    This is Derby County, a major club owned by a CBE

    If a buyer comes to the recue, they could, potentially, avoid going into Administration

    Nothing would surprise me

    It won't stop the deduction of the 9 points whatever happens though. The cause of that is nothing to do with Admin so they are separate and no doubt will be treated as such. Fact remains that they should have had a deduction last season not this season. You can't go back now so yes they got away with it for a season. Is it fair? Of course it isn't. For them to be let off somebody else had to fill the gap. It was you and no matter what else is said that won't change and the fairness won't go away.

    Hmmmm

    I'm sure there could well be a claim against you guys, then? You voted to finish the season early the year you were promoted because of 'concerns around Covid'. You were 8th and a team were kicked out of their play-off position for you. That's why you voted to finish the season.

    Wycombe didn't then seem bothered by Covid anymore by playing in the play-off games.

    There's nothing like wanting to have your cake and eat it. I would just keep my head down if I was you guys.

    We were 8th as we had a game in hand on the teams above us and the play offs were a walk in the park I would have liked to to have put the season on hold until crowds could be back but that vote wasn't on the table so we had to play a season in the Championship without crowds really football without crowds isn't football it's called TV

    It is. I've been jealous of Wycombe Wanderers all my life.

    Is it sour grapes with you guys banging on about Derby?

    Officialy gone into administation today and docked 12 points so are bottom on -2. By the sound of things they could be hammered by more points deductions because of their dodgy accounts over 4 years, i have no sympathy at all the cheating b*stards!! <grr>

    No sympathy for the club owners/management, but plenty for the fans, staff and players who stuck with the club. We all know what that is like

    The other question that noboby seems to be asking how come Sheff Wed got docked points that effectively relegated them & not Derby

    Because Wednesday didn't have Rooney as manager i imagine and The EFL wanted Derby to stay in The Championship and not little old Wycombe.

    Saff, for Wycombe delete and insert Sunderland. If the boot had been on your clubs foot then you would have done exactly the same as Wycombe did. You wouldn't be banging on about fairness now or even at the time. I would go so far as to say all clubs would have taken the opportunity if presented and it is pure hypocrisy for any supporters to shout otherwise. In reality was it fair well it was the system voted on and used so it doesn't matter does it. There are plenty of things in football that aren't fair like parachute payments for example but you don't see the receiving club refusing them do you. Neither do you see supporters of receiving clubs thinking they are unfair despite the financial advantage they give.

    1) No, I wouldn't. That's just your opinion. Can you prove otherwise?

    2) Yes, I would. Do you speak for everybody that you don't know? Again, Can you prove what you're saying?

    3) How can it be hypocrisy when nobody else has been in that position before? A bit silly using that word.

    Because as Greeny said on another post Home team is time wasting according to the away supporters if they are losing 1-0, home team suppoerters it's good game management to see out the victory, & sorry Saff if you are not biased towards your own team whoever it is you must be one of the very few. One thing I would admit too though as you get older & have watched the up's & down's of following your team over the years I do think you get less biased, you want to see your team win but can admit that for whatever reason we blew it.

    Yeah, totally agree. If my team are second best I'll call it for what it is.

    I have never claimed to not be a little biased towards my team. Sorry, I'm not sure where you got that from?

    I'm not sure what game management has to do with this debate?

    I don't have to prove it Saff. I have spoken on many occasions to opposition supporters and I can honestly say they ALL want the best outcome for their club. Ergo the supposition that all clubs would take it even if they would rather it was by natural means rather than made up.

    Point two and again I don't have to prove anything there either. I have read enough comments on the Sunderland board to know how biased home supporters can be so don't lets get into the "I wouldn't" thing. You might rather it be by another means as said above and you may even say that but you would still take the promotion if offered.

    Point three. If Sunderland had been able to be promoted in the same way you and I both know you would take it. The hypocrisy would be to not say I won't support them now because they cheated somebody else. You know full well you would support them so throwing stones at another club for doing what you would take for your own is the hypocrisy. Or are you that incensed with the idea and righteous that you would never look at their results again in disgust.

    Giving an opinion on something isn't speaking for everyone else. An example in your first post was that Wycombe weren't bothered about Covid once they got into the play offs. Do you know this and can you prove it or are you speaking for Wycombe when you make that statement? Easy to use that one isn't it. Are you speaking for you alone or everyone else in the Wycombe Boardroom?

    WOW great point there Saff. Do you belong to a debating society? If you don't you should consider joining one. Best leave it there I think if it's a bit too taxing for you.
