Yeah you’re right, nothing. Not even a general news story. 
Would’ve thought someone like David Conn might be on it.
Disappointing. 

I haven't watched it all but his bit about EFL can't pay our debts off  just shows he doesn't get all the issues we have had and continue to have with the EFL. 

I liked Neville"s passion but he was very low on substance regarding the barriers we face. The EFL is highly culpable and I still remain at a lost to understand their point about protecting the other clubs. Neville also suggested that we are asking for preferential treatment which would open the floodgates for others. Again he is wrong - we are not.

I get that and part of me feels the same, but at the same time I don't want any old Tom, Dick or Harry either (or Adam or Colin). 
I know we're all feeling desperate at the moment and like we haven't got much choice, but need to hold our nerve (which I'm sure the Admin team are doing). I think this whole saga still has someway to run and hope we'll get the best person for the job not just the first one to break ranks. 
If you gave any of us the choice of new owners or no owners we'd all say the same, but also want to make sure we're not in a similar position a couple of years down the line.

The important question which everyone is afraid to ask here is, will this topic challenge the top 2, could Gorgeous George be toppled?  

Surely we’ll need our players until 29 May? #believe #operationpremiership

How great is it that he still goes out and buys Derby shirts.
 

This is down to that deal the EFL did with the PL isn't it?
Where they can just come around academies, whisk them away and leave a curly whirly on the side for us if they haven't played X number of games on a first team contract.

That makes is Delap, Gordon, Sharpe, Kaba, Scanlon and now Williams to Man City, Liverpool, Man Utd, and Chelsea for a combined £3m (give or take).

Wait, please tell me we're not questioning Rooney's loyalty now? The bloke has been through more in his year in charge that some will go in their entire career and stood by us when it could quite easily have gone tits up with the academy players leaving him looking hopeless!
Any Championship manager is taking the Everton job, not one of them would turn it down, but for Rooney he has that extra connection being his boyhood club and won't know if this opportunity would ever come around again.
If this was a Birmingham City, I would get the anger but it's more than that, and if you're honest and putting yourself in that position you would do the same.
Of course we all sat here want what's best for this club, right now that is for Rooney to stay, Rooney has to do what is best for his career and family and Cheshire to Everton is an easier commute which = more family time. Let's not forget here the blokes a human, just like us all.
I hate that he's even being asked, we know the answer and it puts him in an awkward position, if he sits there and says I swear on my kids life I'm not going to Everton and reveals a Ram tattoo on his hairy backside, the Everton hierarchy would get the message and leave him be. He would also look a fool saying yes I want the job, Everton may not even be interested and it's just the media, what does that say to the players on the eve of a game with their local rivals whilst the clubs existence is under threat.
I seriously HATE, that has even been brought up, especially today as we don't need any negativity around the players and management. 

The thing I am most outraged about from yesterday (and there are many) is the confirmation that EFL are demanding proof of funds but withholding TV revenues from us? How does that equate with helping us? 

For what reason? 
It would be a pointless and petty campaign even if successful for no absolutely no gain.
This wouldn't help the club in anyway, nor would it help us sleep better at night knowing he has had OBE removed from his name.

I tend to be more of a watcher than poster but have been busy posting comments to various newspaper articles including the DT and latterly the Daily Mail where DCFC articles pop up. Have tried to post a comment today on the excellent article by Martin Samuel in the DM countering the Middlesborough hypocrisy.
Here is a link to comments made by Mel Morris about Gibson's own form of cheating with the tax loss issue:

I also heard Morris voice this on Talksport too.
MFC received no punishment for their 'cheating' and the loophole was merely closed.
Certainly needs disseminating this point.

Not really as detailed or easily read as the one posted on here…and will ‘lose’ a lot of readers both consciously and subconsciously with her spelling of lose. Loose is such a terrible error. 

I’ve emailed the efl about his open letter 

I've emailed Rick about this but he hasn't got back to me yet.

Yet another Chris Martin thread ?

Martin Samuel is one of the very best sport’s writers in the business. I’ve passed comment on this before but some people conflict the perceived historical editorial stance of newspapers with some of their writers. If you read any of the new outlets front to back you will usually find something well constructed that you can respect, even if you don’t necessarily agree with it. Interestingly enough the current Mail editorial is very anti in regards to the current government and are in full regicide mode, but this isn't likely  to be recognised above people’s tribal views on left and right. 

I’m not crying, your crying ?

Finally some support

Watch this (it’s far more than just the MP’s speech) and try not to well up. I dare you.
 

I’ve never known anything in my life where over a course of a week I’ve gone through the emotions of high literally every hour.
From last Friday morning until now (and I imagine another week or so until I know we are safe for the season) it’ll continue and it’s horrible.
Every hour there is a positive story and a negative story. I think we’re safe, I think we’re not. Like many others, I tend to scroll through this thread looking more for embedded articles as they tend to tell me more or get those hopes up or down.
I hate this.

Not sure why you’ve posted this on our accountancy/legal forum.
