Be rather ironic if Gibsons actions set a precedent and the relegated club got a huge windfall in compensation. It's nothing to do with Gibson's precedent though. Two different organisations and we settled out of court with Mel Morris personally, the EFL did not give us anything. We're not the first club to try and take legal action. Even in our specific case, Leeds were going to take legal action against Derby themselves until they were promoted and it became irrelevant to them. Link to post Share on other sites

I didn’t mean a legal precedent and I know it’s different organisations. Even so it was all about FFP and alleged breaking of rules and Gibson has supposedly got money for Boro out of threatening legal action. That’s sure to make other clubs try the same route.

TLF10 4,440 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I wanted Burnley down over Leeds. The rebuild at Burnley looks big. Link to post Share on other sites

People only supporting Liverpool because of City's ascent I do appreciate your point and I think you're right, but PSG lost the league last season and City did 2 seasons ago. It's harder, but it's not impossible. Lille won the league and I couldn't name a single one of their players. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah that's true. i'm still reeling from the Mbappe news and then was watching City and remembered that Haaland is incoming too. Link to post Share on other sites
smogsterking the Inspirati 2,453 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 As much as I'd have like Leeds to go down it was probably the best 3 we could ask for if competing for promotion next season. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
p_mards 1,363 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Burnley getting relegated instead of Leeds is good for the likes of us in the Championship next season. Burnley have loads of players out of contract, an ageing squad, only recently ripped up Dyche's successful foundations and are loaded with loads of debt following their takeover by an American consortium so aren't going to be in a particularly good place next season. Watford and Norwich have undoubtedly had poor seasons in the Premier League but still have the same effective foundations that have proven their ability to bounce back from relegation in previous seasons. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
boksicdink 1,937 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I think Burnley were bought out in some debt-financing thing that factored in PL money - so firesale and years of struggle incoming for them Link to post Share on other sites
