Heisenberg Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I’m sure I read around January/February time that clubs that failed to pay their wages on time, albeit once, aren’t then entitled to the payment? atherstoneram and Ram-Alf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 It does on the face of it sound like a material contributory factor. Also the bit which inferred that the vexatious claims around the stadium transaction caused the loss of a sale. A very bitter statement I thought. Certainly doesn't look much like bridge building with the EFL. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EFL have a track record for not supporting it's own members. We are just the latest in an ever lengthening queue. From Bury to Wigan and all the alphabet in between Now is the time to fight back. I hope Morris gets out then sues the balls off them. I would. The king is dead long live the King RoyMac5 and Crewton 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Won't commit to the ongoing costs of the club, but some want us to take taxpayers money. The EFL got this one right.
