It's outrageous that we cant spend money on fees that we raise in player sales. Pure spite. 

If I'm reading the rules right, they can still be subs, they just can't start another game ?

It’d have to be agreed with the player being subbed off, but I’d love it if Wayne made a sub to bring one of the youngsters on after a few seconds.
I know we might end up having to play with less players if we get injuries during the game, but it would certainly make a clear point, especially if it was a TV game, and would be within the rules as they’ve been presented in that document.

I read it the same as you.  And the new rules make no mention of the staffing up if under the limit, it's very much a hard cap of 25. So I think this new rule actively bans us from playing academy lads in the first team (they can only start 2 games), whereas the previous ones didn't.

I think, any player we sign now will count towards the limit. Any players currently registered to us will count once they have started three championship level or higher league games, which of course, most of them already have.

We’re still not allowed the same number of players as every other club, and it’s pretty obvious why they’ve done that.
Other clubs have the ‘Established Player’ rule, which is 24 players (under 21’s don’t count) that have started 5 games.
We have the ‘Permitted Player’ rule, which is 25 players (of any age) who have started 3 league matches in the Championship or above, or any player registered after the agreement.
What they really mean is if you plan on signing some players, or extending some contracts in January, we’re going to stop you playing your youngsters from the start in games as they will count towards the 25 players if they start 3 games.
Basically we’ve taken a massive punishment and we’re STILL being made to play by different rules to every other club in this league.
Disgraceful.

I’m glad the administrators are appealing the deduction, it may not work, but I think it has a good chance when I read the rules on the EFL site.
If they have the proof of the bits in bold being true, and I’d have thought the accounts would show this very clearly, then why wouldn’t you appeal it?
This is different to Wigan’s situation that keeps being mentioned, their owner bought the club during Covid, you cannot argue they did their due diligence when we were already in lockdown when they purchased the club, they at the very least would have known the possibility of it continuing at that point.
I think you have to ask yourself, prior to Covid would you ever have anticipated what happened? Around 18 months of no one being in Pride Park, losing two thirds of your income but still having to try and cover all of your outgoings? I know I wouldn’t. How can you possibly have a contingency plan that covers that large an amount?
Yes, other clubs have lost money too due to Covid, but this isn’t about them, this is about how it affected us and us only, and is subject to the rules above. I think it’s best to ignore the noise from fans of other clubs.

Some lovely football being played by our youngsters tonight.
Dixon, Thompson and Watson playing well in midfield. Beautiful slick passing. As with the first team, the finishing isn’t quite there but great promise shown.

Good interview, he’s always seemed a really nice guy, glad that he’s doing ok and is ready to go back into management soon.
Although I’m not sure my translator is the best!

Yes all these companies have guaranteed the same MSD loan and given security over all their assets in support 
yes Mel could pay off MSD to get control of the stadium. But the company that owns it still owes the club a substantial amount in deferred purchase price, which he would also need to settle. Not sure from his interview what he’s planning 

I have so much respect for what the Bellingham’s did for Birmingham, apparently all through the process of the move they made sure to do what was best for Birmingham too.
Imagine if any of ours had done that for us, we wouldn’t be in this mess.
It’s sickening it really is.

I guess we can see now why Birmingham 'retired' his shirt.

That winding up order was withdrawn 6 days later.
