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:

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.

The Gibson issue may go away very quickly if the PB is announced, he is using his claim to slow the process down. He needs his bluff calling, get the PB in then tell him to take it to arbitration/Court if he wants. He knows he won't win any case should he do it, otherwise he would have pushed it further by now. A I have said it isn't about money, it is about getting us relegated. He isn't necessarily greedy, just spiteful.

Have we all calmed down yet?
I reckon you'll only need to hang on for another 6 hours before panicking again and arguing over whether or not the administrators have made the right choice.

Well he was in the England squad on two occasions...

The memberships are pretty good value now, better than previous seasons.
£30 for away priority, with that you also get a scarf, free RamsTV subscription which is usually a fiver a month. 
They are also annual, so if you purchased today and activated it would expire on January 11th 2023.
Say you go to 10 games, it's just £3 a game, and next season if we do go down, the grounds will be smaller with smaller allocations.
It's not just for Forest either, some other games it will come in handy in the Championship, grounds like Luton as well.
Birthday that day so think I'll be buying to bag a ticket easily. Yes it will be my first away game, won't apologise if someone else loses out, the memberships are there for all to buy.
Does help the club as well with the financial situation we're in.

Classic case of good change management communication. Better to tell there's no news than keep silent.
Funny how quite a few members here managed to get themselves to a meltdown-mode after reading AND believing those ducking daily rags. 

This imminent claim is in absolute ruins. ?

There is 1 major update and that is the 2 stories in the paper are bo**ocks and the claims are not holding up naming a preferred bidder. That line was worth the update alone for me as it puts people minds at ease 

Just an observation concerning "our" fans not arsed being knocked out of the FA Cup, It would seem that a lot of fans today can't be arsed about their club being knocked out of the FA Cup...7304 at Bristol City, Sky Sports taking the mick out of WBA as Jeff can't see their fans.
Has the Cup lost it's sparkle? It lost it 10+ years ago imo when United got a bye in the 3rd round when playing the World Championship Final, No replays, Penalties after extra time because of fears that a fixture backlog due to Covid, It's becoming an inconvenience for many.

On Ashley... I think we could do a lot worse.
He's British, a Billionaire, has experience as a football club owner, has a good track record buying companies out of administration.
It means no mysterious behind the scenes money men, no owners from countries with dubious human rights records, no debt or leveraged buyout.
It's a yes from me.

I've no interest in doing that mate as long as you don't harp on about Ashley's business ethics. That was the point you were anti-Ashley because of that but conveniently forgot to put forward the 'Mother Theresa'-like figure who would save the club!
Of course Ashley is no saint but he also isn't as bad as painted in the media and by Newcastle fans. 
When you get off your bandwagon I'll join you on reasonable ground!
