At least our financial meltdown was preceded by a decade of memories in the Premier League. Derby just had a few playoff attempts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted January 18, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted January 18, 2022 The history behind Wycombe's claim is widely known but regarding Middlesborough having a claim, I haven't looked at last season's results and league tables but is it possible they'd have been promoted automatically had Derby's record been expunged? Just a stab in the dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, plus they put that down to their financial dishonesty. Gibson is claiming losses equivilant to the value of promotion, Premiership income & funds and potential parachute money even if things went wrong. £46m !!! Pushing his luck maybe, and rather assuming they'd have won the play-offs, but it's big money (& why it matters so much). https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/49687098 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Feelgood Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I agree with "fck Derby" but keep being wrankled by them being serial offenders on their finances. This is the 3rd time they've gone into Administration & they just bounce back. Big club, lots of fans, good history (financials apart), ordinary town. I wish them no ill ... but they need to finance themselves properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyhow it’s another away defeat next season if they don’t go bust as our record their is terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everton should be getting him in sharpish instead of chasing Roberto and his dream team. Bloke can't win anything with De Bruyne, Hazard Lukaku etc and already sacked once by Everton? Get the granny shagger in one thing he will give it his all should be entertaining to say least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Horwich Posted January 18, 2022 Moderators Share Posted January 18, 2022 Derby have paid and are still paying massive wages to players. They shouldn’t go down, even with a deduction. They deserve to go bust. Rooney will get a decent job, because he has done a “great” job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good fan base, I'd sooner have them than your tinpot Fleetwoods and Accringtons... and Bournemouth. I was looking for the words to describe my attitude to this and you summed it up nicely. Derby add to the attraction of the EFL for me, many of the other clubs detract from it, but of course they have to be punished. Just hope they survive because the fans don't deserve to lose their club, we know how helpless we all feel when its our club that has broke the rules through no fault of our's.

Dimron Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Local News (I live East of the Pennines) speculating liquidation at the end of the month. Shedding experienced players and transfer embargo kicking in. Someone said Boris Johnson should step in and save a midlands club part of his "levelling up" promise, bollocks. Perhaps they should level up Pride Park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted January 18, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted January 18, 2022 Don't agree with this Derby should be here or there becasue they are big and not Fleetwood etc. Might ad well just pack it all in now, hand the title to Utd because they're the biggest. Clubs are where they are on merit. Size doesn't matter. Obviously a caveat over rich folk dabbling with clubs, but ffp has been introduced to stop this.
