And Waggy bound to score.

Whatever our points deduction ends up being we need to be winning games like this one and against Swans.
Well done to Rams for competing with both hands and both legs tied behind the back though.
 
 

Efl’s problems are not really comparable with Parliament v Supreme Court.
More like the GMC looking after the interest of Doctors, and supposedly regulating them  at the same time. So Dr shipman gets under the radar.
Efl being a regulator and also acting in the interests of Gibson and all the rival clubs just does not work. Especially when they are also supposed to be acting in the interests of Derby … as a founder member! 
 
in such a hopelessly conflicted position . Efl should be bending over backwards not only  to be independent but also to be seen to be independent .
yet almost every action they do screams they are not independent . Saying they are “shocked” that Derby has appealed against the 12 point deduction is not the words of  an independent body .
 
Efl is just not fit for purpose … I hope their last act is not to kill off the Rams in an act of spite.

The weird thing is the reason it has taken so long is that the issues are so marginal.
Birmingham’s breach was just blatant, Sheffield wednesday’s only marginally less so once it was realised the stadium sale had been backdated. 
 
the amortisation thing was much more marginal and subjective  (at best) which is why it dragged on so long. 
 
far from that being our fault, the fact that efl’s case against us was less clear cut is what made it drag out so long. 
 
same with the COVID issue that I think is a very balanced argument and could go either way.

One of the better ones. Which doesn’t say a lot to be fair.

It shows the Efl trying to max out on penalties … trying to relegate wendies if they possibly could. So no it doesn’t show they have it in for us at all.
but it shows the fundamental conflicted issue  Efl has .. being regulator of clubs as well as acting for the interests of the clubs .
 
it is supposed to act for the interests of all clubs , including us and Sheffield Wednesday by the way. But plainly isn’t .. it just panders to the mob rule and tries to max out on penalties every time.

Wigan's administration took 18 months before a sale was agreed. Our sounds much more encouraging. The debts are scary though, it's true.  

I wish other clubs would look at our spend as they think we have been tanking it for years which is not true. I think our debt is probably no bigger than others in the Championship and significantly smaller than some (Reading, Stoke etc). They are angry that we sold the stadium for more than a lot of them did and don't understand the amortisation thinking we had been residual values at the end which is not true it was always 0. they think that our overspend/debt is bigger than every ones which is not true.  
Mel gambled and in football terms is not a rich man, I think that in the end he could see his fortune dwindling away. Of course a lot of that would not be accessible.
A lot of misinformation out there.  It is taking the focus from others that should have larger FFP problems. For instance Stoke's Covid write off is ridicules and  haven't Fulham deferred the payment on Wilson so they don't pay anything this year.    
 

As the others have corrected you on, that was an £8m profit.
Accounts, however, have Ince in 16/17 and Weimann in 17/18. You also forgot about Lawrence in, Christie and Russell out.

And the IDC was having none of that..and decided to "postpone its effect until next season when the onus will be on the club to redeem its position on the playing field".
 
Yet EFL were stil trying to relegate us retrospectively in 2020/21. Do they never learn?
