  1. To all you ducking amazing fans for the March, chants and songs on not just the walk of Pride, but throughout the match…thank you…on behalf of the ‘plastics’ I sadly couldn’t travel today but appreciate those that did…many tears were shed at the twitter videos shown and the match….you could clearly hear all the chants ? and then the end…. I scared the poo out of my daughter! 
    love you all ???

    Got an hour on the road only for my other half to ring and say our eldest daughter has tested positive for Covid ? Sensible thing is for me to go home, be a good dad and watch it on sky. Hope everyone has a blast cheering the lads on to victory today COYR ? 

    ? or….let her mum be a good mum and try to get a covid test off someone! I’m sure there will be a few knocking around!

    He's not very popular in Carlisle. He once thought that the managers he kept hiring all did such a bad job that he decided to take over as manager himself. Carlisle got relegated. 

    The bits I've read about him remind me of an English Fawaz.

    Excellent….which players do we sell to his other club for £20mill a pop?

    When I did a stadium tour about 5 years ago it was explained that the seats in the south west corner lower are never sold. Not sure why they said something about a red hot chilli concert or something. That knocks 500 off. Then when the away fans moved from behind the goal to the corner it reduced capacity further, meaning about 1000 seats were lost to segregation. So I think the real capacity is just under 32K

    So it’s being used to pay creditors . Which is what the admin team want. We don’t have any football creditors though do we apart from Arsenal and Lech and neither of them are in the Efl.

    Could this be why they will not rule on Middlesbrough and WW being football creditors? If they are deemed football creditors it could mean they have effectively siphoned off money to save for their own board members…..which might be illegal.

    Do we need to up the pressure. The petition has slowed considerably and MPs have gone silent. Can we all ramp this up and bring it back into people’s attention? 

    Everyone tweet @TheLastLeg    For their #isitok section. They get real results in highlighting hypocrisy, corruption and social justice causes. They also have a massive online following including celebs and sports people as it was all about the Paralympics to start. They love their sport and Alex Brooker is a huge Arsenal fan.

    The rules are deliberately quite vague, because they have to apply to every kind of business that exists.  The requirements for accounting for football player amortization are very different to those for a factory making widgets, or a call-centre company, or a hairdressing salon.

    You are confusing law with regulations. The law is vague to allow for the businesses you mention, the EFL did not specify that a particular line of accounting should be used under their rules, until 3 years later.

    "Derby narrowly avoids regulation by drawing 3–3 to Sheffield Wednesday. Wycombe Wanderers get regulated"

    She also appears to have mixed up P&S breaches with breached EFL regulations (reasons for embargo).
    "Derby has been found to have breached P&S rules three times, twice for not providing audited accounts, and one for default in tax payments. The EFL decide against a point deduction, and instead, fined the club £100,000."
    Later adding a late transfer payment is another P&S breach.

    We were also apparently only forced under a transfer embargo from July 2021.

    Also no mention of the amortisation policy which meant going from being within limits for all relevant periods (up to that point in time) to failing 3 periods (would have been 4 if not for Covid).

    As I said…she would ‘lose’ people at that spelling mistake?

    Thanks for this, 1 thing I don't get though, if the claims are as frivolous as most on here seem to say (I genuinely have no idea what they are btw), then why has it put bidders off? Surely they and their lawyers would look at it, know it's no risk and carry on?

    Because the claims will probably be seen by the ‘independent’ EFL panel, who have already admitted they swerved legal action from Gibson on the basis they went after us.

    Neutral fan in peace here!

    This whole mess (which I am sorry you are all suffering btw) seems to be getting very mixed up with all the information and misinformation flying around.

    I seem to have read the Gibson letter differently than most here thought (possibly less emotionally?) in that to me all it was saying is that this is a complex issue and not just a simple WW/MFC are to blame, lets get together to discuss it - and from his point of view likely agree a settlement I guess.

     

    Genuinely don't understand where the deadline has come from either, seems to be entirely arbitrary to me, but again as external I don't know the complexities of it. Seems to be a lot of incompetent people from EFL to administrators involved though

    Simply put, the claims cannot be legally put or challenged due to insolvency law, the EFL rules on that are out of date, the EFL have not ruled that the claims are football debts, but might do in the future. All bidders have stated they cannot proceed without knowing what the amount might be. The EFL will not set precedent and get involved but have said it needs to be resolved while setting a 1st Feb deadline to provide funding evidence, which is not looking possible without a preferred bidder. The only way Gibson and the ambulance chaser will go away is a settlement, without trial or due process. They know this and are effectively trying to ransom the administration. They cannot in all conscious do this as there are actual creditors in front…if we had the money.

    What I'm struggling to reconcile is - surely, until arbitration/courts discuss the merits and rule that we owe MFC/WWFC, how can they be classed as creditors?

    Anyone help me on this?

    Legally they can’t. That’s the problem.
