Ghost of Clough Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I didn’t expect anyone to twist the statement, but I underestimated Leeds fans. “The only reason for the statement is... they’re pooping it” and it’s not just the one loon saying it. Edit: one poster even suggested we only made the statement to create a siege mentality in readiness for our cup final tomorrow ?♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much as I’d love to believe our disjointed performances have been down to concerns over potential financial irregularities, I am persuaded by a body of evidence that it’s actually been down to us being, well, a bit poo.....?

GenBr Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 That statement doesn't really say a great deal. It says we have confirmation in writing from the EFL that we met regulations at the time, but I wouldn't say that's the same thing as saying nothing will come from the EFL investigation. The way its written to me sounds unnecessarily defensive and feels oddly worded. Personally I don't think anything will come of the investigation, but I think a few of you are reading a bit too much into a statement made by us and not the EFL - especially since the EFL has a history of balls up and making things up as they go along. If the EFL release a similar statement on conclusion of the investigation that will be the time to rub it in Steve Gibsons face - not now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Am Sheep Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I said after it was initially revealed that we sold the stadium that Steve Gibson's sphincter would start making noises. He didn't let me down and neither has Teflon Mel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I think Derby are just laying it out in black and white. The EFL didn't have a problem at the time, have already cleared the sale as legit, and it would be legally impossible surely to reverse a decision taken some time ago. Case closed from our perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really our place to be making statements about matters between two other bodies. If it affects us, we can make a club statement when the EFL make known their findings and/or take action (Which DCFC now seem to be implying cannot happen). If the EFL effectively "clear us", then again, no statement should be forthcoming from DCFC, as the matter is between Gibson/MFC and The EFL. For now, our stance should have remained "No comment"!

Wasn't having a dig, just saying that some will be glad that they have finally made a statement on the matter, and others will think that they shouldn't say anything. Personally I don't think that the statement really says anything. The League cleared the sale earlier, so can't really go back on that decision. 15 minutes ago, therealhantsram said: This is a coded message to the EFL.

I guess the only way that the EFL could say that we broke the rules was that they were deliberately misled which must be ridiculous if certified by a chartered accountant.

He may have already mentioned it casually to the league board whilst sipping the Bucks Fizz and troughing the Canapes prior to the last league meting.

Dcfcsr92 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 How leeds fans think this is on the same scale as spying is unbelievable, yes we have bent the lines in the rule (off the field) but spying is full on cheating because that on and off the field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
