Bit like Spygate last year, hey Rev?
They decided that the spying broke the new protocols agreed on before the start of last season.
This year the EFL has decided to charge Derby despite DCFC having all the correspondence where the EFL gave the green light on both the stadium sale and the manner in which player amortisation was done. The EFL now says they made a mistake and it is because of Derby doing things in a way the EFL sanctioned that they stayed within FFP. There is a growing thought that the EFL has taken this action because of the Boro Court case. Boro are after something like £100M from them. If they find DCFC guilty and fine them a couple of million and deduct 12 points, Boro's case is greatly weakened. That is quite possibly the answer to your question as to why they might charge Derby despite them only having done what the EFL said they could. It's like if you were walking down the street and you saw a policeman being attacked by 4 ManU fans, you ask the copper if he needs any assistance, he says yes, you chin 3 of them and the copper takes the 4th one out, he then proceeds to charge you with assault....... Not exactly the same circumstances but you get my drift.
IMO - If Derby get found not guilty........
1. Boro go ahead with their £100M claim.
2. DCFC also starts proceedings against the EFL for an awful lot of money
3. Sheff Wed and Villa too
4. ...... anybody I've missed out?
Who knows, knowing the EFL history with Leeds, they are bound to find a way to implicate you as well
We may well be seeing the beginning of the end of the EFL and the dawn of Premier League 2, 3 and 4 and possibly further down the footballing pyramid as well and I don't think Leeds fans would shed any tears at that thought.
