Tamworthram Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 12 minutes ago, Animal is a Ram said: I mean, *if* it's less than 6 figs, I'm sure a PB would be able to afford <£100k... but also begs the question - why? All that anger and effort for that? If it is less that 6 figures then it just goes to show their chairman knows how ridiculous their claim is. Even £99,999 gets nowhere near what they would have lost out on if they did indeed have a valid claim. But, if such a payment is a way to resolve the case and allow him to save face, then I'd be reluctantly in favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rough guess. Those payments would fall under 21/22 (if at all). Accounts and P&S statements due for submission at for all those up to 20/21.

r_wilcockson Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 If we're talking £90k, for the sake of the final hurdle going away we should just do it. kevinhectoring, jimtastic56 and Ram a lamb a ding dong 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t quite work out what’s going on with Wycombe. Hosking made it clear W will not hold up the sale, that a resolution is available. Maybe Couhig has said: “yes I’ll go away for £X, and MM has told Hosking: yes I’ll pay it if we can’t whittle him down further “. Or maybe all buyers have agreed to go ahead anyway, perhaps against a small deposit from MM as security against Couhig’s antics. Hoskin implied the legal advice from all quarters is that the claim is nonsense Perhaps the EFL have agreed that the claim is rubbish and can be crammed. Seems very unlikely. Anyway I don’t know how you can cram down a claimant who has not even made a claim ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JfR Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 So they've gone from asking for up to £14m of compensation before the weekend to accepting less than £100k now?

I know. I'm all for principle, but if you'd told me last week that we'd have gone from a total £51m claim and looking like liquidation down to Mel sorting Boro and us chucking £90k at Wycombe to go away I'd have booked the rest of the day off work and gone straight to the pub!

I can't imagine we've had all this for 99k. Unless it's been confirmed that he hasn't got a leg to stand on and were just paying some legal team . If it was deemed he hasn't a leg to stand on mind, I can't see us - or Morris- doing that . Confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confused. It's more likely here's some pennies to go and get yourselves a nice bag of chips and a can of pop now go forth and multiply. Long as Mel Morris pays it, just suck it up. We need to move on. I don't think anyone really puts much stock in the Wycombe owners rantings. The reputational damage to DCFC has already been done by Gibson and the EFL. The "we're going to make an example of Derby County" expedition hasn't relegated us yet (I'm sure much to the disappointment of the EFL are Steve Gibson) or put us out of business (ditto) but trashing the clubs professional reputation and leaving a hugely negative perception amongs other fans? Oh yes they achieved far more with that than they ever actually pinned on Derby for actual wrongdoing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confused. Admins are probably thinking bigger picture - they still only have funding until the end of the month, it's either pay Wycombe £90k to go away and allow a preferred bidder to then take the club on funding wise, or sell another academy player and devalue the club?

It would have to be Morris. Doesn't seem at lot on the bigger creditors but it has to be cleared and there's plenty of small ones need a pay out. It wouldn't be ratified as part of the admin unless it went through a legal process . I assume Morris is giving him a free holiday in Sandbanks instead.
