Just taking me Ram specs off for a moment, I can see the technical merit in Wycombe's claim, and if I was the buyer, I would look to settle that claim. Listening to the Wycombe boss on the interview last night, it's the standard "poor little us" cry that doesn't wash, but, it does seem that there is a case and I think it would be better to settle that one and move on.
Ram specs back on, "suck it up, buttercup" is how I feel about it. It only would've taken a couple of victories in that last 10 or so games of abject failure, to avoid this situation n the 1st place. But that's, "ifs, buts and maybes".
The Boro claim however, that's not based on any substantial technicality other than Boro feeling hard done by. There's no proof that the money we spent is directly or indirectly responsible for Boro's failure to reach a playoff position. We could've spent less money, and finished better or worse, we could've spent more money, and finished better or worse. This is where the EFL should step in and say that they have dealt with the matter, pressurise Boro to drop their ridiculous witch hunt, and support the member in genuine hardship.
