It's things like this that are the EFL's additional price for allowing us to exist as a club, when their 21 points deduction has failed to guarantee relegation. The corrupt nature of it all makes me furious.
Do we have a choice but to give in to the EFL blackmail? It seems not. In which case, Jason goes with our blessing and love and respect, and let's hope we get the highest price possible so we can keep hold of the others.

He is from now on and that's another 10M. Fact.

If Rooney goes get Warnock in. He’d probably work for free if it means he gets the chance to keep us up and stick 2 fingers up at Gibson. That would definitely finish the pube headed wobble gob off. 

Shame, I was just about to order another G&T.

Whilst I appreciate it will be likely treated with contempt - I have sent the following email to Mr Parry and Mr Birch - it will get us no further forward I’m sure - but at least I’ve got it off my chest!!!  And now I can get behind the team this afternoon.
See you at 3pm COYR!!! ?
 
“Like many other Derby County fans - I gravely concerned by the current situation threatening my football club and I hope you are able to provide some clarity.  In a statement issued by our Administrators they state: 
“The difficulty and currently, in our view, the last remaining significant obstacle is to deal with certain claims that are very much disputed but which we are being advised by the EFL cannot be currently compromised notwithstanding statute says otherwise.” 
It is this paragraph which concerns me most. In essence it appears that the EFL Board is overriding statutory law in order to punish Derby County beyond what is fair and reasonable. I’d therefore like to ask the following:
1. Is the statement made by the administrator’s of Derby County FC factually correct? 
2. If so, can you confirm which body within the EFL has reached this conclusion?
3. Can you provide confirmation that this body has full independence in so far as any member of the Board or its nominated sub-committee which maybe presiding over this matter is not conflicted by way of ownership / interest / contract / membership of or to any of the parties bringing claims against Derby County?
4. Can you share the specific articles of law or other legally binding agreement that are being relied upon to override what might be considered statute. 
5. Please provide evidence of how the EFL is acting impartially and has applied lessons learned from the sad demise of Bury FC in the handling of this particular matter. 
6. Please provide evidence of how the EFL is working to protect the interest of the thousands of innocent football fans affected by this ongoing punishment of Derby County Football Club. 
On this point, it should be made clear that Derby County is more than a name, more than a pawn in an egotistical, power play - it’s an important part of many peoples lives - it does a huge amount to support the community it serves. The majority of these fans are victims and are angered and frustrated at the prior owners handling of matters. 
So my final ask, is please do not let the actions of the privileged few be an incentive to punish thousands of innocent victims. The mental anguish you are causing the thousands of people now needs to stop. You have a duty of care which extends beyond your fiduciary duty to the member clubs.
Many thanks for taking the time to read this note.”

I thought it was rparry.scousecunt@efl.com.

No it’s the EFL 

Tom Lawrence you beauty!

Haven't cried like this since the last death in my family... I love you Derby County and I really hope that one of the parties interested is willing to take the risk on our amazing club.

Didn't want to break Dry January after yesterday, as it would have just been depressing. 
Now? Yeah, now I'm breaking it.
Another phenomenal showing from a side who have no right to be doing what they are doing. Utterly heroic. 

Sat here in bits again. My dad is really really ill and his bad days seem to coincide with bad news Derby days. He is Derby through and through and I'm not sure he understands or is aware of the off the field stuff now but I know later watching those goals on Quest with him how he will light up as little else makes him do now. That is why we have to save our club. It is not about amortisation, stadium sales, law suits, points deductions, etc. it is about watching those goals with my dementia-ridden dad and seeing his happiness for a few minutes later knowing we're off the bottom. The wonder of dementia is he will have forgotten tomorrow so we can do it all again several times. So duck the EFL, Morris, Gibson and the nobody chancer from Wycombe. We are better people than all of you and how dare you threaten the existence of our Derby family. 

Someone called Adam Boddington (very possibly on here) has created a petition asking for the Sports Minister to look at the situation between Derby, Middlesbrough and Wycombe. The EFL is mentioned in the petition title:
https://www.change.org/p/sports-minister-for-england-sports-minister-to-look-into-the-ongoing-situation-between-the-efl-Derby-county
Well done Adam for starting something off.

Stinks to me like the EFL are telling the admins one thing and the press another. 
Like they’re trying to paint the admins as incompetent 

Someone doesn’t like gibson ?
 

It's really ethical of the EFL to include Boro and Wycombe's petulant claims as footballer creditors when so many real creditors won't have been paid and may never be if we cease to exist due to this. The games the EFL are playing impact more than just us as fans. 

Why do you keep sticking up for the EFL ?? The admin are doing there jobs the EFL are moving the goalposts simple as that …it’s a disgrace so stop defending the EFL ffs 

Mate. You must be trolling with these comments (you’ve made a few, but I just grabbed this one). 
 
The information available to us points to the EFL being the one holding things up. 
 
You keep saying they haven’t added anything, or they are just following the rules. That they aren’t stopping the admins from accepting a bid. 
 
But those are precisely the things that have happened- as proven by the Admins  statement today (and honestly been backed up by the actions/words of Rooney and such).
 
The statement by the Admins. Rooneys comments about things almost finalized, and moving to re-sign and find new players.  Even ole Alan Nixon said the EFLs position appears to be extreme.
 
I don’t understand how you could think the EFL are just hands tied innocent (as your posts seem to suggest) in this situation.

I have heard this as well from a fairly reliable source.
I think the EFL also are concerned that Ashley has the clout to create change as well within the EFL. (putting it politely).

the admins will use the cash to keep us as a going concern. ie fund the rest of the season   And MSD would want them to 

Why is it not also the EFLs job to keep DCFC playing football as a member of the club?

Bit of relief on this crappy day , just overheard my dad screaming down the phone at someone, he’s only gone and got through to  the EFL’s head office ??  

You can, but it's frowned upon to say it every single time you post. Makes you look a Bamford. We get it. 
 

I think we need to see the Quantuma statement before we can make any judgment.
If Ashley is involved, and I’m sure he is as there is too much noise about it. This is going to get a whole lot more painful before it gets better.

The Jagielka issue is more likely to be more of a problem for Jagielka. If he was to play tomorrow and get injured, badly injured, and his contract expires 17 January he could be out of the game with no money for a considerable period of time. Shame, but Stearman will do a good job for us tomorrow. Jags will hopefully hang around the club a few days until the proof of funds has been lodged/accepted, and he can sign up again till the end of the season.
