IMO this is part of the EFL/Boro campaign over the last few days to shift the spotlight away from them and onto Morris. We all know that Morris ducked up big time and it will be a very long time (if ever) before he's forgiven for that, but it doesn't change the fact that EFL and Boro are actively twisting the knife and we should do everything we can to keep the spotlight on them for their incompetent/malicious behaviour.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding but I don't see how buying a load of one-eyed players will help..... 
.....probably be cheap, but be forever being blindsided... ?

I don't think Q have yet had the time to respond to the questions in Toad of Smog Hall's last statement, so I thought I'd help them draft a reply:
1; MSD (a lender) is owed a significant amount of money by Derby County which is personally guaranteed by Mel Morris. If Derby County went into liquidation, Mr Morris would have to settle the debt and therefore he has an interest in resolving the matter. Please confirm the current status of the discussions with the lender and Mr Morris about the debt and the transfer of Pride Park, which is owned by Mr Morris, to any purchaser of Derby County.
Please refer to response to question 5.
2. You met with Steve Gibson in November 2021. It was agreed at the meeting there would be a continued dialogue between you and Mr Gibson. Why did you not then engage or communicate with him at all until Friday 14 January 2022?
Because we'd rather get our nether parts caught in an industrial mangle than spend one second more than is absolutely necessary in any form of contact with extortioners like you.
3. As noted above, you give the impression that the sole issue that is left to resolve is our and Wycombe’s claim. Please confirm that you have reached a settlement with HMRC and the basis of that settlement.
Please refer to response to question 5.
4. Contrary to what you leak to the media, we have made an offer to compromise our claim and met with your nominated representative last weekend. Please confirm that this is correct.
If you are referring to the bagman you sent, we believe that he suffocated on clean air as soon as he crossed Middlesbrough city limits.
5. Please confirm how many millions of Derby County’s money you have spent on your fees to date and what additional debt you have incurred.
None of your f*****g business.
Yours sincerely,
Satsuma administrators inc.

I'm trying to tell myself not to get too excited, we've been here before, so on so forth...

who am I kidding?

Shame his Dad didn’t 

For me it’s blindingly obvious. The EFL has failed in its duty as a governing body.
Mel Morris gambled, failed, and ran out of money. We might have soldiered on with him but Covid threw petrol on the glowing embers. 
 
The EFL however have pursued clubs that breach FFP as if they were pariahs and cheats when in fact they were just clubs with funds trying to compete with the half dozen parachute clubs with so much money following their fall from the prem that they have budgets vastly different from other clubs in the league. FFP and P+S were never anything to do with fairness. 
 
The EFL has been limp when selling rights to broadcasters which hasn’t helped the finances of the championship but has been antagonistic in the extreme towards anyone who has the temerity to question its competence.
When it has been called on to show leadership it has vacillated, dithered, acted to preserve its own status and power rather than the clubs it is supposed to represent. It is riven with self interested groups and hasn’t an iota of sportsmanship in its rotting corpse. It’s lack of professionalism in presenting cases in dispute has at times been laughable, preferring to rely on power and pomposity rather than fact and reason. 
 
In my opinion it needs disbanding forthwith. 

Or they have absolutely no confidence that an EFL led arbitration would be impartial, justifiably so because history tells us otherwise.
