With the news that Tony Fernandes has confirmed that QPR will not be sacking Our 'Arry comes the seeming certainty that he will be back among us in the Championship next season.....FFP permitting!
QPR were fined a (suspended) £30m or £40m. - it depends which reports you read - for overspending to buy promotion. The sum is payable before they are accepted back into the Football League.
Now Rangers believe that because the other clubs changed the rules earlier this season allowing higher losses, they can escape any fines under the principle of Lex Mitior or "the lesser law. Simply put if the law changes during the process of the "wrong" then the punishment should be the lesser of the two determinations. So QPR argue that although there were lesser limits on losses last year and this, the higher limits applying from next season should apply.
However this is perhaps undermined if existing punishments are adhered to by clubs like Forest, Blackburn & Leeds and would in any event not prevent club Chairmen from the 72 from rejecting QPR's required application to rejoin them. Likely or unlikely? I suspect a compromise payment but it could be quite an amusing summer before 'Arry is truly back where he belongs!
