From The Times
"Middlesbrough are set to sue the English Football League, alleging that it failed to enforce its financial rules over Derby County’s purchase of their own stadium.
In an unprecendented move, the Sky Bet Championship club have sent a legal letter to the EFL after Derby beat them to a play-off place last season by one point, denying Middlesbrough the chance of securing promotion to the Premier League and a potential £180 million windfall.
Derby are among a number of clubs who have been accused by rivals of exploiting a loophole in the EFL’s rules that allowed them to buy their own stadium to make themselves financially compliant." |  |

Brave move, but may get the EFL to ensure the FFP rules are fair , clear and adhered to by all. |  | | |

On the one hand this is probably a good thing.
On the other hand, Middlesbrough complaining about another teams spending? Rofl |  |

It's like watching those 2 boys you always hated in the 5th year finally fighting each other. |  |

Much like when you see Norwich playing Chelsea, Leeds or QPR, this is a match up where I hope there's some kind of Bryzantine ruling which sees both of them lose. |  |

I imagine it will be argued over in Court for years and then nothing will happen as usual!
The football authorities have missed the boat on this, and all the other dodgy dealings which go on these days, and couldnt do anything meaningful about it now, even if they wanted to, The Premier League, who effectively run football in this country, wont let them! |  | | |

I don't think Boro will get any money out of it, as they can't prove a loss / damages.
Though hopefully it will encourage the EFL to enforce FFP rules. |  |
