Mr Popodopolous Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) Seen a suggestion by Nixon that the magic number to avoid EFL Points penalties is £45m. Unsure if that's including the stadium/MSD security. He seems bullish about Derby not going bust. On another note, total radio silence on the HMRC issues and has been for some time now. The last we know is that the debt is £36m. EFL Insolvency rules state either 25% straight away or 35% in 3 years to unsecured creditors. That'd be £9m or £12.6m over 3 years. Although Preferential and Unsecured are surely a different category. I also don't get why they are talking about Ashley investing big when there would surely be an EFL monitored business plan for 2-3 years to reflect the advantage gained via Insolvency.

chinapig Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) SSN reporting that Ashley has been in touch with Quantuma but had no reply. They have a history of not replying to emails from the EFL of course. They do not seem to know about any extension for Kirchner though. Also that they do have access to more loans if necessary, presumably from MSD. But that would just add to the debt of course. Sh1t creek appears to be a paddle free zone.

Mr Popodopolous Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) Anyone want a good laugh? Good grief!! (Email addresses redacted for privacy purposes etc). Which is more than the poster did. No need to redact Couhig or Gibson as we all know who they are. I had a look at some other Derby forums for a more balanced perspective- this was one of them though!! I will stress that this was NOT from DCFCFans and tbh nobody replied to the thread in any event but it's quite the take. Quote Here's an exchange of emails between a Rams fan, and the EFL and the Met. Make of it what you will. It's a long read..... From: a Rams fan Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2022 10:18 AM To: efl Subject: EFL and Derby County FC Administration Mr and Mr It seems clear that the case of Derby County FC administration is now a far more complicated matter than it ought to be, particularly for the business to exit administration and/or to avoid liquidation, and the EFL are one of the key players in them being able to do so or not. What concerns me is the EFL feeling a little rattled and obliged to deny in a public statement there is a ‘vendetta’ against DCFC, something its prior owner had first accused it of. Either way I believe some of the following (not a complete listing of potential issues) needs to be explained fully and evidenced: Why the EFL: 1. Didn’t accept its original Disciplinary Tribunal exoneration of DCFC? 2. Didn’t accept £100k fine & no sporting sanctions handed down by the separate Tribunal on Appeal? 3. Introduced a new rule on squad size to include U23players with 1+ appearances applied to DCFC? 4. Act by insisting Quantuma (DCFC Administrators) accept the disputed FFP penalty against DCFC? 5. Admitted in meetings with MPs and in your interview (Mr Parry’s) with The Athletic podcast that Middlesbrough legal claims were originally against the EFL but these were withdrawn following the EFL actions outlined above against DCFC. 6. Haven’t intervened to overcome the legal claims by 2 of its members, Middlesbrough AFC (their owner) and Wycombe Wanderers (their owner), that are the major obstacles to saving Derby County FC from liquidation. Therefore it seems there’s enough evidence to support an accusation that the EFL have acted many times having been prompted by one of its member clubs, whether through collusion or coercion, to the detriment of another. It’s also clear that the EFL being so prompted has been/is an agent of one of its member clubs with a fiduciary interest, via pending civil legal claims against another member.

EFL From: RamsFan Sent: Monday, January 24, 2022 2:40 PM To: The Police Cc: The Police Subject: Fw: EFL and Derby County FC Administration Dear Ms/Sirs I, along with many thousands of others, have been keeping a watching brief on events concerning Derby County FC that are now becoming ones of national attention and concern, including in parliament. Though it may well seem that the issues are of a civil and/or commercial nature there are aspects that raise questions of possible criminality in the sphere of potential conspiracy and coercion, which in itself may also fall into realms of being extortion, regarding the actions of the English Football League (EFL) Middlesbrough AFC (their owner, known as Mr) and Wycombe Wanderers FC (their owner, known as Mr). I have communicated such a possibility to senior officers of the EFL and asked they provide reassurance to the contrary. (see email below) That reassurance has not been forthcoming. Therefore, because the EFL offices – 55 Blandford Street W1U 7HW - are in your jurisdiction I’m asking you to undertake a preliminary review on the scope for a full investigation into potential criminality outlined? I raise this in relation to the following CPS on-line guidance: 1. Conspiracy – Statutory and Common law offences https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/inchoateoffences#:~:text=A%20conspiracy%20is%20an%20agreement,criminal%20act%20itself%3A%20Mulca hy%20v In relation to: i. The nature and scope of communications and discussions between the EFL and Middlesbrough leading to the apparent agreement for the club to cease any litigation against the EFL and for the EFL to enact disciplinary proceedings against Derby County FC. ii. Similarly any collusion between the EFL and Middlesbrough in regard to the EFL decision to seek to overturn its own Disciplinary Tribunal decision to exonerate Derby County FC from all charges initially brought against it. iii. Again potential collusion/conspiracy with reference to the EFL actions regarding its dealings with Quantuma, the Administrators appointed to oversee Derby County FC, to accept its proposed 9point deduction Financial Fair Play sanction thus enabling both Middlesbrough AFC and Wycombe Wanderers FC claims for compensation from DCFC. iv. The continuing role of the EFL in the administration process of DCFC relating to the unwarranted compensation claims from Middlesbrough and Wycombe Wanderers, specifically regarding the classification of those claims as potential football creditor debts/or otherwise, effectively being a block to the exit of Derby County FC from administration. 2. Extortion/Blackmail in regard to unwarranted demands: https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/theft-act-offences#c62 Regarding: i. Points 1.i-iv, above if not via collusion/conspiracy between the EFL and Middlesbrough AFC then by possible coercion, by way of threats, upon the EFL by Middlesbrough AFC. ii. The unwarranted nature of the speculative, spurious, opportunistic and inflated compensation claims upon Derby County FC by Middlesbrough and Wycombe Wanderers seemingly being facilitated by the EFL, effectively holding Quantuma, as Administrators appointed to DCFC, and any potential purchasers of Derby County FC to ransom in trying to complete an effective takeover and exit of DCFC from administration. This is reinforced by the recent announcements from Middlesbrough and Wycombe Wanderers that they are prepared to reach a “compromise” upon their initial claims for “more realistic” amounts. Given it is widely reported and seemingly well understood that Derby County FC may go out of business within a week, through enforced liquidation by its Administrators, I suggest an immediate review of the potential scope for a fuller criminal investigation be completed and a decision taken this week? There’s plenty of evidence in the public domain already, but I’m content for you to contact me if you consider I might be able to provide any assistance. sincerely Rams Fan From: The Police Sent: Monday, January 24, 2022 3:04 PM To: RamsFan Subject: Your recent submission Thank you for completing the form, your reference is: CDS-12425-22-0100-000. Tell us what you think of our online service Feedback on your experience of using our online services genuinely helps us to make sure they work as well as possible. From: EFL Enquiries Sent: Friday, January 28, 2022 11:22 AM To: Rams Fan Subject: RE: EFL and Derby County FC Administration Hello Andrew Thank you for the email below, addressed to the CEO and Chairman of the EFL, we acknowledge your comments and recognise that this is a concerning time for all connected to Derby County. It is first worth clarifying that, due to a range of matters that remain ongoing, it is not possible for us to provide detailed responses on a number of points you raise, however, as has been the case with numerous updates and statements over the past ten days, where it is possible to provide information, we will do so. In response to your point about a ‘vendetta’, as has been addressed by the EFL Chairman in recent media interviews, why would we have one? The EFL is no more than the 72 Clubs it represents, the Clubs that own the league, that set the rules. We’re trying to find the right solution for Derby County, while considering the collective needs of the 72 in the context of our current regulations. Over recent weeks the League has been contacted by a large number of supporters claiming there is a vendetta, and based on the intense local and national media interest, and a range of erroneous reporting, social media comment and fan communication, the EFL wished to clarify its position. In respect of matters referred to regarding the original commission hearings, and sanctions on Derby County, all of these have been reported and clarified in a number of previous statements. You can access and read the full Independent Commission judgements from 2019-2021 via the EFL.com website here https://www.efl.com/- more/governance/judgments-and-decisions/. It is again worth clarifying here that this is an independent process, set out under our regulations. The EFL does not unilaterally decide the outcome of any charges brought in respect of its rules. To this point it is again worth noting that, regarding the sporting sanctions which were imposed this season, 12 points were deducted as consequence of the Club itself appointing Administrators. A further 9 points were agreed with the Club, by way of an Agreed Decision which was ratified by an Independent Disciplinary Commission Chair as per the requirements of the EFL Regulations after the Club admitted to breaches of the EFL’s P&S rules. Finally, your question relating to the EFL ‘intervening to overcome the legal claims by 2 of its members’, has again been covered in a number of recent updates. While the regulations provide for arbitration between Clubs, the EFL is not strictly party to any such proceedings. The current situation remains challenging as Middlesbrough and Wycombe Wanderers consider their claims should be protected under the terms of the Insolvency Policy. The Administrators disagree. Further, as those claims are not yet determined the Administrators and bidders have no clarity on the size of any (if any) liability. As has been widely reported, that has implications for exiting administration. The EFL has recently stated that it remains in dialogue with all parties in an attempt to constructively move the matter forward. Indeed, following ongoing discussion with Derby County’s Administrators, on Thursday 27 January, the EFL released an updated statement (read here) in conjunction with Quantuma, to confirm that a month-long extension to the deadline set for proof of funding to be provided has been agreed. This will provide the Club with additional time to meet its ongoing obligations, continue discussions with interested bidders, alongside providing additional time to seek clarity on the claims from Middlesbrough and Wycombe. The latest statement follows two previous updates, including a Q&A released on Monday 17 January, and on Thursday 20 January, which can be read here. In relation to your ongoing queries, while we are limited to what additional detail we can provide given the ongoing discussion, both contain a range of information which, if you have not yet read, provide some context to the current ongoing issues impacting the Club, and the EFL’s position. I hope that information has assisted, and please be assured that the EFL is aware of the ongoing challenges faced and the concern from all those supporters and stakeholders impacted by ongoing matters. We remain committed to addressing the many challenges at hand and we will look to provide updates as soon as we are able to. Thank you for contacting the EFL. Kind Regards Supporter Services Department EFL From: The Police Sent: Saturday, January 29, 2022 12:08 PM To: RamsFan Subject: Online form submission: X Good afternoon, With regards to your query, this would be an investigation for the FA/EFL, and not the Police at this stage. Kind Regards, The Police From: RamsFan Sent: 29 January 2022 15:42 To: Police Subject: Re: Online form submission: X Thank you for the update to my email progress chasing enquiry earlier today. Obviously I have a different opinion, based on the original submission I made to the Met in the context of clear CPS guidance on incohate offences I referenced. I don’t see how the EFL can be adjudged to be in charge of any investigation when it is about issues involving themselves and their own potential wrongdoing? I had attempted to send an email initially to the Met but this was rejected as undeliverable and I had to resort to the on-line reporting and, because this is limited in number of characters, the ‘meat’ of the issues I raised may have been lost in the formatting of the message? Therefore I attach a copy of that email, along with supporting correspondence, for your records because the proper formatting articulates more clearly the issues. Given the Met says it has no interest or remit presently I will consider raising the issues of concern elsewhere, probably to the group of MPs presently engaged in matters on behalf of Derby County FC. Regards RamsFan From: The Police Sent: Saturday, January 29, 2022 4:48 PM To: Rams Fan Subject: Online form submission: X Good Afternoon, Please report this matter to the FA or the EFL and ask for it to be investigated.

Mr Popodopolous Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) Quote Evening. My ears were burning so I thought I'd swing buy and see what's going on. And we're discussing that cretin, Mel Morris are we? Well, as I haven't been here for a while, I'll contribute a short essay!: Many fans were unhappy with GSE, opinions were spilt on this forum I think. Bloomer was very anti the Americans, stating that he would no longer attend games while they were running the show. This was because of a widely held idiology with football fans of all clubs that there is some devine right that fans have to demand owners spend whatever it takes to achieve success, no matter how much it is and how much money they might lose. he history of this goes back to the early days of the Premier League, with clubs like Blackburn starting the trend. Spend money and you too can win the league. Only a few years before Blackburns success they'd been an average team hovering between the second and third tiers, then came Jack Walker and... BOOM! It was Abramovich who really started the spending boom though and everyone else piled in from there. Pundits and journo's were partly to blame too, often commenting on and clubs owners not showing enough 'ambition' (not spending enough) and fans lapped it up. I heard many people complaining about GSE not showing that amnition, not 'investing' was also a popular term, as was an accusation that they were 'creaming off the profits'. Yet the club was still clearly losing money, it was right there to see but people only see what they want to see and what they wanted to see was that the Americans were bad and a new local millionaire owner was good. Mob mentality completely forgot that the GSE era brought us the best team (arguably) since our Jim Smith promotion year, and nearly managed to go up itself. Then step forward Mel Morris. An ego 100 times the size of Afgoons stationary budget, with claims of guaranteed promotion (everyone remebers that, right?), constant manager changes, overspending on players that simply weren't worth it, the stupid 'The Derby Way' nonsense, and talks of legacy. Hindsight may be easy but there were warning signs that had me very worried: First was the spending and the kind of player that was coming in for these daft amounts. Second was some of the managerial tinkering and appointments - the majority of the fans were frothing at the mouth at the news Frank Lampard had been signed as manager but it seems I was one of a tiny minority that was not only worried but realised Morris had finally lost the plot. My reasons were that there was already talk of having to trim costs and after constant changes it was important to find an experienced manager and start to rebuild again but for the LONG TERM, not just one or two seasons of high impact. Lampard was a big name, a very high profile but he had zero managerial experience and had spent the previous year out of football playing TV personality on shows with James Corden and Holly Willoughby. Only one of two things was likely to happen with his appointment - 1. He does well and gets lured to London, probably West Ham or Chelsea (this was before Moyes had properly established himself), or 2. he does badly and we sack him. Neither was likely to last more than a year or two tops, and then we'd be back to yet another manager and another rebuild... again. And so the cycle continues. But no, he went for the big name and it just made no sense once you looked passed the hype. And guess what happened, he did well and went to Chelsea. When I say he 'did well', we kind of fluked it to get into the top 6, we rarely looked good enough and if Boro hadn't lost something like 7 games in a row then we'd never have made it. We beat Leeds on that wonderful, amazing night that I will never forget (actually, I can't remember the end of it because I'd been drinking in the Sports Bar all night and I'm not sure how I got home, but I remember the match, which is the important bit) and I do remember that we were dead and buried and Leeds were coasting before they got cocky, took their eye off the ball (literally) and gifted us the first goal. After that we were amazing but the better team certainly didn't win. he did k, basically his main contribution was to sign Mason Mount for the season. Take that away and we'd have finished mid table. But the biggest red flag was the stadium sale. Firstly I don't agree with clubs doing it, regardless of whether it's a rule or not. But my biggest issue wasn't whether it broke a rule or didn't break a rule, it was how did we get into such a state where it was necessary in the first place. That was a sign that we were in real trouble - but did it bother most fans? Some yes, but many just accepted it because, to them, football is about the 'now'. There is a culture of impatience amongst football fans, as well as hypocricy - for example: fans of other clubs criticise Derby fans for supporting Morris and yet they would have done exactly the same thing if the situation at their club was the same - because football fans are not genetically different to each other. There is no such thing as 'this club has better fans that that club', it's a myh, a sort of fallacy fuelled by tribalsm that is both good and bad for the game. Take Chelsea as another example - some fans are saying that the Chelsea fans deserve their club to be in trouble because they have been funded by a Billionaire mate of Putin, and yet there is no club in the land that would have turned him away if he'd arrived knocking on their doors at any point priorto Russias invasion of Ukraine. Newcastle fans don't care where their owners money comes from, or what their record of human rights are, or their involvement in the humanitarian catastrophy in Yemen that they have been a part of. And Bournemouth have a Russian owner (although i think he's now a British citizen, so no sanctions likely). Did anyone at Everton care that they had a Russian owner? The point being, as long as they're spending money, fans don't care. GSE weren't spending - demonstrations outside the ground. Morris spends stupid money on players that aren't worth it and then sells the stadium - fans call him a business genius and say he's playing the EFL like a puppet. Morris is 100% responsible for our situation. To some degree he's probably unlucky that Covid came along and wrecked any chance he had of selling or getting additional investment, which then led to administration. But when you gamble like that then you have to accept the risk and he clearly did. What is more annoying, is he still seems to seek to blame everyone else. BUT.. to some extent, fans are also to blame. Not specifially just Derby fans, all fans. Fans have to level their expectations. It's all very well and good saying that we're happy to be frugal as long as we stay in business, but how long will that last? Fans have short memories. There has to be a shift in the game, a change of thinking. I don't know if the rumours are true about his involvement in a new bid for ownership. It seems far fetched, although with his ego?? But if it did happen, I would be done. I will not associate myself with a club with that man involved, not after what he's done, and the way he's behaved. Loyalty is one thing but I'd be embarrassed to call myself a Derby fan with him at the club. So I hope it isn't true. From the same forum I was browsing earlier, still had a thread open. it's a bit of an essay but thought I must post it in the interest of balance. Not really read it properly myself but who knows maybe it represents the silent majority of Derby fans?
