Nedum Onuoha just explained on R5 he heard from a QPR pal that QPR's not taking the knee was a complete cock up, and Ferdinand's explanation was ill considered damage limitation (my words not his, but....). The players were going to take the knee and something went wrong. Cock up, not any sort of plan.
That explains why there was no advanced warning.
Time to move on (with a continuation of taking the knee, 'the start' as Nedum puts it).
