and this was all presented by Bausor the CEO of MFC - and an EFL Board member!!!   
The EFL have seemingly dealt with the conflict of interest issue by saying MFC are excluded from discussion of those issues and don’t get to see EFL internal papers on those discussions. That’s standard practice and difficult to dis-prove. 
 
The nub is the cases being brought by Gibson and WWFC. It’s very disingenuous of the EFL to say MFC think they have a valid case so who are we to think otherwise and intervene.
We need legal expertise plus MPs to be directed to examine that because that’s where all the deception is. That’s the heart of it.

Any one know what a “Legal Ruling” is as referred to on bbc?
in particular how long does it take to get? And what happens if it goes for/against.
(Apols if discussed already).

I think it's harsh to give any MP making any kind of effort, stick.
 
Reality is they have zero influence over the EFL and what is happening.  Best you can hope for is reform, but that takes a long time.  I take no issue with people raising concerns and issues and challenging them, that's how positive change happens for the greater good.  It should happen more across society in general.
 
But in the immediate future, expecting any of this to have an impact is folly.  

I remember it well - difference here is things have escalated and the fact their rules are, in effect AGAINST the law is the issue.  It's like me being pulled over for jumping a red light and telling the friendly officer that, "ah yes, you say I broke the law but my policy is that if I can see the road's clear and there's no-one coming I can drive through".  Same if they changed the speed limit on a road from 40 to 30  yet I still did 40 but got caught for speeding.  "Sorry officer, I haven't got used to driving at 30 here as it was always 40" Stupid examples maybe but same principle.  Would the policeman accept my responses - of course he wouldn't. I've broken the law. Ignorance of the law is no defence. 

Wycombe's is almost worse for me.  Even if you put aside the issue that there was no possible chance of us being given a points deduction last season (deadline for revised accounts submission was after the start of the season, then there's the whole process after that still to happen etc), they're arguing that points deductions for us should be applied immediately, but the Sheff Weds one should still be applied the following season, otherwise Sheff Weds stay up instead.  They're literally demanding that EFL sanctions of other clubs be applied in the seasons that personally benefits them the most.

I'd say the impasse is also that, to date, no interested party is willing to pay the £100M that is required to cover the "solution" that the EFL want. Some people, perhaps on both sides, need to take their heads out of their arses and start being pragmatic about a solution because, at the moment this is going nowhere but a liquidation where no-one gets their dues paid.
This reminds me of classic brinkmanship on all sides, with the fans and unsecured creditors being used as pawns by those with the power to sort it out if only their egos would allow it.

This is a circus if true - how can you only just find something - what are you actually being paid to do? 

Boro fans are very pro Gibson and anti Derby. The general sentiment looking online is most agree with Gibson’s course of action or are not bothered either way. In any case, Gibson probably doesn’t care what Boro or Derby fans think anyway about this - he wants money and would not be upset to see Derby out of business I’m sure. 
Also I’m not sure trying to appeal to Gibson will work. Derby are fighting for their existence. Action needs to be taken. No grovelling etc. Derby need to stand up to Gibson and say no. I couldn’t care less what Boro fans think and neither I’m sure would the majority of other Derby fans. 

This one is pretty decent

Jeese there must be at least 6 Rick Parrys in EFL house, all of them working 24/7

Just polished a off the last couple of doubles of a 21 YO Auchentoshan. 
Doesn't feel any better, so I'll move on to the 10 YO Dalwhinnie.
Failing that, it's the Jameson, and then Brasso.
duck the EFL.

Thinking it’s going to get some hammer later..

OK let me rephrase my question, until a takeover happens do the administrators have a plan on how to fund the club and if so what is it?

How much dosh has Mel got left. He could salvage his reputation by doing the right thing and at least agreeing to be responsible for the £3 and £2.56 due to Boro and Wycombe. This would provide an indemnity for the new owners. Go on Mel and hand over the ground for £0.00 while your at it.

*If*, for example, HMRC are saying we will only take 100% and the bidders are saying we'll only pay 25%, then I don't see what Quantuma can actually do.  The same with 'Boro and Wycombe, if there's a gaping chasm between what those clubs would agree to and what potential bidders are willing to cover, then again, I don't see what they can possibly do.  They can't force those parties to radically alter their demands. 
I think you have to assume that Quantuma are acting in good faith, because there really isn't that much incentive for them to not.  They risk losing their license to practice if they are genuinely being dodgy, and even beyond that, the last thing they want is a reputation for screwing things up.  If you're after an administrator, particularly as a another football club, would you want the ones that liquidated Derby County?

Quote of the day..

And no doubt most fans from other clubs think we all deserve to feel this way. ??
