I just got chained to the radiator next to the tall man with the beard.

Beirut was a rough place to grow up.

 

Sounds like a long Waite chained to that radiator.

Similarly bored (and wanting to vent), I emailed on 13th to ask this as well as query what actions are being taken to protect member clubs during this exceptional time as opposed to searching for creative ways of bringing proceedings against them etc.

Received this predictability generic reply this morning......

 

Thankyou for your email.

 

For clarity, while the EFL shares the view that such matters are ideally concluded expeditiously, the decision and timing of any sanctions determined by an Independent Disciplinary Commission, is entirely at their discretion. The EFL can only act in accordance with its rules, as voted and agreed on by member clubs themselves.

 

Due to the unprecedented challenges faced by the EFL and its member clubs following the COVID-19 pandemic, a range of ongoing financial and operational matters have been discussed regularly. These matters have not only been with a view to the short-term challenges faced but also with an eye on securing long-term sustainability. As you will know, Clubs, like all businesses were supported by Government measures, along with accelerated facility payments issued by the EFL to mitigate short term losses.

 

As you may have seen, Clubs in League One and Two recently voted to introduce a squad salary cap, and this majority decision follows extensive and comprehensive consultation with all Clubs in respect of addressing sustainability and wage inflation issues across the EFL which were initiated prior to the suspension of football in March.

 

Discussions remain ongoing with Championship Clubs, along with a range of EFL stakeholders with respect to ongoing sustainability matters in general.

 

Thank you for contacting the EFL.

In other words, they've got bigger issues to sort out at the moment!

Definitely. Almost certain. More than a fair chance. 50/50. Might not be. Doesn't look like it. Probably not. Not a cat in hells' chance!

One remarkable thing I’ve learned from the past 48 hours is that a lot of men from Derbyshire with a modest social media profile have unparalleled access to legal sources in London and football agent sources in Monte Carlo.

You've got it the wrong way round. Loads of blokes in Derby with modest social medai profiles are in fact high fliers hiding out in Derbados from the pressures of their high powered lives. 

It's the current mode for corporate legal eagles from the big smoke to eschew the culinary pleasures of La Gavroche in favour of McTurks kebabs. Similarly, it's thought of as trendy for the Monte Carlo Casino set to gamble their evenings away instead on the one armed bandits in that stall in Derby Market.

Sky sources saying within the next 48 hours

If we don't get a points deduction, it's gonna feel like a real boost to the season. If we get some of the rumoured transfer business sorted too, I think we could have a great season.

I heard it will be delayed until vaccine for FFP was available.

What’s the Beatles got to do with it?

Apropos of not much, I worked with an Irish lad a few years ago who told me that a few days after Jon McCarthy had been released he was picked up by a Dublin taxi driver who asked him if he was alright in the back seat or would rather be in the boot.

Only on this forum could a football club tribunal thread be turned in to a festival of punning about people who were held hostage in Beirut for nearly 5 years or so.
