Tyler Durden

Happy Birthday ?

As long as you have your login details it shouldn't be too much of a problem, if I can do it anyone can.

Well l am a Rams Fan, and there were 4 recorded breaches of EFL rules on their website before Quantuma took over. Then there was the Administration process. Oh and P&S overspends in 3 of the 4 last trading years. Morris was wading in his own poo for the last 2 years of his tenure.

One o'clock, wallow in self pity
Four thirty, stare into the abyss
Five o'clock, solve world hunger ?
 
 

Not feeling well the last few days, but currently off work for a 4 day stretch - just done 2 lateral flows. Both positive. Got a PCR booked in for tomorrow morning. 
My Birthday just after Xmas too. Good times. Double vaccinated, booster last Wednesday but probabaly hasn't had time to kick in. I did Google if that could bring up a false positive, but apparently the laterals work off protein spikes and not antibodies. 
The Mrs is testing negative too, just to rub it in. 
Covid round 2.

Okay thanks for the reply, I’m not here to be confrontational, been reading this site for a fair few years (along with most championship sites ) and quite recently have seen QPR mentioned a few times. Not that it helps any I don’t think any team should be suing another. 
I still have nightmares about QPR’s administration and relegation to the third tier in 2001, we had 5 registered players at the start of the following season, had a total rebuild and after 3 seasons got back into the championship.
I can still remember our “rich owners” stitching Derby up with exorbitant ticket prices as you’d just been relegated and deemed to be a category A game.
many of us weren’t happy when Tony Fernandes started buying players we couldn’t afford as if they were panini stickers and I think the other clubs are right to be ducked off with the way our club went.
it’s taken a few years but we are now doing things correctly and are just starting to reap the rewards. However I expect if we don’t go up this year then our young starts will be sold and we’ll have to start the cycle again.
Hope you get a new owner (pay HMRC off) and become competitive again.
merry Christmas to you all.

Don't forget part of the administrators job is to try to make sure the company is viable going forward. Fans make the company viable that's why administration talk to them. However they have to be careful in what they say because of the nature of their job - trying to get creditors to accept less thanks they are owed

Don't be a misery Tyler!

That's onto the clubs to arrange. I would guess a lottery for games where tickets are already sold then a ballot for tickets for future games. Refunds for everyone who doesn't get to go.
There's going to be a lot of grumbling.

How do they choose whom the 500 spectators are every match?

I wasn't trying to be confrontational either, the phrase weasel words is an informal term for words or statements that are intentionally ambiguous.
I would say the same to anyone who labels or pigeonholes a person with a negative outlook a wrist slasher, positive a happy clapper and so on, so nothing personal at all. 

Weasel words? - good grief, I was trying not to be confrontational - though I appreciate that's not in your nature....
Whatever words I used, you're still not entitled to an update......
 

Not sure where you get the 32% from as my understanding is it's 31% of players whom don't intend to have the vaccine but to answer your general question:-
Exeter City manager Matt Taylor told BBC Sport he would not be influencing any of his players to get vaccinated, stressing it was "their decision".
"From my discussions with players who haven't had the vaccine, there's a lot of influences, and they're understandable," Taylor said.
"Whether it be things in terms of enlarged organs, heart problems, respiratory problems, possible fertility issues, they've got a whole host of questions which come up and often remain unanswered.
"I've tried to educate the players as best I possibly can, I don't hide away from the fact I'm vaccinated and am encouraging my staff and players to be vaccinated.
"But it's personal preference and there's a moral compass here in terms of what players are allowed to choose and what they're not allowed to choose.
Derby boss Wayne Rooney added: "It's a difficult situation because everyone has their own opinions on it.
"I've had the vaccinations but some players, some staff, might have their own personal opinions on it," he told BBC Radio Derby.
"I'd personally encourage it, we can see what's happening in terms of needing vaccinations to get into places, but also to stop it spreading and to make sure you're happy yourself and your family.
"I'd encourage it but I can't make that decision for all the players and staff, unfortunately."

There I was thinking that their role was to dig through the mess that Mel left us in and try to pay off as much of the debt as possble - hopefully by (but by no means certainly) selling us as a going concern. Hadn't realised their remit was also to keep the supporters happy at the same time.....

I'm not venting my spleen at the administrators as they are only at the football club at all because of one person but so far they've been really poor at managing expectations.
Cynically too the longer it drags on the greater their whack.

They've done the opposite though. Had it drummed into me when I started my first job that if it's going to take 3 weeks to complete a project then tell your manager it's going to take 4. Cos after 3 weeks if it's not completed then quite rightly they'll be holding you accountable plus you've failed on a timeline YOU set yourself which is criminal. So always allow a little bit of wriggle room for things that could go wrong.
There's a definite skill and art in calculating then communicating realistic timelines that the administrators either have no grounding of or simply aren't bothered that their predictions move like the shifting sands. 

I admire your novel method of reimagining what this season would have looked like, a brave departure from the norm.
Now if only I could convert this weeks lottery numbers I didn't pick for the jackpot for the winning ones I'd be a millionaire! Simples ?

I know but it won't be Rooney's say so if it's a toss up between selling a player to keep us afloat or keeping someone that Rooney wants to stay. 
I have to say the longer and longer this goes on the administrators statements sound more and more like PR spin or hollow government soundbites. 

Since BC? Always thought the club was founded in 1884.

They both have opportunist owners who would have factored that in.
It does come across as very distasteful if that's the correct word.

That's quite a leap fella! I suspect a certain Wane Rooney would have something to say were the admins to attempt to 'pull the wool' in this fashion. With all due respect, I take it as quite the opposite and until such time as there is any evidence supporting your notion, it might be nice to not unsettle folk further.
This said, I share your disquiet at the length of time being taken and also concur with your assessment that they have moved from being very open and proactive in their approach to comms, to being quite the opposite. Has an administrator ever completed the process on time, I wonder?
Perhaps Rams Trust might have enquired as to what their fee currently stands at and what it is likely to be based on the new timeline, if only to make Quantuma aware that they too are under scrutiny and rightly so.
