Loopholes ?
Like the loopholes that allow Olympiacos & Forest, Udinese & Watford to move players between each other for FFP benefits
Will there be any surprise when Ebosele is playing for Watford next season ?

True, but that ship has sailed.
My concern is that we're going to read other Ebosele type stories over the next week

So if this Ebosele story is true, it's exactly why Rooney said in early January that the ownership needed sorting before the end of the transfer window & he actually said that some of his players had been offered pre-contract deals elsewhere.
If the ownership was already sorted, we could have given these players new contracts which would also have protected their financial value to us

Remember when Mel Morris gave his post administration interview to Radio Derby & made the 'this will be better in the long term' comment
Well that's not going too well so far is it Mel ??

Sorry to bring bad news, but I suggest people look on the transfer thread for the story about Ebosele going for his medical at Udinese (sister club of Watford)
This is going very badly

Having slept on it,
It might be the case the the EFL's point of view is that they can't have it accepted that administration is seen as a way to avoid having to fight/arbitrate/mediate claims for damages.
Which is why they mentioned the Boro claim was started prior to administration.
It's just that it was also launched when DCFC had only been found to have been guilty of inadequate notes in the accounts...far less than the systemically cheating for years claim of Stephen Mr Gibson Steve or a crime that directly denied Middlesbrough a play off place.
Now, taking my Derby County hat off, could the circumstances look like Mel Morris put the club into administration to avoid having to fight or settle the claims from Boro and Wycombe? It could read that way, and given Mel's Byzantine company structures and Stephen Pearce's accounting tricks, the "optics" aren't great - hence the big push to say it was the covid that done it - just as fans were being allowed back and costs were massively reduced at the club?
I think we can all buy it that Mel Morris has not been playing with a straight bat.
For new ownership, it's a matter of cost - they won't particularly care about Mel's misdeeds beyond what it cost them. For us, it's about the pride and reputation of our club.
I know I don't want a settlement out of not wanting the stain of legitimising Gibson's claims and the language around them. Settle and it's fans of every other club banging on about systemically cheating for years for decades.
God I hate Mel Morris, I hate Steve Gibson, I hate Stephen Pearce, I hate the EFL and I football. Couhig is just an annoyance, like when you get Steve Gibson on your shoe.
Still ducking love Derby.

So why didn't the EFL state this ducking 6 months a go?
Then we could have gone to court months a go and the takeover could be going through. 
But no, they wait until a few days after the transfer window shuts to state their position. 
No vendetta my arse. 
Bamfords. 

Hope this is true but I struggle to believe that my season ticket money paid nearly 18 months ago is still sat in an account being drip fed now ?
