Are the administrators actively trying to shut us down now?

What possible financial advantage is there in this to the club?

What exactly do you want the administrators to do about this?

Festy and most of the rest of the squad are out of contract in the summer. The EFL won't let us sign new contracts. If we get to summer in the same state they'll leave for free. Festy is just looking out for his own future and securing somewhere to play next year - absolutely nothing the admins can do about it.

How many other players are in the same contractual position as Festy for this summer? In other words, how many more could we lose like this?

Lawrence, buchanan, Byrne, Roos, Morrison, Allsop, Stearman, Kazim, Forsyth, Davies, watson, thompson and Cashin are all out of contract in the summer.

Of our starting 11 against huddersfield only Sibley and Knight would still be here if we still exist and if we're still not allowed to renew contracts. We'd still have Bielik as well, so thats something at least....

Much depends on his agent, not sure who he users, but they will be swaying younger players to do what’s rumoured to have happened. 

Great that Festy wants to stay and hopefully he dig his heels in, as if the situation does resolves itself then he will be offered a contract.  If it doesn’t, he won’t be short of options. 

He’s a great lad by all accounts (mad as a box of frogs).

The admins have taken far too long, I understand the issues but they must have outlined and understood these on day 2, if they're worth their salt. 

Feels like we are being asset stripped at the moment. The club valuation drops significantly without any players...

Does anybody follow him on social media ? He must of got wind of the rumours so it would give him the chance to deny the rumours

I'm praying !!

Yer him and his missus are on a Valentines Day trip to Amsterdam atm.

Not sure what hidden meaning that has but read into that what you will.

As other have said, there's zero the club can do about this. It is an inevitable consequence of the EFL refusing to let us extend contracts. So Festy is going to be the first of many, given most of the squad needs to sort themselves out with somewhere to play next season. 

The only possible solution is to get the club sale through as quickly as possible in a way that the EFL "graciously" allows us out of embargo and allows us to sign players on higher wages than the current minuscule (in football terms) cap.

If he is in Amsterdam, it doesn't mean that he ain't having a medical for the move. It's quite common practice to do those on a neutral ground during the season when the schedule is tight.

So hopefully, it was just a quick trip to smoke some pot as Joiner's is out of fashion.
