Cheers - really interesting. Lazio do seem to come up time and again when thuggery is discussed... My uncle was telling me about Rome being pretty much the only place he's been genuinely scared at a Boro game. I know that was Roma not Lazio, but still. Sounds like the police are worse than the fans. Link to post Share on other sites

Depends what way to look at it. The move wasn't prohibited in the rules, I think, so that won't be breaking the rules. However if they look at the value then it may be a different story. Derby valued the stadium at 41 million but sold it at 80 million, so obviously not at market price. In the end I think the water is too muddy for them to come to a solution. A points reduction is going to be very unlikely. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,206 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 A big slap on the wrist and a statement that this will be written into the laws of the game so as to stop it from happening again is as best as I think we can hope for. It's not a sustainable financial decision to make. Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,704 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) Came on to say I have seen the EFL are once again investigating Derby. Will be interested to see what comes of this. Will the EFL investigate Sheffield Wednesday and Reading too, or are they deemed to have fairly revalued their stadiums? Edit: After some digging Reading are due to be investigated too. Link to post Share on other sites

The headline just poked at derby only because they're the biggest of the fishes. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I know I don’t believe a single word that comes out of Pulis’ mouth. He only cares about one person and he’ll do what he can to paint a decent picture of himself. Link to post Share on other sites

I can't comment on any issues they had between the two of them behind the scenes but Braithwaite did appear to have a stinking attitude from the off and wanted to be elsewhere. What you're saying could well be the case, though. Some of the players seemed somewhat relieved when he went so maybe it was his attitude as well as his awful football, who knows?
