It is being claimed that QPR could face a record fine under financial fair play regulations. Given their inflated wage blll, they could announce losses of £80m next spring for 2012-13. This would lead to a fine of £62m which would wipe out their additional Premier League income if they were promoted. Even if the losses were £60m, they could be fined £40m.

A note of caution is necessary, however. Both internationally and domestically, the financial fair play regulations are buiilt on uncertain legal foundations. They are open to a legal challenge and it would certainly be worth QPR mounting such a challenge if a fine of this size was imposed.
