Yep I fully understand that and again the truth of everything will never get heard in public. I accept our over spending on mediocre players and I frequently commentated on it but the behaviour and actions of the EFL will get hidden away again 

It’s not really anybody to do with Derby county football club agreeing with this it’s the administrators doing it to sell the club under duress like a forced confession before hanging 

I thought that was great!! ? 

Good for me will be retiring there in about 7 years, if i last that long ?

This is the EFL reaping what they sow
Let's not forget that all the original charges against us were dismissed - but the EFL chose to appeal the result.
At that point, they could have just let it go - moved on, and regardless of what the likes of Boro said - could have just pointed at the hearing outcome and say "it was investigated and they were found not guilty". The matter is closed
But no - everything they have chosen to do since then has led to this position, where they let it drag on far too long and they are in danger of setting precedents that have clubs sueing each other as a result.
As many have pointed out above - once you start pulling that thread, where does it end?
This is all on you EFL
 
 
 
 

It looks to me like every avenue that has been open to other clubs previously is slowly being closed to us.
The EFL want us down and clearly don't want us back any time soon.

That's  *xc****nt. 

I really don’t .
I have always said FFP is ridiculous and maintain that. .
We are in this mess because off FFP and Mel getting totally blitzed by the EFL with no way out .
Mel couldn’t sell the club and then we had Covid and no revenue 
It has been vindictive against him IMO .
Other clubs have piled in also.
The most significant thing for me is that the first hearing went in our favour.
Its all done now but going forward my love for football has somewhat gone .
I know this is a view that lots of Derby Fans won’t agree with but going forward I see nothing but more heartache ahead with player sales etc  
 
 
 

We still have a chance of winning silverware this year and while that’s still possible there’ll be people interested in taking us over. The kudos surrounding winning a trophy is what rich men really want and we still have a chance to bring that dream to them.
It’s still a few months away and Forest are on a good run right now but I think we can win it.

Personally I have reached the conclusion that it’s a mixture of mel Morris and the EFL to blame for how far this mess has descended,to the point of being on the brink of the club going out of existence, shame on both parties ,pride , stubbornness and disregard for the most important thing ,ie a club like Derby going out of business,
that said ,it’s time to move on ,hope we find a buyer wanting to and able to pick up the pieces and rebuild with a loyal fan base supporting them??‍♂️

We weren't under an embargo and we didn't have the Football League trying to kill our club.

FFP is an outdated concept now for the reasons stated. The yoyo of Norwich, Watford etc show this. The only true financial constraint would be to put a worldwide cap on transfer funds and wages, but that’s never going to happen. 
  
Either we make it no limit and if owners go crazy chasing the dollar then it’s a gamble clubs and fans have to accept or they keep with the FFP rules. Or some smart arse comes up with another plan but that’s out of my limits. 
  
Sad times. 

You should read their reports on political and social matters. Even more shocking.

As if to demonstrate the lack of understanding of which "rules" Derby have broken, we have this pile of nonsense from The Grauniad :
https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/nov/16/Derby-deducted-another-nine-points-for-breaches-of-efl-rules-over-pride-park-sale
What a dreadful excuse for journalism and editing.
 

Well what a read this has been. Ffs 
We not down yet, let's hope the player give all and do the impossible... and what a buzz knowing we beat the odds,  it will make last game of last season like a a tea party with the celebration..
If we go down , we will/hope have new owners innplace that will want to get us back up ASAP
I hope even the wrist slashes on here will turn out next season  with the loyal brigade and be part of the support that all other league 1 clubs will be envious 
OK the ground might not be ideal for some of you prawn sandwiches,  so for one season, try a soggy pukky pie, see a old ground, see how poor supported clubs survive . 
So what if we play thro the WC some Irish rams and scot rams won't be there anyways ? give them something to do while us welshrams ? and you English rams are away in Qatar 
Ffs put on some blind faith glasses and remember this is Derby COUNTY   not man United Liverpool mancity Chelsea etc if you believe we will be like this  You are deluded 
It's the Derby way,  the rollercoaster way. 
I have planned 5 games till new year all paid up, as part of my bit to support the team and the great eascape from here in paddy Land. 
So COYR. 
 
 

My thoughts exactly.  The likelihood is, yeah we're going down, but until there's a big red R next to our name, never, ever give up. 

When we were at Elland road for the playoff semifinal and the Leeds fans were singing “ we beat you at home we beat you away” and then they scored another goal  should we just have gone home with our tails between our legs. Well I’m glad we didn’t cos I would have missed one of the best nights of my life. Now is not the time to give up.

45 to survive. We need 48 points from 29 games. It's possible. Unlikely of course, but we can't just give up. COYR.

Glad to hear the BBC has continued its tradition of impartiality and accuracy.
So who has been trying to deduct points from us for the last two years and only succeeded in the end by blackmailing us when we are under threat of extinction? And they have done no wrong?
 

You go by my rules or I take the ball away .
 

It’s easy in retrospect to say this but Mel was a fan’s favorite for a long time and Derby had exciting times at Wembley.
All of a sudden to some the EFL are saints and Mel is a demon .
I don’t buy it. 
 
Please don’t forget Mel owns the ground .

“ And our next caller is from Bristol.........hold on, we’ve got a heavy breather on the line “.

Ed Dawes can do one as well. Won’t be listening to all the usual suspects talking mostly nonsense. 

I'm ho ding my own prot st by boycotting th    tt rs that  orm th ir nam   or th  r st o  th  s ason.

Never mind. When we get out of League One (and we will, however long it takes) it will be all the sweeter. I'd rather we had a club and it be in L1 than no club at all.
Pack out the away ends of every ground in the league next season, enjoy some new away days and take each game as it comes.
This is what real football is about.
