Presumably if the two clubs don’t take up MMs offer then he could indemnify the bidders against any costs resulting from the claims thereby removing the perceived risk to the new owners.

I have spent my career in the world of commercial disputes and how to solve them. If I was the preferred bidder ( and I hear on the grapevine it is Ashley) I would get my lawyers to delve into the potential claims against us and, assuming they are as frivolous and vexatious as they appear to be, I would say to the Administrators that the claims do have substance but I am prepared to take the risk on board, but at a reduced purchase price, buy the club and then tell Middlesbrough and Wycombe to litigate against us. Then we would see how much faith they have in their cases.

Doesn’t really matter if it’s arbitration or litigation the premise still stands. Admittedly arbitration is often called rough justice, as rogue decisions can be made but in my experience you cannot prove any case based on what potentially could have happened. A case has to be based on definite loss not wishful thinking.

Wow! James Daly. Just wow! Thanks to all the MPs today but he was PASSIONATE! Tear in my eye just listening to his speech. Bloody marvellous!?

The procedures for settling disputes between clubs is CLEARLY set out in the EFL rule book - it's Arbitration via a League Arbitration Panel. Of course, that would take a few months to sort out and the outcome for the Claimants would be highly uncertain. Their tactics have been clear from the outset : to obstruct the takeover process and try to force the Administrators to settle with them without them having to prove their case, because they must surely know that if £51M was added to the unsecured creditors list, they get sweet FA. The EFL are bricking it because they know that they carry a share of any liability for the delay in applying sanctions and because of the flood gates that would open if these claims aren't binned.
Far from being lauded for sticking up for their clubs, Gibson and Couhig should be getting pelters from everyone in football for their cynical opportunism and where it could lead. 
And like others have said, the only way Boro and Wycombe can legally be considered creditors by the Administrators is if a recognised Court makes a judgement in their favour, or the Administrators or a prospective owner agrees that they are. 

"Tell Ryan to stuff this down his socks, it might stop the ball going through his legs."

Well Mr. Morris, i wonder how you are feeling just lately regarding DCFC.
If you had concentrated on "your" club instead of being besotted with picking fights with the EFL you would have seen your aspirations  of half the team being made up of academy players realised and taking the credit for it.
As things stand at the minute those young players who play with heart and soul every match may well be sold to rectify the mess you left us in.
I hope you are happy with yourself Mr. Morris because i'm certainly not happy with you and that's putting it mildly. I daren't post what i think or a ban would be coming my way.
Happy New Year.

Everyone is really growing into the challenge.
Well done Wayne, his staff, all the players from the rookies through to the 600+ game old stagers and especially you maniacs who roar the side on, forcing them to believe, to have no doubts.
Oh, and phuk the EFL.

Just about scraped myself off the ceiling - ooh, err matron!
Great team selection tonight, another fantastic blood and guts performance from the lads, laced with no small amount of good football too. Further credit to Wayne and the coaches; the right subs made at precisely the right time. Full kudos, they got it absolutely spot on tonight in every regard. 
For my part, I can't help but love this squad. For years now, even under Mac1 when we had a seriously good footballing side, we always had something of a soft centre. These lads, however, are tough as teak and are showing just the kind of gritty resolve we've so often lacked. In an era when most players seem to be all about themselves, these lads play for each other and the fans. Just watch how they react to every challenge, every save, every goal and every point secured. We talk about pride in the shirt and rightly so. These lads have it in spades. And what about those fans of ours! Our lot are now indisputably the most rabidly fervent collective of madheads anywhere in the EFL. No contest! 
All these elements combined have topped off a wonderful festive period for me and mine and I really hope for yous lot too. With another 4 days before I even consider doing any work again and the chance to pop another 3 points on the board in the interim, this has been a holiday I'll not forget for a long while and I'm bursting with pride for this maddening, yet wonderful club of ours. Folks have espoused the opinion that suitors would be mad to invest in Derby County FC. Personally, I think they'd be mad not to.

Goodbye 2021, without a deduction this team made up of freebies and academy players would be 13th in the Championship, just 8pts off the top 6. 
Build the Rooney statue now. 
First job in management, everything he's had to deal with, incredible job he's doing. ???
 

The vaccinated?

I welcome this, its not about you, its the people you potentially infect, the elderly and vulnerable including your relatives.  People are still laughing at masks and not trusting vaccines, that fine, you have a choice, but so does DCFC and they have a duty of care to their fans!!!  Just as you have a right not to be vaccinated or want to wear a mask, DCFCs has a right to refuse you entry! 
At least we are not at the point of compulsory vaccination like some countries in the EU.  You 'still' have a choice, life is full of choices, but, you need to accept your choices sometimes have consequences.  I've personally had 3 jabs and the flu jab, why to keep myself and my relative safe.
Its simple if you want entry get jabbed, if your not exempt and don't want to get jabbed, you have to accept the consequences of not being allowed in, its a choice....
An anti-vaxer and campaigner who attended lots of C19 anti-vaccination rallies who lived in Willington, is no longer with us, sadly, he endured a terrible fate on a ventilator which lasted for about 10 weeks and ultimately died. 
Lets all stay as safe ae we can, be it by taking the vaccination or by respecting the rules by not attending the game, we all have a choice!   

Why do you say that about Plange? I thought he looked able to put himself about and physically compete along with having good pace, balls skills and decent awareness.

He’s already been to more games than a lot of people on here?

Morrison did him no favours at all yesterday..he often makes decent forward runs and is totally ignored..
