Well lads efl and gibson are total bankers and I say you should now think fine take another 9 points off us but one thing you cant take of us is our fight and love of this club we know our fans shall our backs and we shall have theres. We shall go downing fighting to bitter end. Until then we shall do everything in our power to stay up. Or shall be back in the champership sooner than later.

Except the EFL originally signed off the amortisation approach and then changed their minds after allegedly receiving pressure from other clubs.
They didn't accept the result of the first hearing - so spat their dummies out with an appeal.
Continually pushed to have the points penalty applied last season so thus their actions were trying to punish us last year.
Ignoring the above, and going with the black/white - the EFL's rules are punishing the fans and not the owners who are responsible. 
So yes, whilst Morris and Co have done an unbelievably bad job running this club financially, the EFL have also not covered themselves in much glory.

Anyone sitting near an on-pitch microphone needs to make sure the world knows what we think about the EFL.....

We could start a new company, call it Fukda, and sponsor the shirt sleeve just above the EFL badge.

You are correct, it was not a minor offence, it was no offence at all, as concluded by the IDC.
The important thing you are omitting is that we tried to circumvent FFP but fully within the rules.
If you are still arguing that the stadium valuation was an inflated figure I'm guessing that you have not followed the case too closely. 
Maybe the EFL should start challenging the sales values of players? I can think if plenty that have been sold at inflated values. 
Our financial situation is in no way down to the EFL but the fact that we have found ourselves with our hands tied behind our backs for nearly 2 years (let that timescale sink in) lays fully at their door.
We've basically been stopped from operating normally and put in the position of not being allowed access to a Covid loan purely on the basis of unfounded alllegations from other clubs.

Given that we (think) we know that the EFL signed off our accounts for years before identifying the issue and, effectively, retrospectively punishing us (and the consequences of this resubmitting accounts that have put us in the ?), I’m amazed we/the administrators haven’t sought to take the EFL to court ourselves.  I just cannot see how the EFL’s position has been on any way in the interests of natural justice. This is particularly the case, when you think about the ridiculous cases Boro and Wycombe are trying on. 
I’m like a dog with a bone on this, but I also still fail to see why the EFL are so intent on destroying the club. There must have been ways out for them which would have seen them able to punish us and still save safe with the other clubs (eg leaving it at the 100,000 fine, not requiring updated accounts and just being told not to do it again… or something… there must have been scope for leniency and discretion, especially with things like COVID.). Just a massive group of jobsworths. 
Yes, Mel needs to take the lion’s share of the blame for all this as he is ultimately responsible, but the EFL have been deplorable in my humble opinion.
Oh well. Futile rage it is then!

@Archiethe last and final order will be going through next week archie, send me a pm with your email address and will get back to you that goes for anybody else who may be interested, very last chance as will not be doing any more as want to keep them special and unique.

@loweman2have you an inkling to re-produce the caps? 

Good work @Ellafella! The quality is amazing isn’t it, proper old school tailoring and embroidery! A real part of the history of our club and you are now one of the few who owns one, thanks for your support in recreating it and for keeping the heritage of the club alive !

Looks really great. Think I missed this as would probably have put my name down for one. 
Congrats. Lovely. 

Absolutely stunning @loweman2. I want to wear it but simultaneously want to frame it. Thanks so much for this…it makes 1884 seem like yesterday. 

Absolutely. I vomited when Shearer said " "pluck-ee Les-ta" are a fine example of hoo-ta run a football club" after their Fa Cup victory ?

Over the last 4 years in total they are running at a profit I think,  showing the sort of prudence that can cope with a downturn in revenue due to a crisis like covid. Like many Premier league clubs they have the capitalisation and reserves to cope. 
The structure of English football means that some cubs decide to gamble capital and reserves, like all gambles sometimes you win sometimes you don't.
My fundamental problem with the EFL is that there rather pathetic rules and governance do nothing to control the gambles until AFTER the event with punishments that do not help but simply make the job of recovery harder.

How dare you!
 
I'll have know i'm not in the least bit Oxy?

keep taking the opiates @jono?

Well you’re probably too young to remember T Hennessey but ... Ryan Giggs?
