Bloody hell!!!

Long throw bouncing ball - defensive error - Warneball at its best....

It’s Fleetwood at home on Saturday, I’m meant to be coming up for it, might stay home and wash my beard instead (not a euphemism)

Sorry this game is driving me to drink - meant to say I don't think he'll make the Peterborough game.....

Thanks for correcting me!!

I mean they’re both equally incompetent tbf

I'd take the ref as manager over Warne right now.....

No hope, no clue, no chance - Warne will be sacked after Fleetwood annihilate us on Saturday 

Are the fans chanting 'you dont know what you're doing' to Warne or the ref?

We were bad to start with and the tactical changes Warne has made us worse - the man is a joke. Was carried by Roseniors signings last season and the more influence he has had the worse we have become - since Xmas & now into this season we are a bottom 6 team

Tactical buffoonery = Warneball

Kept my council on this for long enough - the players are fine. The problem is Warne - he is not putting them in a position or system to succeed. It's patently obvious tonight the players aren't playing for him & dont believe in what he is asking them to do. No shots on target & no pressure built up.

Really wanted him to succeed but we've seen tonight he is woefully out of his depth against a manger with more progressive tactical nous. Doesn't matter who we sign - even if we brought in 4 or 5 more players it wouldn't make any difference.

Warne has to go now - this is on a par with the worst Pearson served up. Since January he has taken the team backwards & this is a squad of his players. If I were Clowes watching tonight I'd pull the trigger - I don't care who replaces him, he's clearly lost the dressing room & time to move on...

I seem to recall something during the administration process that documented that the 5.whatever million we owed Chelsea and his £1.5m per annum wages were an issue. I could be wrong and getting my wires crossed but seem to recall that being documented. 

Chelsea???

are we now paying other clubs for players from Arsenal……😂

Paul Ince in caretaker charge at Reading - our chances have just got better!!

With everything now being geared up around little Tom & Mrs Ince heading up their scouting network we might only need another 6 points to stay up

Here's hoping they appoint him to the end of the season!!

I agree. And if people think the EFL won’t have the balls to apply a 15 point penalty if the minimum thresholds aren’t reached, then I would respectfully disagree. 

Then we'll have to respectfully disagree

EFL rules around minimum thresholds for creditors are not aligned to the law of the land & out of date legally(fact)

Therefore if they choose to enforce a 15 point penalty it wouldn't stand up in a court of law

They wouldn't have the balls to enforce it

At least -15 for not paying the minimum stated in the EFL's insolvency rules, and ultimately at pain of being expelled from the league.

It's not just a decision that squashes the claims, it's the "cross-class-cram-down" that is intended as last resort next to liquidation. It's not a good or easy solution.

They wouldn't dare do either - the public & political outcry for further penalising a club for coming out of administration via a legal route in line with the law of the land would be too much for them to enforce - especially when there rules are already out of date

I think the legal thing the administrators want is court ordered restructuring of the debts.

Doing that isn't covered in the EFL rules (the EFL rules not being up to date issue)

Doing that is bad for everyone who the club owes money to (bad thing)

Gets us more EFL penalties (bad thing)

Crushes MFC and WW claims (good thing)

Means a buyer can buy for realistic price with certainty (good thing) avoiding liquidation (,very good thing)

Might not get the court to agree (very big risk)

The EFL don't have the balls to give us more penalties on top of everything else - we'd just threaten to sue on numerous grounds (out of date rules, delaying exit from administration etc) & they'd crumple like a pack of cards.

Most important thing is to come out of administration by legal means & then deal with whatever comes next

Perfect - Boro & WW claims will get laughed out of court, the EFL's inadequacies will be highlighted once again in public & we can finally move on

No way are the EFL going to remove our 'golden share' and kick us out for doing this - the legal battle & negative PR that would follow would scare them s**tless. They don't have the bottle...

Festy is a top guy - with a heart as big as this he deserves all the success that may come his way in the future whether thats with us or not. Reading this has made my evening and restored my faith that footballers can be a positive role models ?

Hopefully the meeting finished this morning and the DCFC media team have been busy doing interviews with preferred bidder.. maybe they had to wait some time due to being in different time zones…

Ironic the final bit of the BBC report showed Waghorn scoring a goal in the FA Cup

Bet Gibson loved that!!!!

Feature on DCFC about to be on the BBC1 6 o clock news - any minute now....

If Boro and other claim allowed surely we can claim against them and EFL for lost transfer income on the players we are losing due to them delaying our sale and not letting them sign/extend due to embargos? Would have more grounds than their claims against us

Did I miss hearing previously that 'The Appleby bid' was also happy to take on Boro & Wycombe's claims should the need arise? Starts talking about the bids at 19:40.

Yes but remember those words came from the mouth of Natalie Jackson - I'd take it with a pinch of salt Roy!

Rather than say what I really think, I'll be kind and say she gets easily confused bless her ?

Question - football creditors get 100% of money owed, with us reported to owe Arsenal 8m for Bielik.

Do we have to pay all that 8m in one go during this admin process? As those payments would have been staggered over X amount of years had we not gone into admin.

No - we dont have to pay it off in one go. We can continue to pay off at the original phasing agreed at the time of the transfer however we will have some catching up to do in the summer as because we were in administration Arsenal allowed us to delay the last payment that was due a few months ago until the end of the season.
