At least you have an opinion Rick Parry has to ring Steve Gibson for his.?

The EFL have painted themselves into a corner they will be overjoyed if this goes to the high court , but it may come back to bite them in the future as other clubs might chose to do the same. 
 
You have to ask yourself “ Why do you need a Governing body when the issues can be sorted in court”? 
 
Again the EFL make a mess of it

MFC and WW are the plaintiffs, they are the ones pursuing their claim for compensation it’s their decision as to how they progress it.
The choices are, I suppose, Arbitration or the High Court if I were MFC and WW I would want to avoid the High Court as the judgement will be solely based on the evidence.
I think we all suspect their evidence will be a little thin.
Arbitration is probably the way they will go BUT we need to take into account Gibson’s hatred of Mel and Gibson,s own ego, so who knows.

Money began to ruin Football when Alf  Common was sold for £1,000 in 1905 he went from Sunderland to Boro, so it’s Boro’s fault?

? This season has been the most enjoyable to watch even with all the problems going on. Credit to Rooney, coaching staff, players and fans. If we could have every season like this i would be happy.

It gives an oppourtunity for the EFL to step back and avoid making any decsion other than Mel and Middlebrough can take this to the High court.  

Gibbo wants to negotiate in order to get his pound of flesh 
Mel apears to be happy to let the court adjudicate based on the evidence
A very intresting stand off

The main issue in all these recent statements is how much everyone supposedly wants Derby county to survive - well now we have a route forwards and the EFL have to take it .
prospective new owners and the administrators know that MM will meet the costs if Middlesbrough and Wycombe win their cases in the high court - Gibson has stated constantly that he will go to court even yesterday, whilst also banging on about MM in every strange statement his club have made. Those two can now go and have that day in court.
Wycombe position becomes stranger by the day as they apparently haven’t even put a case in yet, those as well can go to the High court to settle any claim and get paid if successful. 
 
The politicians see an obvious way out and can now follow through into the EFL if they do not use their ‘Guidelines’ to save Derby County and allow creditors to get as much money as administration can obtain.
The administrators know that they will be able to achieve a CVA and the majority of creditors get at least 25% of money owed and that is extremely relevant.
The EFL have a chance to save a small amount of face by allowing the administrators to move forward with a preferred bidder whilst not dismissing the two claims of the Middlesbrough and Wycombe owners, the fact that the EFL even invited MM to a meeting was strange enough but he has now covered the club from these claims through the high court. The EFL have been given a big wide open route out of the hole they have dug themselves into and their future existence as well as Derby County rests on what they do next - They also have an awful lot of questions to answer about their conduct in this whole mess but thats part of this ending.

Gibson says all he is interested in is the money from the compensation, Derby have no money. Mel has money, and its same case against Mel as it would be against Derby. If Gibson is confident of his case and all he wants is the compensation then the High Court route looks ideal for him.
However,  if Gibson isn’t confident of his case it could prove very expensive for him.
it’s a “put up or shut up” moment for Gibson
