Clear Championship table-toppers QPR are 1.12 to finish the campaign in first place and that's a price well worth tucking into now judging by the rumours that they won't be deducted points for the controversy surrounding their 2009 purchase of Alejandro Faurlin.
It has been reported that the signing of the Argentine midfielder breached a number of regulations regarding third-party ownership and The Sun are reporting that while the Hoops will be found guilty of several of the seven rule breaches they are accused of, a hefty fine is the most likely punishment.
The reaction of manager Neil Warnock if similarities between the arrangement bringing the 24-year-old to Loftus Road and Carlos Tevez's 2006 switch to West Ham are shown to exist but the west Londoners escape with their 79-point tally intact will be eagerly anticipated.
The outspoken coach reacted furiously to the authorities' failure to dock points off the Irons in 2006-07 campaign and attempted to pinpoint it as the reason for his Sheffield United side's relegation, ignoring the fact that the Blades blew an 11-point advantage over them in the final nine games.
QPR have been comfortably the strongest team in the second tier this season and have established such a lead at the top, sitting nine points clear of second-placed Norwich and 13 ahead of Swansea in third with seven matches remaining, that they could probably even survive a deduction in the worst case scenario.
