It doesn't give me any confidence that they're going to help us find a way out of this. Really concerning. But I'm not surprised in the slightest.

StaffsRam Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 2 minutes ago, RoyMac5 said: Yes so as their statement says they have the right to 'review and amend' procedure for each individual case. Also reads as “Watch how we don’t apply this level of scrutiny and discipline to Boro, Stoke, Bristol et al when they fail FFP”… Utter c0ckw0mbles.

RoyMac5 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 10 minutes ago, Van der MoodHoover said: 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. r_wilcockson, Indy, RadioactiveWaste and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Buckley’s Dog Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 4 minutes ago, Ramos said: 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.

uttoxram75 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 They've blatantly admitted that they are tying in Middlesbroughs and Wycombes claims to any take over. Its ducking outrageous.

BondJovi Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 4 minutes ago, HuddersRam said: 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.

Andicis Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Hahahaha, I can't believe they actually did a paragraph clarifying they don't have a vendetta against us. Has any league ever had to clarify it isn't openly acting against one of it's members before? It says it all.

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) RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. angieram, r_wilcockson, Caerphilly Ram and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Dear Mr Party, I light of the EFL's statement this evening, would you care to enlighten us on which clubs the EFL does have a vendetta against? I feel having this for reference in the public domain would he of significant comfort to many fans of clubs in the EFL.

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.

Caerphilly Ram Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) 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.

uttoxram75 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 @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.
