I’m still waiting for someone to tell me the crimes for which Derby have not been punished already. It’s a genuine question. I can’t find reference to it anywhere. The thrust of many of these arguments is that Gibson’s pursuit of a claim against Derby is somehow a noble one because there are breaches that have gone unpunished. But there aren’t as far as I can tell.
Here is the Agreed Decision which confirms that they were punished for the losses in excess of FFP thresholds, for late filing, for the dodgy amortization policies and for their administration:
That being the case, and given that the legal merit of our case is ropey, it then looks like we are pursuing a case at a critical time either to maximize leverage against a club on its knees or to kill that club. It’s a pretty awful look either way. It’s not noble. It smacks of vindictiveness. I hate the idea, whatever the circumstances, that our club could have a material role in killing another.
