TBH I think Couhig is the one who has hatched this gruesome legal ruse and that if Gibbo settles, he will as well I just hope Gibbo's rug doesn't blow off when Ashley lands the chopper on his lawn.

Thameram Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 4 minutes ago, Tamworthram said: Exactly and I think RD made the same point yesterday. Pretty much every other club in the championship will have a vested interest in seeing us continue to suffer as they may want to pick up a player from us on the cheap and/or they want to make sure we take up one of the relegation places rather than them. If your a championship chairman you are only punishing yourself if you want a club with a big away following to be relegated but if we do go down i bet league 1 chairman are counting the extra revenue already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But either Boro and Wycombe have started a legal process in which case it can't be continued in admin, or else they haven't started it in which case there is nothing much to do anyway. moratoriums do not make claims go away. Nor do they stop letters before action being written. Nor do they mean administrators can ignore assertions of claims, and liquidators certainly can't But don't worry, Uncle Mike will sort all this out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The claims wil not be settled (if at all) until after the new owners come in everyone knows that. Still no answers on why this should delay the sale, or even the announcement of the preferred bidder. . RoyMac5 and GB SPORTS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say the most immediate way of raising the stakes is by being very vocal in the media that we are looking at not completing our fixtures as an option due to EFL meddling. This would put pressure upon the EFL to explain how they are going to sort out the absolute mess our liquidation would cause with points, placing’s, fixtures and relegation! We don’t have to go through with it but it’s an instant pressure that could be applied! r_wilcockson and Kathcairns 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who has been briefing Nixon , Percy, The Daily Mail, The Athletic and so on with all this misinformation? This is why they won’t come out and directly engage in the public view when requested. By leaking things out through Nixon/Percy they get to put their stilted view out without being called on how ridiculous it is and then cry foul whenever the Administrators say anything contrary. Again, if you’re tired of “misinformation” then engage with the media directly and put out your 100% black and white view without it going through the Percy/Nixon “click-bait” filter. r_wilcockson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we’ll see some expensive Sports Direct sponsorship at Riverside in the next couple of years You say there are no answers on why the claims should delay the sale? The Athletic outlined how the claims affect the exit from admin (according to other posters on here). It’s not simple and technical posts on here lead to frustration and anger. Q has clearly not devised a watertight exit which satisfies purchasers’ need for certainty before handing over the deposit. So says Ashley and so says the EFl. Q’s lame response to the EFL apparently was: “we can all ignore the claims because there is nothing in them”. Oh dear, rather misses the point Seriously, if you want to read more, look at the Wimbledon case and the Terra firma article that I referenced yesterday The fact that Q has NOT found a clean route out doesn’t stop them appointing a PB of course. But we know that Ashley has refused to become PB until Gibson is sorted. What we don’t know is whether Appleby’s lot would have agreed to become PB and pay the deposit if Ashley had not bounced in. They did say they were ready to go ... r_wilcockson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bald Eagle's Barmy Army Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Mike Ashley was at the training centre yesterday morning. I’d say if he’s serious in buying us he wants this sorting asap. Fingers crossed we hear some good news this week.

I image the likes of Reading, Cardiff, Hull and Peterborough are a little concerned about our current form and there are the other teams that could easily get dragged into a relegation fight (Birmingham, Swansea and Bristol) but less likely if we are cut adrift.

We need to sue for 45 million for sending us Julian De Sart and ruining any chance of the playoffs. Is McClaren not using any sway here. Won Richard Simmonds shitty outfit their only trophy.
