The middleborough claim is based entirely on an estimate of the lost revenue by Gibson and his band of merry men. He seems to have missed the fact that against that revenue there would be considerable increase in cost relating to playing in and competing with other teams in the premier league. The latest table I can find is for 18/19. 11 teams lost money and this was pre covid. The teams comparable to boro Watford profit £10m Burnley £5m palace £3m. Brighton lost£19m sheff utd lost £21m Bournemouth lost £32m Norwich lost £39m. So if this claim is about money you have to take net benefit in to account and the net benefit is probably £0 or even a loss.

Here’s a solution.
Derby county football club limited accept that under the previous owners directors and in agreement with the previous auditors they applied an amortisation policy that whilst being in a format acceptable to accounting standards was outside of the understanding of the EFL and teams there in. Quantum accept that this was a moral misjudgement and deferred potential write downs on players to later in the term of their contracts however the net financial benefit to the club was £0 and this was a matter of interpretation of the timing rules relating to player registrations.
Derby acknowledge the claim from Middlesbrough but can see no merit in this being pursued by either party through the courts as this would only benefit the legal teams and neither of the football clubs or any other members of the EFL come out of this with any benefit. It could create a dangerous precedent for the EFL and would lead to claims being instigated concerning matters that are not necessarily related to teams competing on the football pitch.
The net benefit to Middlesbrough of being in the premier league for season 19/20 cannot be quantified but it is unlikely the club would have been profitable and therefore again the merit of the claim should be dismissed.
To ensure closure of this matter and allow the championship to continue with a full complement of teams for the 21/22 season Derby county are willing to offer a compromise.
Derby will support Middlesbrough community trust in the sum of £100,000 per annum for the next 4 years. They will also ensure that the Derby County Community Trust and Middlesbrough Trust work together to ensure that the benefits arising from these excellent community organisations can be maximised for the benefit of all the people involved and the users of these trusts.

Admin if this is not acceptable please delete.
 
I have three large boxes full of old programmes going back to the sixties I would like to give away . Ideally a young person who's just started collecting . They are all relating to DCFC and contain many from the eighties nineties 00's and 10's.
I don't want any cash for them but if someone wants to make a donation I have a charity that is close to my heart.
I would be able to meet on match day generally to swap into someone's boot. They are heavy boxes.
 
I think there are 2-300 ish.
Please dm me if interested.
 
Thanks
