QPR in arbitration with Football League over FFP fine

Relegated QPR have insisted they will fight any attempt by the Football League to impose a fine on the club for Financial Fair Play breaches, reports The Guardian. Legal proceedings between QPR and the Football League are still going on and an independent arbitration panel will decide on whether QPR are liable. The club could face a fine of up to £58m for FFP breaches but are challenging the legality of the rules.

A joint statement from QPR and the Football League said: "Legal proceedings are ongoing as between Queen's Park Rangers and the Football League.

"QPR challenges the legality of the Football League's Championship financial fair play rules and any charge against QPR (if any) for breach of FFP Rules shall not be commenced pending the outcome of that challenge.

"The proceedings are confidential in nature and neither party is entitled to comment upon the proceedings until the independent arbitral panel has delivered its decision."
