Bournemouth have developed and bought a decent enough squad so it won't affect them. QPR and Leicester fined by whom?

At least that's four of the relegation battlers should the football league keep up

Football League.
I thought we had been assured by a Bournemouth poster in the know that they had passed....No great surprises in there though.

But QPR and Leicester are not in the football league....I thought that was the whole point, that if they get relegated they need to pay any fine or they will not be able to rejoin the Football League? So that is why QPR are challenging it through the courts.

A poster on NSC who claims to be 'in the know' and it turns out that they're not? Surely some mistake?!
Payable if they wish to re-enter the FL which I imagine they will at a point in time sooner rather than later.

If they are relegated in the future they have to pay the outstanding fine before the Football League allow them entry. If the FL do not grant them entry they will have to join the Conference.

It wasn't the whole point but an offshoot of it. Originally the fines would have been distributed amongst those Championship clubs that did not break the rules, so we would have got a share of 50m in fines, which would have been rather nice. But the PL objected and the money is now to go to charity.
QPR have been making noises about challenging it through the courts and there was talk that if they refused to pay the fine they would not be allowed back into the Football League. We will just have to see what happens.

Any fines from the Fair Play Tax is donated to football based charities , QPR will challenge on the basis they were still in the Premier League when the original FFP rules for the Championship were introduced and therefore being promoted back to the Premier League at the first attempt makes them exempt from any fine the Football League tries to impose.
It's up to the FL to make their rules, and if a club wants to be in the FL, they have to agree to the rules. If QPR don't agree to the rules, the FL should be able to refuse entry, indefinitely.

Sod donating it to charity. Divvy it up between the clubs that complied with FFP on a pro-rata basis. Non-compliance financing compliers ongoing costs. Cheating will mean you are shooting yourself in the foot, as you will be financing the oppo! Simple way to level the playing field at one stroke...

Three of these teams could be in the Premier next season, so some could say it's a gamble worth taking ?

It could turn out that QPR are relegated and legal action is still ongoing in respect of the fine , in that scenario can the Football League still expel them ? The common sense answer is yes but there will be greedy legal experts arguing to the contrary.
Without doubt, regardless of what we're discussing.

That was the original concept until the Premier League objected as the newly promoted clubs would then come under a different set of rules and guidelines.

It's a shame WE can't have a transfer ban as long as Burke and his recruitment team are in charge............
Could have done with one in the summer, couldn't we?

Football is just becoming a comedy media/money driven pot of pi$$, with more bollox talked and written about what is in truth, usually a very poor product. Probably 90% of what is played globally is shi#e, so we have to have 'controversy' to make it resemble something interesting...
Cue months of legalese nonsense and a limpwristed outcome...

How can they challenge a ruling that they signed up to at the beginning of the season.
A club wouldn't dream of challenging the 3 points for a win rule if they were denied promotion or that they lost out on promotion due to the goal difference rule, rather than goals scored or alphabetical order (taking it to a petty extreme).
