A points deduction would be very nice, and a fine to go with the Rooney megabucks deal!

"The Rams have leased back the ground, which was said to have been independently valued at £80m despite it being on the club's books as an asset worth £41m, from a company owned by Morris"
Cheating *****.
Was going to say it'd be nice to have their deduction while they were near the play offs.. but relegation will do
What a shame, it must be tough for them....and with all that snow to contend with.

Indeed and the irritating falseness of the Rooney story wanting to play back in the UK for Derby ,whilst wearing of the No 32 shirt number, only being a 'crafty' tie-in with club sponsor , I'm shocked football ignores the impact betting has on folk and its core support .
Steve Gibson Boro owner wasn’t happy that Derby seemed to be getting away with bending the financial rules and felt they should have had points deducted last season.
I don't think that the fact that the ground was in their books at £41m and then sold for for £80m is an issue. Many businesses have assets in their financial accounts at "under value" and there is nothing wrong with that.
The real issue is the valuation figure and on what basis this was undertaken. I think that "fair value" will be very difficult to disprove for beauty, as they say, is in the eye of the beholder. I may believe that something is worth £10 and someone else might say £15 and buy it for that.
I think that Derby will get away with this particularly as they kept the EFL informed at all stages of the process.
A 12 point deduction would leave them 23rd on 22 points
A 21 point deduction would leave them bottom of the league on 13 points and pretty much confirm relegation, not that I'd want that to happen...
FINALLY
Derby's failure to reach the Premier League despite spending a fortune then bending the rules, then putting the dodgy Rooney deal together, then sacking their long term injured captain while retaining the services of two players who were fit to play is one of the redeeming features of this season - I'd love to see them deducted points, but can't see it happening.
Derby might have got away with it, but the EFL is still after them for fiddling above and beyond the call of duty!

'Derby County say they will "vigorously resist" the English Football League's appeal against a decision to clear the Championship club of spending breaches.'
very well supported club considering its a small city
Far smaller than nearby Nottingham and Sheffield
I have a lot of time for Derby and some of the smaller clubs in that area like Chesterfield, Mansfield, Barnsley etc
As usual its Derbys loyal support that will get shafted after a big points deduction , if it happens
you are a troll , admit it
Derby County Football Club may be guilty of being naughty but instead of shoving those guilty in the clink , the team will be deducted points and probably be relegated
So it will be the fans who suffer
If Vincent tan was up to illegal activity do you think he should be punished or us lot by being relegated ?
I would want him to face the music myself
Not sure calling someone who challenges your continued verbiage about 'proper' and 'loyal' fanbases a troll is fair. It's hard not to challenge your posts, seeing as yours are taking up 99% of the board at the moment, and a lot of it is open to debate and some of it borders on the fanatic.
You are right, the owners should be punished, but that's not how things do or will ever work and you know it, so posting about how hard done by they will be is completely redundant. If they are that hardcore and impressive i'm sure they'll stick about, otherwise you can point and call them all part timers if they don't fancy watching Derby in league one or two.
I am absolutely against this suggestion. It's not fair for those lower in the alphabet. Why should fans be punished just because they live in a town beginning with W rather than B?
Maybe all clubs should be given an emoji instead of a name so that there isn't a way to put them in an order which might be upsetting.
