Part of article from Athletic 

Obviously can’t post it all 

“The Athletic understand that Quantuma has saved enough money through player sales, including the recent departures of Dylan Williams and Graeme Shinnie for fees, and cost-cutting methods to sustain the club until February. Tom Lawrence, Derby’s soon-to-be out of contract club captain and top goalscorer this season, is attracting Premier League and Championship interest after a solid campaign. However, Quantuma has refused bids of up to £450,000 for 20-year-old attacker Louie Sibley, who has appeared only once for the first team since late November, suggesting there is no immediate rush to sell players.”

“Quantuma’s confidence that Derby will exit administration intact derives from noting a provision in the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 that appears to enable them to write off a significant chunk of their debts, including £29 million to HMRC. Quantuma’s plan to offer the taxman the same 25 per cent of what is owed to the unsecured creditors makes Derby a much more attractive option for buyers and explains why the Binnie family has bid only £28 million. However, the law has changed since the last football administration, and the EFL is yet to update its rule book, so the method is not yet approved. The latest update is that the EFL has offered to send the matter to arbitration.”

Does the Athletic also point out that Sibley is valued at £2.7 million on transfermarkt website?  Oh and  he isn't an attacker.

Wycombe who did so well in 2020/21, deserved to remain in the Championship.

They only qualified when league one was stopped half way through in 2019/20 and points calculation was given to provide them with a place in the Championship.

The league one teams that missed out to Wycombe, must have had a reason to feel aggrieved at the efl.

Any way here's Wycombe being thrashed by Blackburn because they just weren't good enough for a place in the Championship.

So Gibson wants the world to see he was right and be able to never shut up about "systemically cheating for years" because of his Mel Morris obsession more than he actually wants money (but he does want some money, "only" in the single millions).

GTF

Go have dinner with Mel and ask him to appologise if that's your beef but duck right off with you're I'm the good guy in this pish.

I wonder if HMRC have actually agreed to that, or it's just Quantuma's plan to write that debt off?

Arbitration on what?

On HMRC debt and other debts 

EFL have a say as to how the Taxman is paid it appears. 

Very short bit of today’s Athletic article 

Quantuma’s confidence that Derby will exit administration intact derives from noting a provision in the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 that appears to enable them to write off a significant chunk of their debts, including £29 million to HMRC.

Agreed no, will have to lump it under insolvancy laws yes. EFL however could kick us out the league for doing it and we'd defo have -15 points. It has to be ordered by a court and can only be done if the judge is satisfied there's no other way.

It's not a great plan TBH, but then, the main problem with DCFC is having more debt than it's worth.

Within all these meetings with the Administrators could someone kindly ask the administrators why we are not taking exactly the same action against QPR ( easy to prove wrong doing ) obviously that would be an income stream for the creditors as well?

We cannot give Boro a penny. It is obscene to think we owe them money UNLESS we sue QPR also and then where does it end. We cannot give in to what is basically blackmail. 

But that principled position could end in us going under…..would that be the right outcome? It is total nonsense but we need to find a compromise and quickly…..

Very simplistic way of looking at it but I wonder whether this mess might be resolved if Mel paid off the MSD debt as a loan for the club to him, in which we then gave Morris 25p in the £1 back.

So he’d get a return similar to HMRC? He probably wouldn’t like it but surely that would seem most pragmatic in the circumstances?
