The EFL have also released another statement on the matter on the same day (January 20), which can also be read by clicking here.

Middlesbrough FC have penned an open letter to the joint administrators of Derby County in which they mention Wycombe Wanderers.

Both the Boro and the Chairboys are taking the Rams to court over an alleged loss of earnings due to County’s Financial Fair Play breaches.

Derby have three potential buyers who are reportedly holding off on any deal due to the risk of having to defend the claims.

And on January 17, the EFL released an official statement explaining the situation following reports that the club could fold.

However, following an interview with Rob Couhig, the chairman of Wycombe Wanderers, which was aired on BBC Radio Derbyshire on January 18, Middlesbrough have written an open letter stating that they are ‘concerned by representations that you (the administrators) are continuously making to the media which are not correct.’

The rest of the letter reads: “For example, you continue to represent the claim that we and Wycombe have against Derby County, and the EFL’s response to those claims, is all that is preventing the sale of Derby County. This is not true.

“The purpose of this open letter is to clarify the position and give some important context to the sale of Derby County.”

The club then pinpointed five reasons in which they believe the administrators’ statements to the press were ‘not correct’.

One of the points insinuated that after meeting with the club’s chairman, Steve Gibson, in November 2021, an agreement was met that dialogue between the two parties ‘would be continued’.

However, according to the North East side, there was no dialogue following this meeting until January 14, 2022.

The letter also states that the club, Wycombe and the EFL are being made into ‘scapegoats’ for its ‘failure to conclude what should have been a relatively simple task of bringing Derby County out of administration.’

The rest of the statement reads: “We repeat that we have no wish to see Derby County cease to exist.

“We only want to be dealt with fairly and can only conclude that you are currently choosing to use ourselves, the EFL and Wycombe Wanderers as scapegoats for your failure to conclude what should have been a relatively simple task of bringing Derby County out of administration.

“We hope that you will have the courtesy to respond to this open letter unlike our previous correspondence which remains unanswered.”
