Derby County, led by Wayne Rooney, were relegated to the third tier of English football after losing 1-0 on Monday to Queens Park Rangers.
Rooney’s challenge to keep Derby in the Championship was huge after the traditional club had 21 points taken early in the championship due to their financial problems.
Derby suffered a judicial intervention in September and the press even speculated that the club would not be able to finish the season.
The 1-0 defeat to QPR and Reading’s draw with Swansea meant the Rams’ mathematical downfall, which if they hadn’t lost those 21 points for economic reasons they would have been comfortably installed in the middle of the table, far from relegation.

On the other hand, Fulham and Bournemouth remain isolated in the first two positions of the Championship, which guarantee direct promotion to the Premier League in the next season.
Fulham lead 10 points clear of Huddersfield (3rd) before taking on Preston (15th) on Tuesday, while Bournemouth beat Coventry (11th) 3-0 and are four points clear of their first pursuer. .
