Eatonram Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 It is hard to see how the EFL as an entire organisation are not "conflicted" by their implicit agreement with MFC that the initial claim against the EFL would be "stayed" if action could be taken against DCFC? How can the EFL not see this? r_wilcockson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Admin’s plan is pretty clear - maintain radio silence, let the pressure build on the EFL/MFC/WW and hope that they blink first if they can be guilted into doing the right thing.

Jubbs Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Just been blocked by Ed Dawes on twitter, he called out reluctantThicko for "misleading tweets" so I called him out and told him to practice what he preached for his "bid is in" tweet from yesterday.

Got to think they’ll be getting a bumpy ride there, and hopefully some less than flattering quotes to the press afterwards. Certainly need to keep the momentum up though.

Crewton Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I think it's dangerous to concede anything to Boro & Wycombe - they have to be talked down by Government and the EFL. If we accept that their claims are in any way valid, that opens the door to other clubs who haven't contemplated making claims and expecting settlements, unless the EFL change the rules to outlaw clubs taking action against each other for such matters. The can of worms that would be opened for further action against other clubs could destroy the pyramid system. All disciplinary matters should in future be the responsibility of a new regulator paid for by the EPL, since they're the ones with 90% of the TV money.

hintonsboots Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) Wycombe chairman was also asked about the status of his claim (by me) on Jan 7. Still waiting on a reply. Why not confirm the number and the reason behind it? Maybe he’s blocked you Al, like you block anyone who disagrees with your narrative.

Crewton Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 If Nixon's info is correct, it puts beyond doubt that Wycombe and Boro are the problem, and it paints their owners in a very poor light (I'll leave it there to save the mod's work!) If they're the cause ultimately in the liquidation of DCFC, they'll not walk away unscathed (in a reputational sense).

No. But they may influence politicians who only on Tuesday, having been informed what’s been happening on Monday, were pressuring the sports minister to bring forward legislation to abolish the EFL asap and replace with an independent regulator. The more noise there is out there to rubbish the narrative of Derby cheating and EFL/Boro bravely fighting for the integrity of the game, the better, I think.

But they're running scared. Of course 'the EFL' are the 72 clubs representatives, so why are they scared, surely all football clubs want their success to be on the field of play?

Margaret Beckett is a fantastic lady but she is DCFC through & through and hence wouldn't be seen as independent. Boro & their puppets at the EFL would be squealing bias at the first opportunity. Tracey Crouch is the ideal choice given her background & no conflicting association with either side. Failing that the Sports Minister himself or 'Mr Crystal Palace' who did a good job deputising for him the other day. Great idea by RT by the way - independent mediation is the only way this is getting sorted. Too many entrenched views now for the egos to compromise.
