I hope SL and similarly affected clubs are planning a fightback on this- there will be a lot of aggrieved parties here, people that will be less than amused at the EFL allowing this...including 'medium to big 'clubs too, e.g. Leeds, Middlesbrough and Nottingham Forest- not that size should matter in this case
There does need to be a concerted effort to bring the cheats to book. I'm sure the owners who run their clubs in line with, or close to, the rules (or the spirit of the rules) must be exasperated at the financial chicanery employed by the few who think they are above the law.

Agreed. One of the best ongoing threads there is.

But still the Fewers won't ask questions of their leaders and will instead ignore the writing that is starting to go on the wall.
Are you in some way suggesting that they aren’t coming for us then!?

Yeah, 10% discount
Do You? But given that the rugby ones always come out later, the 10% discount you’d get off a City one wouldn’t make it cheaper than an early bird one surely?

Ffs Mads. The one from in front of the Lansdown should’ve been nailed on. His favourite side for practicing.

Do you get 10% of a footy season ticket if you have a rugby one? That'd work out to be a much bigger saving overall.
No

Theoretical yes, but a potential Conflict of interest much?? Former Aston Villa chairman takes key role in HS2 in that region...they have issues with FFP, they require compensation for Bodymoor Heath- wonder if he will try to fast-track or inflate it..nah people wouldn't do such things.
The cavalry has arrived! FFS that would cause scenes

Fascinating day, but I expect no answers to anything. Love to listen in to the discussions!
Any meeting with 24 interested parties with differing views will be chaos!

The last line stands out for sure...
"The EFL which has not been invited to Wednesday's meeting"
Am I reading something into nothing?
Good for him- I hope all the clubs who have played by the rules or done their utmost will join him in this!
Greater transparency is usually welcome,. so if it is pushed for that's generally a good thing.
Let's hope this leads to something- this season for any clubs in breach....
Sod's law that Villa and Derby will face belated sanctions - once one of them has gone up through the playoffs!

From £10 adults and £1 kids for the Sale game - should be a big crowd - we could even be safe by then! Actually, we could be safe even by the time we play Tiggers as Newcastle host Saints on the friday night!

So Sarries up next, with 16 players out I can't see us getting much from this.
13.5k sold so far, if we can get that up to 15 that would be a decent turn out.
Here's hoping we can cause an upset...
Any BP would be great from this. All eyes on the Newcastle v. Leicester game tonight.

If you look to your left on A370 going into Bristol you’ll see if just as the A369 traffic joins.
Theres still platforms down by the old A&S police and dogs unit as well which was Clifton Bridge station. Lot more disused stations (ie closed before line closed) along the line that you’d imagine
I'll have a single to Paradise Bottom please!

Essentially Mel Morris purchased Pride Park through a separate company owned by him- and leased it back- if this counts as income under FFP or legit under FFP, then the whole system is ******
Now that would be a shocker if that was allowed! No different to Pula Sports (or whatever it's called) paying £50m for naming rights to AG!

Exclusive: Middlesbrough to sue Derby over alleged breaches of financial rules
Middlesbrough have stunned Derby by announcing their intention to sue the Championship club, days before the play-off final at Wembley.
Steve Gibson, the Middlesbrough owner, has taken drastic action in his dispute with Mel Morris by vowing to take legal action over what he insists are clear breaches of financial rules.
Gibson is alleging that Morris has broken the English Football League’s profitability and sustainability rules and Middlesbrough officials contacted Derby on Friday to inform them of their stance.
Boro are understood to be furious that Derby reported a £14.6m profit in their 2017/18 accounts, after Morris sold the club’s Pride Park stadium and then leased it back. Gibson believes that Morris has flouted the rules.
Derby are adamant they have been fully compliant, and the timing of Middlesbrough’s shock move has surprised the club ahead of their play-off final against Aston Villa on Monday.
Morris also twice invited Middlesbrough officials to look at Derby’s accounts in a meeting of all EFL clubs at Nottingham Forest’s City Ground in March.
He said: "Middlesbrough were offered by us in writing to come with their advisors to go through our submissions for profitability and sustainability, [but] they declined."
Gibson’s attempt to force an independent inquiry of club finances was also rejected by all of the Championship clubs in another meeting last month.
Villa and Sheffield Wednesday have also been in Gibson’s sights but his row with Derby is now threatening to turn ugly.
Derby were unavailable for comment.
