Not his biggest fan but I thought it was a really well-delivered message.

Being at the game yesterday It was only about 7pm when I got back and listened to the Radio Derby Spotscene Podcast.  Ed Dawes's heartfelt , almost passionate call for fan action comment, about a need for more consolidated action was something that really hit home and my did he mean it. Its been a long time, maybe 30years since Graham Richards's  "this team is going nowhere" report that a BBC commentators comment had hit me so deep. Despite some of the negatives ED gets occasionally, Ive already emailed My MP (Andrew Bridgen NW Leics) and he's begun tweeting in DCFC support, this needs Parliament to break up this EFL witch hunt and corruption.  well said ED, everybody, do something... but can we please have a post match consolidation report like Graham used to do. 

I've said elsewhere but I don't know how else to express this, please no second petition! I will have absolutely no effect other than to dilute the support the first one. It would be quite detrimental.

Sadly, as you can see from Boro and Wycombe - and those clubs that tried to form the European Super League, all other clubs just look after their own self interests. They're not interested in the history, the grass roots or even the future of the people's game.

He's sent off for them but the DVLA are dragging their heels

You can suggest what you want, doesn’t mean I’ll take any notice. 
 
Can I suggest you have higher standards of our fans than the cretins they show themselves to be after a couple beers? 

Right, I am obviously the problem then. You all carry on with your crass excuses, I don't want anything more to do with you.

He was clearly upset by it after he came to clap their fans after the match today. I thought it started with their ex-keeper Henderson a few year's back, I don't know why then, but it seems to have moved onto Sharp.
If it's anything related to his dead child (sorry to put it like that, but if we avoid that, I think we might miss the gravity of how awful it might be) then it's totally out of order and we should all be ashamed. 

It doesn’t matter. Twice now our fans have referred to him as a sex offender. Is there any evidence of this because it’s woeful if not. 
 

Tribal idiocy

I wonder what business they did review. Not Derby county or they would have spotted failure coming surely?

Is it possible to get a local law firm (Geldards?) to act in the interests of the club in pursuing legal challenges (pro-bono ideally, crowd-funded if not).  For example, I think the EFL may have received public funding (to administer covid loans) which then potentially makes them subject to judicial review.  Or, alternatively, is there a basis to challenge the EFL on behalf of one or more of the legitimate creditors whose interests are being undermined by the EFL's apparent desire to treat Middlesbrough and Wycombe on the same basis as creditors, when this is counter to my understanding of how administration process should be run.  

When we were blackmailed into taking the extra 9 points. Quantum’s should have made it a full and final settlement of the matter 

I'm not sure they can act so subjectively.  We all have one view on it, that has been aided by Q's version of events.
We're now seeing Rick Parry's comments, of course his are from his angle too.
But if there is a process it has to be followed objectively, Parry's comments suggest that.  So it leaves an alternative angle of thinking.
I'm not saying that they are acting with total impartiality, it feels like anything that can be used against the club, is.  I think the comments of them acting unlawfully, based off Q's comments are possibly misguided though.
I am an objective and pragmatic person, so I try to view things through neutral eyes, as it best places my judgement, that's all.
 

This, but why am I not hearing Tracey Crouch's name, thought she was supposed to be looking into football and reform?
Also, how about clarification that if they are giving credence to these vexatious claims how about....
When a player is wrongly sent off, rescinded on appeal, but it results in losing/drawing a game, surely it leaves the officials open against claims, or games being replayed, (precedent set in FA Cup earlier this season after officials made a mistake re substitues) or compensation.
Same goes with offside goals and missed red cards.
Or as per comments in another thread, the influence any team has had on the overall outcome of a season (Reading last year) that they have been found guilty of ffp breaches, what happens to the league if their results are excluded? Didn't someone say Rotherham would have survived? They need to raise a case the same as Wycombe on that basis.
Simplistically I  know, but surely the only thing Boro can possibly claim is lost revenue from the PO games, and at best used the respective league results to determine how far they would have progressed, what was their aggregate result against Leeds and if they won that, then against Villa (which we know they lost both) so losing finalist at best.
In Wycombe's case, if our points should have been applied last year, then Sheff Weds should have been the year before so they would have survived not Wycombe anyway. As also been said many times, it wasn't us that determined when the points deduction is applied, we had no say in it whatsoever, let's look historically at other deductions held until following seasons, if they affected the relegation positions in the season prior to them being applied then what's to stop all the affected clubs bringing the same charges using Wycombe's claim as precedence?
Surely all of these should be considerations that need highlighting to show how ridiculous the claims are. 

My thinking is to contact the EFL and request clarification on a single point:
Why is the EFL insistent on DCFC settling an unsubstantiated and unproven claim made by Middlesborough FC, as a pre condition to new ownership approval?
