    Happened with Middlesbrough and Wycombe suing Derby county also. The terms of the settlement were never revealed there. Middlesbrough suing was especially egregious as they sued because Derby made the play offs instead of them, they weren’t even guaranteed to go up if Derby hadn’t finished above them. They didn’t sue Villa either who also broke the rules but because they were promoted were then out of the EFLs reach.

    Steve Gibson decided to take the easy route and sue a club on the brink of liquidation who didn’t have the funds to fight back.
