You make a good point. Either way the club needs to come out of this mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club is nothing without EFL membership, to its creditors, to its supporters, to its owners. This is not a conventional business so it is not a conventional administration process. And I agree with the EFL fully actually FWIW in their latest statement, there are 23 other clubs in League one that deserve clarity on their competition for next year. Time has ran out for everyone so it is put up or shut up time. Sorry but if the EFL are thinking along those lines they simply expel us from the league and not get involved in insolvency actions but they are cowards and dare not do that,they don't want to be seen as authors of our demise. To say Trevor Birch an EFL board member will have an active role in this with him being an insolvency practitioner raises a huge Red flag regarding conflicts of interest.

There's no rules about how long a club is allowed to be in administration for - look at Wigan, Portsmouth etc Why are the EFL suddenly getting all precious about us potentially going into next season in administration, they weren't particularly bothered about it for the past season. The rule is that you can't start consecutive seasons in adminstration, so in theory it should be fine. However, all clubs have to show a realistic business plan to get through the season, whether in administration or not. If they don't, they are kicked out of the league. That's very difficult to do in administration. This was what actually killed Bury. Ramarena, RadioactiveWaste and Tyler Durden 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If both parties fail to agree, you are correct it is factual they do not leave administration. The price to be paid is in some way set: this is the thing to be needs to be discussed, and is not. Let's call the final day before liquidation D-Day. On D-Day +1 you get nothing. Six months to D-Day, you might only accept 60p in the pound as someone might come along with an amazing bid. Six weeks pre D-Day you might accept 35p. D-Day morning you might accept 10p. By that evening, you will accept pennies in the pound as you will get nothing if you don't - and that moment is moments away. If a creditor is owed £1m, they might get £100,000 from Ashley. They get nothing in liquidation. On the last day they accept. Before that point they procrastinate as they might get more. It's like that weird indoor cycling: everything always comes down to the last lap, as everyone holds out until the end for better. Without a knight in shining armour, the creditors get nothing or something. But, as I say, there needs to be a point of no return to focus minds. It is literally day one 101 of negotiation school. Apologies as you're new to this forum but this discussion has been had over many times on here...if the HMRC are the largest creditors then they will decide ultimately whether to accept an offer or not and if they don't think it's enough then isn't it their prerogative to then say the club gets liquidated? There's must be a minimum value set to all of these precedings? RoyMac5 and atherstoneram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed,creditors will not be bothered whether the club survives or not. They make take the view they have been offered 35% so a new bidder pays that or no deal.

CBX1985 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 HMRC is a difficult one. They I grant you are unique. They have to get value for taxpayers. An offer can be anything you like. HMRC 100%, everyone else 7%. Once you stop caring about a fifteen points reduction, it makes settlement easier in many ways. Creditors as a mass will agree getting paid. The less you want to offer, the later you have to leave it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply don't get the axe to grind stuff with the EFL so I'm not on the same page; probably gives me company only with a very small minority of Derby fans but there we have it. The problems are and were Mel Morris, and since he left, the administrators, admins that haven't been up to much; opinion formulated there on the basis that results speak louder than words and the results are and remain poor. Creating bogeymen of the EFL, I can understand the emotion behind it, but I think it is precisely that, emotion. Think their Statement today is wholly necessary, putting feet to the fire is vital at some point. RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what what would happen if efl remove golden membership and then we are taken over. Would we miss next season and then be in L1 for following season? It’s not like a liquidation scenario where we have to start again a a new club in lowest level or is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
