[quote user="Pabs"]Superhoop - rather than becoming ''increasingly desperate'' I think you will find most Norwich fans don''t really care about your ''plight.'' All we are interested in is staying above the other 22 teams in the division and getting promotion. I have given the whole thing about two minutes thought and then decided you would get a fine, and that we need to get maybe 12 points now for promotion, and you will probably finish 10 above us. Look forward to playing you in the Prem in 2011/12.[/quote]   Talking of becoming increasingly desperate heres Dave Jones. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13013386.stm The first of the competing managers to talk about our charges. I expect the noise from Norwich and Wales will only get louder the closer we get to the FA hearing. Hopefully Lambert has a bit more class than to start spouting off. I expected it from that boring tool Jones.

[quote user="morty"][quote user="Superhoop"] Thanks for the comments I was expecting some abuse. [:)] Yes we are bricking it. The problem is you never know with the FA, although I dont think they would be so stupid to screw up the whole Promotion/play off picture the day before the end of the season.   [/quote] But surely that would be better than not dealing with it correctly and it dragging on over the summer? And the FA possibly leaving themselves open to litigation from a club who could have gone up to the Premiership if the proper punishment was handed out? Not wanting to worry you further than you already are (But I will anyway!) but if there was no case to answer then no hearing required surely? Really wouldn''t want to be in your shoes right now lol. [/quote]   Im sure there is a case to answer, especially as our chairman (Paladini) is as dodgy as they come. All im saying is that I dont think our alleged crime fits the punishment of docked points as we havent gained an unfair advantage over other teams. Also im pretty sure that its in the FA''s interests to take this to a hearing as they are likely to hit us with a large fine as they know we have the money to pay it.

I will pretend I didnt read the other posters comments above about how worried we should be and just keep reading yours. [;)] I also cant see any similarities in the Luton and Histon cases. I think the worst we can expect is a token gesture points deduction that will not have any impact on the league placings, that way the FA appear to be taken a firm stance and will also set a precedent to other clubs. Anyway heres hoping we are both  [B] [<:o)] on May 7th.

Yes the attendance was dissapointing, however we are in an error with 5 london premiership clubs (2 of them on our doorstep) and at least another 8 in the lower leagues. Our ground only holds 18,000 there was only about 300 away fans so that left about 1500 empty seats the others that didnt sell were all restricted view. All our other allocations home and away are sold out for the rest of the season. Lets just hope we get to see us lift a trophy at some stage.

Just the way I see it mate. As I say its understandable im sure a lot of our forums would be similar if we were in the same position. But I cant see how our promotion rivals can complain too much as we havent gained an unfair advantage as Faurlin has never been deemed inelligiable.   

Ive been reading this message board on and off for a few months and I have noticed that a lot of posters are coming across as increasingly desperate regarding our FA Charges. I understand why to a certain extent as the prize of reaching the Premier league is such a great one. So I thought I would try to add a few facts to the debate. 1. Faurlin has never been deemed as Ineligible by the FA. When we Signed him there was no rule by the Football league (only a Premier League rule) regarding third party ownership. When the third party rules came in QPR alerted the FA regarding the Faurlin transfer and were at no stage told that he was not allowed to play. 2. The unlicensed agent was licensed by FIFA just not by the FA. Administritive error. Leeds and Barnsley I think recieved small fines for this fairly recently. 3. I read someone comparing this to the Luton case where they were docked 30 points. 20 of those points were for issues relating to going into and out of administration. The other 10 points were for something like 20 odd charges of financial irregularities. Our charges are a) not as serious and b) not as many. 4. I also read on here someone complaining that if Hereford and Torquay are being deducted points then so should QPR. The difference here is both players were ineligiable the paperwork wasnt completed in time. I believe the FA rules state that if a player is not registered with the club he will be deducted 3 points for each game he plays in and 1 for a defeat or loss. Again we have not been charged with fielding an inelligiable palyer so this punishment will not apply to us. 5. We also have to take into account that no one, as far as I am aware, has been docked points in the past for the issues that we have been charged on. 6. The only problem we may have is if the FA can prove that we delibrately mislead them. Although this seems to be more of a personal charge against our chairman. How difficult it is to prove something like this I dont know.  Hope that clears things up. Obviously no one knows for certain what the FA will do as they are rather unpredictable but personally I cant see how we can be docked enough points to miss out on Promotion, it would be a logistical nightmare for the FA. Imagine if we were docked 20-30 points and missed out on promotion we would have 28 days to appeal and if necessary drag this through the courts what would happen with the play offs and fixtures for next season. Well done on a great season. Hope you can join us in the Premier league (in second place of course ). Much rather you lot went up than one of the sheep fiddlers. Good luck against Swansea.
