Here's Clive Whittingham's piece about it ...

That's a brilliant summary of the situation. Well worth reading.
As QPR's supporters, we all have faces full of stress and wrinkles but there is a solution, or two.
To keep my youthful looks, I wash my face daily with Viagra face wash, followed by a soothing face cream, Anusol, to rid myself of those unwanted sags and for the seasoned QPR fan ...( see below)

I think this is well worth a listen. Clearly LH is hampered by what he can say on the actual case but he re-iterates the direction the club is going in and I think it brings a bit of perspective.

Everyone is between a rock and a hard place. The EFL realised the rules that we broke, knowingly and flagrantly, would destroy clubs and changed them. But they can’t let us off or significantly reduce the punishment, because that just sends the message that, hey if you complain and spend money on lawyers, you can get away with it. Which ultimately puts more clubs at risk because one thing is certain about owners, 99% will walk away eventually.
So we will spend more on lawyers, stuck in a kind of purgatory, and let’s assume the appeal will fail, because it probably deserves to. So then the Malaysians have to pay up, because if it’s put on the club it’s certain administration and possible closure. But they don’t have to, do they? It doesn’t make any sense, what’s in it for them, good money after bad. Only their consciences, a sense of guilt for getting us in this ****ing ****hole, and perhaps a genuine affection for the club and the fans who (rightly) abuse them for their serial incompetence, would lead them to bail us out.
Nice summary by Clive, but his bash at the big clubs which break the rules is irrelevant. Firstly, on a tedious technical level, they are subject to different rules, and obviously the PL and UEFA ones are less punitive. Secondly, get real, these are the elite, and the elite set the rules. Finally, odious as they may be, Chelsea, City, PSG contribute to the football ‘industry’, they add to the balance sheets of other clubs and the administrators’ coffers. Clubs like QPR don’t. The sooner the elite clubs **** off and form their own league where they can play each other endlessly the better as far as I am concerned.

I can't see Any substantial fine being dished out to Rangers, there are not going to cripple the club, it will blow over and be a small fine, we heard about this every week years ago, that Rangers were going to do a Pompey, that never happened, papers love to sensationalize a story, it just may cost tony a couple of £s, but as fans we look at worse case scenario
Very well put & just shows you how niave we was, that big fine will crucify us if & when it happens, ok structure has started now but too little to late.
The biggest fine in sporting history...yep, only QPR could walk into that one.
Really good article, reprise and comment. Through its new owners, our club were taken into a perfect storm of commercial marketing, hype and gross salaries to unmotivated managers and players. Of course, as Clive says, at the time, we loved it, with the natural optimism of fans but perhaps there was the shadow of "what happens when this dream ends and we wake up."
We've woken up. We're wide awake. If the owners pay the fine (it must be, what, 50/50 whether they do?), we continue to struggle for survival in the Championship - which looks quite a decent option now. If we're cut adrift by the owners, we're back to collections in buckets at games. QPR never does things by halves.
And let’s face it, none of us needed to put the sheets in the wash when we woke up.
Meanwhile on Sunday an Air Asia flight from Perth to Bali was forced to turn back with a technical issue. It dropped 24,000 feet in 9 minutes, the oxygen masks deployed and the cabin crew panicked, crying and screaming. No advice was offered in English.
Feel familiar?
They did all survive though.......but Air Asia is not offering refunds.

Yes, the technical issue was - the engines stopped working. In those instances, passengers look to the crew for reassurance. If the crew are crying and screaming, it does generally lead to cabin melt down, particularly when "crew" includes the pilots. Glad to hear all involved had a happy ending, if that doesn't sound too personal
Presumably that was in place of refunds!
An Air Asia cost saving measure. Who knows what delights are in store for the next QPR season ticket holder who goes to the booking office asking for reimbursement!

Tony is working overtime then.
Having been to the ticket office a few times this season I think I'd deal with a refund myself. At least I'd know what to expect
