If the Boro/Wycombe stance stops a takeover - mainly because the new buyers don't want to get hit down the line for a heap of cash - which is understandable - then we liquidate at some point and everybody loses. @David 's belief is that at the very next EFL meeting after we have disintegrated they would all piously vote to make sure 'it never happened again.' If that happens I think the EFL are underestimating the blowback. Boris might be desperate for some good works to do. Maybe Nadine Dorries will be sitting at the end of the next EFL meeting, with an unconventional agenda. I have some sympathy with @davids view especially now the EFL only have wait for us to run out of money to be rid of us, the EFL are now in a position in which they excel, they have to do nothing???

I cannot read some of his text between the bottom of page 1 and the top of page 2. Can someone help a technophobe please? It probably is the most important bit ! Think the top line is "the administrators (something) that the uncertainty on the legal claim..." Don't know if there's a line above that probably not. The paragraph that made me so angry was this one: “There was also agreement that the administrator is not yet in a position to name a ‘preferred bidder.’ It is the view of the EFL that until they are able to commence discussions with a specific identified preferred bidder it will be difficult to address the issues that remain that prevent exit from administration.” How very dare the ducking EFL appear to accuse the Administrator of delaying naming a PB by just blithely suggesting the two claims aren't much really!!! i-Ram, SaffyRam, Richard Dastard Lee and 1 other 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t prove it wasn’t either. At some point a judge is going to take an opinion. If this was as simple as saying we only accept cast iron guarantees then CK wouldn’t have run for the hills and someone would have bought us by now. I think the odds are in our favour but a ridiculous risk to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it matter who and how many people want to buy us? The Boro and Wycombe issue etc are preventing a preferred bidder being identified. The funds for us fulfilling the season will eventually run out and we’ll be liquidation. The MP update is awfully bleak and there is no way out. We are at the end, the debts we are in are the worse seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Court or arbitration a verdict has to be backed up by some level of reasonable proof, three QCs have reportedly looked at the case and given the thumbs down let’s hope their opinion is correct Indy and r_wilcockson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes bear in mind these minutes have had to be approved by Efl so have gone through their distorting lens. quite cynical and manipulative how they try and distract attention from the Boro and Wycombe claims.
