Curtains

I’ve given it a lot of thought - the creditors that were stuffed, the football staff that were laid off, the young jewels we had to sell for pennies, the 8 months of worry for the fans, the ridicule, the relegation, the squad being reduced to 6 pro’s on the books, the diet of League 1 football - but boy that one evening in Leeds back in 2019. You know what it was worth it all. Lovely to have you back Curtains.

I will never get over what the EFL did to my beloved club.
Surprises me why other readily accept it

until they were fearing for their jobs because he almost killed the club.... 

Pinched from the Telegraph.
The "statement of affairs" report from Derby County's administrators has landed at Companies House.
The document includes details of the club's assets and liabilities which are available for public view.
It shows that more than £26m is owed to HMRC and £20m to MSD Holdings.
In addition, a combination of football and trade creditors are owed around £15m.
On the list of creditors, Derby owe £8.37m in outstanding player registration fees and £504,000 in agents' commission.
Other groups owed cash include Derby City and Erewash Borough Council, St John's Ambulance, East Midlands Ambulance Service, Middlesbrough FC and the Football League
………the full list is out there if you want to have a look.

I can’t do anything. 
The horse has bolted .
Doesn’t mean Derby County and MM we’re fairly treated does it. 

Have you got statistics on this !

Because everything would be so much better if we didn’t have to pay any taxes ?

Well, that's a very good point, and may well be true.
I hasten to add, I don't hate the guy.  And I certainly don't enjoy this feeling of being let down by him/his actions.
I'm not even accusing him (of anything!)  I've tried to set out my comments as question, as I obviously don't know the guy, and don't know the true facts of what went on, and who made what decisions. 
 
Hopefully we'll get a warts and all book out at some stage, although I won't be holding my breath.  I just get the feeling that if he himself thought his actions were defendable, he would have invited us all to a presser, and made his defence in public, by now?
I could of course, be totally and utterly wrong!

Didn’t Mel just back his Managers .
Devil and deep blue sea .
Fans wanted signings as well remember 

Yes efl are bunch bankers anything try keep us down it really really unfair that we cant sign players on small fees or at least a couple of players on fees.

I think the EFL rules preventing DCFC from extending the contracts of Academy professionals on low wages and offering professional contracts to players turning 17 robbed DCFC of sufficient players to run functioning teams below 1st team level, put additional strain on those youngsters left behind, presented bargains to clubs that we owed nothing to, and potentially robbed unsecured creditors from receiving further funds over and above what any prospective owner was willing to pay (eg : if DCFC had been able to extend Ebosele's  contract on the proviso that any profit from a future transfer was split in an agreed proportion between the club and unsecured creditors, it would at least have meant potentially more money for creditors and no unearned bargain for Udineseford. It would also have meant that, in the event that the club was liquidated, the EFL would have been able to claim higher compensation from any club wishing to acquire their registrations). Their short-sighted rule also, in the case of Ebosele, meant that his Irish club missed out on a healthy sell-on fee. 
 

Thanks mate.  
Was just having time out .
Been to most games home and away.
We have been doing well of late and it’s easy to forget where we were just 5 months ago as a club.

Yes will be interested to see if other clubs take unilateral action now that Wycombe and Boro have set a precedent in law. This for me was the shameful part of the entire story, in that the EFL facilitated it.

Unless he had a spare £50m+ burning a hole in his back pocket, I suspect not.  It was a matter of time until HMRC or MSD came calling for what we owe them.  And having the stadium and training ground repossessed by MSD possibly would have put us in a worse position.
In terms of the EFL, there's no doubt we were badly treated.  Having the ground valued by a guy that knew nothing about valuing sports stadiums.  The amortization charge off the back of an "expert" who literally did not know the rules he was supposedly an expert on. Points deductions for offences under rules that were subsequently changed to make sure other clubs didn't break them.  Various demands that the administrators break the law or they'd kick us out of the league.  Rewriting administration law on a whim to benefit the  parasite clubs.  An apparently harsher enforced business-plan than any other club has been forced under.  I could go on...

With you Curtains. It was a gross injustice that has led us to here. This sums up my view on it.
I hope very bad things happen to all the people at the EFL involved or who stood idly by and didn't stop the wrongdoing on the part of their organization.
