Does the World Revolve around The Sun?
In the build up to the FA hearing it was always likely that sensationalist stories would appear in many of the tabloids. In recent days both the Sun and the Daily Mail have published entirely conflicting information about what the outcome of the hearing will be, showing how little they actually know about the subject. The FA has not commented on the matter, and Queens Park Rangers have released a statement which makes it clear that they will not be commenting on The Suns article either.
It is clear that the independent panel will not be influenced by completely unfounded rumours, especially one coming from such a lowly-regarded newspaper. It speaks volumes that no respected national newspaper has come out with such an unreliable and uninformed story. The article claims to have been based on a statement by an FA source, stating, "There's no question QPR have broken the rules. They know it as well. The only debate is what to do about it. If they aren't found guilty you might as well scrap the rules about third-party owners."
Queens Park Rangers have openly admitted to the fact that they broke the rules regarding the non-FA registered agent that was used for the transfer, and they WILL be found guilty for this offence, which will result in a small fine. The fact that this supposedly credible FA source has stated that Queens Park Rangers will be “hit hard” for breaching the third-party ownership rules will cause many people to wonder whether Shaun Custis simply overheard a discussion between the Norwich City and Cardiff City supporting toilet attendants in the “corridors of power.” The article would be more suited to a club message board ‘Rumours’ section than the back-page of a national newspaper, but this has probably helped The Sun sell a few more papers, saved Shaun Custis from the task of doing any real journalism, and allowed him to spend the day backtracking on twitter. Just THREE hours after declaring a remarkable 15 point deduction Mr. Custis announced to the world, “Don't know if they will be docked points but possible.” Remarkable.
The fact that many people are choosing to ignore about this case is that Alejandro Faurlin has never been an ineligible player for Queens Park Rangers, so any sort of points deduction would be unwarranted. Once the Football League Rules were changed to forbid any sort of third-party involvement he was given a new contract in accordance with advice received from the FA, after the club drew their attention to it. A simple clerical error in the forms was highlighted and the high-class Withers law firm will prove that no deliberate (and more importantly, no performance enhancing) wrongdoing occurred. A fine it will be, and Queens Park Rangers fans will be able to celebrate a long-awaited return to the Premier League tomorrow if their team is able to gain a point against Watford.
