The Administration Thread

There's some questionable factual dental. Something about Middlesbroughs action against Derby having been ongoing for over 12 months. 

What they don't clarify is that there were 2 claims. The one outstanding is not over 12 months old. So, EFL... remind us what happened with the previous claim by Middlesbrough and why that approach can't be applied here. 

It says that Boro's claim was commenced over 12 months ago on arbitration proceedings.

It does not say it has been on-going since then. I think that their claim against us in admin is just a continuation of the claim thrown out by the LAP.

Have the EFL released a statement about how they don't have a vendetta against all the other member clubs. Or is it just us?

Funny that.

They want us gone. Keep on fighting. People are seeing them for what they are. Mainstream journos will lap it up but those who aren't blinded by greed know exactly what is going on.

That statement is brimming with bravado but is underpinned by a retreat of position that an Italian army division would be proud of.

They’re like the Americans of world war 2. We will save our club and they’ll come out after and try to say they have saved the day

It's just a generally awful statement. Supposedly rushed through tonight, pass the buck back onto Quantuma and give a 'Nothing to do with us' sort of response. 

A late night statement ain't the sign of an organisation in a decent position. We made enough of them to know that. 

They just hoped verbose waffling would mask the panic. If anything it just illuminates their own failings.

Being pedantic, it actually says that Boro commenced claims (plural) 12 months ago, which of course covers their highly spurious one against the stadium sale, which was thrown out or withdrawn (can’t remember which)

They can try, but tbh this whole debacle, especially the light that’s been shone on it over the weekend and today, I think they pushed themselves past a tipping point towards independent regulation. There’s absolutely no credible argument against it now. Everything bad about self-regulation and the associated pitfalls has been brutally exposed over the past 72 hours.

They stopped us from naming a preferred bidder though, lies lies and more lies…corrupt as they come 

How can EFl stop us from naming a preferred bidder ?!! Of course they can’t. And they didn’t. We’re in the position where the putative preferred bidder (Ashley) is refusing to step forward and meet the admins’ conditions until the 2 claims are sorted.

As with all things some of us are taking the statement as a positive, some a negative, and some Sat on the fence.

For me I think it’s a great reflection on the change in narrative over the last few days. The spotlight is edging closer towards our plight and the role of the EFL around that, the increased noise on social media, in the media, from our fans and fans of other clubs, as well as MPs weighing in has forced the EFL to give their most wordy statement yet on the matter. It doesn’t tell us any solutions, it doesn’t consign us to the history books, it does show they’re rattled and need to defend their stance which is exactly what we want. Stating they have no vendetta and that they’re being fair and neutral (yeah right) should mean they now have to be, they’ve publicly outed themselves and will be rightly called out further for more contradictory behaviour. Keep the faith gang ?

@The Baron, why couldn't you bring yourself to raise the vindictive claims by Boro and Wycombe being the sticking point on your TV interview. You forensically went after DCFC's accounts and we have been punished fully by our points deduction yet you fail to recognise that and will be complicit and as guilty as Gibson and Parry if we go out of business.

ducking disgraceful, vindictive behaviour from someone like yourself who professes to be a football fan.
