Here's our response:

How has football turned to this? Zero regard for the fans just a bunch of millionaires and billionaires trying to squeeze money out of anything they see as a means for more wealth. 

That is absolutely disgraceful !! ?
I was reasonably calm today until I read that.

Being considered!
"Former England team-mates Wayne Rooney and Frank Lampard are set to be interviewed for the vacant Everton manager’s job as the club move to a new four-strong shortlist.
Telegraph Sport understands that Derby County manager Rooney as well as Lampard are under strong consideration by the Everton owner Farhad Moshiri and Bill Kenwright, the club’s chairman and former majority owner who is taking a key role in the recruitment process to replace Rafael Benitez.
Rooney, who began his career at Everton as a teenage prodigy aged 16 and returned for a second spell 13 years later after first leaving in 2004, has a contract until the end of next season at embattled Derby. "

SSN suggest Lampard will be 'considered' & 'expected to be interviewed', but when running the banner about Rooney it says discussed as 'potential candidate'.

How many ff words can you fit on a banner?

if so it’s interesting that she has tabled her motion to be heard today - she may well have told the EFL that is what she is doing hence that pathetic statement from the EFL last night. 

Three parties have made offers, any one of which would allow the club to exit administration with a substantial payment to creditors.
These offers need clarity, that the claim by Boro and the potential claim by Wycombe do not qualify as Football Creditors.
The football creditor rule is not defined in the EFL regulations, it is part of the Articles of Association of the Football League Limited, of which all clubs are minority shareholders (the golden share).
The football creditor rule is in Article 48, which clearly defines what constitutes a football creditor, copied below from Companies House.
The rule clearly states that it is to cover payments of "debts due". How possibly, can an unproven, unquantified claim such as Boro's be consider a debt due?
If the EFL is suggesting that any claim by a football club or employee, which is unproven, should be classified as a football creditor it would create mayhem. And, bona fide football creditors with debts due, and other preferential and unsecured creditors would lose out as a result.
The EFL can't have this both ways. If they choose to say Article 48 does not qualify Boro's claim as a football creditor the EFL are suggesting they might be sued by Boro.
However, if they choose to say that Article 48 should be interpreted (which is a wild stretch) in a way that Boro should be classed as a football creditor then it is almost certain that the EFL would be sued by the Administrators and the creditors including genuine football creditors, and HMRC for their easily quantified losses. 
The EFL also risk being sued under section 994 of the companies act for acting prejudicially against the interests of a minority shareholder of the football league ie. DCFC.
We need to apply pressure on the EFL to get off the fence, see that their actions alone are preventing the Administrators from getting a deal agreed. 
Article 48 says that Boro's claim cannot be a football creditor and the EFL must state that and stop this nonesense.
"48         FOOTBALL CREDITORS

Currently talking with various members and fan groups privately to compile key points that can be pinned on the forum to be shared with the media and MP's.  

It's definitely true because I saw it. I think I may have even took a screenshot. I thought it was cheeky on their part, but didn't think it was overly insidious. The fact they have deleted it does tell its own story though.  

There's a website for retrieving deleted tweets, I'll have a look on my lunch.

That is absolutely disgraceful !! ?

Did anyone get a screenshot of it?

Pauline Latham is asking an urgent question in the commons between 2 & 3 today - will be live on Radio Derby 
 
sorry if this has already been noted & if this is the wrong thread! 

...and that's the bit that has got her absolutely riled ie the EFL effectively said "don't get involved and don't speak up about this"; she believed they would get back to her if there was a problem - now she realises why they haven't  - because they are "on the side of Middlesbrough" (her words).  We must all get behind Margaret Beckett regardless of your politics; she has principle; she is vastly experienced; most politicians pale against her. Now she's on the case I feel we are gaining momentum and I expect the EFL will start to really feel the heat now. We need a chant v Red Dogs "One Margaret Becket...!".
