Not that it helps any I don’t think any team should be suing another. I still have nightmares about QPR’s administration and relegation to the third tier in 2001, we had 5 registered players at the start of the following season, had a total rebuild and after 3 seasons got back into the championship. I can still remember our “rich owners” stitching Derby up with exorbitant ticket prices as you’d just been relegated and deemed to be a category A game. many of us weren’t happy when Tony Fernandes started buying players we couldn’t afford as if they were panini stickers and I think the other clubs are right to be ducked off with the way our club went. it’s taken a few years but we are now doing things correctly and are just starting to reap the rewards. However I expect if we don’t go up this year then our young starts will be sold and we’ll have to start the cycle again. Hope you get a new owner (pay HMRC off) and become competitive again. merry Christmas to you all. Thanks I wouldn't want us to sue another club, but the behaviour of Boro and wycombe in pursuing claims against us that have way less merit than we would have against QPR is really sickening. In our position it just feels like we are being blackmailed, pay up or we will delay a takeover which will cost us a fortune in administrators and solicitor fees and maybe even our club. therealhantsram, r_wilcockson, Indy and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you did if we cost Boro by the same yardstick. Boro would never have beaten Leeds or Villa, even if they had finished ahead of us. We lost to QPR in a one off match, with very fine margins. Plus QPR 's act was deliberate flouting the rules. As far as we knew we were within the rules. In fact, I still think we were.

ziggyram59 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Changing the subject of Boro/Wycombe/QPR etc it was reported on East Midlands Today tonight that it could be February before new owners are sorted out. I just feel they keep changing the goal posts, first it was December then January and now February I find it all frustrating. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we didn’t finish in a promotion place we didn’t cost you promotion, we beat you in a one off game that any other day you probably would have won on chances created.

sheffieldram Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 In 7 games through March into April of the 2018/19 season Middlesborough lost 6 games in a row and drew one. If they want to sue anyone they should sue themselves for picking up just 1 point out of a possible 21 during this period and they fell short of sixth place by one point plus our goal difference was better. Apart from that are they saying that if they had reached the play-offs they would definately have won the semi and the final. Can anyone really take their claims seriously???

Against a relegated team on the last day. I have a feeling that he might be trying this ruse to get some cash he can use against his own impending FFP cluster.

IslandExile Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 1 hour ago, LeedsCityRam said: you seem to have discounted the possibility that administrators may have their own reasons for extending the process (clue for you...they get paid by the hour). That's probably against the rules of some regulatory body. Consequently, we'll face another points deduction for staying in administration longer than necessary for "accounting reasons". jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To clarify I'm not suggesting the administrators are deliberately stringing it out. They may well believe in good faith they need to resolve everything but my belief is that them trying to manage a situation that appears unresolvable & is spurious at best, is adding unecessary expense to the process & that this needs capping. Given they will receive recompense for the process being longer, I dont believe they are necessarily the best judge of when that needs capping. Granted, that call is subjective. This is why I believe the parasites have submitted their claims now & not whilst Morris was in charge, when they'd have got short shrift.
