Mel's played a blinder and the it's the EFL whose conduct should be called into question. Likewise your inference that our accounting processes are somehow, 'immoral'. Care to justify that statement? The club has been completely transparent in terms of its accounting processes, all of which appear to have been signed off by the EFL. Mel also offered to open his books to Gibson who declined and instead ran to the EFL to try and coerce them into applying some form of retrospective sanctions on a club that did nothing wrong other than deny his shambolic outfit a play-off slot. If anyone has acted poorly, it's Gibson and the EFL. Yup, good precis for me. Tell y'all what, it's going to be interesting - Mel has been brewing on this topic for a while and I would be very surprised if he hasn't been doing a bit of bedtime reading well before yesterday. Personally, I don't think I've ever been prouder to be a Derby fan than when I saw the statement from the club - basically saying that we did all that was asked of us and we're not now going to abide by some trumped up post-factum charge just because we're cleverer than they are and found ways around the rules they set. This one could get very interesting indeed..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now As I’ve said before I fundamentally disagree with the existence of FFP and the “spirit of its rules”. Fair do's buddy but when the likes of Leeds moan about what is and is not within the “spirit of the rules” I usually require a change of underwear.

KBB Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 7 minutes ago, RamNut said: Could there be further issues to come with regards to Rooney? by declaring Rooney as a player coach are Derby intending to get half of his wages excluded from ffp calcs and exploit another loophole? Will rooney’s actual role - and the possible ffp implications - yet also come under future scrutiny . Has he actually done his badges? Hasn't it already been stated multiple times that his wages are not simply 50/50? I thought I saw somewhere this was explained as early "thoughts" or rather fans jokes seemed to think it would be 50p for players and the other many thousands as a coach. This was rubbished early on I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was rubbished early on I believe. It’s a misreading of the EFL rules. The 50/50 thing only applies to league 1 and 2, where clubs are limited to a 70% wages to turnover ratio and what percentage of wages ‘count’ is a thing. It’s irrelevant to us in the championship. whether it might apply to us next season is unclear at this stage ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abu Derby Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Yes, this is all down to Boro and Gibson chucking his dummy out. It’s no coincidence that this charge comes in the week after we played them - prevented a possible punch-up and set-to in their boardroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully you’re all right. They’ll be scrutinising everything from here on. Feels like when we got kicked out of Europe for “accounting irregularities “ or whatever they called it.

The likes of talksport should be pushing them for an interview to answer the points raised, in fact radio Derby should be doing the same.......
