DavesaRam Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 It fits on to one page because it misses out all the back stories from previous years that helped to set all of this up, such as why the EFL were determined to do the club down, or how Steve Gibson managed to poke his nose in.

A lot of nuances left out, complicated discussion of grey areas, others interests and actions in relation to us, the frequently vindictive attitude from certain parties, the relentless demonisation in the media. However, that's in the past now. Ghost of Clough and Reggie Greenwood 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Skips over why it took from May to November to go from the EFL winning the appeal to a points deduction being applied - because the appeal only decided we had to restate the accounts using a valid amortisation policy, not necessarily straight-line. It was also only because we went in to administration and the administrators gave in to the EFL's blackmailing that the took the penalty rather than fight it. It also says an "additional 12-point deduction", when it was 12 first, then 9. Carl Sagan and RadioactiveWaste 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little skewed from the BBC/Simon Stone, Anyone outside of DCFC will look at it as tho we were caught fiddling the books, When in truth certain parties/organisations went hammer and tongue for their pound of flesh?

Foreveram Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Lawrence and Bennett avoided jail in bold type, although it was never an offence that was was likely to send them to prison although that was the narrative that was spread across every other clubs fanbase.

Forest for example with their associate club. central message should be this could easily have happened to any other club .. including Boro if Gibson decided to pull the plug. Or villa if they had lost and we had won. Dordogne-Ram, RadioactiveWaste and Reggie Greenwood 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like a presentation in a conference room...bullet points, When in reality the nitty gritty is left well alone as the real story would match War and Peace ?

That's just because it's a link to the news story about the incident. Weird that Wycombe get a mention but not Middlesborough, when that was a far bigger stumbling block.
