The irony in them begging for tighter punishments will not be lost on me when this all comes to a head. Yeh but they have an owner who's more than happy to bribe officials so they should be fine Ours picks fights with officials instead (and wins...

May Contain Nuts Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Realistically what is there to gain from suing the EFL? You're not going to get anything really meaningful in return for the effort, a small financial remuneration or compensation at best (which you'll never see most of anyway) which may actually take money away from the pockets of those further down the pyramid? It's not like you're going to be awarded extra points, immunity from relegation or the league rejigged to to award you a guaranteed play-off final spot or any other wacky idea.

Neither do I think it's Mel's style. He'll just "smoke the cigar" for now and then behave with the utmost dignity and move on. There's no point in us taking this further and Derby County can hold its head up high. Immaculate conduct by the Club from the word go. Mel said the charges were "unlawful" from the very first day and he's been proved right. Class performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you're saying about taking money from those lower down, but maybe EFL should have thought about that before trying to fight such a stupid battle in the first place? If it's ok for Gibson and the likes to spout off about taking legal action against the EFL, and openly accusing us of cheating (which the EFL continually let them get away with) when we didn't actually do anything wrong then it sure as heck is ok for us to take legal action against them after what they've actually done to us. They've dragged our name through the mud for months, delayed our potential investment deal at a time when clubs have no real income and had us under an embargo for absolutely no reason. I'd also be taking legal action against anyone who has accused us of wrongdoing, it would be a nice little earner given how many have, and they certainly wouldn't be doing it again in a hurry.
