Would be a very interesting case for the new owner to take on, one that I would be supportive of if they can prove that the administrators were willing to accept their bid before the January transfer window, and these claims were the only thing that prevented them proceeding. You could have a strong case for damages for the loss of players and extra administration fees incurred.

Not sure about bringing Gibson and Couhig into it, whilst they made the claims, it’s the EFL entertaining the idea they are football debts. 

I know some would prefer for us not to engage in a further war with the EFL, however the time to kiss and make up has long gone, by bringing a claim for damages to the courts would help to ultimately see why we are desperately in need of an independent regulator.

By bringing the initial claim they are accountable. Without the claim there is no obstacle to the sale(at least not from other clubs).

Surely (and i'm guessing here) it's like making a fraudulant insurance claim when you claim you TV lept off the wall and damaged itself, when in reality you smashed it up in anger?

Na, they thrive in polluted environments such as teesside...

Arbitration is a waste of time, others have said it before, this has to go before a judge. Then hopefully people will start to deal with facts and not fantasy to determine an outcome which can finally end this never ending nightmare.

Gibson and Boro are entitled to nothing. Couhig being an American thinks litigation is the answer to everything, he falls into the ambulance chaser category. Wycombe are also entitled to nothing. Neither of them should be entertained or included in any discussions. It’s about time Gibson’s financial dealings are scrutinised, let’s see how clean he is!

The EFL are a weak, spineless organisation run by halfwits who I wouldn’t leave in charge of a kettle never mind oversee 72 football clubs. They are the babysitter you know you shouldn’t leave your kids with!

It has to go to the High Court for a full adjudication, and yes there are potential risks with this, but it can’t be any worse than seeing our football club evaporate in front of our eyes.

If we win, then we sue for damages against the EFL stopping us retaining our players and Gibson/Couhig for the same due to holding up the sale.

The torture has to stop one way or the other and as others have said if these ridiculous claims of compensation based on fantasy are upheld, the floodgates will open.  I believe the EFL are done for as a governing body either way.

The next worrying development I fear is Rooney chucks the towel in. How many more lies, half-truths will he stand for before he’s had enough?

Regardless….. We fight to the end!

Keep the faith my fellow Black and White warriors! I can’t support another club if we vanish, I’d be done with football.

Not posted in a while.... The stress is killing me.....

I'm sure some have you have stumbled across the amusing reading I found and attach below.

Boro fans wanting our demise might want to be careful what they wish for. SG is far from the clean cut business man they believe he is....

Boro apparently £35m in debt for this season alone ???. Only allowed £39m over 3seasons. Pot kettle springs to mind.... and the bit of extra reading I've done tonight was that Gibson sold the club's debt to his own haulage company to get around FFP which the EFL have now closed the loophole on..... What an absolute twonk! 

So by his logic any club Boro beat (unfair advantage due to over spending) this season could sue due to cheating...and if they get into the playoffs or promoted the same would apply.

I'll go back to my dark room and crack the single malt open again to try and forget this never ending nightmare. 

UTR!

Couldn't resist.
