Has we know Derby County was deducted 12 points in September 2021 for going
into administration, also deducted 9 points for breaching financial rules.
Reading were deducted 6 points, & given a suspended 6 point deduction for breaching
financial rules.
Derby County have had claims against them from Middlesbrough & Wycombe Wanderers,
with the Middlesbrough claim said to have been sorted.
But now, Derby County could look to have a claim themselves against Reading, Derby
County are believed to be preparing to launch a legal battle of their own, if Reading
escape relegation, & Derby County are relegated, in which Derby County will use the
argument, that they were punished more severely than Reading in terms of points
sanction, with Reading getting 6 point deduction, against Derby County's 9 point
deduction.
Bottom 4 teams in the championship.
Position ----- Team ----------- G/D --- Pts - Played
. 21st ........ Reading ........... -24 .... 22 .... 30 games
. 22nd .. Peterborough Utd ... -37 . .. 20 .... 29 games
. 23rd .... Derby County ... .... -3 .. .. 18 .... 31 games
. 24th ....... Barnsley ........... -26 .... 17 .... 30 games
Summary - It would seem that Lawyers & claims have set a president in football.
This action would seem to be Derby County having a swipe back at the EFL.
