If q won’t agree to EFl involvement, then I doubt EFL will speak to bidders until q asks them to 

Trevor Birch said in his response to the supporters groups that the EFL and Quantuma have held daily meetings, how have Quantuma not agreed to the EFL’s involvement? 
He went on to say the EFL have reached out to the solicitors of the prospective bidders who have refused consent. Trevor Birch, of the EFL, has put it in a written correspondence that it is the bidders who do not want to share with them. 
Quantuma have shown themselves to be useless in a lot of ways all the way through this process, it simply isn’t their decision if the identity and data of the parties involved can be shared.

The probleam is tv money far far far greater for premiership clubs were league clubs get far far less and it is not right they should split more evenly.

I agree B4. The drip down of wealth from the top leagues needs to happen more. However sky and global broadcast companies pay big money for the big games liverpool v man utd and so on.

Nobody in Africa, the Middle East, Asia are desperate to watch barrow v Oldham or Derby v pompey and that's the issue.

I bet if sky could drop all coverage outside of the top 10 english clubs they would do so in a heartbeat. They probably see it as an inconvenience and gets in the way of nlanket coverage of teams we "should all suupport"

It’s difficult because you’re asking owners of teams to give earned revenue away to other owners who haven’t earned it. The EFL could absolutely make more of their product, but instead decide to market it as ‘the wilderness’ and the only thing that matters is the Premier League. 

The EFL need to focus on their own revenue and the Premier League’s charity should be grass roots not the three divisions below them. The problem is that the EFL have got lazy in just accepting handouts, rather than do something about it.

I don’t see it like that. Do Brighton or Brentford get bigger tv audiences than Derby? I don’t think so. They are effectively getting handouts too from the big clubs. All it takes is for those handouts to be more evenly distributed across the leagues.

Daily meetings with q are a quite different thing - particularly in light of the state of relations between q and EFL 

If q said to all bidders: we will take your bids forward on condition you agree to EFL involvement, then any serious bidders would agree. It’s in Q’s hands

Is AA’s bid is really moving forward as he claims? If it is, then Q’s latest statement is in no small part an attempt to fob off the EFL in their attempts to get involved

It seems like you've come up with a solution and convinced yourself that it's guaranteed to produce the result you want, with no thought to the consequences if it doesn't go to plan. 

You're quite dangerously deciding that anyone not willing to comply with the request is not a serious bidder, as if it's black and white.

There probably aren't enough serious bidders at the table to risk laying down the law. If Q did as you suggest and ALL of them responded with a resounding "I'm out" we'd risk being liquidated within the week! 

(and no doubt there would a queue of people calling out what an awful decision it was, and how stupid the administrators must be to have done it)
