Bloody hell - that EFL love a controversy
Our punishment has nothing to do with FFP. We were placed into administration which comes with it an automatic 12 point deduction. That's been the rule for years and everyone knows it. The problem is that the EFL have yet to establish a clear punishment for breaches of FFP, which leads to situations like this.

An utter farce from the efl, they really aren’t fit to govern. How can Wycombe prepare for the season not knowing what standard of player to recruit - or what salary they can negotiate? As a club Derby is struggling and the owner is desperately trying to sell. How does this uncertainty help that, are they trying to force them into administration or something? There needs to be a cut off for when deductions are applied and they need to speed up these panels. They arranged ours in record time but everyone else’s cases they let drag on.
I don't think they've considered or care for any impact it may have on Wycombe. I assume most players that have stayed will have taken relegation pay cuts. They'll expect some kind of backdated pay from the club who have also likely planned their finances, ticket prices, negotiated sponsorship deals, sold and released players all based on being a league 1 club. They think they're punishing Derby, but uncertainty also shoves the knife deep in to Wycombe. They'll completely screw over 2 more clubs and rub their hands together on a job well done
They should be happy to join L1 it's got more ex premier league big clubs in it than the championshipIf I were Derby fan, I'd take the relegation and rebuild now, rather than waste a season in the Championship that will see them relegated anyway if they get a points deduction just like it did Sheff Wed. It'll simply put them in a far worse position a year from now.
SHOCK, HORROR!!!
Derby will play in the Championship next season after the English Football League decided not to appeal against a decision to just fine the club for their accounting policies.
The Rams were fined £100,000 and ordered to resubmit their accounts by an EFL disciplinary commission.
The EFL could have appealed against the verdict and demanded a points deduction - which would have brought relegation.
But the EFL believed it had no realistic chance of winning any appeal.
