If nixon thinks petty politics involved maybe he could write a critical piece about the EFL? Edited July 24, 2021 by Andrew3000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost agree with that especially as the way things are shaping up, it will be a slow, ugly decent into Division One over the course of the season anyway. The only caveat being it might be better to wait until any potential new ownership is done and dusted before we get relegated, I'm not sure MM has the funds nor the inclination to rebuild ?

GenBr Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Interested to see what their reasons for blocking it are now then. Will they let us buy players even if we resubmit our accounts? 5 minutes ago, kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong said: Said it before and I'll say it again,the efl will not be happy until we have been made a example of and are relegated. It probably would have been better to have just got it done last season in hindsight....we would have had a total reset and would now be into a rebuild rather than waiting for it to happen. Would we? If we'd gone down to League 1 we'd have even less money and we would still be under embargo anyway. We'd just be doing the same thing, but one division lower. Having said that though I do agree we may as well get it over with sooner rather than later. If we start the season without any centre backs we're just wasting everybody's time. Hopefully if we do go down the EFL will finally be satisfied enough to leave us alone. RadioactiveWaste and Hector was the best 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to agree. Not being able to be compete is a complete waste of a season. I'd rather have meaningful div 1 matches than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hintonsboots Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Wasn’t Boro’s CEO just sworn into the the secret society that is the EFL ? Rolled up trouser legs etc, or am I being too cynical.

MikeS Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Yet again, we have no idea what is going on. Is it fair of Rooney to come out and make some oblique comments about needing help from inside and outside the club? Help regarding what exactly? There's no point in making comments with no substance. The situation is turning into a farce. The club are saying nowt and seems frozen in the face of adversity. It has zero communication and involvement with supporters. Meanwhile, the EFL may have changed stance yet again. If so, this organisation is out of control and needs bringing into the real world. Let's hope that the move to bring in an independent regulator with oversight of football's so-called 'authorities' goes through quickly.

Don't think we'll be getting much sympathy this year. They've also appointed Peter Ridsdale who has almost destroyed several EFL clubs, so he's a perfect fit for his new role.

Tyler Durden Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Why is the EFL the pantomime villain in this piece. It's not like the running of the club over the past few seasons has been beyond reproach. A lot of the issues we are encountering now lie closer to home than some will care to admit.

Elwood P Dowd Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Weren’t Birmingham under a transfer embargo, last year, where they could only offer new player 5 K a week ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornwallRam Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 The only thing I can imagine is that the EFL won't sanction any additional wages as it will take us over the P&S threshold. Although we can lose £13m per season if Mel puts in £8m in equity, if he puts zero on we can only lose £5m. With no season tickets, we might be struggling.

Can I be paid only £5k to do the thing that I like doing more than anything in the world. And earn enough to buy a small house in Derby, outright, in one year.
