Re: English Football League

Leeds and West Brom promoted to the EPL 20/21.

One other team will join them out of Brentford, Fulham, Cardiff and Swansea.

Cmon Brentford!

Not a great start though going down 1:0 away to Swansea. Still have the home leg to make it up but their recent form has been well off.

Fulham look odds on to go to the playoff final after a 2-0 away win against Cardiff.

Brentford I believe have not been in the top flight for quite a long time now.

All 3 were in the EPL back when I lived in London in 2002/03.

Poor Brentford haven't been in the top flight since 1947.

First goal from Bryan what was the keeper doing. Great intelligence on the placement though.

They had so many chances. They just didn’t take them. Could have easily been top 2.

Classic Millwall from the supporters last night.
First game back with fans and they boo the players taking a knee.

Mike Ashley camp 'shown around Pride Park' as Derby County takeover interest grows
The former Newcastle United owner has been linked with a takeover of the crisis-hit Rams after selling the Magpies


Mike Ashley is still "hovering" around a potential takeover of Derby County as the Rams brace themselves for a critical week in the race to save the club's future.

According to the Telegraph's John Percy, Ashley's camp have been shown around Pride Park and have seen the club's training ground.

Sky Sports had claimed that Ashley's interest in the Rams was waning due to the complexities surrounding a deal for the Rams who have been in administration since September.

Not only are Middlesbrough and Wycome pursuing compensation from Derby over their FFP breaches, but there is also a deal to do with the stadium's owner Mel Morris.

But according to Percy, who was responding to a fan on Twitter, he is still showing interest.

Percy said: "He's still in there, hovering. His camp have also been shown around PP and the training ground. Obviously needs to make his move now as the clock is ticking (which may have been the plan all along)."

And Sun journalist Alan Nixon said earlier this morning: "Mike Ashley interest grows. But wants Morris to take less for the stadium and slash admin/legal costs. Then sort out rest. Appleby team still alive. Binnies? EFL would also look for ways to be in League 2 if liquidation happened. But currently better chance of a saviour."

The news comes as Derby prepare for a crucial week in the battle to save the club from liquidation after the EFL released a statement last week to say the club expects to run out of money by February 1.

And they have demanded as a matter of urgency, from the club's administrators Quantuma, how the Rams plan to fund the rest of the season.

There are also the claims from Middlesbrough and Wycombe to resolve with the EFL last week admitting they have written to all parties to suggest independent mediation.

Meanwhile, the Binnie family have also submitted an offer for the club that is not dependent on the outcome of the compensation claims from Boro and the Chairboys.
