Derby manage to avoid a deduction, or even a fine, for charges that seemed very similar, if not identical, to Sheffield Wednesday's.
Legal challenge from Sheffield Wed incoming then I reckon.

Always helps when you have 1 of your board members on the disciplinary panel!
I don't think this is the case. EFL disciplinary matters are heard by an independent disciplinary panel. Apart from anything, it seems fairly obvious that the EFL would not allow a club director to rule in a disciplinary matter relating to his or her own club!Always helps when you have 1 of your board members on the disciplinary panel!
As I understand it, the legal challenges were actually for quite distinctly different offences. While both related to the sale of the clubs' respective stadiums to their owners to comply with FFP, that particular (and rather dubious) method of loophole exploitation wasn't actually punished in either case. While it appears that both stadiums were sold for inflated prices to allow the clubs to make a loss deemed acceptable under the Championship's weird conception of FFP (39m loss over a three year period), it seems the disciplinary panels steered clear of making judgements over whether the stadiums were properly valued - which I think it is reasonable to concede is probably beyond their remit.Legal challenge from Sheffield Wed incoming then I reckon.
Things could be going from bad to worse at Hillsborough.
You have to query the decision to move there from Darren Moore. His Doncaster side looked to be going up this season gone. And now he'll be back in League One with what looks like a Wigan situation. Can't see them going for promotion next year if things stay like this.
Any remember them being in L1 or the old division 3 maybe my ageIt’s probably an age thing, but I’ve never really considered Sheffield Wednesday a particularly big club. I remember them struggling in the premier league whist at school before being relegated. Since then they’ve yoyo’d between the championship and league one.
I remember them as a top div club, taking us apart in one of our last games there with that full back whose name I can’t recall . But their glory days are further back. I think they are big, just not good.It’s probably an age thing, but I’ve never really considered Sheffield Wednesday a particularly big club.

Wednesday reportedly owe £12m in unpaid wages and bonuses.
If it’s a loyalty bonus not a performance bonus why wouldn’t it be paid if relegated?Not surprised. Bonuses are nuts/ridiculous when you get end of season loyalty payments even though your team got relegated.
