Stranded Derby's appeal against the 12 points has been delayed - it may even be abandoned entirely. Suggests that they either have a deal with the EFL over points or new owners have decided to just get the slate clean and start fresh in L1.

It seems to me they will abandon the appeal if they can negotiate a small FFP points deduction.
I was looking at Sheff Weds losses leading to their FFP penalty. They lost about £77 million over a three year period. How much did we lose?

Mr Angry There are 2 elements to the FFP penalties; the first is to punish a club that over spends well above its means to achieve success - in effect, to punish financial doping.
The second is as a deterent for other clubs to try to do the same.
If Derby only get a 3 point deduction for their breaking of the FFP rules, then a number of clubs will think the risk of over spending to achieve promotion to the wealth of the Premier League is a risk worth taking if the punishment is "only" 3 points.
Frankly, the current system is a total mess; it sets a punishment of 9 points for breaking the rules, but then allows for all sorts of mitigation for clubs to try to avoid getting hit with the penalties.
Here is an idea; make the punishment a MINIMUM 9 points, with additional points deducted for levels of overspending, trying to hide funds, not co-operating etc etc. If the club found guilty has a mitigating reason, then fine - they only get hit with the 9 points.

Stranded John Percey now reporting that Derby have "reluctantly accepted" a 9 plus 3 penalty, to be announced shortly.
Imagine we will get the same.

paultheroyal Looking at their forum they have now pretty much accepted their fate. Conversation turns into League 1 being exciting, new teams to play, winning matches steamrolling the league, doing a Norwich, Sheffield United, 3pm kick offs and EFL trophy. How times change.

Wasn't that the attitude when they first dropped into the Championship? Anyone for a rendition of "you're only here for the champions?"

tidus_mi2 They are in for a shock.
The bigger more established teams always seem to struggle to get out of League One, they usually do but I don't feel many do it at the first time of asking.
The teams that always seem to bounce back from League One quite quickly are your Peterboroughs, Barnsleys and Rotherhams.

Absolutely delighted if they fall down the leagues, the one club i absolutely despise, be very sweet this year, if we stay up!
