Disciplinary Charges

Derby County have asked the English Football League to relax its transfer embargo as they have just 9 registered senior players, two of them goalkeepers. They are unable to sign players to reach the 23 players of 'professional standing' the EFL rules would normally allow as they have more than enough players within youth and under-23 teams that meet the criteria having made a single first-team appearance in a competitive game. Not sure why Rooney is unable to make do with youth players like many lower league teams have to do every week. Perhaps stop whining and try managing?

The arbitration hearing over Newcastle United's takeover has been adjourned until early next year after "issues with the disclosure of evidence".

The Football Association is to investigate the scenes surrounding Wembley Stadium ahead of the Euro 2020 final, the same scenes both they and Wembley claimed never happened.
