Elwood P Dowd Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 The next few steps in this dance are for the EFL, WW and MFC to take so we will probably have to wait for the Friday night statement from the EFL before we know anything further.

A tribunal aka arbitration only lets out what it wants, the high court is public Hhhmmm is it?, People who go to the high court to seek anonymity after cases get their wish...if it's not in the public intersest.

Stive Pesley Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Has anyone pointed out that MM offering to take on the legal challenges from MFC and WWFC rather files in the face of him being so broke that he had to put the club into administration?

Alty_Ram Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I'd always read it that he had just had enough of chucking money into a bottomless pit (a pit of his own making to be fair) rather than his being short of money in any way. He is still a very wealthy man as I understand it. Carnero, Ewetube, r_wilcockson and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well no - and I'm being slightly facetious because we know he isn't skint - but companies get put into administration when they become insolvent. AKA skint Which is why MM will forever be the villain of the piece, because he chose to declare DCFC insolvent as a "strategic" move to force a sale. He did not have to do that Maharan and atherstoneram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ..is there..... In the same way the NFL wanted a UK team for years, could we join the MLS?! We could get our Jonny Russell back. We need a complete reset. I am done. Its an utter mess. Lets do a Rangers or a Aldershot, rise from the Ashes. Northern Premier League be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyinLiverpool Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Could Morris buy the club? Clear the debt, pay off the stadium etc. Is there anything to stop that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something doesn't add up A good question . But if, as I think , Morris has already been claimed against personally by Boro then he isn’t conceding anything actually. Whereas the other debts as owner he can legally swerve unfortunately as others have observed.. due to limited liability protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did not have to do that I don't disagree with you that he didn't have to put us in administration. I'm not so sure that it was strategic though, I got the impression that his war with the EFL had backed him into a corner to such an extent where he could see no way out. I believe while he must shoulder the responsibility to the the greatest degree, the EFL have certainly contributed in no small part to this mess.

He did not have to do that I remember him saying that he’d put DCFC into administration as he felt the EFL were biased against him and wouldn’t consider the issues fairly whilst he was still the owner. That is consistent with him seeing that they are continuing their vendetta against the club in his absence, so deciding to get back involved again.

TuffLuff Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR ONLINE TODAY IF YOU DON’T FANCY SCRAWLING THROUGH VARIOUS PAGES 1) Rooney Press Conference early afternoon (Usually around 1-2pm). Although doubt we will find out too much, but it’ll make you happy there’s some football to look forward to! 2) Radio Derby Phone-In between 6-7pm on 95.3 or 104.5 FM or DAB/BBC Sounds 3) After their meeting at 4 BAWT are doing a Q&A at 7.30pm. Again I imagine they won’t be able to say too much without getting the approval from administrators but it’ll probably be the most direct source of any info coming out today. No I don’t know why they are bothering to have Chris Kirchner on even further down the line. THINGS TO LOOK FOR IN THE MUCK AND THE MIRE Do the administrators like leaking a bit of info out before these meetings? I have it in my head it’s happened before so look out for that. Until then why don’t you play the Alan Nixon Guessing Game? Maybe another MP will release a statement asking for another meeting (I know the MPs are doing good but I can’t help imagine them like the Priests in Father Ted sat round the table saying ‘Can anything be said for another mass?). Maybe let’s see if Michael Knighton’s glorious moustache will do a few keepy ups whilst we wait for news? Or we do what we do every day and watch a few posters bicker whilst they and us try to make sense of it.
