The EFL don't have a dispassionate justification, Ken Tram.
They exist in a spiteful, insular parallel universe where objection to their vapid policies and initiatives, like the feeble broadcasting rights deal, or intervention in the imbalance of 'parachute payments' is admonished and suppressed  in a harsh, lengthy and painless fashion.
Derby are major criminals! Their plans and projection must be disrupted and their competitiveness damaged for years.
However, in the other irregular football universe, six self-appointed 'elite' Premier League clubs join a clandestine mutiny for a European Super League which would wreck football pyramids around Europe, have to back down in disgrace - but 'endure' a rapid judgement within weeks being required to pay the equivalent of a £3.7 million donation apiece to football funding.
They suffered no points deduction, no embargoes, no banishments from cup or European competitions, no relegations.
The 'elite six' can still spend freely - indeed, Manchester Utd spent £73 million a few days ago on one player, Sancho, and are mooted to be spending another £80 million+ on two more players. The normal order of things continues.
Well done, EFL, you've really got your house in order.

It might be quite a good idea if the club were to now send out S/T letters to subscribing fans, such as used to happen in January / February when the world was different.
We have become so habituated to the online abuse and season-on-season of purgatory posturing from the EFL, plus the resultant press clickbait and social media frenzy, that a touch or ordinary communication would be a refreshing change.
Time to reset and restore a bit of the fans' faith in the operation.

There once was an owner called Mel
Who suffered two years of hell
He was conned by a sheikh 
Then a guy on the make 
Is there anyone to whom he can sell? 

There must be some more normal, credible, wealthy people out there and who could be interested, as opposed to characters like Alonso and Sheik Yerbooty?
The EFL saga & Keogh-gate were bad enough but the ownership and backing for rebuilding and stability is key. Save us!

As expected, DCFC's comments are pretty informative and encouraging for flag-carriers. Some other club comments are dumb, inadequate, or just boorish!
