I can't disagree with this statement as I can't prove otherwise, by the same token I'm not sure this is something you can prove either.
Having visited the Sheffield Wednesday forum there isn't a lot of love on there for Steve Gibson, I would image Liverpool fans would also not agree having been on the end of his legal action along with other clubs. There is also a small matter of the Man United fanbase that have been questioning the claims in their support for Wayne Rooney.
You can only base your views on what you see and hear, and right now Forest, Leeds and bizarrely Bristol City fans have been very vocal in their support of Steve Gibson, although this will be down to rivalry....except for Bristol City which is once again just bizarre.
I don't know the guy, won't claim to know his life story and the shenanigans he may have been in, but what he has done against this club is unforgivable. 
Make no mistake, he is not responsible for the position we are in, he has been responsible for prolonging the situation with his frivolous claims which let's be honest, the club were never the intended target in all this, it was Mel Morris.
Let's also not forget, nowhere would you find Boro fans complaining at the time in 18/19, Tony Pulis was the target of your frustrations and rightly so, only now that Gibson's claims became public are Boro fans out in force to support their owner, which is commendable. 
We have seen the benefits of a siege mentality ourselves recently, even clubs such as Leeds which we dislike with a passion, you have to applaud the way they defend their club and anyone connected.
End of the day, it's quite possible the club could have been sold long before we entered administration had we not had these claims over us, they have been the main stumbling block. That's 12 points back on the board, no Embargos and we could potentially be challenging the top 6 with you this season. 
I know Boro fans will argue justice has been served, especially if we go down, but relegation is not a punishment the EFL can just hand out.
If you want to hear tales of how great Steve is, what a gentleman and upstanding person in the community, you will not find that on here, so don't be shocked to read plenty of vitriol aimed towards Gibson and in our eyes it's fully deserved. Every single bit of it.

My reply.
I understand I'm pissing in the wind with this, just want us to be treated fairly which I feel we are not.
With regards to the review of our points deduction, I looked at the judgment and it was a loss of £1.96m above the upper threshold for 20/21 where a £5m covid exemption was allowed. Last nights statement was £2.5m with immediate effect to the 21/22 season.
Wouldn't change the deduction at all would it @Ghost of Clough?

Just sat and watched this at work...
I think only now, I'm starting to appreciate just what kind of man is behind the name.  What kind of man the boy has become.
His attitude.  His commitment.  His determination.  His perfect imperfections.  
It's clear he maybe wouldn't have got to this point without "C'leen", but he most certainly wouldn't have got to this point if he himself hadn't been... well... himself!
It was a special insight into a special man.
My overriding reaction to all that is that right there... right at the end... I saw The Ram.  I saw my club.  I saw PPS.  I saw my seat!  That's how close we are to this legend-that-hasn't-finished-yet! 
We have an extraordinary man here.  We need to go to extraordinary lengths to ensure he stays, ensure he wants to stay, and we need to cross our fingers that some of his extraordinariness rubs off on this otherwise fair-to-middling club of ours.
He may never be "Our S'Ralex".  He may never be our next Mr Clough.  But with luck... admittedly a lot of luck... he will end his football career as "Derby County's Wayne Rooney".  One of a kind... and One of our own.

Brian (Clement) Attley? (I cheated by looking at the squad, but haven't looked at his playing career!)

Any "advantage" gained by amortising differently is by definition temporary as all you're doing is rearranging cashflow over a short period (the duration of a players contract). 
You still have to start at the purchase price and end at 0 and we were shown to be doing just that. 
The shrieking narrative of "systematically cheating" is completely disproportionate. 
We could only have been systematically spending more than allowed if we were excluding some cost from the ffp calculation. But no complaints of that nature have been made which given Gibso's tendency to spray accusations around suggests that there isn't anything of that nature. 

Simon Jordan and Adrian Durham are two reasons I don’t listen to Talk Sport any more. Them, and the nutters who ring in with their point of view ? ??

But you would think that's a case of "Come on lads we prefer you to be in line with industry standards so alter accordingly from now". It certainly doesn't deserve the absolute kicking we got. I know we are all a little more relaxed as we are moving forward it seems but this still all stinks like crazy. 

Since we're now just posting any old shyte on this thread, here's a dog under mortar fire chasing an exploding cat

They probably won’t talk to me. The last time I was on the radio (via Zoom) with Rick Parry the producer said he would only come on the show if I didn’t ask any questions and my microphone was switched off when he was being interviewed. 

Not sure I understand!
Do Austrians have a thing for escalators?  ?‍♂️
 

May I informally enquire...
What's the chances of having one of those buttons at the bottom of each page, that magically transports you back to the top of the page, with one deft touch?
Alternatively, maybe the icon that returns you to the "Unread Content" list is also at the bottom, rather than only at the top?   ?‍♂️
Not so fussed about scrolling back up on the lappy, but when lying in bed of a night, on my iphone, every time I vigorously swipe back to the top of the page (typically 3 swipes, if not more!), the bed jerks... and Muckerette is a bit of a filthy mare, so her little face lights up, thinking I want some attention, when I really don't!
"No darling" says I.  "I'm just having some fun with the boys".
"Oh!", she replies.  ?
 
 
 

Knowing how the EFL have performed they'll probably find a way for them both to win.

There's a few clips of "trouble" after the game on that Facebook site.

It might be bloody-minded of me, but if Quantuma have (finally) been allowed to name a PB - after the EFL & Boro blocked it for 2 months, IMHO in a calculated fashion, and caused squad decimation and the prospect of liquidation, I'd be minded to decline the EFL bustards.
I hope the fan groups demand a prompt approval of the PB. And an apology.
The EFL fudged and farted their way along the transfer window, on strings manipulated by Gibson, until the damage was done and last-ditch interventions via MPs etc were required.
Maybe the EFL are now conscious of the attention that will turn upon themselves and they want to 'make friends' with fan groups perceived to be capable of wielding influence over the DCFC fanbase. No anti-EFL petitions, please, look how we solved it for you!
Parry & Co can burn in hell.

I've got a stuck character key so have lost a letter...... but I'd just like to say that Gibso feller has proved to be a cut above the rest..... ?

I must send him a thank you letter . In it I'll thank him for an extra 2 million quid in loans, an extra 2.5 million in admin fees,  not being able to sign any loans in January, losing 3 young players for 2 million quid in January, selling the extras for Delap for 10% of there worth, allowing a battling midfielder - ideal for games like tomorrow for 30k, not being able to negotiate contracts for young players or any players out of contract in 6 months potentially losing millions and affecting club saleability, losing potentially the player of the year as we couldn't extend his contract and causing everyone 6 months of stress at the tail end of one of the most stressful 2 years in history.  
Have I missed anything apart from a love heart.
