Middlesbrough suing EFL over Derby's stadium sale

Getty Images | Middlesbrough owner Steve Gibson looks on before the Premier League match between Middlesbrough and Manchester United in March 2017. Gibson has had enough of rival clubs possibly circumventing the profitability and sustainability rules.

The claim is based on the fact that Boro finished behind the East Midlands club last season.
