Ironically … and U really couldn’t stcript it .. it’s the efl who have presented us with this opportunity

Don’t spoil my day please 
what about this 34m reserve that KM has alluded to that has appeared ? 

Surely the disadvantage inflicted on the club by a 2 year embago (almost relegated) far exceeds any perceived 'advantage' we have derived from overspending (promotion thwarted by clubs who have bent the rules to a far greater extent than ourselves without punishment).
There have been so many changes of attack by the EFL, it is plainly a vendetta.
It's all been said before but it irks me that they plainly make things up as they go along. Now the rule about selling stadia. The only thing that surprises me about that is that it doesn't have a date retrospective to when ours was sold.
As for penalising clubs for taking advantage of (legally) submitting accounts late due to COVID, when they did the same thing themselves just highlights the double standards they apply.
I hope that MP, who someone on the forum wrote to, recommends an investigation into the machinations of the EFL.

Brilliant absolutely brilliant 
Take a bow son 

That’s what I’m thinking too 
I’m hoping uncle Mel has played a blinder here

Derby will only be selling plant based food in all its concourses from next season.

July 16th:
Corner flag makes an announcement…
The new owner wearing the next home kit.
Flanked by 20 new signings.
Mel stood at the back smoking a big phat Cuban cigar.

Can we have a poll ? 

Our amortisation was legal don't forget. 

Just need the right manager to do it 
that isn’t a dig at Rooney … I hope he is 
but it means good proper scouting and player recruitment .. building a side who’s sum are perhaps greater than its parts isnt easy 

How I'm feeling about the EFL verdict and their help in pointing out that we could use the 'extra' money from the sale of Pride Park! #COYR ?
 
 

Got a link mate, I feel blessed as I've been quoted on there too! ? 

Dear Mr Pop,
Thank you for taking the trouble to screenshot a post of mine last night to include on the OTIB forum, I feel blessed.
Despite all your guff and gnashing of teeth, the only  discrepancy The EFL ever had on us was the explanation of our amortisation could have been clearer which is regrettable.
Everything else was approved by them.
 What  I am having trouble comprehending though, is why it’s so difficult for you and your cohorts to understand that though The EFL, aided by the goon at Middlesbrough FC, wanted us hammered and were determined to do so, doesn’t the fact they couldn’t hammer us, even slightly give you the impression they had nothing to hammer us for? ?‍♂️
Give it up old son, you’ve made yourself look a bit silly over this, I mean, you obsess with us yet not a peep out of you regarding Bournemouth, Villa, Leeds or Leicester who have all benefitted far more than us by wandering from the straight and narrow.
And now your work with us is now done, keep your minces on Stoke and Reading, they might give you something else to get your teeth into. Don’t forget to say hello when you visit the cathedral of football on the 23rd of March.
Good grief, imagine if you come here needing points to stay up and we tonk you and send you down...? Karma can be a good thing you know.
Best Regards,

Player of the season 2020/21.

? so again I say whose decision was it to waste more money on him. Just ridiculous 

What we did was unique. I don't buy that it was somehow uniquely awful - even though that appears to be the narrative outside of Derby.
I don't think we come out well. I do hope we can move forward soon.
The relief has faded and now it's just a case of digestion of the after effects and hoping we pull together a reasonable squad next season and the takeover actually happens.

Whoever wrote that is a right numpty.
False equivalence writ large!

I just went back in time and wanted to see how our spending stood up against other teams in the league. Surprisingly, in three of our last four posted accounts, the wage bill of Derby County was HALF of the team spending the most in the league. We have only ever been in the top 6 spending clubs in the division once - 15/16. 
Not bad for a club RUINING football with their reckless overspending, eh?
2014-15: Wage Bill - £21.8m - 33.5% of the wage bill of the highest spending team in the Championship
2015-16: Wage Bill - £32m - 78.04% of the wage bill of the highest spending team in the Championship (most competitive year, 5th highest in the league). 
2016-17: Wage Bill - £34.6m - 30.83% of the wage bill of the highest spending team in the Championship
2017-18: Wage Bill - £40.5m - 42.63% of the wage bill of the highest spending team in the Championship

In 2014 I watched an exciting team, with a wage bill of £14.5m lose to QPR in the playoff final. They had a wage bill of £75million.
Next year it was Hull in the play-offs, with their parachute payments from the previous year, wage bill 30m.
Then a year off before having another go, losing to Fulham in 2018, wage bill £54m.
And then 2019 a loss to Villa, wage bill £65m.
There we have it; 2 playoffs semis, two finals, four loses, twice to teams that didn’t just break FFP but stamped on it, took it outside shot it from a cannon and then reversed over it with a steam roller.

I don't see you point are you saying that if we had spent as much as the teams you mention then we would have been promoted?
Can I just throw out there Johnson, Anya, Butterfield, Blackman, Waghorn.....

............"and will now press for a rule change".
Doesn`t that statement, an admission of their oversight and incompetence  tell you all you need to know?

That para is pretty hilarious. Basically a chartered accountant with much relvant experience and another accountant sitting on the panel did not think this was wrong, but the LAP, who were not accountants, did.
