We can try and predict the rest of the season but at the end of the day its 5 points

Until its mathematically impossible, its possible, and we need to believe, otherwise wheres excitement, if you aren't going to have any hope then switch off and come back next season. 
Some people seem quick to want to pi$$ on other people's optismisn just so they can say I told you so

Wow......
I'm going to be honest, I do think this season was almost a freebie, with no transfers of his own really, and a team that was expected to be releagted even without the deductions. Anything other than rock bottom what going to be seen as a success, and you can almost say his team selected itself given the lack of options
But even his biggest critic before this season has to give him some credit, he has stuck around in difficult circumstances when it would have been easy for him to walk without much criticism. He has managed to get a squad of kids, oldies, and scrapheap players and moulded them into a mid table championship team. Everyone at the club plays for him and I actually believe if he walked tomorrow, the players wouldn't win another game this season, that's the togetherness he brings.

Ah, we're back to posting nonsense again. Fair enough, here's a puppy attempting to tea-bag a cat. You're welcome!

Careful now. I haven't got blind faith in Q. I do think though they are doing a lot of a better job than many on here think they are.
The challenges for them are significant. Significant with a capital F. 
Yes, they could improve their communication to fans a little, but probably only by not keep giving updates that lead fans to think substantial progress is imminent. They should be more careful with their phraseology, but whatever they say is never going to be enough for a febrile audience.
I had some dealings with Administrators and Receivers in my professional past, and would suggest that in this particular situation their priority in terms of ultimately keeping people happy is in the following order:
1) Their Professional Body (and PI Insurer)
2) Creditors
3) Bidders
4) DCFC Owner
5) DCFC Employees
6) EFL
7) Fans
The trickyness of this administration is 7). It is unusual for them to have such partisan oversight. Yes they might deal with unions, but this is a great step up from keeping them happy.  The bottom line is they cannot say anything that a) breaks confidentiality, or b) affects values, until such time as they have someone who has contractually agreed to proceed on exclusivity terms (with a wedge of money downpaid hopefully). Even then they will be tightlipped until the completion monies have been banked, allowing distribution. Loose tongues lose money, and leave Q open to great risks of being sued by anyone from 2) to 4) if they do not follow due process to the letter.
Difficult gig this one. Be interesting to see if they want to give it another go when the next Championship club goes bump.

This may not have aged well, but never change @B4ev6is, you keep believing each season, we need more fans like you. 

The debt is irrelevant 
It's losses for ffp purposes
Think I'm right in saying any money spent on the academy doesn't go towards ffp, so in theory a club could be 100 million in debt after spending it all on the academy, but for ffp purposes they'd have lost 0
Someone will be able to tell me if that's wrong though

Deleted, didn't realise it was from Feb last year ?

The real issue we should be worried about is the P1K bug. What happens when we click over to 1000 pages, can the engine handle it? ?

I don't think you understand this purchasing/investment lark. A buyer of a distressed asset will be quite keen to see the value driven down. A long term investor (Appleby group or Ashley) really won't worry too much being in League 1 for a season or two.

As a proportion of his overall wealth Morris is leaving behind more. 

No it doesn't,it's just you thinking it does.

Probably so they can get autographs for their grand children.

On the radio today, a caller phoned in with a proposal to end the Russia–Ukrainian war. Noting that Putin is a huge Beatles fan he suggested McCartney and Ringo do a free concert at the Kremlin if they agree to pull out. Maybe something similar is being planned to soften the deal with Ashley, meet Angelina and One Direction get back together for a one-off Pride Park concert.

To be fair, did you not see a couple of his management appointments, he has form ?

Can someone explain why Q have even hosted those two in hospitality.
I've backed them all the way to do a job, but I don't see how them hosting celebs (or even attending themselves) helps them do their job??? Unless said celebs are involved and adding some value in any way?
Genuine question, why?

I drive past this office on a regular basis
 
Never noticed it until all this happened and I assumed it wasn't linked, as it doesn't look very nice from the outside.
 
I was somehow expecting them to have plush offices and expensive cars outside, not be over the road from home bargains and a walk down from greggs

No buyers are holding back. Bids are in. They are going through the process. They will if they can want to try and entice increased bids if they have time which will prolong the process(they will know exactly how much time they have before anyone comments).
No one has been lying to us, things change negotiations can be complex I think they underestimated the obstinacy of the EFL and Gibson and that was the reason for their first timescales not being met. They are getting on with the job and we will have a PB when they are ready to name one. It is positive we have more than one bidder, if we had no one that would be the time to worry.
