The competition would have no integrity and on a practical level, who's going to do stuff like referee games in an environment where some chancer could throw a lawsuit at you for wrongly awarding a corner etc? If Gibson succeeds, the whole edifice will crumble. So A. This is actually a very good point, think of all the wrong decisions in football. Should have been offside, was a clear handball etc. If this was to go ahead it would open the doors to suing every wrong decision in football.

TheresOnlyWanChope Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 This crazy hypothetical scenario is interesting as choosing a) would involve the club being liquidated anyway. I would go for b if there is a strong connection to the original football club - AFC Derby County for example. Besides, there is no case and I would be sickened if those clubs received money from the team I support, I would be ashamed to be a fan of such a team who give in to such bullying.

TigerTedd Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 1 hour ago, PistoldPete said: There was no right of appeal against Derby's fine, or the consequent demand to redo our accounts. The admin team said they agreed settlement re the penalty points with EFL in order to bring certainty to the buyer. The process would have lasted months or more.. we hadn't been charged by EFL but the last process took 18 months from the charge being made to the final decision . God knows how many seasons worth of relegated teams might want to sue us then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the early 70's, a policeman on a motorbike stopped by my dad after a game, said he was sick of twits at football given him aggravation and punched him in the stomach whilst sporting a large and heavy leather glove. He then promptly got on his motorbike and left. He didn't get done for breach of the peace. ? My dad did a few times. On one occasion he wound up in a holding cell with John Conteh after a game in Manchester. Mucker1884 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be suing all the promoted ones. It'll be fine. I'm sure we offered 3 million quid for Francis and Ritchie at Bournemouth back in the summer of 2014. They'd grossly gone over FFP, yet turned down our offer. Based on all the outrage caused by us not selling players for some lint and a couple of coppers found down Rowetts sofa, surely we can sue Bournemouth on two counts. Not selling to us and then getting promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernRam Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 If it really does come down to this, football really is in a sorry state. Let’s see a preferred bidder announced and let them negotiate. If they can negotiate a price they deem to be reasonable then so be it. If not, we surely have the right to appeal to the EFL to take it to court? Any less would be extortion and would surely undermine the EFL’s long term position as a custodian of the league and it’s members.

Carl Sagan Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I would say neither. Let Boro and Wycombe take legal action if they think they have a case, and be laughed out of court. However, I voted the phoenix simply option because no one is going to pay them money on top of our massive debts to buy the club. If the EFL really insists any purchaser must settle with them before we're allowed to function as a club, then we will cease to function as a club so phoenix is the only option. atherstoneram, Kathcairns, r_wilcockson and 3 others 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodley Ram Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 IF the bastion of democratic thinking that is the EFL allow us to have a new owner and come out of Administration then we should settle both at Court. I doubt if it would get that far but if it goes full term that's where it should be settled. Kathcairns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
