Not sure why Boro and Wycombe are suing us rather than the EFL whom by implication would have been complicit in our cheating. The corporate manslaughter edict must be applied on the other hand that even if the most responsible person in the organisation wasn't aware of malfeasance then this is no defense if something then goes wrong.

Any chance of adding the Linton Travel Tavern to that list?

If they're ready and raring to go then so what.
Administrator's can tell them to spin if they're not offering enough dough and on we go.

Pete scan this thread and see what the consensus is on here.
What any reasonable person would expect was that an owner of a business would not rack up heinous debts without having the means to repay those debts. That's just totally irresponsible.
And then when they realise they can't (or won't) honour the debts that they've racked up use administration to run away from the issues that they've created (zero accountability). That's just cowardly.

The original observation was based around your comments that Morris put the club into administration to protect creditors not how he managed to a rack up a £56 million debt in the first place.
Seems weirdly misguided that you are somehow lauding Morris for doing this.

22 games left have assumed we need 47 points to survive which means we need 37 points from 22 games or 1.7 ppg rounding up.
So if we won 12 of those games and drew one that would give us those 37 points which would be 12 wins out of 22 games = 55%.
Of course there are other permutations to this but this is the most simplistic one, for example if we only won ten games we would then have to draw 7 other games meaning only 5 defeats all season or if we only won 8 games then effectively we could not lose in the remaining ones. 
So 12 wins out of 22 and it doesn't matter what we do in the remaining 9 games as long as we draw one. 
 

The Covid question is a legitimate one. How much has it affected the course of the club? Impossible for us to say. But we can see how other clubs are affected. If we find that most clubs can manage to circumnavigate the waves of Covid without sinking the club, can we surmise that Mel took us too far beyond the point of no return? All clubs had to manage through it one way or another. We're not the biggest club that had income restricted, plus we didn't lose the most money of all football teams - although I accept as a proportion of our funding, it had a major impact. But if other teams can manage to stay afloat I expect we should be able to. From what we're led to believe, Mel is one of the big money players, he's not a financial minnow.
Mel clearly was ready to pass the club on to the next person, as he was unwilling (unable? Impossible to say for sure) to keep paying. I think Covid offered him a great opportunity to stop paying what he'd committed himself to. In many ways perhaps he had little choice - who was going to come in and pay the full costs with the debts the club is carrying?
I think morally Mel had a duty to settle the outstanding bills at his own cost. It wouldn't have been easy, and it may have taken him time to get there. But in the meantime we should have started to cut our cloth accordingly, reduce the wages bill, reduce our costs and maximise our income. I'm sure it's possible to run the club without losing money every month, but it's highly implausible that any club can be competitive in the Championship while breaking even. With HRMC paid off and the club not bleeding cash a sale might have been possible. But when offered an opportunity to blame covid for administration, it likely has saved Mel tens of millions of pounds in total.

Positive for me is the use of the words guff and dreck which I've not heard for a long while ?

Mel boy give it a rest. He said he'd keep funding the club until he managed to find a buyer and then he stopped funding the club, so yet again just another false statement from the bloke. Now we can have a pointless discussion as to whether he'd reached a point where he was struggling to fund the losses as none of us know one way or the other. But putting the club into administration is by definition walking away from the situation. There is literally no other way you can put it. 
On his attempts to sell the club, he was still according to the Al-Jazeera documentary asking for 100 million all in, and 50 million for club minus the stadium. That is not the sale price of a man desperate to sell up, but rather the actions of a businessman looking to secure as much money as possible for a second division club. If he wanted out 2 years ago are you really telling me he couldn't have found a consortium who wanted to buy the club for a couple of quid? 
 

I don't think he's the anti-christ, he's simply beneath contempt for the totally cowardly way he's ran away from the mess he's created and shafted club employees and small businesses and potentially jeopardised the total existence of the football club.
We all make mistakes in life but non of us exist in a vacuum and would have a million times more respect for Morris if he admitted he did makes mistakes but then strive with every nerve and sinew to make them good before passing control of our club to someone else instead of abdicating any form of responsibility for the mess he's left the club in.

Just like he did St John's Ambulance a favour and we had to have a whip round to settle Morris' debts. 
Think your rose tinted glasses are becoming a little fogged up.

Me is well blessed! I was going to have to watch on Sky, then my wife said she’d arranged a day out so I’d have to watch a re-run. But then I got some DCFC socks, a hand-painted BBG picture and tickets to the match, with chauffeur so I can have a few!
Indeed, ‘tis my birthday!!!
