Whilst I do not think the EFL are at all fit for purpose they are surely likely to back our cause on these two. The precedence it sets would be wholly unsustainable and risks the integrity of the whole football pyramid under the EFL. Basically EFL clubs squabbling forever outside of pitch. Also completely renders useless the points deduction. The EFL are inept but not evil. I would have thought that the EFL would step in, and I think there is an expectation that disputes between clubs are settled within the EFL structures. That's why I wonder what the basis of the claims actually are. Is there more to it? I genuinely don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just responded to a question about whether he'd read the Sun article "sorry, I don't read newspapers" and another tweet about being excited to see Rory McIlroy at some golf tournament. Very bland, which is probably wise. Since when has the Sun been a newspaper? Abu Derby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Announcement of the preferred bidder isn’t the end of the saga or completion of the takeover though is it? So, I wouldn’t read anything into that innocuous comment.

Ramarena Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 4 hours ago, Jubbs said: Interesting that Kirchner was sat in Rooney's seats tonight, rather than a directors box. Funny that he was also with Stretford and Cook again. It's blaringly obvious that these are Rooney's men, it's not even like they're trying to hide it anymore, with Rooney keep mentioning Kirchner. It's clear as well that the S*n are doing PR for Kirchner, as Nixon also happens to be buddies with Stretford (Nixon left The Guardian in 2004 because of his links with Stretford). Is that something we want? Our owner being connected heavily to ownership? What about if Rooney isn't up for the job, do they sack him? Yeah it’s definitely a concern to have a manager and owner potentially (we don’t know how deep the links actually go) so intertwined. It’s my biggest concern around his bid. On the flip side, if Kirchner is the only genuine contender and we don’t go with him, then club could cease to exist. For me the Kirchner bid is potentially a catch 22 offer. I genuinely hope the administrators are right when they say there are several serious contenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't like the Rooney/Kirchner relationship then surely the Rush/Wasserman relationship should be just as worrying. In fact, it's partially to blame for putting us in this mess in the first place. Kathcairns, hintonsboots, Zag zig and 8 others 4 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re a bit of a worrier aren’t you? If he’d said “the next 10 day (or the next 2 weeks) will determine the outcome for us” that would have been a bit presumptuous. Being preferred bidder doesn’t guarantee success. It’s maybe also one of those comments that shouldn’t be taken literally like “It’ll only take two minutes” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripleyram88 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Surely if you follow Wycombe's claim to it's logical conclusion it makes no sense. They say we should have been deducted the points in the season it happened and therefore they would have stayed up. But then by that logic Sheff Wed should have had their 6 points deducted the season before, meaning they would have finished above Wycombe last season and they would have still gone down. If Boro think their claim will be successful, where does that end. A team gets into the playoffs, but a player dived for a penalty to get the point that did it. Can you sue them? A player scores the winning goal but is given a retrospective red card for an elbow, can you sue them? TheresOnlyWanChope and Mucker1884 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's astonishing the EFL haven't stepped in yet, unless there's more to it than is being disclosed. r_wilcockson, I know nuffin and gfs1ram 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
