Yes, my point is that if there is no laid down route to amortisation in advance then how on earth can we be guilty of breaking any rule? If they decided they didn't like the way we did it simply ask us to change, why the need for a points deduction?

IIRC didn’t the EFL’s argument rest on the interpretation of their own regulations saying a method must be “applied consistently” which they retrospectively defined as consistent with other clubs? The panel said there was no legal definition of consistent in this case, and DCFC’s interpretation of it being consistent over time (ie we didn’t change the methodology each year to suit ourselves) was reasonable.

on no new evidence

94.6  No new evidence shall be admitted in respect of a Disciplinary Appeal unless the League Arbitration Panel determines that:

94.6.1  the evidence was not available at the time of the hearing before notwithstanding the exercise of reasonable diligence by the person seeking to introduce it;

94.6.2  the evidence is credible; and

94.6.3  the evidence is relevant.

 

So all three criteria have to apply. Assuming any evidence put forward is credible and relevant (otherwise why bother), this means they’d have to have something wasn’t available before? Is that right?

We're under an embargo for not submitting our accounts anyway, so it's pretty academic at this point.

Forgot about that. Did we think that the reason we hadn’t submitted was because we were waiting for the appeal to conclude and determine if they expected us to change amortisation policy (rather than just clarify the system we use more fully) and then amend figures accordingly? 

I think it should be made public if the EFL’s appeal means we are under a soft transfer embargo. If so, then that risks torpedoing our preparations regardless of the outcome of the appeal anyway.

I cannot believe that we are currently so terrible I have been forced in to a position where I want Luton to win a football match. 

'sake. 

I already had to support Forest on Saturday. Awful. 

I played Derby v Forest on FIFA last night. Grabban was awful. It was clearly an omen.

Sounds like we could do with signing Snake Plissken

Ah - a man with the same depth perception as Connor Sammon!

Music life is great there. Plenty of decent venues and always a good crowd. Get a demo together and send them this link + others if you have more.

I’ll get our booking agent on it. Not played Brighton before, but should be on our list for next year. Cheers!!

Good stuff pal, hope to see you at a Brighton gig next year. Concorde 2, Hope & Ruin, The Green Door Store etc

That’d be cool. Not been out in Brighton for a while (play off semi I think was the last time, in fact).

Hi all. Lifelong Derby fan here, season ticket holder in the East Stand. My band, Doomsday Outlaw, had our tune, Bring It On Home, as the soundtrack the DCFC warm up video on the big screen before every home game last season.
 

Just released our new single, Runaway. Hope it ticks the boxes for some of you!:
