Good news for us, let's get those relegation spots filled....
Derby County's administrators are set to reluctantly accept a heavy points deduction which will all but relegate the club to League One.
After weeks of talks with the Football League, Derby are close to agreeing another deduction of 9 points, plus a further suspended three points, for historical financial breaches under former owner Mel Morris.
This latest punishment will take their total penalty points to -21, which will put Derby on minus three points and leave them marooned at the bottom of the table with relegation from the Championship appearing inevitable.
Final negotiations are being held over the proposed business plan, which includes restrictions on spending, transfer and losses, and once that is agreed an official announcement will follow.
Derby's administrators, Quantuma, and the EFL declined to comment, though the EFL said matters were ongoing.
