How is it possible to ruin the integrity of the EFL?

A new day Lads and Lasses. We are still here, in more than one sense.
Just remember we are Derby County and WFTTE.

That is entirely up to you,comments like that will not make a blind bit of difference to the administrators. Yes it's understandable that people are eager for news but i would rather them get on with the matter in hand and keep quiet putting things in the public domain building peoples hopes up only then to be dashed later.

In this social media age even oldies like me are used to non -stop flow of news and comment on everything under the sun (and moon), there is no escape. Most organisations have spin doctors at the ready 24/7. We soak it up vicariously and become armchair experts in everything.
Administrators normally have no "public face"; without making it seem sinister, they work in the shadows. PR is not part of their skill set 'nor a requirement of getting the task done. So I'm not the least surprised they are not particularly communicative to uninvolved (in a business sense) people like us.

The only thing the EFL care about right now is protecting their own cushy existence. They know full well that if we go under, they are going to come under massive scrutiny, so their main objective is paint the administrators in as bad a light as possible to deflect blame. I think the admins have probably cottoned onto this, because they are point blank refusing to engage in the media-war that the EFL seem to want.

There is quite a bit of irony that after weeks of singing, and protesting, by our fanbase that we should ‘duck the EFL’ when Q put it into practice that so many on here think they are not either communicating well or fulfilling their legal duties correctly. Chill everyone. DUCK THE EFL. We go at our own pace, we go at our own pace, we are Derby County, and we go at our own pace.

Isn't that all they are asking for though? Proof of funds by the mutually agreed deadline?
They can't do the Directors check until they have a name. Are they asking for anything else?
Having said that, yesterdays hint/request/snide dig should have been made directly to Q (Which they may well have have done, of course?) but ONLY Q. There was no need for EFL to throw out that snide statement to the public.

There certainly seems to be a vindictive nature to most of the the comms that come out of the EFL. The blame for this sorry mess lies squarely at Morris’s door, but we must never forget the role that the EFL have played in dragging out the resolution and increasing the stress felt by the supporters - despite their empty promises of trying to help the club…..

If the deadline is today, that EFL statement was done deliberately to cause more stress between supporters. If that’s the case, it’s the lowest of low.

Its just a bit rich EFL throwing their toys out of the pram by issuing a hissy fit statement at 4.17 pm .. when the deadline is not til tomorrow. The same EFL who have issued statments at 10pm whne they thought it suited them, but actually just made them look ridiculous.

Mike Ashley will only buy businesses for a pittance and then run it on a shoestring to make a profit. DCFC can’t be bought for nothing and it’s very difficult to make a profit. I don’t consider him a serious solution for our predicament.

GB SPORTS reacted to Ramarena in The Ukraine War
After spending so much money and time building Russia as a more “western friendly” nation and covertly trying to destabilise the US, UK and by proxy Europe.
I’m absolutely amazed that Putin has thrown all that away in four days and chosen this hill to die on!
After the suffering of Ukrainians the average Russian in the street will be the next to suffer.
I see the cultural reasonings and western imperialistic hypocrisy………..however what’s not been mentioned is that Ukraine holds the second largest gas reserves in Europe, I’m sure securing that away from Europe was a significant factor.
So he now has pushed envelope and this morning has Ukraine asking for immediate EU membership. The exact opposite of what he wanted and this has huge ramifications if granted.
I suppose the upside is then can just add “raine” to all the UK’s old stuff for a quick turnaround!

For me the trick is being lucky enough to be with someone who I have a proper laugh with , I play too much golf but don’t do pubs and boys night out stuff so it kind of balances and the wife gets a bit of peace to get a lie in Saturday and Sunday mornings while I’m on the golf course , back in plenty of time to spend the rest of the day together walking the dogs or whatever ,
if I was ever single again for any unlucky reason I would stay that way though as I’m sure I could never find what I have now or even want to try

This is not a Pop against Wives, There's good, Bad and indifferent from both Husbands and Wives, My Father was a very quiet man, Always kept himself to himself, Never drank but loved his Park Drive and sweets, Mum on the other hand was the vocal of the 2, A tough old bird from Vienna.
I was married for 45 years, 39 years together, It took me a year to get the hang of what wives do, Cooking, Laundry, Putting the quilt in the quilt cover, I'm a master of that art now, I don't peg washing out, That's what a tumble drier is for.
Do I miss not being Married...not on your life, I've chisled a life out for myself that I wouldn't swap for all the roubles in Russia?, Had 4 Lady friends, All of them lovely Women in their own right, But my life is better served being single, Not even arsed about the mating game, I'd sooner have a cheese sandwich.
Enjoy what you have people, Whether married or single life is for living and enjoying.
As Spok would say...Ay up me duck...live long and prosper ?
Just a little caveat here, I spent Saturday in Belper watching Belper town lose 1-2 to Spalding, Had a few beers in the Devonshire, And a few in the Belper clubhouse, A great afternoon was had, My old buddy who lives in Crich who I was with, Had to bail at 5-30pm as his Wife was picking him up, I stayed and made my way home by train and had a couple more beers...yes life is Good ?

Do you seriously expect a blow by blow account of what happens in the timeline ? Social media and all the expectstions it brings has a lot to answer for. I belong to a generstion that got ghd news after it was all sorted. How can yoh possibly say that Q have been doing nothing , why would they publicise what they were doing to all and sundry ? What right do we have to know exactly what is happening minute by minute in transactions we are not part of .....thats not how it works .

Nor me. Why spend £2.5m a year on rent to an external party (to cover MSD interest of 10%), when he can easily buy the stadium himself and rent it to the club, or loan the money to the club to buy the stadium and charge 10% interest himself.
