A 6-0 hammering at Manchester City on Sunday confirmed what many R's fans had expected throughout 2014/15 with relegation back to the Championship for next season.
While clubs, such as Nottingham Forest of course, that are in the Football League can be punished with various sanctions such as a transfer embargo, this will be the first case of a club in this situation subsequently coming back into the Football League and a heavy fine (reportedly as much as £58m) is hanging over QPR's heads.
A detailed analysis of the case comes from an article on the Sky Sports website.
