QPR retain title after Football Association verdictQPR will be promoted as Championship winners after they escaped a points deduction despite being found guilty of two of seven charges relating to the signing of Alejandro Faurlin.The club were accused of breaking third party ownership rules over the Argentine's transfer in July 2009.
Reports suggested they could be docked 15 points, which would have relegated them into the play-off places.
But the verdict means QPR will receive the Championship trophy on Saturday.
The club host Leeds in their final game of the season at 1245 BST.
Reacting to the verdict, manager Neil Warnock said: "There have been a few tears in the dressing room. It's been a hell of a time and how they (the players) have been able to focus I'll never know.
"I can't praise them high enough. It hasn't sunk in completely. It's just a relief to know we are the champions.
"People have been speaking out who didn't know their facts. Our barrister said to me we have breached a couple of regulations but he didn't see a points deduction."
The decision not to dock the club points followed a hearing by an independent tribunal convened by the Football Association.
An FA statement said: "The Regulatory Commission hearing charges brought by The FA against Queens Park Rangers FC wish to announce that although two of the charges have been found to be proved there will be no points deduction made from Queens Park Rangers FC in this season or the next."
