JustOneBiblicalKazim Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Leeds are gone, people need someone else to have a pop at, we’ve had Rooney, Lampard and Cole in the last 2 years, Mel isn’t too well liked by other clubs and we’re awaiting a potential points deduction. It’s natural selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripleyram88 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I'm sure it would be a conflict of interest having Pearce and the Reading bloke on the board, If the EFL were the ones investigating the charges and not an independent commission. In fact if it was the EFL investigating the charges it would be a conflict of interest to have any single representative from a competing championship club on the board. I guess that's why they use an independent commission. I bet that knuckle dragger at the daily mail only found out Pearce was on the board today and thought to get his opinion out there. He's been on the board since the charges were brought and only now, 8 months later, are people apparently concerned about that. Seems the daily mail have got something against DCFC, though if I was Mel, I'd take it as a compliment that a publication so vile were so invested in taking us down.

Our defence seems to be based in part upon arguing that the EFL have been incompetent. Yet we have a representative on the board. That does seem a bit odd. similarly whilst we are subject to an active investigation(s) is it appropriate to be on the board. Debatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gccrowdpleaser Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Pearce is an elected member of the board. Elected by the other Championship clubs to represent them. Elected in June 2019...2 months after the Pride Park deal was revealed and known by all. This is such a non story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3 reps will always have conflicts which will be declared and they will not get involved in such matters. Now if we are found guilty of being a rotten club I guess he will have to resign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think Pearce was on the EFL board at the time of the stadium sale ? Could be wrong though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taribo Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Anyone else notice the line about wanting to open another investigation into our new £30m loan?? Christ, surely with everything hanging over us that loan would have been checked, picked apart and scrutinised by every man and his dog by us and the EFL prior to it happening?

The Mail claims it's against the spirit of P&S rules. Surely rule #1 from the 'Spirit of the Rules Handbook' is "Ensure the club survives", which I'm guessing this loan is being used for.

Could be wrong though No you're right, he wasn't appointed until June 2019. Voted onto the board by the other Championship clubs no less, 2 months after the 2018 accounts were released, so after everyone knew the sale price of the stadium including the profit that was made, and over 2 years after the first set of accounts with the changed amortisation method were released. https://www.dcfc.co.uk/news/2019/06/stephen-pearce-named-as-club-representative-on-efl-board Quote Club representation on the EFL Board comprises three Directors from the Sky Bet Championship, two Directors from Sky Bet League One and one Director from Sky Bet League Two, each selected by the 24 clubs in their respective divisions.

When exactly have Derby County stated that the EFL have been incompetent? Fans have said it (probably with a fair degree of justification) but I don't recall the Club saying it.
