The 'Please Let Derby County Get Relegated' Thread

Derby only stayed up because of the incompetence of those below them.

Rotherham really blew it, not only today, but with the narrow defeats and draws in their games in hand over the past few weeks.

Despite Wycombe, Rotherham and Wednesday getting relegated their is a chance that Derby may replace one of them. It might be a very slim chance but now that its rumoured the EFL has won it's appeal against the way they depreciate their players it could lead to a points deduction.

Almost certainly the knock on effect will be that Derby have breached the FFP rules and will face disciplinary action.

My guess is that this decision will be confirmed once the playoffs and the 2020/21 season is officially finished and if there is a points deduction it will be applied next season rather than this year. This would then allow Derby to appeal (similer to Sheff Wed this season).

It would be better if they applied these deductions for the current season, butvit rarely does the team getting the deduction any favours. Look at Sheff Weds - they've effectively wasted a season now having had to play from -6 and got relegated anyway. They'd have been better off going down straight away and they could have spent this season trying to get back up.

If Derby get -12 for next season they'll a certainly go down too, so again may as well have gone down now.
