Assume you meant that ironically as no one ever seems to be punished by the rules at the time for FFP, they just change or bend them. Weren't QPR supposed to be relegated to League 1 under FFP if they went down this year?
The punishment applying to a promoted 2013/14 Championship clubs is clear: Club pays Fair Play Tax (FPT) (with all proceeds going to charity).
The FPT amounts are:
£6,681,000 + full amount of anything over the allowed £8million (eg. if loss is £30 million then the extra tax will be £22million) = total of £26,681,000 to be paid to charity.
Anyone know what happens if the tax is not paid?
Just relegate Pompey,
The rules as they stand would mean QPR have to pay a fine of over 57m quid to charity. If they do not pay, the FL are within their rights to not allow them back into the Football League (Championship, League 1 or League 2).
The fact that no announcement has been made by the FL regarding the ratification of QPR's outrageous attempts to get around the rules suggest to me that there is an awful lot of arguing going on behind the scenes and the FL are not giving in. As the FL is effectively a members club, I would think that any changes to the rules to accommodate QPR would have to be agreed by the members, hence why this is dragging on. QPR will be relegated, so they need to get it sorted out pdq.
It wouldn't surprise me if the Premier League said if the FL won't accept QPR back into the Championship only two can go up.

I think they would be on dodgy ground legally.
It was stated in the press & on here that under the rules at the time (under a year ago) it should happen
Most clubs would struggle to find the money to pay that much in one go and in all honesty I expect some deal to be done which means that QPR will be playing in the Championship next year. The 57m payment being spread over a number of years, probably directly fed straight from the parachute money they will receive and possibly any TV money they will receive if they return to the Premiership. Should also get a significant points deduction next year.

Perhaps they should be made to sell the players they couldn't have afforded without breaking the rules?
