    I have had another Parry reply. Fair play to him but he conveniently ignores every direct question I ask which could be simply answered with a yes or no. I have sent another. Maybe he’ll have a look this evening. Unfortunately he missed MOTD last night as he was replying to lots of emails. Maybe he’ll miss MOTD 2 if we keep up the pressure. The tide is turning.

    I know RamsTrust meet with the administrators but does anyone have email addresses for the other groups that do - BAWT is it and Punjabi Rams I think - so I can impart some information to them. Twitter is no good to me, it’s full of Gibsons.

    Keep up the pressure everyone. Write to your MP, write to the EFL (maybe Trevor Birch is feeling left out), maybe ring them or forward the petition to people to sign. Now is not the time to sit idly by. Now is the time for action.

    I agree, but that appears to be what they are saying.

    They could be saying to the administrators "Trust us, we're on your side in this" but then we're back to square one. Would you trust the EFL to stick to their word? I know I wouldn't. 

    No I wouldn’t seeing as not so long ago they said the extra 9 points deduction was the end of the matter.

    Maybe I'm misunderstanding this, as it's fairly deep into legalese and that's certainly not my area of expertise. But Parry's comments to individual people emailing him don't sound to me like they are demanding the Wycombe and Boro threats be settled - not in as many words. It sounds like he's saying there's a standard process in EFL rules which means we should be looking at the internal mediation.

    Wycombe and Boro aren't claims - there's no legal reason that we have to consider their request for payment. It's solely down to the EFL rules that say members with grievances need to use their framework to resolve them, and they won't allow the sale to proceed until these grievances are resolved.

    So why don't the Administrators push the EFL to do that, at the earliest opportunity?

    Then the EFL have to decide if the claims have merit - and if they decide they do, they truly have opened pandora's box on themselves. I think that could be the death knell of the football league, as every team can make a claim that something cost them points, which cost them places, which cost them money and promotion.

    I also wonder how our wage bill is so high, when we've got such a small group of players with a lot of youth and academy stars in there. Surely they aren't a huge overhead on our wage bill?

     

    That’s fine, except they seem to be suggesting that their internal rules are more important than UK insolvency legislation. And they are preventing us from exiting admin and paying creditors, including HMRC. I think they’re asking for trouble and I hope they get it.

    Does anyone know if we can complain to The Independent Football Ombudsman or is it just the actual football teams/officials that can? I had a look but I wasn’t sure.

    I just checked on their website and it says you have to have complained to another body first, then you contact them if you’re not happy with how the original complaint has been dealt with.

    "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"

     

    I am reading that as Q alleging the EFL are breaching their own rules?  Although it's a terribly put together sentence. 

    I’m reading it as Q think the EFL have no legal right full stop to hold us up from leaving administration. I would trust Q as insolvency/admin experts to have a far better grasp of the law than that bunch of donkeys.

    Don't worry about it.

    It seems I've offended everyone by saying that I wish we could get an owner other than Ashley.

    But yes, I've supported Derby County for 54 years..... Of course I want them to survive, of course I want the best for them.

    I do think a forum should be a place for discussing things - and for people to express different opinions. Someone accused me of being naive earlier. Perhaps I am... It seems you cannot offer an alternative view.

    If it's Ashley that saves us, believe me I will be delighted that we still have our football club ?

    For what it’s worth, I totally get what you’re saying about preferring someone else. But I’ll obviously be delighted that we still have a club to support.
