QPR chief executive Lee Hoos sends heartfelt letter to fellow Championship clubs in attempt to cut £42m FFP fine... but request is met with some opposition in 'short, terse debate' at Tuesday's meeting

Queens Park Rangers have launched an audacious attempt to have their Financial Fair Play penalty reduced.

The club wrote a heartfelt letter to other Championship sides, claiming the £42million punishment dished out in 2018 is too harsh. But opposition to the request was voiced in what was described as a 'short, terse debate' at Tuesday's second-tier meeting.

The letter, sent by chief executive Lee Hoos, compares the punishment handed out to QPR with lesser penalties given to Manchester City, Inter Milan and PSG.

QPR CEO Lee Hoos believes there was a positive reaction to his letter to Championship clubs

QPR were sanctioned after they spectacularly broke spending limits on their way to winning promotion to the Premier League in 2014.
