    I agree, but it must be difficult for them. They are constrained by confidentiality and NDA's, and will not want to put in the public domain anything that might be a) commercially sensitive or b) allienate interested parties, including and in particular the EFL. Not really sure what they can say other than what they have, offering additional assurances to all fans that they are fighting the Club's corner whilst being mindful of their legal duties to obtain the best return for the Creditors. Its a minefild for them to pick through, and frankly (not they will say it) the relevance of the fans in the actual process is actually very low. Glad its not my gig. I bet right at the moment they probably wish it wasn't their's also ?

    From the latest statement:
    ‘… providing additional time to seek clarity on the claims from Middlesbrough and Wycombe’
    How much time do they need to seek ‘clarity’?! You’ve had months! 
    On and on it goes. Trying to keep the faith and stay calm but it’s not easy.

    like one of those hostage statements.. “ I am being treated very well, and I admit I am an American spy not an aid worker. And I’m not just saying that because a gun is being held at my head”.

    Well a month extra for the boys to keep up the fight on the pitch, which to a man they all are doing, let's just hope we still have enough of them by Feb 1st still here, with bayonets fixed to continue the fight ???

    On the pitch, this season has been brilliant. Maybe the football hasn't been quite as exciting as some of our better eras, but I don't remember a time when the players, management and fans felt so bonded.
    It always looks like the players give everything they've got. Really, that's all we can ask. I've never bood at a game, but occasionally it's felt like the players in past seasons deserved it for their lack of effort. Not this season - even in defeat they've all deserved our praise, support and applause.

    I can’t believe it, really.
    The team up against it all, the chaps that are fighting to keep a smile on the faces of everyone in and around the club, are the ones who I have felt closest to as a fan.
    That might not make sense, but the lads that go out there and give it their best for 90 minutes in the first team, the 23’s, 18’s, to me, are the most likeable that we’ve had in a long long time.
    Saw that post about Festy Ebosele earlier, dare I say it it made me feel rather emotional.
    We have a bunch of players who are the most ambitious, determined, down to earth players that we’ve ever had at this club, and it kind of makes me sad that the season I have felt this way has ultimately been this season. I wish and I hope that we don’t lose any more of these fantastic chaps that we have at this football club.
    I thank Rooney, Rosenior, Walker and co, for keeping fighting, for staying grounded, determined, and battling against the odds but honestly, this set of lads that we go out in our numbers and support, are the most genuine, honest and most likeable we’ve had at Derby County football club in such a long time.
    I really really hope we can retain the vast majority of these past this season.
    I think regardless of circumstance come May, come Cardiff @ home, we can look back and see that every single individual at this club, the players, the staff, the fans, have all shown us who they are deep down, and have shown commitment, ambition, determination. The three most important characteristics.
    Be proud of yourselves, and keep fighting against all odds.

    I do think, once all this blows over, there needs to be some sort of memorial that celebrates the people of Derby.
    Maybe on Brian Clough Way as you approach Derby, a huge billboard/Sign with the words "Our City, Our Club" or something like that.
    Just something that celebrates the fact the people of Derby rallied round and saved our club and to show anyone entering Our City, this and the club belongs to the people.

    Thanks for not mentioning it. ? 
    I'm sure most of us can't even remember this incident, and I think it's pathetic of you to raise it as some kind of equivalence with QPR overspending by over £40M, but we can remember O'Neill's professional foul that stopped a potential one-on-one and epitomised a cynical display by a club which, at the time, was itself the epitome of arrogance and entitlement. I also have to say that your supporters behaved without a scrap of humility that day, and for a long time afterwards. 
    No-one would argue that QPR haven't been on a long, hard journey since, and appear to be doing it the right way now. But, after some reasonable contributions, you're falling into the same mindset that I see in most QPR fans on Social Media : that you are the only victims of your behaviour.
    You were lucky you got promoted, you were lucky that PDs weren't a punishment then, you were lucky Mel Morris decided not to sue you for compensation, and you were even more lucky that it wasn't Middlesbrough you beat in that final.

    Exactly this.
    The only way to get people on side is to say we’ve been punished and it’s been accepted. 
    We need to highlight the extent of our punishment:
    - fined 
    - huge points deductions 
    - multi window transfer embargo’s
    - forced to sell off/release key players
    - takeover deals being obstructed 
    Then ask, when have we been punished enough, and can we be left to get on with saving our club without interference?
    That’s the bottom line now!

    I take my hat off to @Curtainsfor going on TalkSport and fighting our corner, but just a thought. Nobody in the football world is going to have even a smidge of sympathy for our points deductions, either for going into administration or P&S breaches. They aren’t going to care too much regarding the amortisation technicalities either. They will consider we (Morris) was trying to gain some advantage, and fwiw I think he was too.
    We should begrudgingly accept that is where we are. It isn’t going to change. For those getting air time, or writing to MPs or newspapers, or tweeting, the message we should be giving is that we accept our penalties, but those penalties awarded by the EFL should be the full and final penalty.
    1) Other football clubs shouldn’t be allowed to pile on - it hasn’t happened in the past with QPR, Leeds, Leicester, etc.
    2) We didn’t go after QPR when there was a more evident case of similar wrong doing.
    3) The current spat is a personal battle between Gibson and Morris.
    4) What justification is there for Boro & Wycombe to be considered football creditors, when to date they are only unsubstantiated claims that the EFL know little about.
    5) The Administrators should be able to proceed in accordance with the Law of the Land, not be beholden to ill-written, and out of date, EFL rules and regulations.
    6) If this is happening to Derby now, it could be happening to your club next.
    These are more important, more powerful points to be making. They are more likely to have a great affect on how we move forward.

    I'd say the arguments against (to convince outside people) are even simpler:
    Wycombe: we complied with every timescale we were given, bar one minor extension which made no difference.  Wycombe's argument is literally that we should have complied with our punishment before we were even found guilty of *anything*, which is clearly nonsense.
    'Boro: They are trying to re-run EFL disciplinary cases because they didn't like the outcome. The cases have been run. The punishments have been handed out.  'Boro wanted to join in the appeal to claim they were specifically harmed, and were denied by the panel. The opportunity to hand out compensation was within the power of the panel and they chose not to.
