relegation or survival, he'll be sacked in the close season ;.. sad that a grand old club, a F L founder has been allowed by owners, managers and players to get into such a state .. and yes I know this is not the first example and certainly won't be the last
Derby Swansea (A), Swansea in the playoffs just depends what position they finish in, probably go into them on a winning run? Sheffield Wednesday (H) Shit or bust game maybe?
Rotherham Brentford (A) see Swansea above. Blackburn (H) Blackburn safe in midtable. Luton (A) Luton safe in midtable. Cardiff (A) Cardiff missed the playoffs.
Sheffield Wednesday aka The Massives Nottingham Forest (H) Forest safe. Derby (A) Hopefully Rotherham have got their finger out and other results mean they both go down regardless of the result.
They have already sold the ground, to another company of the current owner.
Hmm, is that so. Let's see ...
That company sells the ground back to the club for the price of a multi-pack of pickled onion Monster Munch ...
The club gets the ground re-valued (independently, of course) at £120m (claiming land value etc has increased since last time) ...
The club then sells the ground to a different company (pure coincidence that it's also a related party) for £150m (seeing as they got away with selling at way above the fair value disclosed in the stats last time, why not do it again?).

Maybe the EFL would do that but I doubt HMRC, missing out on Stamp Duty on the sale into the club due to a sale at undervalue would turn a blind eye!
I suspect he has already submitted the one for her operation last week and also another one for her design skills for the boardroom at Derby. £80k for a couple of coats of magnolia should do it
Shame to see a famous old club in such a state but if they do go down, would love to look every one of those wankers who took the piss out of us on the pitch after the last game of the season when we we were relegated to the 3rd div and ask how they feel.
Well at least one of Derby/Wednesday are guaranteed to go down which pleases me but makes it a bit tougher to get promotion next season if we don’t go up this one.
Just looking at their run out, last game is Derby v Sheffield Wednesday
The game of death ?
Ideal scenario on the last day would be both teams needing a win to have a chance of staying up, with a draw taking both down. 0-0 with 5 minutes to go would make for desperately brilliant football.

I imagine it will be about the same punishment as for a speeding ticket. 3 points & a £100 fine. Or take a speed awereness course (in the football context - read the rule book) and told to be more careful next time.
If the "Independent" panel are consistent then they will side with Derby - 12 point deduction which will take place next season (same as SW last season). Wycombe's appeal wont win either.
Derby County are set to find out that they have lost a battle with the English Football League over the Championship club's accounting policies.
The Rams were cleared of breaching Financial Fair Play rules last year.
However, the EFL appealed against the decision to an independent tribunal and it is understood to have won its case, which centres around how new signings are accounted for.

Wayne Rooneys Derby County may still be relegated.
Shame as I'd love Wycombe to stay up instead.
But Derby, and Wednesday, aren't Macclesfield so they are OK
-12 points should apply. Appeal would be pointless - ged it? 😬
