Who's the typist, Who's the typist, Who's the typist at the back?  

The EFL and Boro dragged Mel into it again by calling him out in both of their statements. They got their wish. 

If Mels going to take EFL/GIbbon  to court lets contest the -9 point deduction while we are at it then as it seems that was unfairly given out reading Mels statement 
 
EFL not fit for purpose!

?QC, give us a wave, QC QC give us a wave ?

If it does go to the High Court, any chance they could put it on Rams TV? It'd be a great watch to see Mel and Gibson going at each other. Well worth a tenner
 

A key point from this is that in the EFL’s own rules it says member clubs cannot pursue claims against other member clubs and only the EFL can do this.  As the EFL have been so adamant that they have to apply the rules for fairness towards all 72 member clubs, why not for this specific rule???
 
I wonder!!!!!!

So the EFL release a statement saying they want everyone round a table to resolve it, including Mel. Mel offers a possible solution. I can’t see how they can now exclude Mel from proceedings. 

Am I a fan of the Q&A style statement?
In truth, most definitely not.  But in the case of MM's latest offering, I have to say it was beautifully laid out.  Rather pleasing on the eye, one could say.
Notwithstanding the above, would I agree in general, to those comments as quoted by @RadioactiveWaste?
I would be most satisfied if I were to never see another open letter/official statement written in the Q&A format, and am therefore happy to concede that I do indeed agree with the commenter's comments.  

Didn’t Arsenal defer some of the Bielik fee to help us out?

Feel free to merge this...but having read so many genuinely distraught posts recently,  I wanted to say something positive derived mainly from listening to the depth of feeling coming from thousands of fellow Derby fans.
I read a lot autobiographies and a recurring theme is recovering from adversity and becoming a better, wiser and more grateful person.
So...I can honestly say I have never been prouder to be a Derby fan...and I have never felt closer to the rest of our fan base.
Mel has offered a glimmer of hope today, that will possibly be snatched away tomorrow ....but as the cliché goes its always darkest just before the dawn.
We will emerge from this a tighter band of supporters and one day look back and see this as the period when we emerged as a better group of fans.
It's a lifetime commitment...lots of angst currently but there will always be a team and us to support it. 
I listened to an old Eddie Hearn podcast with Ant Middleton today. Ant said that the moment he was told he would serve 8months in prison was the start of him feeling OK. He knew his fate and could start to build for the future knowing what he had to do, just glad that he was back in control.  That's our problem...absolute morons and vindictive tools are messing about with our emotions.
Hang in there everyone, soon enough we will know our fate and whatever the league we will have a team that we can follow and brighter days will come and we will enjoy them all the more.

1-0 United 
up yours Gibson 

Don't sign anything yet Festy..

So EFL went back on what they’d agreed with MPs. Who’d have thought that was possible ?

What the duck have I done?

Gibson would probably sue the bin for preventing Boro getting in the play-offs. Apparently, Pulis wanted to sign it on loan.

Forest fans in the bin please

So glad he didn’t buy us

This is ducking outrageous. I hope this has sealed the EFL's death warrant!

We are currently an easy target for a corrupt organisation like the EFL and it’s puppet masters Gibson and Cuhig to push around. However Morris is an individual of their ilk - a ruthless businessman who is more than happy to pursue a scorched earth policy to win at all costs. That said I’m not sure Gibson or Cuhig have the balls to go up against him. To be honest they all deserve each other - as long as our club can move forward….duck ‘em all!

Reckon they’ll say yes to the media… then drop the claims in 12 months when it’s forgotten about
