I just don't think this action is worth it.
I think creating further jeopardy for cheats IS worth it, if Morris know he would be financially liable for breaking ffp, then he would have probably not done it and Derby wouldn't be in this mess. Doing this IS worth it in scaring other chairman from acting in this way
That's an opinion, but without having access to the details of an arbitration process you simply don't know and of course it isn't just Gibson, it's Couhig too
Derby have been punished by the league with a hefty points deduction
They have, however they are looking for a way of writing off debt AND keeping their playing assets. That can't be justice. But, Gibson isn't doing this to punish, he wants compensation. How much of his own personal money has Gibson put into this club? How do you thin he feels sticking to the rules, and seeing other teams make his investment worthless because they don't follow the rules?
We were significantly weaker than all of the play-off sides and wouldn't have gone up in any case.
It's unlikely, but not impossible. I think had Derby not cheated, we would have a 95%+ chance of reaching the play-offs, a 50% chance of beating a Leeds side that we had drawn twice with, and probably a 10% chance of beating Villa on the day to reach the prem. You can argue a % here or there. But you can't realistically state that we wouldn't (100%) have reached the final or gained promtion.
If Derby had been promoted themselves and accessed the riches of the Premiership, then Gibson's action would've had more merit.
Not really relevant to the point at hand
As it is, it just seems like sour grapes.
That's an opinion, but the fact that Gibson drew attention to this before that season ended makes it seem a poor conclusion
Move on, and let Derby and their supporters move on too.
They haven't paid their debts, they absolutely should not move forward.
