    They have done nothing - except prevent us from appealing a penalty because they knew we have be saleable. So with that bit of timely threat they prevent just being done. …. Was this “negotiation?” 
     
    sorry I thought rules were rules ? So all of a sudden the ffp deduction is resolved . Funny how it all happened so quickly once we surrendered. Nothing more then protection racketeers
     
    Loathsome organisation.

    Thanks but no thanks Mr Birch.
    We’d prefer you and your sort to stay as far away from our club as possible!

    Got the free kick for Trent cross for a goal and also hit post .
    Missed a good chance but it’s early days for him 
    All about opinions mate but Ian Wright rates him. 
     
    Trents delivers great crosses but hasn’t got Walkers pace

    And by your metrics, a £21.5 million disadvantage in the final years of the respective players' contracts. ERV and straight line amortisation policies have two salient similarities; they start and end with the same sums, so net depreciation figures for the two methods are identical. Our methodology was accepted by the EFL for the three years in question and independently audited and approved by Derby's auditors, the IDC and the The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW). That's three independent and fully qualified bodies versus the the appeal board which was appointed by the EFL and contained not one accounting professional and whose decision remains unratified, yet cannot be appealed. 
    Against this background, the club has spent most of the last two years under embargo and now finds itself shorn of senior squad members, unable to develop youth acquisitions and facing the additional punishment of a points deduction approaching 3 times that of Reading who made operating losses of £43.5million in the 2019/20 season, with accumulated losses totalling £138million. Their last overall wage bill was £37.6m with wages running at 211 per cent of revenue compared with 226 per cent the previous year. More frustrating still is the fact that Reading are able to appeal their 9 point sanction via an independent panel. 
    With all this in mind, can you explain why you take issue with folk suggesting there is something of a witch-hunt in process because for the life of me, it's hard to see anything even-handed about the EFL's behaviour at any point throughout the process. Folk are not expecting any kind of special dispensation after all, only a fair trial which I'd venture is far from unreasonable.

    It is a big deal. It’s huge (for us ) but if that is our fair and reasonable punishment then so be it.
     
     What is vomit inducing is the over riding sense that the EFL want more and with no rational justification.  They want to see clubs that transgress, humiliated and destroyed .. the dilatory messing about about over multi season deductions is loathsome , not sporting or proportionate in any sense. It is fundamentally wrong.  The messages coming from the EFL raises them to the status of all powerful deities … They are not. They are a petty, badly organised outfit, rife with pressure groups and individual self interest. 
     
    Whatever we as DCFC or Mel have done .. there is no way in a just world that we have deserved the witch hunt they have launched and perpetuated for 2 years. The appalling, thoroughly unsportsmanlike leverage they seem to relish in applying is anathema to any lover of the game

    I was surprised by the non-investigation for running Lewis off the road. It was very much a "I'm a just going to schumacher you off the road" to the extent he couldn't make the corner himself (you know, the kind of "dirty driving" the RBR went on a massive character assassination over, surely horner is demanding a race ban etc etc)
    More epic stuff from Lewis.
    Bottas lucked out on pitting during a virtual safety car to get past Perez, but they're both ordinary next Max and Lewis.
    Good job by Ferrari to get the best of the rest.
    Bad weekend for McLaren in the battle for 3rd in the constructors.
    Gasly vs Alpine still on a knife edge - I think Alpha tauri will pip Alpine in the end.
