It's brilliant. Especially as they're all expecting Premier League in the first series and they go the other way.
And then David Brent changing the stadium music in the second series

Football's Mr Fix-It caught in sting to sell cash-strapped Derby
Undercover reporters met with Samuelson on behalf of an investor they called 'Mr X' and they were told how he could help their 'boss' in getting around the Football League's Fit and Proper Persons' test.
Anyone else seen this when Derby fans thought it couldn't get worse

He seems a lovely bloke and the two clubs he sorted both went bad.

Or... played more English top flight games last season than our entire squad has in their careers, trained with Derby all pre-season and, let's be honest, is probably there as a favour to a mate until January, in the hope they don't need to use him that often.

I fail to understand why Derby need even more time to present audited accounts......it’s not hard..... unless you’re trying to manipulate the record

I don’t understand how they are being allowed to sign players when they still haven’t filed their accounts. Also will they be getting a points deduction or not? It seems that if it was most other clubs they would have had a 10 point deduction already, I don’t get why Derby aren’t being treated the same

They're a brand that the EFL feels is within their commercial interest to keep in the division. Both due to club size and the fact Rooney is in charge.
It's as simple as that unfortunately.

No it is because they are acting within embargo rules

Yeah Wayne Rooney derby embargo rules, should have been done months ago the crafty barstools. How long ago did they last file the accounts....PUSB

The embargo allows players to be signed - this is clearly within the EFL rules. The issue is around professional standing. The EFL have conceded that the squad only had 18 players of professional standing and therefore had to sign 5 more to an already reduced squad of 23.
Points deductions can only come into force if the FFP rules have proved to be broken on submission of the accounts
The EFL cannot just ignore its rules because it is Wayne Rooney - the rules are agreed amongst all members

Didn't they then relax their ruling again to allow the replace kazim-richards with Baldock?
I actually think the EFL did the right thing allowing them to bring themselves up to 23 players, but then to relax it again because of an injury seemed a bit lenient to me.

It can mould or relax the punishment to suit their own agenda though - which they did with Sheffield Wednesday. It reduced the 12 point deduction when there was absolutely zero grounds for it to be and the reasoning they gave was pathetic.
If they find anything untoward in their accounts then I expect similar leniency.
Grendel

I don't believe in points reductions anyway unless clubs fail to pay players for a period of time or fall into administration - I don't see the point in the FFP rules

Us and a few other clubs were in embargo for not filing accounts on time despite govt legislation allowing for it. No extension was given despite the club not having to legally submit them.
So why were Derby given an extension? After all their's was only to resubmit parts of the accounts, not all of them and the original fault was the clubs for massaging the figures. Something like that should have been simple to rectify and the only reason it could be taking longer is cos the actual figures don't tell the story they want. Well, tough shit.
It's like a kid being caught cheating in an exam and then been given extra time at the end to finish.

Not quite true & a common misconception.
The EFL didn't decide on the amount of points to deduct from Wednesday or the decision to later half that deduction, it's all decided by an independent panel. I believe EFL actually campaigned against the penalty being reduced.

If they are able to support this through other sources yes. Stoke are not going bankrupt - they are bankrolled.
