Melvyn Morris

Yeah.

Middlesbrough did a private, Steve Gibson again, did an agreement with Derby or Mel Morris to do with Derby, breaching PSR rules, which they said cost, he said cost Borough a playoff finish in 2019.

Yeah.

about three million pounds we think they they pay so there is precedent for conversation to be claimed between clubs and this could this could be very very expensive for man city because even with a modest points deduction they probably won't get into europe into the into the european cup uh the champions league next year and with a significant point reduction they may be facing uh relegation so and on top of that There's all sorts of potential financial ramifications.

And the other bit that sort of I've sort of flagged before is that the the carrot of the Premier League is bigger for a championship owner because you've got the parachute payments.

and therefore you know I'll come on to it and often I look at the Derby County situation you look at sort of Mel Morris and what he put into that club and he was a player final away from taking his local team to the promised land lost that final then ended up because they had regulation in place in breach of transfer embargoes, points deductions, so on and so on.

And you look at that and think that person has put in almost 200 million into his club and he's probably one of the most you know, hated people in Derby.

But ultimately, is that because of the structure we have in the Championship allowed that to happen? Or, you know, I don't think he's a bad person.
