Derby County IMPORTANT NEWS

[Nardendee]

Courtesy of EFL communications at 23.31 Wednesday 23rd June 2021:

An independent Disciplinary Commission has delivered its verdict on sanctions for Derby County relating to ongoing disciplinary proceedings.

In May, an Independent League Arbitration Panel ruled that the Disciplinary Commission was wrong to dismiss the League’s expert accountancy evidence, which demonstrated that the Club’s policy regarding the amortisation of player registrations was contrary to standard accounting rules.

More specifically, the panel determined that the Club’s policy was not in accordance with accounting standard FRS102 because it failed to accurately reflect the manner in which the Club takes the benefit of player registrations over the lifetime of a player’s contract.

Tonight, the Disciplinary Commission has announced that the sanction to be imposed in respect of those breaches, is a financial penalty of £100,000 to be paid to the EFL and a reprimand for the Club as to its future conduct regarding the preparation of its Annual Accounts.

In addition, the Club has also been ordered to file restated accounts for financial years ending 30 June 2016, 2017 and 2018 that meet the requirements of FRS102, together with updated Profit & Sustainability calculations if necessary.

Both Derby County and the EFL have the right to appeal that sanction decision.

That being the case, ahead of the publication of the 2021/22 season fixture lists on 24 June at 9am, the EFL can confirm that it has developed an interchangeable fixture list for Derby County and Wycombe Wanderers, while the disciplinary process is finalised.

The fixture list for both the Championship and League One will be published in full based on the 2020/21 final standings, pending any appeals relating to this decision.

So essentially, in the end Middlesbrough's capitulation at home to Wycombe on the last day of the season could be what sent us down and not Marlon Pack's 88th minute goal. No statue of Uncle Neil at NYS then?

So if I have understood it right,they haven’t got a points penalty at the minute,but could have one if the EFL appeal it or the additional accounts aren’t submitted or correct…?.

To be honest although I am sure Wycombe would take it if it happens…but how long will it take to sort out and then there”s planning players and contracts just in case either way.it leaves them in a bit of limbo…

A minor slap on the wrist with a plan for the legal people to earn more money as the fiasco grinds on.

It’s all been played out like this so the season is all but ready for kicking off and Derby will retain championship status but probably on a - 6 point deduction. All very well played out for Derby and Wycombe miss out on millions.

...meanwhile at S6

It all needs snorting out....

[avondalemiller]

...... did anyone think anything different other than a whitewash for the "big club".......?

Derby are a basket case and trying to "do" anything to cover up their financial mess. So how long have they got to publish their Accounts for the last 3 years???

Meanwhile at S6 the wait continues............. unchallenged by the EFL........... get the whitewash ready....

No concern of us. Warney couldn't even get us to finish 3rd from bottom but these sites still think he's the man to take us forward. Not me! Barnsley job available like to see if Warney can keep them up!
