Malinga the Swinga Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I see Derby County are set to enter administration. If they do, they will receive 12 point penalty. Considering they avoided relegation by 1 point last season, and that their accounts for last season, and previous 2 are being investigated, then it will be interesting to see reaction of Sheffield Wednesday as they were penalised points last season while Derby, arguably guilty of worse offences, got off. They should have been relegated last season under Wayne Rooney. Can you see Wayne hanging around if they go down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraggle Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I read a wee bit about Derby at the beginning of the season to see why they were under a transfer embargo, and was shocked to see they hadn't submitted 2 - 3 seasons worth of accounts. Also seen things in the passing about a few take over deals falling through, but no idea why the current owner can't seem to sell the club? Is he a total dodgy bassa, asset stripping the club for all he can? Or is it just a simple sh1t show of incompetence from all and sundry that have seen Derby dropped right in the Merde?

Kiwidoug Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I admire Wayne Rooney as a player. His bicycle kick goal against Man City of all clubs will live long in the memory. Find him unlikeable however. Very sorry for the Derby supporters. As ever, they are the innocents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamboinglasgow Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 The finances and the way Championship clubs are run is shocking. Sadly these clubs throw so much at wages of players it means we can never get near the same players. You would think some other clubs will be on very shaky ground.

Malinga the Swinga Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 (edited) Derby now saying in last year, they have been losing between £1m and £1.5m per month. You can't survive on this. They should be demoted immediately and results wiped from records.

Doctor FinnBarr Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 22 minutes ago, sassenach said: It's tough times nowadays for Championship teams wanting to challenge. It was 25+ years ago, but I remember Bryan Robson going to Middlesbrough as player-manager and then as manager, much the same as Rooney has done at Derby. Robson's reputation and personality galvanised the club, and although it was a bumpy road he had them in the Premier League and reaching cup finals for a time. This was despite Robson eventually proving not be a very good manager. Of course, it helped that Robson was able to buy players such as Juninho, Barmby, Emerson and Ravanelli. With today's financial fair play rules there is no way that teams at that level can attract such players, so unfortunately it is inevitable that some clubs will try to get around the rules. Bora bought him? Sure Dundee got him for nowt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats my view as well. Championship clubs are like PSG, throwing a lot of money around which has messed with the level of player wages, meaning Scottish football cant compete. But unlike PSG who have the backing of an oil rich state, these clubs are being loaded with huge debts by owners desperate to get clubs into the Premier league so they can sell for big money. Problem is fans are calling for more spending. And as you say the fans of these clubs look down on the Scottish Premiership as trash, basically because we are not recklessly spending.
