This is after appeal I believe and the "punishment" will be handed down by the Independent Appeal Panel who themselves are awaiting some more outstanding info from Derby before letting EFL punish Derby. The EFL have said that they want to apply any punishment before the end of the payoffsWon't happen this season as Derby will appeal any punishment and EFL won't want anything causing next season to be delayed. I imagine it'll probably be a fine and a suspended points deduction.
I believe this was "on appeal" and the EFL are trying to get the punishment sorted for this season.
If I recall correctly, last season one panel deducted Wigan points immediately, while a different panel suspended Sheffield Wednesday's points until this season. Otherwise Sheffield Wednesday would have been relegated last season.Absolutely MUST be this season and if they bottle it then pressure should be applied to the EFL by fans of every other club. Wycombe deserve their place in the Championship & why should Sheffield Wednesday be punished and relegated this season and Derby not?
Next season.....My son is excited that Derby have been found guilty on appeal of breaching finance rules and a punishment will be announced 'shortly'.
I dont know the details but he says Sky sports has the story.....and points deductions are one option for sanctions....
Question is..... do we want a points deduction to apply 'this season' and save Wycombe OR next season and start them on minus points ?
What a great “ win-win “ for all Derby haters that would be.......The timing seems strange. Surely the appeal decision was made prior to the season ending. My view is deduct them 2 points this season to relegate them and deduct them 10 points for next season.
The case has been ongoing since 2020 and relates to 3 years of accounts from about 2015 - 2018.The timing seems strange. Surely the appeal decision was made prior to the season ending. My view is deduct them 2 points this season to relegate them and deduct them 10 points for next season.
Don't need any help from cheats. We'll survive on our own merits.Next season.....
It will make our survival job easier from the off..
Maybe they can borrow it from the big loan that the EFL have arranged. Then the rest of us can pay for it when they default.Derby have also been ordered to pay Richard Keogh £2.3m compo for unfair dismissal for the tree vrs car match....
Thats another £2.3m they havent got to not pay their players......
I think everyone felt it wrong that the guy 'not driving' and whose injuries ruled him out for a season was sacked, but the two drivers, who were still fit to play, were kept on.......even if only Tom Lawrence is still there.... justice I call this fine !!
Wigan’s deduction was automatic as soon as they went into administration, there was no case to be heard. Wednesdays was decided by an independent panel which involves legal representatio, exchange of evidence and right of appeal.If I recall correctly, last season one panel deducted Wigan points immediately, while a different panel suspended Sheffield Wednesday's points until this season. Otherwise Sheffield Wednesday would have been relegated last season.
It concerns their accounting policy on amortising players contracts. they assigned a residual value to players rather than writing them down to nil over the length of the contract as everyone else does, hence reducing their reported losses.The case has been ongoing since 2020 and relates to 3 years of accounts from about 2015 - 2018.
The delay was because of different cases brought by Middlesboro and the EFL which needed to be decided first.
Derby were then found 'not guilty' but the EFL appealled and an independent panel has found them guilty of 1 breach out of the 2 original charges.
I cant see how this is related to PNE? This is about justice and doing the right thing. Derby should have the same punishment as Sheffield Wednesday this season & pay the ultimate price. They have been skating on thin ice with dubious practices for some time nowNext season, without doubt. Far better for PNE. What’s the point in being vindictive when we can have a big advantage next season?
I think a substantial points deduction pretty much relegates Derby next season anyway so it’s one less team to worry about. And the 3 that went down this season to varying degrees all deserved to be relegated anyway.I cant see how this is related to PNE? This is about justice and doing the right thing.
