MaltRam Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) Percy knows naff all. Nixon knows naff all. We need to stop giving them any credence. HMRC and ground still issues? Doubt it. Q were ready to announce the PB weeks ago until EFL torpedoed us. The axis of evil here is EFL, curly sue and Wycombe. Let's not forget that, or lose focus on the target.

But the bargain hunt sell off starts now ? Bamfords, the whole lot of them. He was referring to Jagielka, Shinnie, and Williams, apparently. Can imagine offloading Marshall would have helped too.

TomTom92 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 EFL, Gibson and co have won. Best case scenario is that we don’t sell anymore but let’s be real we needed a couple of fresh bodies in this month to keep the great escape going. Once the window is shut I imagine things will magically start to become clearer. The admins and Mel should hang their heads in shame.

If this ends up with the Binnies walking away, the others pulling out and us going bust then Q need absolutely ****ing nailing to the wall. Talk about frustrating!!

Steve How Hard? Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Stay of execution. Frustrating but at least it will leave Gibson fuming that we're still alive and kicking...........the can down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamUltraRam Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) So when Rooney recently said it needs sorting fast because some of his upcoming out of contract players are being offered pre-contract agreements elsewhere, what are those players supposed to do now ? sign those pre-contract agreements I assume & I can't blame them unfortunately, they've got to protect their own futures Edited January 27, 2022 by SamUltraRam atherstoneram, RadioactiveWaste and r_wilcockson 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is he is telling quantuma what to do and say as well. Time for Margaret Beckett and co to give EFL a hand bagging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 3 minutes ago, i-Ram said: Yeah, no doubt you would have overcome the substantial barriers by now. Finding someone willing to pay £30/£50m for a football club with £80m of known debt, hamstrung by malicious EFL self-interest and out of date insolvency rules, with two letigious knobs from the footballing world claiming they are also owed £51m, and the former owner still wanting his bit of the wedge for the stadium he still owns. Oh and the club is still losing c£750k each month, and likely to be playing in the second tier of English football next season. Please outline what action you would have taken in this situation, and if I agree you have a better solution I will change my user name to I will change my post as I realise, the administrators haven't failed at all. No, they are doing exactly what they have been tasked to do. Which is pay creditors, at some point and ensure 1 creditor in particular gets his extra large cut. They aren't failing in that respect.

Crewton Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 One useful thing those who are apparently meeting with Mel Morris tomorrow is seek his unequivocal assurance that he is NOT being obstructive or evasive in setting out his terms for the waiving of any claims over his Share Premium Account, nor his terms for selling the Stadium to the new owners of DCFC, and then communicate his responses to the fans. This should be in MM's interest to if he has any desire to dampen down the growing resentment amongst fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piss take But it’s now a joint statement, efl have done this to stop Quantuma criticising them and pointing finger at efl. My read of it is that Quantuma have not made much progress with anything. Same issues on the tracker. They do represent the creditors, but seem to be taking the easy road and selling players to satisfy them. If I were a bidder I would reduce my bid by the full market value of the players sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullspizz Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 The MP's etc should ensure that the admins are placed on a deal where they get paid on the speed on which they conclude a deal. I mean, are you going to rush around when you are earning a supposed £400 ph? We were lead to believe that the reason that the meeting was cancelled the other day was because significant progress had been made between all parties? It doesn't appear to read like that looking at those extremely poor statements. Chester40 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds Ram Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I think the concerning thing in that is Percy's commentary that at least one bidder is getting frustrated. I think the real danger is that it becomes too complex for a solution that is relatively quick and bidders lose their interest. Rammy03 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vonwright Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Hope this goes ahead. We are hearing completely different stories about what the hold-ups really are. It would be good to have some independent parties with the club's interests at heart getting the admins and the EFL in a (virtual) room and going through the issues one by one, to try to work out what's really causing this and formulate a solution.

Given Q’s penchant for timely communications, it’s probably the Binnies frustrated because Q haven’t even bothered responding to their bid, publicly or privately.. ?
