owner Steve Gibson’s claim for around £45m is still to be addressed.

They feel Derby’s financial irregularities helped deny them a play-off place in 2019 after the Rams pipped them to the top six by just one point.

Should recoup that easily when we sue QPR and Villa. Villa broke the rules in 2019 is he suing them ?

Did they vote on the creditors meeting? That’s three Brit asombalongas worth . Which makes zero.

"They feel Derby’s financial irregularities helped deny them a play-off place in 2019 after the Rams pipped them to the top six by just one point".

"Wycombe say they were relegated because a previous points penalty was not imposed and want around £6m".

1. This is coming from a Middlesbrough team that spent a combined £26.5m on Britt Assombalonga, Darren Randolph and Ashley Fletcher the season before?... Maybe they should invest their own money better?

2. Wycombe shouldn't have even been in the Championship in the first place.

I feel Messrs Gibson and Couhig should go and duck 'emselves ?

If he can prove it was our financial irregularities that prevented them getting to the playoffs; and if he can prove they would have won the semis; and if he can prove that they would have won the final, then he has a great case - otherwise it's notithing more than supposition and conjecture - be lucky to last 5 minutes in front of a competent judge....

"Middlesbrough and Wycombe have lodged compensation claims and peace talks are planned. Derby think they can win the cases, but it is uncertain.

Wycombe say they were relegated because a previous points penalty was not imposed and want around £6m.

Any takeover deal also needs an agreement with former owner Mel Morris to sell the stadium. He is looking for around £20m but that is also subject to negotiation.

Derby’s doom is a massive scar on the EFL’s flagship division.

For the third season running, a club is likely to go down because of penalties.

Wigan and Sheffield Wednesday both suffered the same fate when they had won enough points on the pitch.

Worse still, it makes a mockery of the final 29 games of Derby’s season."

 

 

That underlined bit in particular suggests (to me, at least) that these claims are aimed directly at Derby County Football Club, not The EFL?  Is that right?  Are they allowed?

Anyway, bring it on.  We'll be quids in, once QPR & Villa are brought into the equation.  KERCHING!

We haven't got £45 quid, good luck with that one.

Exactly. 
 

If their claim is against the club rather than the EFL then they have zero chance of recovering any of the money if they were to win.

As for Wycombe. As others have said, their claim is a joke as our irregularities occurred before they were even in the Championship. If they believe the penalties should have been applied last season then their claim should be against the EFL.

Can’t help but think this is all just newspaper nonsense.

It's probably true that both have lodged legal papers, but it's probably also true both don't really expect things to go very far.

Should be suing their mates on the EFL.

If they were to succeed then the floodgates for these types of cases would open and we’d have an open and shut case against QPR and Villa due to precedent!

 

The EFL have opened a right can of worms by emboldening that Gibson individual!

Wycombe's claim is fallacious anyway.

By their logic, Sheffield Wednesday should have had THEIR original points deduction of -9 applied at the end of the season in which it was determined - 2019/20 - that would have relegated SWFC instead of Charlton. Instead, the Tribunal decided that the purpose of the EFL's regulations was not to punish teams by relegating them without the hope of saving themselves. So they determined that it should be applied to the 20/21 season instead (it was then reduced to -6 points on appeal), which meant that Wycombe finished in 22nd place instead of 23rd. Thus, Derby's PD being applied last season would not have saved Wycombe anyway.

I hope Quantuma are all over this, because Couhig's claim is the biggest load of crud out there, except perhaps for Gibson's claim.

Still, at least it demonstrates to a few people that claims that other club owners want to put DCFC out of business are not fanciful or a symptom of "victim culture". They're not trying to punish Morris now, they're trying to punish US.

And even if he could do all these things he wouldn’t get any money anyway as we are broke.
