Am I a fan of the Q&A style statement?
In truth, most definitely not.  But in the case of MM's latest offering, I have to say it was beautifully laid out.  Rather pleasing on the eye, one could say.
Notwithstanding the above, would I agree in general, to those comments as quoted by @RadioactiveWaste?
I would be most satisfied if I were to never see another open letter/official statement written in the Q&A format, and am therefore happy to concede that I do indeed agree with the commenter's comments.  

There’s a lot to process in that statement, but the bit about the scheduling of the ‘Boro hearing is genuinely astonishing, given what’s been said by them and the EFL. We’ve been trying to schedule it since they made the claim, but the earliest their counsel was available was May 2022…

Every time a thread gets upped with a players name in the title, I get a little flutter of panic ?

Given that he’s just written a 4 page essay basically calling the EFL and their arbitration process borderline corrupt, I think the odds of him wanting to underwrite the outcome of an arbitration hearing are basically zero.
And to be fair (on this point anyway), if I was underwriting a legal outcome, I’d want my own lawyers running the case, not someone else’s.

All round to yours for the celebration then?

You have to wonder if that was ever going to happen, seeing as ‘Boro’s counsel is apparently fully booked until May 2022.

The problem is, by that argument, nobody should be allowed to own a company unless they can personally cover the entire companies operating costs themselves.  If you want to start a company, you basically need to be richer than the company can ever possibly be before you're allowed to start/own it.
So if you start a little bedroom company, and you get to the stage where you're doing well and have got a few employees etc.  Congratulations, the company is now potentially going to cost you more than your entire personal wealth if anything bad happens (like a global pandemic, maybe?). Should you be forced to close the company?  
Like it or not, Limited companies exist for very good reasons, and the upsides of having them far outweigh the risks.
And as for penalties on Morris, there won't be any (as long as hasn't done anything outright illegal, like stole from the pension fund or something, which I don't believe he has).  That's literally the point of limited companies.
If you want to start arguing that football clubs shouldn't be limited companies, then there's maybe some mileage there. But I guarantee you, we would have no bidders at all if the new owners were required to personally guarantee any future losses.  And neither would a lot of clubs.

We really need to stop arguments like this.  Fees for administrators is quite tightly controlled (legally). There are processes in place for creditors to contest what they're being paid if they feel it's unacceptable (since the admins fees are eating into any potential repayment that creditors might receive).  And even beyond all the legal aspects of it, the last thing Quantuma want is a reputation for not being able to do their job very well and dragging out the process.
All of the insinuations that the admins are mucking about are coming from outside entities that just want to sow discord amongst us.  We need to keep our eyes on the real enemies here.

Personally, I carry printed copies of the EFL rules and the DC/LAP written reasons wherever I go. You never know when someone is going to start asking awkward questions, and it's always good to have the option of getting it out and waving it around.  And the printouts are useful too...

This still smacks of extortion. Mel is obviously now not popular with Rams Fans quite rightly. But he owes Gibson nothing, so why should he pay him anything? If Mel still has the wealth to forgo £7-10 million...why would he give hit to Gibson? The stadium sale is no longer an issue as it was deemed by the EFL to be ok and the valuation to be accurate. What the owner (Mel) does with the stadium is NOTHING to do with Gibson. If he wants to gift it to Derby he can, If he wants to sell at a figure to pay off MSD he can, If he wants to rent it to the new owner he can...it has F All to do with Gibson.

And obviously the same people that didn't bat an eyelid when we paid £5m for Tom Lawrence, are now demanding we sell him for £250k.  Circumstances change, and values change.
