Today’s Football 2021/22 Season

[GoldenToffee]

Barnsley relegated as well, between Peterborough and Reading for the last slot, 7 point difference with 3 to play

Big pressure on Fulham later with Bournemouth cutting the gap to 6, having lost their last 2, and with the Cherries to come on Saturday

No biggie, they're going up no question, even if they lose against Bournemouth!

 

[duncs pigeon]

If he has any sense he should gtf out of that toxic club. He absolutely did his best. BTW I know a very decent Derby fan - gutted for him

Why are they toxic mate? Will be exceptional effort if he gets them back up, good luck to him.

 

[mmmmsnouts]

Barnsley and Wigan are even bigger yo-yo clubs than Norwich and Watford. Absolutely cannot find a level.

Derby deducted nine more points for breaching EFL rules over Pride Park sale

Derby County have been deducted a further nine points after admitting to breaches of the EFL’s profitability and sustainability rules over the £81m sale of Pride Park to owner Mel Morris, taking their total deductions this season to 21 points

www.theguardian.com

12 point deduction for various issues. Mind you I am seriously worried about Everton suffering similar.

 

[NathDogg]

Unlucky for Wayne and derby - made a much better fist of it than l thought possible. Not sure he will stay will he?

 

[longers]

I see Wrexham have had some amazing end to the season and look like they could be promoted, hollywood effect paying off... should make for a good first season of 'Welcome to Wrexham'.

Crucial difference. Derby owner, Mal Morris (?) tried to hoodwink the EFL with the sale of the ground for FFP, or whatever they have. We have engaged with the PL for ages, asking if what we are doing is ok, showed openness with the accounts and the covid/ground costs, and they have said fair enough.

Even the USM naming rights queue thing was approved. Before it was signed off.

Anyrate. Great result for Bristol Rovers today.

Sorry that should have been 21 points - typing too fast

Yo clubs

I'm on way to Forest game to check out these Forest players.

Lozano has just done a perfect Vardy to earn a penalty

Just a shame Stockport got a winner in injury time

 

[TGW89]

Roma are going dry bum Leicester if they play like this. Great team when they want to be.

Zalewski (20) and Zainolo (22) look decent an all. Just don't bring them here if we survive, as they'll turn to mush... that is if Kenny doesn't keep them out of the starting XI as a makeshift wide player.

 

[bluelife]

Rooney shouldn’t be touched with a barge pole. All this ‘great job’ lark - don’t buy it for a second. Derby shouldn’t have been relegated, and certainly not with 4 games to go.

You realise the actual points they accumulated would have seen them mid-table, were it not for the deductions?

With that said I agree we should swerve. Due to the squad nonsense at the start of the season and the deductions there was no pressure on him to perform at all. Next season will be the barometer, when he should be expected to bring them back up.
