What really annoys me is that they came so close to their cheating actually paying off. If they had won the playoffs and got in the premier league does any of their cheating come to light? I doubt it.
They are in this situation because they got caught. They deserve everything they get. In fact, if they enter liquidation then i'm afraid they have no one to blame. They've defrauded the football league, they've defrauded other teams and now they are trying to defraud the tax payer.
Quite frankly a fresh start with a phoenix club might actually help get rid of the stench of cheating.
I hope we fecking smash them at the weekend.
Exactly this, if they went up they would not be suffering at all. EFL wouldn't have been able to touch them. They failed now it's time to live with the consequences. Ultimately as sad as it is to see a team liquidated, you can't make special arrangements because that will encourage others to take similar risks in the future. The deterrent has to be there, hopefully for their sake someone generously puts up enough for them to survive/pay some of the debts so they can keep going and gradually pay back what they owe.
Alternatively, bye bye.
Yeah its S**t for Derby, both they and Villa were "cheating on FFP", winner is fine, loser f@cked.
The system needs fixing so that getting promotion isn't a get out of jail free card.
Spot on.
You have to ask why the system hasn't been fixed. (It smells of corruption to me.)
Probably because some billionaire owned Super Six Premier teams want their break away super duper elite Star Ship Enterprise Premier League next.
SA.
