EFL Charge Derby With Excess Losses
The EFL have charged Championship club Derby County with excess losses as per the league’s spending regulations.
Derby are charged with breaking profit and sustainability (P&S) rules for the three-year period ending June 2018, which state that clubs must not lose more than £39 million over a three-year cycle.
The EFL said in a statement: “Following a review of Derby County’s Profitability and Sustainability (P&S) submissions, the EFL has charged the club for recording losses in excess of the permitted amounts provided for in EFL Regulations for the three-year period ending 30 June 2018.
“The club will now be referred to an independent Disciplinary Commission, which will hear
representations from both the EFL and Derby County.
“As these matters are now subject to proceedings, the EFL will be making no further comment at this time.”
Subject to the commission’s findings, Derby could face a points deduction which in turn could raise the prospect the prospect of relegation to League One.
