Yani P Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) Wycombe Wanderers owner Rob Couhig is considering taking legal action against the club's relegation to League One after Derby announced they are due to go into administration. It comes after Derby owner Mel Morris' admission the club would have been at risk of a points deduction if it had submitted accounts for 2017-18 without using the club's controversial amortisation method. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/58604851 Edited September 20, 2021 by Yani P Colm, taffyram, Andicis and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosshogg Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Just read this. No chance. Not sure why the BBC even bothered with it other than another scare mongering tactic. I mean it’s been a rough week hasn’t it but this is laughable. Rammy03 and taffyram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yani P Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 "Not being in the Championship this year has cost us, on the surface, around £10m," Couhig told BBC Sport. "It has probably cost another £5-10m in residual monies that would have come from us being in the Championship for a second year. It is a £15-20m loss. "I am not just chairman and chief executive [at Wycombe], one of my obligations is to the 25% of my shareholders, which is a Trust made up of almost 1,000 of our fans. How do I explain to them that we have lost, in effect, £20m without looking at all the options? I don't know if there is a viable claim or not but there is no question we will look," he added without saying who any claim would be against.

Andicis Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 They weren't even in the league when we did anything wrong and they shouldn't even have got promoted the way they did.

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Yeah alright then. Were going to sue Derby for not going into admin at a time of our choosing. Load of old tosh. Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yani P Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 They were just dead lucky to get promoted in the first place - promoted just for having a game in hand lol not even top 7 at the time with the worst goal difference in the top half lol Rammy03 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AutoWindscreens Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 He might have this bit right, unfortunately: "People say they will put it into administration and somebody will come in and buy it because it is Derby. But how many points will Derby be faced with being deducted this year? More saliently, they are going to be faced with further deductions next year. "In likelihood you would be buying a League Two team with an accumulated £50m debt. There are only so many people in the world who are out there and willing to do that." i-Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombo Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Famously, the basis of every robust legal challenge begins with the accuser stating "I don't know if there is a viable claim".

Raich Carter Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Tell you what, let then crack on and we'll the do the same against QPR (or the EFL) for considerably more $ as they went into the Prem after demonstrably breaking the rules (i.e. they were fined). And if you look back at it, I'm sure there are lots of other similar cases so let them go for it, if they win then there's no reason why we can't do the same and get, what, £150m back? Problem solved. PS Obviously none of this will happen. 48 hours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be but why is he even commenting on if Derby get another points deduction next year, what league we'll be in and how much debt we'll have? Another chairman of another club obsessed with Derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
