Far as I understand... (and I might be wrong!) it's the other way around. Derby were the one club who tried something else other than straight line amortisation (from 2016 to 2019). Using different percentages of amortisation each season so that they could move money around on their balance sheet year to year to adjust their FFP calculations.From what I read it seems what they did and got -9 for is now allowed? Seems harsh
Derby's argument was that no specific amortisation method was stipulated in the rules. So what they did, whilst against the spirit perhaps, didn't break the letter of the law (and they probably have a point).
This is just the EFL covering their backside and making it explicit that straight line amortisation is to be used by everyone.
