They seem have disappeared as well and I would have thought they’d be all over this. Fans groups have been asking, and were promised an update "early this week". How many times do you go back to ask the same thing? It's a fine line between patience and hassling. I think the inference is that the silence from Quantuma is that they are getting on with things, but honestly, I personally think Quantuma's comms strategy stinks. I will still think that if they unveil a preferred bidder this evening because they should be keeping key stakeholders better informed than they have been.

hintonsboots Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 The administration team were very confident 10 working days ago, I can only guess big Mike is negotiating down to the last farthing and it’s taking longer than expected.

Why haven’t they contacted the club/Quantuma before releasing that? I'm really not one to defend the EFL as I think they're completely inept, but I highly doubt that they just released the statement without trying to contact the club first. It's extremely worrying.

alram Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 thing is naming a PB should be one of the most straight forwards bits of an administration but the fact it is such a difficulty tells me that actually there is nobody that is able to buy the club.

Gaspode Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 1 minute ago, Kernow said: I was hoping for a 5pm announcement regarding a preferred bidder but the EFL’s short statement suggests they’ve heard nothing from the admins. I’d imagine that they’d be informed of our PB long before it’s made public, so god knows how far we are from PB status. It's possible (maybe I'm just trying desperately to keep positive) that if the Boro and the ambulance chaser have been put to bed, then Q don't need to inorm the EFL of the preferred bidder before making it public - it was the two claims that scuppered the last announcement so may be they're just going for a big "Here's the PB and that means the funds are in place so up your EFL" type of thing......

As @Caerphilly Ram quite rightly said why not wait until the deadline has actually passed? They are quick to state that they're doing everything they can to help DCFC. As @angieram says, this is helping no one. Kathcairns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why they were given, and why accepted, an update “early this week” if the deadline is today given the administrators somewhat unusual history of timeline phrases.

TomTom92 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I imagine we’ll get a statement of some sort tonight as we’ve always returned any mud from the EFL in a swift fashion. Chances on the statement being anything positive are low though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 4 minutes ago, Steve How Hard? said: I realise that Quantuma aren't renowned for their communication skills but they have been good at letting g the EFL dig themselves deeper into a hole with their silence. I'm gonna remain optimistic that they walk into the EFL office at 4:59pm with the relevant paper work, slam it on the desk and say read it and weep Parry. Given that the EFL have got to approve this it is hardly complying with the spirit of the deadline is it? If you are right this constant war of attrition is not doing us any favours and I can't believe is in the interests of the creditors either.

Would’ve thought that if we had reached that stage on the day of the deadline, the EFL would’ve been informed out of courtesy. All the EFL’s statement is going to do now is cause panic, further uncertainty and suffering on the fans and more criticism on the admins. If there was a preferred bidder I don’t think they would want or allow for the public panic when it would be so easily avoided.

atherstoneram Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 2 minutes ago, Tamworthram said: If the EFL require an urgent update, old school I know but, why don’t they pick you phone up and ask them? I’m assuming they’ve made their request via email which most of us know can be easily ignored. Because the EFL shouldn't be having to phone them for an update,the onus is on the administrators to keep the EFL informed. If they can't give them an update,or won't, then you can't be surprised by the EFL's stance, certainly no point scoring on their behalf. ollycutts1982, Ramley Apple, kevinhectoring and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
