Quite a few said yesterday to just move on, and at the time I more or less agreed.Originally Posted by Spearsy
However, more 'incriminating' evidence has apparently surfaced and Derby cannot be allowed to set a precedent.
The scenario exists that Derby would be favourites to win the rearranged fixture due to having a rejuvenated squad and massive home support, possibly stopping Cardiff gaining an automatic promotion spot and then failing to get through via the play-offs. This scenario will be a devastating blow given the value of playing in the PL.
Imagine Derby eventually playing Cardiff in the play-off final and winning it.
Had Cardiff played Derby yesterday they would have been favourites to win and move 10 points clear of Fulham & Villa - a virtually unassailable lead.
Ken Choo and Vince Alm will maintain the pressure on the EFL to make a just decision.
I hope that Derby are given a 10 point deduction so that they have virtually no chance of replacing any team who deserve their place in the play-offs.
