JfR Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I have no idea as to whether it is actually legally viable for MB and WW to take action against Mel instead of the club, but it does seem the most ideal route for all parties. If it is legally shown that Mel cannot volunteer to take responsibility, I would seriously hope that he would instead commit to underwriting any legal costs and potential award if the claims continued against Derby, taking that financial responsibility out of the hands of the club and future owner(s). I would assume there must be same way in which that could be done. mozza, David Graham Brown, Jortat and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistoldPete Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 13 minutes ago, Tyler Durden said: So if Boro and Wycombe don't take up Mels offer we won't be in any better position than before? All I can see is the EFL then issuing a statement rebuffing Mels claims in a few days and time passes again Then quantama go to Court and say Derby are in adminsitration so they should be protected, in accordance with insolvency law. And how could a Court say that isn't fair now when Boro and Wycombe can go after mel instead? Kathcairns and Jortat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elwood P Dowd Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 It’s Mel’s “we’ll do you feel lucky punk” letter to the EFL, Boro and Wycombe?? good for you Mel let’s hope Gibson is still fixated on you and takes up the offer. I bet the letter will send the EFL scurrying for their rule book David Graham Brown, Kathcairns, IslandExile and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheshRam Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Good letter, but the High Court isn’t a standard arbitration service for anyone with a dispute. It’s between MFC/WWFC and DCFC so it should only end up in court if these parties are involved. MM would be better off indemnifying DCFC but not sure how that can be done. The EFL are the architects of this mess, so the ball is back in their court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gisby Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Loads of posturing from both sides, it’s a ‘my willy is bigger than your willy’ thing. Most important message I take from this (which should reassure us all) is that there are players in this debacle that have the gift to save us from liquidation and this latest development indicates to me that they will not let this happen despite all the negative noise.

The club have been punished already and, if they win, they’ll get their money. What more could they publicly claim they want? I honestly don't think it was down to money where Boro are concerned, The EFL and Boro are in cahoots and have put us where we are today, They'll not be happy untill imo we're skinned alive, Buried beneath a motorway flyover in an oil drum filled with concrete, Wycombe have just come aboard for the ride and pick up some crumbs.

He seem to be very close to the administrators who I thought were supposed to be doing there best for the creditors not pandering to Morris’s wishes.I genuinely feel if Morris did cut all ties with DCFC Gibson would drop his vile vendetta against them. Gibson seems to want Morris out of and away from football forever. Morris to me seems to still want to be involved somewhere down the line and that is causing this impasse which is slowly strangling us.Morris has really pissed Gibson off to an unbelievable level.

i-Ram Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Mmmh. The letter may have some positive effect, but I can’t see Mel having his ultimate duel fantasy with Gibson in Court. High Noon at the High Court. The letters we have seen from both parties only confirm to me that the club is caught in the middle of a fight between two petty dick swingers rather than two fearsome gun slingers.
