I would imagine the legal costs, were more than the RECORD fine.

Is Nic still banned from this site?

Yes he is... This site doesn't do childish points and suspensions, etc (or knowingly allow banned posters back on under new names). That doesn't mean for certain that a ban is for life. But certainly the "default" position is that when you're banned, you're banned.
Although if Nico (or certain others) ever want to gets a message out (which I have no reason to believe), if he emails it to me at qprreport@hotmail.com I would post it, assuming it's "ok.)
But that doesn't mean I'm not grateful to what Nico did in this case; or that I don't very much admire many of his photos (obviously re QPR especially)

Mac here's the bit it Refers too , just went out and bought it!
Football League Paper
FA IGNORED ADVICE TO BACK OFF-CHRIS DUNLAVY
NEIL WARNOCK has revealed that the FA were urged to drop their crumbling case against QPR a fortnight ago.
But high ranking FA officials ignored legal advise and demanded a formal hearing be held.
Rangers were charged with seven breaches of League rules in September relating to the transfer of midfielder Alejandro Faurlin from Instituto in 2009.
However the hearing was delayed until May 9th , leaving the Championship winners in agonising limbo amid rumours of a 15 point deduction.
In the end Rangers were found guilty of two smaller charges and fined £800,000 with the timing of the verdict 45 minutes before kick off on the final day of the season -widely criticised.
The two sides used the same Legal team and they ALMOST agreed a deal the week before said Warnock.
But someone at the FA pushed for the hearing to go ahead
It was obvious there was never a case to answer !
When my barrister explained the charges he said, Neil there is seven charges but it is clear theres only two that we have breached regulations.
Even then it was only on Technicalitieslike the registration of the Agent . Thats not a points deduction thats just a mistake.
This was taken from a large piece Titled WARNOCK MUST SOLVE HIS PREMIER DILEMMA.
Will let you know if anything of interest in Here.

Nice one Harlow, perhaps the Football League should have kept it in house, all very well blaming the FA but they passed it to them!
