Media: Middlesbrough suing EFL over Derby's stadium sale
13 September 2019
Middlesbrough are alleging the EFL failed to enforce its financial rules in regard to Derby's purchase of their own stadium, according to the Times.
The claim is based on the fact that Boro finished behind the East Midlands club last season.
As pressure mounts on the EFL over its handling of the cases at Bury and Bolton, the body now finds itself under more scrutiny as Middlesbrough are set to sue, alleging it failed to enforce its financial rules when Derby purchased their own stadium.
The development comes after the EFL last week ordered an independent valuation of Derby's stadium, Pride Park, along with valuations of the stadiums of Sheffield Wednesday and Reading, who performed similar manoeuvres to Derby.
