AT LAST! UTR If we are appealing (I thought we were too late) maybe it’s to keep the EFL honest with the additional points deduction So we’d drop the appeal and agree 15 points in total settle for that whiteroseram, Gisby, jono and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Waste of 300k that could have been used to keep people in jobs. No chance we win this appeal given the state of our finances. To say COVID is the sole reason we are where we are is just false.

No chance we win this appeal given the state of our finances. To say COVID is the sole reason we are where we are is just false. The argument for reducing the points deduction, rather than claiming it should be withdrawn completely, is precisely because it's accepted that Covid wasn't the only factor, but it was the one that tipped the club into insolvency. It isn't hard to understand that losing 2/3rds of the club's revenue would have a devastating effect if replacement funding wasn't forthcoming.

My understanding is that the 12 point deduction is an all or nothing thing. According to the rules as I understand them, If covid was the most proximate cause of the administraton then the deduction should be zero points. If it was not then, it should be 12 points. No other ifs or buts or mitigating factors that could reduce it in half. Unless .. we are saying .. we haven't got time to fight this through the courts or tribunals, let's do a deal now and get certainty. Also EFL asking for our books over six years.. haven't they had them already? Red_Dawn, Turnstile and whiteroseram 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the perfect excuse for an owner who has been trying to sell the club for 2 years,if we only got in this situation due to Covid no doubt there might have been a buyer before Covid struck,as there have been no accounts submitted for the last couple of years nobody has a clue apart from within the club as to what the finances were really like.

You can see why he was desperate to sell to the fake sheikh. But who is to say he wouldn't have sold the club if not for covid? And administration avoided? It is hardly an "excuse", covid has had a devastating affect on revenues and indeed on valuations of players and other assets as well as on the prospects of selling the club. Anoyone who denies that must have an agenda against Morris. GB SPORTS, Reggie Greenwood, Kathcairns and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 When people are losing their jobs, blowing 300k on an appeal that is extremely unlikely to succeed is not on.

You can see why he was desperate to sell to the fake sheikh. Morris made the point a few years ago that he was spending >£1m per month funding the wages of a few players who weren't even featuring in matchday squads - his fault, of course, because he either sanctioned those wages or employed the person who did on his behalf. It's pretty clear that the additional burden of propping up the club's finances once the pandemic kicked in pushed him to the point where he was either unable or unwilling to do so. I doubt that compounding his losses by calling in the Administrators was part of his masterplan - he's simply bowed to the inevitable because it became clear that no serious buyer was going to come forward with the debts continuing to mount and, from his POV he's lost enough.

BondJovi Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Anyone else beyond tired and bored of this? The best interests are to accept whatever points deduction we get and move on. We will finally know where we stand and we can think about trying to move forward. Appeal this, appeal that, just allows the efl to keep slowly screwing us over.

Well first of all I think Derby (second highest attendance in the Championship in 2019-20) were most affected by covid than any other team (the team with highest attendance Leeds were promoted to Premier League so got access to a new money tree) . Many other bigger teams were in receipt of parachute money (which did not reduce during covid) so were also much less affected. Smaller teams not affected so much as they were not relying on big gates anyway, so had smaller budgets. Also of course there is the covid loan that (for disputed reasons) was denied Derby but not most other teams. secondly, the club was up for sale, and yes that was probably because Morris was running out of money due to historic overspending. But like I say how do we know that a buyer would not have been found if covid had not come along?
