    ... and could well be relegated.

    This is no longer a 'slap on the wrist' situation and it looks to me like Wycombe will fluke another season in the Championship. Derby have cheated so deserve to drop down and I expect that they'll also cop a transfer embargo.

    I remember how people were saying 'How come the Derby takeover was sorted so quickly while Sunderland are dragging their heels?' ...

    ... as I've said before we've had a massive escape and avoided being owned by idiots.

    https://www.efl.com/news/2021/june/-derby-county/

    "That being the case, ahead of the publication of the 2021/22 season fixture lists on 24th June at 9am, the EFL can confirm that it has developed an interchangeable fixture list for Derby County and Wycombe Wanderers, while the disciplinary process is finalised."

    Certainly looks that way. Too many irregularities for th EFL to look the other way.

    I can see the book being thrown at them

    Personally I’d like to see them relegated just because it’s not far from my house if I wanted to go to the away game.

    There are some double standards going on in football, but this doesn't surprise me at all. Derby, Sheff Wed, QPR have all fallen foul of this financial fair play rule...yet Man City who clearly did......Zero, nada, zilch nothing. It must be easy for officials to go after smaller clubs, but try going up against a powerful club with money to burn on top end barristers... they back off like a bunch of pussies.

    I want Wycombe to go down. They deserve their karma for being snide .

    To be fair, we would have done exactly the same thing had Parkinson not bottled those last 4 games before covid hit

    **** me, imagine us in the Championship with Parkinson and Donald at the helm :emoticon-0119-puke:

    I doubt we’d be in a “looking to get out of relegation because of Derby’s cheating”! We’d be lucky to be as high as 24th!!

    Just like Frankenstein they've created an uncontrollable monster with incredible strength ....

    It’s deeply disturbing mate. When the “big six” announced that they were joining the European Super League we were told that they shouldn’t be docked points as punishment because their plastic fans would suffer when it wasn’t their fault. However for some reason the likes of Wigan are seen as fair game to the authorities. It’s disgusting.

    The thought of Phil ****ing Parkinson anywhere near SAFC makes me want to vomit, never mind in the championship under him. :headbang: Vile man, vile manager.

    Speaking of Derby, Waghorns contract has just expired.
    Sign him up Johnson please

    we don't want them in the same league as us, it will be tough enough but if they get a transfer embargo i would like Waghorn back, and Wycombe might get lucky again !
