    I wonder if the American billionaire owner of Wycombe is considering his next move.
    Not afraid of litigation and has the funds to make some noise

    So realistically, you can bust the bank to get in the land of milk and honey and only lose 9 pts if you miss out with no fear of relegation as a consequence of -9pts............what sort of punishment is that? They'd laugh at you.

    ..........should be relegated for cheating.............

    Well done this time EFL, got there in the end i suppose.............................UTM.
    Ironically, Derby only stayed up last season because the Piggies had a points deduction. UTM

    Indeed, it's the fans that suffer, including those at other clubs where Derby antics have impacted on their club

    There is a difference. We have a chairman who spends within his and the club's means.

    Rotherham supporters would undoubtedly have been shocked if we played anything like £8m for a player. And plenty would be celebrating and talking about how 'we are finally showing ambition' and similar.

    Football supporters are football supporters. It doesn't matter which club, they always have unrealistic ambitions and expectations and berate owners who fail to meet them. There will doubtless be a bit of that on here come the January window.

    Nah we're use to that now, it's instilled in us not to moan or demand come the January window. Let's call it, a thing of Xmas past.

    If only that were so, Brin.

    Haven't you posted about how the club should have spent more to try to stay in the Championship.

    There’s a big difference though between gambling on success and deliberate cheating

    At a particular time yes and I was proven right, as we dropped out of the Championship by the slimmest margins. The end result being the club/Stewart lost £5.7 Million pounds in revenue by doing so. I suppose you want to say we'll never know if the gamble would have paid off, rightly so but so can I.

    What I do know is if you 'sometimes' fail to speculate you don't have a chance to accumulate or in our case, we got relegated.

    This ^^^^^ But thank you Tony Stewart. No one expected the outcome with the dithering EFL.

    Regarding Derby County buying Bielek, they are paying Arsenal in instalments for the player,
    with Arsenal allowing Derby County to defer payments until their problems are sorted.

    With Derby County legal team & administrators, the clubs owner Mel Morris told the administrators,
    he would personally pay for the legal team[s], with what it ever costs, to try to beat the EFL in
    their quest to punish the club.
