Ramarena Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 41 minutes ago, Coconut said: Ignoring 'poppa pumps his own because nobody else will', I had to laugh at this one Literally the opposite of what happened. There was no exam until someone outside of the process called foul, besides even if there were any questions they were written in invisible ink. We wrote down some answers, they poured some lemon juice on the invisible ink and then decreed that our answers were wrong and tried to punish us for writing whatever it was we wrote, and demanded that we state in great depth why we answered the questions (which we couldn't predict) in the way that we chose to. They weren't asked to explain in anywhere near the same detail why they wrote the rules in invisible ink in the first place. One set of adjudicators decided that we had no real case to answer and that if rules were supposed to be followed, they should have been written down. The examination board reviewed it and claimed that we should have been able to assume the correct answers based on the subject of the quiz, On a second hearing the first set of adjudicators better explained their position, so the examination board weren't called into action. Whoever wrote that is a right numpty. False equivalence writ large! LeedsCityRam and NottsRam77 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I just went back in time and wanted to see how our spending stood up against other teams in the league. Surprisingly, in three of our last four posted accounts, the wage bill of Derby County was HALF of the team spending the most in the league. We have only ever been in the top 6 spending clubs in the division once - 15/16. Not bad for a club RUINING football with their reckless overspending, eh? 2014-15: Wage Bill - £21.8m - 33.5% of the wage bill of the highest spending team in the Championship 2015-16: Wage Bill - £32m - 78.04% of the wage bill of the highest spending team in the Championship (most competitive year, 5th highest in the league). 2016-17: Wage Bill - £34.6m - 30.83% of the wage bill of the highest spending team in the Championship 2017-18: Wage Bill - £40.5m - 42.63% of the wage bill of the highest spending team in the Championship Ken Tram, GB SPORTS, The Scarlet Pimpernel and 10 others 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And are any of those same clubs now still in the Championship? Or were promoted to the Premiership after this time and may have subsequently been relegated again?

Truckle Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 In 2014 I watched an exciting team, with a wage bill of £14.5m lose to QPR in the playoff final. They had a wage bill of £75million. Next year it was Hull in the play-offs, with their parachute payments from the previous year, wage bill 30m. Then a year off before having another go, losing to Fulham in 2018, wage bill £54m. And then 2019 a loss to Villa, wage bill £65m. There we have it; 2 playoffs semis, two finals, four loses, twice to teams that didn’t just break FFP but stamped on it, took it outside shot it from a cannon and then reversed over it with a steam roller.

I don't see you point are you saying that if we had spent as much as the teams you mention then we would have been promoted? Can I just throw out there Johnson, Anya, Butterfield, Blackman, Waghorn..... NottsRam77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't buy the narrative of being victims either. We have had an advantage over most of the other teams in the division but have contrived to pish that advantage up the wall.

REGRETTABLY they can't relegate us. Until last night, I wasn't so sure but that statement, blimey. They are supposed to be administrators that follow a set of rules not ones who should 'remain disappointed' or that they 'do not agree that those sanctions are commensurate to the breaches found'. Your rules FFS. The paragraph below though is the cherry on the icing on the cake, talk about sharpening their knives, it simply did not need to be said. It's bitter and vindictive. 'Once these have been submitted, the EFL will then be required to consider the submissions in reference to the P&S rules and in particular re-assess whether the Club has complied with the requirement to limit losses in accordance with those rules' Ramarena, G STAR RAM, 1967Ram and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
