Wycombe Chairman on BBC Radio Derby - Everyone needs to listen

[newusername]

Why can't the EFL order the sale of high value Derby players to be replaced by free transfers. That money for transfers to go into a pot controlled by the football league for Wycombe and Boro.

Surely they have 6 or 7 quality players who could raise a total of £20m plus Derby are owed £6m in Covid payments according to the BBC reporter.

That reminds me of Ron Noades, Crystal Palace and Boro's position in 1986. Why pay a transfer fee for a player when if you wait a few months they'll be a free agent following the club's liquidation?

Would they be able to sign for another club and be registered outside of the transfer window if Derby disappear?

simply put Derby fans were happy to ignore the financial cheating as long as it benefitted them on the field. But not they want to wipe their hands, and think rules and laws should be changed to appease them.

the Football club cheated, they've received penalties for failing FFP. they triggered their own administration and received the legal penalty, they are yet to face the penalty for the actual cheating.

Good question, I don't know.

Currently a free agent can sign outside of the window, as long as they were a free agent before the window ended. And a club can make an emergency signing outside of the transfer window with the agreement of the league., eg if all their keepers are crocked.

So if a club went into liquidation after the window ended, they are in breach of contract & the players would become free agents through no fault of their own and it would seem inequitable that they wouldn't be able to sign with new teams until the end of the season but this is the Football League we are talking about.

I hope it doesn't come to that for Derby, 85/86 and going into the summer of '86 was a worrying time to be a Boro fan and I wouldn't want that for other fans.

I think only Mike Ashley can save them now.... don't know how Gibson would feel about that like

I guess the question is.. how would the Derby fans feel about it?

If at first you don't succeed..
