Not all but plenty of them absolutely- the cognitive dissonance with these matters, FFP, EFL in general of a good number is off the charts! The conspiracy theories, the entitlement- the inability or should that be the refusal to see the wood for the trees ie worrying about new signings when the clubs very existence was and maybe still is hanging in the balance, the inability to grasp FFP and how big a mess they were in ranging from issues up to 2018 and not factoring in the fact that there may have been huge issues beyond, the insistence 2 years ago from some who seem like accountants that it was the club not the consolidator used for FFP, could go on- tell me when to stop!

NcnsBcfc Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 11 hours ago, Midred said: Will expulsion be incredibly imminent I have to say the EFL have just through the whole Derby episode come across as incredibly gutless. Ultimately MM has the funds but not the willing to sort this situation out. Not unlike the Bury situation from a few years ago. I get that Derby are potentially a huge club to be thrown out of the league, but the effectiveness of the EFL as a rule enforcing body for the other 71 clubs must be at stake now. They come across as not fit for purpose. If there are a set of rules that clubs have signed up to, they need to be enforced without fear or favour. If they allow one club to dominate/bully them, then their own impartiality and effectiveness can be called into question. It still leaves a bitter taste, listening to Richard Gould saying that the club are working with the EFL to reform PP's and FFP; whilst conforming to the current protocols. Whilst there are clubs that in the past have flouted the said rules with little or no come back. What better way for the EFL to start to become the organisation everyone wants it to be, than to come down hard now on the whole fiasco; and grow a set of balls again. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFL Board have long since been known to favour certain clubs over others, that's why they did for Macclesfield who messed them around once too often despite being no worse off than other clubs the EFL bent over backwards to save. Derby have surpassed Macclesfield in the contempt with which they treat and hold their peers, the EFL and supporters in general. EFL have made mistakes but need to stop the rot today and if that requires the politically unpopular permanent explusion of Derby County, that's a price worth paying. 5 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or liquidation. 2 more from Dorsett: EXCL: been told Andy Appleby and Steve Morgan bids for #dcfc are “not easily resurrectable”, and real danger of liquidation if Kirchner deal falls through. Both Morgan and Appleby consortiums have lost investors since not getting preferred bidder status. Dialogue still open tho. EXCL: Mike Ashley bid being ignored by administrators because Ashley is refusing to pay Quantuma fees, thought to be several million pounds. Still no communication on that front. If Kirchner bid fails, #dcfc seem to have limited options. Other deals may be poss, but not quickly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might want to have a word with Dustin Johnson at the LIV golf. He can probably invest a few million from the £150m he's being paid by Saudi Arabia.

BTRFTG Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 If you've ever worked closely with Saudis you'll appreciate there's a raft of difference between what one is owed and that one eventually receives (akin Derby and their creditors......) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Richard Bland was honest enough to admit that at 48 (I think) and having waited until his late 40s for his first ever win on tour, that it was the money. He's never earned the money that DJ, Sergio, Westwood and the like have, and was honest to admit that it would secure his family for life. Mickelson is reputed to be worth $400, despite his gambling debts, so why he needs Saudi money and the adverse publicity it's attracted is anyone's guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
