QPR fans now face the prospect that hopes of a return to the Premier League will be dashed by a points deduction if the Club is found guilty of seven breaches of FA regulations.
This has led fans to question the role played by former agent Gianni Paladini in Club affairs. Paladini, who himself stands personally accused of giving false information to the FA continues to remain a director and chairman of QPR Football and Athletic Club although his position on the Board of QPR Holdings was recently terminated.
In fairness to Mr Paladini it is important to point out that the charges made against both the Club and himself have been denied. Nevertheless the wording of the Club’s statement, that no deliberate wrongdoing has taken place is of concern, if it means that we are relying on ignorance as a defence.
We hope that the club can demonstrate that it has always acted in good faith seeking advice and clarification when necessary. If wrongdoing is indeed found by the FA to have taken place, deliberate or otherwise, we hope that the FA will find the most effective way of limiting the punishment to the person or persons involved rather than punishing blameless players and fans.
In the meanwhile we urge all fans to get behind our manager and the squad as every point we can earn may prove to be more vital than ever to our promotion campaign
