This suggests that the EFL want to make a serious point to teams that not paying players will not be accepted. Fine with that. We missed one months payment, so we get 3 points. But it’s the one and only time it has happened so it’s suspended for a year.
The only worry is if another takeover becomes delayed and the same issue happens again. Other than that, I’m ok with this.

We haven’t got many left to pay, so shouldn’t be a problem.

Bit knackered today but when I get around to it, boy am I gonna have some fun with this ?

Come on…don’t sit on the fence ?

Done. Takes about 10 minutes depending on how quickly you read and how long an anti-EFL tirade you add at the end! ?
Mods @GboroRam? Suggestion is a separate thread for the football governance questionnaire?

Just done it. I think this is worthy of a separate thread so it doesn’t get missed.

At the risk of instigating an unintentional DDoS attack, I thought some of you might be interested in this as a somewhat productive way of channelling dissatisfaction with the EFL
 

Like what you did there ???

So once every 8 weeks with the possibility of a third one in the winter? ?‍♂️

Yeah but in my defence, I do use the Covid double-jab technique ?‍♂️

Drinking 6 halves in 5 minutes is easier than 3 pints and you are less likely to throw up, (old Derby mile trick)

Our defence.

Give the a lad a chance if he signs what the harm in having a look at him first and see what happens it could be a good thing.

He knows every call he makes could lead to him being given the chop. The majority of the calls he's made have been disagreed with, but they've also turned out to be completely the right decision.
Consecutive tournament semi-finals for a country who before his reign managed one semi-final in 50 years. Whether he's the greatest manager out there, or doesn't exactly play edge-of-your seat football most of the time, he's doing what the FA want him to do. It's one of the hardest jobs in football because there's already about 55 million England managers out there who think they can do better.
He's also an incredibly likeable bloke, and he's bringing back a feel-good factor and uniting the nation yet again. Whatever happens, I think he's been a brilliant England manager.

Should make negotiation easier, cuts out the bull-poop phase of “I want £100k per week and an aircraft carrier for my pet turtle”

The weird thing is, going into last season, I thought we were a striker short of being a very good squad.  We'd kicked on under Cocu from when Rooney arrived, we'd addressed most of the major needs in the squad (with Matt Clarke back, Jozwiak and Marshall), we'd sold an asset but replaced him for a fraction of the cost (Byrne for Bogle) and so on.  Obviously things didn't pan out that way. 
This season, if you look at who we've lost compared to last season, it's only really Matt Clarke (who was excellent again) and Waghorn (who was poor for most of the season).  We've lost quite a few warm bodies - Gregory scored a few, Roberts showed the odd flash, bits and bobs from Menghi etc.  But bar Clarke, is there anyone that we've lost that will *really* be missed?
Obviously we're not in a good position at all, but there's plenty of reasons to think it can be turned around.  We desperately need a striker and 2 central defenders, but beyond that, the first XI isn't too bad.  Marshall/Roos, Byrne, Shinnie, Lawrence and CKR are still decent championship players. Jozwiak has had a decent Euros and should hopefully either be more settled and kick on, or be sold for a decent amount.  We should hopefully have Bielik for more of the season than last. Lawrence missed a lot of games last season too, he was missed. Knight, Bird, Buchanan have all got another year of championship football under their belts. Sibley started to establish himself back in the team towards the end of the season. McDonald, Ebosele, Watson etc have started to get first team football.  It's reasonable to think we can get 3 or 4 loans in relatively easily. With Rooney's name and a guarantee of first team football, I suspect we'll have a fair few top-end prem youngsters here.  And given the state of the transfer market, there are going to be a lot of players around on free transfers, so we can pick up a bunch more experienced warm bodies, if we need to.  
I'm not trying to gloss over the state of the squad, but it's not an unfixable problem.
