This is it for us i feel, if this gets rejected its EFL headquarters for a proper protest the only way! I can't see them agreeing they've made it clear how much they want to punish us as a club and city.

Clearly Mel played a serious role getting us to where we are but that is a brilliant, open summary of the situation, how we got here and especially damning of the EFL.  Also gives a clear, pragmatic way forward.  EFL and Boro will no doubt squirm like mad!!

Well if nothing else some other club owners and supporters can have a read and maybe reconsider their views 

Well Gibson’s bluff has finally been called.
If, as he protests, he truly believes his claim has legal merit then he’ll accept Mel’s offer.
If he doesn’t, then this was clearly just an attempt to hold us to ransom and make a quick buck from a settlement. Or he just wants to see us go under.

Really sorry to lose Festy. Looks like he will go to Italy at the end of the season . Glad he didn’t move down the road but I’m sure his agent has got him the best deal possible. Keep going to the end of the season Festy.

100%
It's hard enough maintaining the illusion that it's not completely and utterly full of poo. 
But if you take away the one emotional and historical attachment then what you left with?
Do you actually find the PL title race exciting? Do you feel the buzz of Ronaldo, one of the greatest players ever, returning to the Premier League? Do you rush home for that big Champions League clash between Real and Bayern?
Cus if the answers no then you'll drift away from a sport full of justified cheating, corruption, greed and hypocrits. 
What is it without YOUR team? 
It's a load of poo imo. There's only Derby County. 

How dare they use the stadium argument that isn’t even valid anymore god I hate them ???

Gibson demanded to be told details of how much money was proposed to go to creditors including HMRC in the statement put out by Boro (which is absolutely none of his business). Now the EFL want all main creditors and HMRC in a room with Boro to divvy up any money that’s available….
Those of a suspicious and cynical outlook may wonder if there has been an element of collusion between the two parties……

Similar to most people - I didn’t get hardly any sleep 
my morning conclusions are -
The administrators have to follow the law and do their job - the EFL will do whatever they want to do to Derby County with Gibsons permission to proceed.
I suspect the politicians will go after the EFL Hard - telling court appointed administrators that they won’t accept the laws of the land being used and if they were the Football club gets victimised by expulsion from trading in its normal market place. 

Has this been mentioned? Ryan Bourne says on Twitter he’s written to the EFL. This sums it up perfectly. 

This saga is so infuriating, absolute shambles. A football debt is like any other debt surely? Non payment of an amount owed for services provided, whether that be £3.50 for a pint, £200k for a house or £8m outstanding for Beilik. You enter into a contract whether written or verbal for goods or services provided I.e. a legitimate debt if not paid. The amount owed is clearly defined. If one party is claiming they might have made X if Y had / had not happened then it’s a claim for “projected loss of damages” no? So, how the hell does a claim for damages or compensation become defined as a debt?
 
Surely it has to be agreed by both parties that services or goods have been provided without payment? And the value had to have been agreed upon. A debt is transactional. No transaction has taken place. A claim. For loss of earnings has been made essentially. But not a cut and dry loss of earnings in the sense of “I’m going to make £2k this week but I didn’t because I was in a car accident  that was someone else's fault and if they hadn’t hit me I was guaranteed to make £2k”But, in the sense of, “if I wasn’t in a car accident, I might have made £2k, or I might have made £4m or I might have not made anything.” 
 
This whole thing is an absolute farce. The governing body that sets the rules by which we operate has set the penalty as minus 9 points plus 12 for entering administration. So by the logic of allowing the claims by Middlesborough and Wycombe they’re essentially saying, anyone affected by our actions can make a claim for compensation against us regardless of that fact that they as the governing body, have already decided on the offence and set the punishment.
Meanwhile, instead of standing up and leading and helping to find a pragmatic solution or trying to mediate, they pass the buck back to all the parties in disagreement and say “you sort it out”
Absolute flipping nonsense 

You can absolutely go to court to get an injunction, or similar, without a plaintiff serving you.  The EFL have given the admins a statement of their position. If that contravenes insolvency law, we get a court to step in and stop it.

ts a great idea. This lad is already in touch with the Blackpool lot who did a similar thing and has contacted the advertising company that leases the billboard for how much it might cost.
I've asked him to join up on here and you can see what he's doing on Twitter @Simon Whetton.
I used to work with him and he's a sound lad.

Travelled from Iceland for this.... and very glad I did. Made me very proud to be a Ram.
 

Had to look into this with work...around 10k we were quoted for 2x billboards,including printing and placing. Granted timeframe would be longer then required

I’ll definitely chip in for this. Blackpool fans did the same thing previously
