So the EFL believe the claims should be classed as football debt, did I read that right? So literally any number that WW or MFC plucked out of their heads, we’d have to pay? 

I’d assume that would be the part that arbitration would decide. Are they due any and how much.

**** arbitration, they’ve just given us permission to take it to the High Court. Good luck to Pube-head and Lionel Hutz proving their cases.

I know there's a thread that makes this point but .... but ... but.... How can it possibly be a debt if it's still an unresolved claim?????

Isn't that what the EFL are suggesting as the main point of mediation though? That we're going to have to stump up something to both clubs but that figure is the one to be mediated on.

[GenBr]

Fine take it to the high court and get it resolved. The EFL have made their position quite clear in that statemement and cannot be trusted to be impartial in this matter.

Get the claims thrown out and then counter sue.

In the unlikely event that the courts find against us i'd rather we just liquidate the club and pay the parasites nothing. 

[Steve Buckley’s Dog]

I found that a very depressing read. So Wycombe and Boro are stakeholders because they have put in a spurious claim? Administrators need to take this to high court immediately. We also need to be seeking damages in my opinion. Parasites.

Mel Morris could move this on greatly and restore at least some dignity if he gifted the stadium back to the club. He won't do it, but it would be a thing to finally kick start us getting moving again.

I struggle to see what getting them all in a room is going to do. Boro & WW arent goingto accept £0, admins & mel wont offer more than £0 so the only way is court or arbitration

[FlyBritishMidland]

I interpret this as the EFL are classing MFC and WWFC as football debts.  So if arbitration feel rule in their favour we have to pay?  I’m struggling to understand how the EFL policy takes precedent over the law.

Interesting that they say it’s up to the administrators to decide how to take it forward.  Not sure I fancy their chances of getting all those parties in the room at the same time.  Personally, as it’s obvious Gibsons gripe is with Morris, I think I’d prefer it if Morris was kept away.  He’ll just wind Gibson up and they’ll disagree with each other on principal which isn’t good for us.  Let him sort the ground, etc out with the PB.  Let the PB and administrators deal with the EFL, Gibson and Couhig.

It has to go above and beyond the EFL.

They are a joke and not fit to rule on anything.

I think this is the critical point, I've said several times...they could have claimed £100m or £200m...whatever they wanted because it is pure speculation...a fantasy figure.

[FlyBritishMidland]

And how can they be a creditor if they haven’t provided any goods or services?  Therefore not a debt.  Someone needs to buy Messrs Parry and Birch a new dictionary.  Very frustrating!!

[Eatonram]

BUT.....If we take to court and win...it seems that will simply lead to the debt disappearing but the EFL refusing our exit out of admin, presumably indefinitely OR more likely without accepting another significant punishment to ruin yet more seasons

[Black ('n' White) Sheep]

This is really getting to me now... Just someone... anyone... sort this poo out and save our club! Please?!

We will see out the season and then be liquidated. The EFL do not want us going bust half way through a season as it causes too many headaches.

Saviour every match from now until the end of the season as this will be our last.

If eventual outcome is liquidation why should we wait till the end of the season to finish the fixture list so the efl escape all the hassle

With a high court ruling behind us, they could try it but the amount of pressure brought to bear on them if they do will make everything so far feel like a tea party.

[Dimmu]

Brave from EFL to come outand admit they are pro these parasite's claims.

First, lets' wipe out these two in high court. Then lets go after EFL.

 

....And Justice For All.

[Eatonram]

Protest at EFL HQ required I feel.

[alexxxxx]

So basically they're just reiterating their position here.
