Year right what ever
They tried to destroy us and they failed at it.
Like another poster a suggestion event to remained people that efl are in the wrong and they know it.

Much like yourself @Curtains

(twice I've used that gif today but appropriate on both occasions)

They spend what they like.  
 
Just think if they hadn’t got promoted they may have been going where we are now.  

That is incomprehensible 

I will never get over what the EFL did to my beloved club.
Surprises me why other readily accept it

Think they still will if they get relegated hopefully this season or Marinikas gets a well over due tap on the shoulder from the Greek Prosecutor who is investigating him ??

Proof of legitimate funds might prove problematic for one of our near neighbours ?

The amortisation (player depreciation) issue. It's a weird one. Under UK Government accounting rules (FRS102), the methodology used by DCFC under MM (he told the EFL he was going to use that method in 2015, why did it take them 4 years to decide it was "illegal" under EFL rules?) is 100% legal and used by many firms. In 2019 there wasn't a specific EFL rule disallowing its use. 
The first tribunal, which contained some accountants (logical when it's an accounting issue) found the club not guilty. The EFL decided to appeal, on the very last day they could lodge an appeal. The appeal committee contained ZERO accountants to adjudge this accounting issue. They found DCFC guilty. We had to amend and resubmit several years accounts and the end result was we were seen to have broken FFP limits in, IIRC, 3 seasons. That led to the 9 point deduction.
Several months later, the EFL introduced a new rule disallowing the methodology DCFC had used. Yes, that's right. They made a rule to stop anyone else doing it. So, why did we get found guilty. The answer is that they have, alongside the specific rules, a catch all get out clause to the effect that they can decide something is wrong if they feel like it. In this case DCFC was using a different amortisation methodology to the rest of the Championship sides and that was, somehow, despite being legal, unfair to the other clubs.
Did we get shafted? IMO most definitely. Why were we shafted? Again, this is a personal opinion. MM had ruffled too many EFL feathers and was involved in a spat with another SBC club chairman and together they saw a way to "get their own back".
Move to 2023 and it seems Chelsea are doing the same, or something very similar. UEFA will be changing their rules next season to stop anybody else doing it. Chelsea have got in first and will get away with it.
Strangely enough, I'm glad someone got burnt, unhappy it was us but I sincerely hope that the EFL and PL (hopefully UEFA and FIFA too) change the rules in order to ensure no other club can get into the situation we were in.  

Of course we were, they retrospectively changed the rules after we were punished that weren’t actually rules at the time we committed the ‘offences’, and then changed other rules after we were punished in order to allow other clubs to not get punished.
They were able to bully other, smaller clubs into oblivion and tried to do the same to us, but they bit off more than they could chew, making themselves look like the incompetent organisation that they are, in front of the whole country, Parliament etc.
Unfortunately now that the furore has died down they’ve crawled back under their rock, and we’ve got on with our business of playing football again. IMO It would have been nice to have done something on the anniversary of the March to remind everyone of what a useless organisation they are, but in retrospect it’s probably better that we do keep our heads down for a while.
If there’s any good that comes out of our predicament, hopefully it’s that no club will have to go through what we’ve been through, that they should be helping clubs survive when they get into financial trouble and not turning the screw on them like they have done up to now.

I think we need to move on from this, the past is the past, we need to build for the future, get behind the team and move forward

I can’t do anything. 
The horse has bolted .
Doesn’t mean Derby County and MM we’re fairly treated does it. 

No just once 
“Derby County have been hit with a nine-point penalty from the EFL, with a further three points suspended, after the Championship club admitted to breaches of Profitability and Sustainability (P&S) rules. The penalty takes Derby's total deductions for the 2021-22 season to 21 points.16 Nov 2021”
We still sing about it lol. 

To old to have a day job ?

We aren’t allowed to spend money ? just ask Chelsea as they don’t seem to have a problem.
But seriously the EFL gave us a business plan that IMO is s***. 
 
PS The soothsayers may not agree and think we should be flogged forever for our indiscretions

The second goal last night was awful defending by 3 midfield players from a throw in .
We are where we are .
Doing well in League 1

Why has the Chrissy Martin thread been locked? He was spotted earlier at Moor Farm practicing penalties. Shoddy moderation.

Yep. Maybe the key word in the Twitter post was “tonight”.

For me it’s not the way the EFL have treated us so much it’s how they have treated other clubs who are in similar strait’s because consistency is totally missing with a climate of totally changing the so called rules and interpretations.
The worse thing - the absolute worst thing was the EFL allowing a situation to occur where we were being blackmailed with the very existence of our football club because of the actions of the owners of Middlesbrough and Wycombe football clubs.
