Rosythram Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Isn’t it about time we accepted as a club that the hierarchy of the EFL are going to bust a gut to pin something on us, they will not rest until they are able by what ever means to screw us up. Its the nature of the beast, accept that they are fighting for survival and the old adage that turkeys don’t vote for Christmas is so true. The EFL have no redeeming features, so let’s just accept it’s their ball and they will only give it us back when good and ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itll be December when we are flying and when January transfer window approaches. The charge will have disrupted 3 transfer windows and ruined our chances of investment by then.

europia Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 If the EFL have got it in for Mr Morris, then they are going to make the club suffer. Thing is the EFL hold most of the ace cards, so if you decide to take them on, you have to be sure of winning, every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abu Derby Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 They could wait until the season has started and then dish out the punishment. When we have accumulated 12 points, Gibson will instruct the EFL (aka limp lettuces) to deduct 12 points leaving us with zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Surely to duck there has to be a deadline for a decision to be made? It's like VAR taking 30 minutes to decide whether a clear and obvious mistake has been made and whether the official's original decision not to punish someone was correct or not. If it's taking this long to find us categorically guilty of wrongdoing, then we weren't guilty of wrongdoing. It isn't a bloody murder trial FFS, it isn't anything to do with the law or criminality it's an argument about the pernickity interpretation of some illogical, made up, not legally binding guidance. Either charge us because of a clear and obvious misdeeds or throw it out and move on. The whole thing's long since become a farce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several years ago the EFL agreed with some accounting we did, that in hindsight they now feel went against the spirit of what they wanted to achieve. No businesses were ruined, nobody else was left out of pocket. In retrospect we have gained precious little advantage and our house is in order now. I don't understand why regardless of result, the outcome isn't a suspended points penalty, some fresh guidance tidying up the loopholes and 2 years of intensive scrutiny / compliance work to make sure we are squeaky clean. Talking about 12point deductions makes no sense and seems completely unfair and unethical to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Just now, MACKWORTHRAM said: Can they just leave us alone? Just for one day. They can leave us alone for good if we form a breakaway league with those coming down and seven or eight clubs who are probably as fed up with being restricted on what they can spend as Derby. Middlesbrough and the rest of the whingers can stay with the EFL. Plenty of revenue in that big game against Hartlepool. Happened in other sports. You can only be pushed so far and it's coming. It would need to be in conjunction with the premier league but as the bigger revenue clubs would be involved probably not an issue . Not something i would generally think i would support but it's becoming a pee take now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 This is getting dirty. There is going to be a major fallout soon. We are being treated disgustingly. Someone has the ear of that rag and are determined to drag us through the dirt. I believe Mels original explanation so until a charge becomes a conviction to me we are 100% innocent until proved guilty. No doubt about it though our name is being dragged through the dirt.

That cup of tea to iron things out with Gibson and the Barnsley chairman didn't go to well. Don't know where they got that copy of the stadium sale contract from.
