Ram a lamb a ding dong

At 7.11pm a screenshot of an email between a fan and Rick Parry was posted on Twitter, 7.18pm BAWT tweeted that Parry had confirmed he sees no reason, the tweet I shared on the forum.
There was a lot of doubt and people questioning the screenshot and calling it out as a fake on Twitter.
Not sure if this was where BAWT got their information from, or if the fan was part of the group, I emailed Rick Parry as well at 7.43pm to see if I could also confirm with the idea that I could share a screenshot also.
Would like to believe there is a trust built up where I wouldn't create and send any fake emails out.

No idea! I think Mel has got stuff off his chest, they wont agree, Mel will agree to indemnify claims for club but only if they are considered independently outside EFL's remit. But who knows. I do know all our financial woes would be over if this was being filmed for a Sky/Netflix series - box office gold. 
 
And now on beautiful day in Cambridgeshire I am going to do what we should all do - remind ourselves of what football really is - going to watch my son's school team play. So all try and find a low key match, get some fresh air and get away from the internet (sorry David)

I emailed Rick Parry yesterday morning but not had a response:
Dear Mr Parry,
 I would like some clarification on the statement put out by your organisation on 3rd February 2022 regarding the situation of Derby County.
Point 1, the statement that “no Club should gain (or seek to gain) any advantage within the context of professional football over other Clubs by not paying all its creditors in full at all times” appears incongruent with the fact that Nottingham Forest, were according to their published accounts, write off a loan of £5million during the year ending 2020 with no apparent recourse. Is this an oversight and you will look to immediately rectify or do different rules apply?
Point 2, the statement is clearly prejudicial and clearly insinuates the claims from Middlesbrough and Wycombe are debts. As I understand it they are not and therefore should not referred to, even by insinuation, as debts. They are heavily disputed claims. The definition of a debt is “the obligation to pay a sum of money owed” and at present no obligation exist. Will you acknowledge and release a statement to the effect that these are not debts as they are currently untested? I believe by referring to them as you have you may have prejudiced the cases against Derby County.
Point 3, I understand that the current regulation specifically prohibits taking legal action outside of the EFL framework but that this is now you current proposed action. This will undoubtedly lead to a significant increase in legal costs for all parties, should Derby be successfully exonerated will the EFL cover these costs as it failed in its duty under its own regulations?  
Finally, it is rumoured in the press that several Championship clubs are likely to breach the Profit & Sustainability regulations during the current season. Can you confirm that this summer you will again be using ‘interchangeable fixture lists and will support compensation claims made against such clubs by others?  As several of these clubs are currently occupying places in or around the top of the division so I would urge you to move the Play-offs to the end of July to allow for the participants decided by the Courts.
 
Your current narrative appears to distract people from the lack of leadership and incompetence shown by your organisation by attempting try to turn people against Derby County by trying to rile people against us by continually bringing up the money owed to HMRC. Unfortunately this does not appear to be having the desired effect and it appears you will be on the wrong side of history.
 

Agree with every point made

I did think this but negativity has swamped me today

Interested to see what limp wristed response we’ll get back from the Admins, not that they’ll meet any deadlines or targets anyway. To me they look like rabbits in headlights out of their depths and unable to work out where to start first. 
Tell Boro and Wycombe to get ******, tell them to stick their biased meetings and process of arbitration up Their ****
Go to court, get an answer either way and put this to bed one way or another.
Stop pussyfooting around now and take action
 

I honestly believe if we were looking as though we were going down, a lot of this wouldn't have happened. The EFL are hellbent on ensuring we don't make the "great escape" because it would undermine the -21 points they put on us, and we'd leave them with egg on their face.
"The EFL has no vendetta against any of its member Clubs"
baalocks.

I'm quickly going in that direction - hate everything about being under the stewardship of the self-serving winkers in the EFL. Even with a new owner we'd still be subject to their business plans and other whims so the pain of the last few years will continue. A Phoenix club at least gives us a clean slate under a (hopefully) different governing body......

Yes totally agree that Q need to issue a statement indicating current plans and timescales in response to the lates EFL diatribe.

Agree with every point made

I've had enough, i felt if we could keep our kids, we had a fighting chance, whatever league we ended up in. Now that they are leaving one by one, it's hard to keep positive. The admins are useless, continue to keep Wayne in the dark and lie, they are just self-serving, dragging it out for more money. The efl are cowards, Gibson will not relent until we are buried, Wycombe do not have a case. Duck em all, Phoenix club it is. We will fight to the end, but all we have left is a fight.

The responsible commercial solution is for you to withdraw your claim.

Well I can't sleep as a result of continuously being elbowed in the ribs for snoring so I've decided to get up for a cup of tea. 
I can't help but think the EFL are akin to a bully's sidekick trying to extort the dinner money off a fat kid.
No idea why I think that but that's where I'm at with all this.  I can't see beyond this season.

Before I sign off the night and listen to the missus woes from work, just going to say this, don’t be angry at the EFL’s statement tonight, it’s a positive one for us and it clearly states their position which allows us to move forward with a high court judgment.
Whilst we might disagree on the side they fell into, it wasn’t totally unexpected and we’ve been desperate for them to come down off the fence for a while now, this is better than to continue stalling. 
Quantuma have what they need now, the EFL’s position and proof of funds to see us through the next couple of months, time for court. 

I'd now back a public statement saying the club will take them to court with the expectation of either defeating the claims in full or, if we lose, going into liquidation with us having no intention of paying a penny. Up the ante.
Then we'll see Gibson and co. for what they really are. They'd have to take us to court knowing they'll either win and liquidate us (something he claims he doesn't want to do) or lose and get nothing. 
Play it out in the media.

Sell them at £20, make a huge amount of money towards future protests !

Yes. Actually you make a great point. As this is followed by 'we'd like to invite everyone to mediation' Could imply by that the  EFL don't want us to go to court, but they have clarified things to allow us to. If Q come out and say, 'great, we'll see you in court then' this will move things on tremendously. And they would have every Derby fan right behind them. 

I just felt I needed to say I hope everyone is doing OK through all this. It is perfectly normal to feel stress, anger and anxiety in these circumstances especially when we feel powerless to save our club.
As Derby fans, we are one community and we're all in this together. Stay strong folks, chin up old bean.

They need to come out and say something. This isn’t a normal business- it’s a football club with supporters. They should be explaining what is happening at the moment. They should certainly not sell players without informing the manager! Really poor. 

Now THAT is comedy gold.  Sadly those with the brain power of a single celled amoeba will believe every word.  

Anyone want to bet that whichever way this goes for us the EFL will change their rules to stop it happening again

“Pretty simple” - not wrong there. 

Many means different to majority.... ?

Lad???? I thought it was a woman
