You think Albert Celades can be all that? Hasn't really been tested. Sorta like Super Frank.

Middlesbrough are set to sue the English Football League for allegedly failing to uphold their financial rules with regards to the Derby County owner's purchase of Pride Park.

Boro - who missed out on a Championship play-off place by finishing one point behind Derby last season - have sent a legal letter to the EFL, whose board met on Thursday.

The EFL are set to conduct independent valuations regarding sales by Derby, Sheffield Wednesday and Reading of their own grounds to their owners.

Both Middlesbrough and the EFL have declined to comment on the issue, first reported by The Times.

In May, the issue was raised by Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani, who accused Derby of "cheating" after owner Mel Morris bought Pride Park for £80m and leased it back to the club, helping the Rams achieve a profit of £14.6m.

Earlier this summer, it was reported some Premier League clubs wanted the apparent loophole closed.

Derby have defended the sale of their stadium, saying they conducted an independent commercial valuation prior to the deal being completed.

Aston Villa's sale of Villa Park to the club's owners is also set to be scrutinised by the Premier League, to establish whether it may have breached financial fair play rules.

The stadium was sold in May for £56.7m to owners Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens via NSWE Stadium Ltd, a company controlled by the two billionaires.

The deal helped Villa comply with the EFL's profit and sustainability rules.

Villa, promoted to the top flight in May, insist any such review is standard practice, and part of the normal assessments that all clubs face.

Makes you appreciate the CPO even more reading that!

get in

 

what a goal

Sorry. That was my fault. Literally just switched the game on.

despicable c**t

Utd wins due to a penalty again. Wtf at least 40% of penalties of the entire league at this point??

Firmino is such a good player. I hope Real buys him next season.

City 2 down against Norwich

Norwich robbed of a penalty by VAR 

Otemendi !!!

when City have an off day, they really have an off day 

If they lose that would be funny, we have to beat pool next match

The "oh god, not Liverpool" is starting early this season 

I know it's very early in the season, but the previous three seasons the winners of the league have won 30 or more games. City can't really afford to lose ground on Liverpool.

sadly with our defence (goals for 11; goals against 11) - it's going to be an upset if we do 

Our result away at Norwich is currently taking on some extra gloss ... with City 3-1 down with 20 minutes to go ....

Krul has given City a chance to get something out of this. 

Wow big win for Norwich

It's always the newly promoted teams that put up a fight against the big teams. The rest of league are so sh*t scared of City and Liverpool, it's a bit pathetic really.
