The wording in the Derby statement would imply that they are going to help the players rather than just punish them. Think they will get a suspension and the biggest possible fine. They should of course be sacked like any "normal" human being would be in the same situation but that would mean Derby losing millions of pounds and we all know that is more important to football clubs than what is right.
I had thought that there might be repercussions outside of the clubs authority, suspended license or something?
Yeah I hope so, deserves jail and all the things that go with it. Just wish Derby had the balls to turn around to the players and say you committed gross misconduct, you're fired. FA should then ban them from signing for other clubs for a period of time.
