But seriously Derby lads, what do you all reckon about the possible punishment now, after whats happened to Sheff Wensdy.
It wasn't the sell and lease back they got done for but completing the sale in the 18/19 accounting year but putting the sale in the 17/18 accounts. We should be OK on that charge as, according to the club, the EFL were kept in the loop all the way, never complained, even suggested that the sale price be lowered slightly, which the club did.

With regard to the amortisation charge. I'm not so sure but, according to the club, the method dcfc uses was signed off on in the 15/16 accounts and again in the 16/17 accounts. Then, without any rule changes, without the EFL telling the club they would no longer accept the methodology, they decided it was wrong when used in the 17/18 accounts. Surely, the EFL can't go moving the goalposts and not tell anyone about it, can they? Having said that, they are the EFL so, in the best possible Stingray style.......... anything can happen in the next however long it takes for the verdict to be handed down.
