Strett, the only time you ever come on here is to try to do a bit of trolling. If you have anything worthwhile to contribute then you're welcome, but if as it appears all you are interested in is cheap baiting and stirring then there are plenty of other places where you would find like-minded souls. I doubt any fans on this site would be party to the things you describe so what's the point? Clear off, there's a good chap.

Sorry everybody. I have met Strett in person away from this site and found him to be a decent guy. For some reason he gets a kick from trying to spread a bit of hate in the name of "banter". We have enough to worry about at the moment without giving space to this sort of thing. If he wants to take the mickey over Forest beating Derby then he can do that on the match thread. It's quite hard to see what his motivation is on here other than simple nastiness. Why bother? He's an intelligent bloke with his own business, surely he has better things to do. I would suggest non-engagement with him, all he wants to do is to provoke a reaction. It must light up his life when people react. If he says anything worthwhile I'll leave it on here, but if not I'll delete.

Well that's nice.
EFL statement: the proposed meeting planned for today of stakeholders has been postponed because of "positive developments over the weekend". The delay is to give the administrators a bit more time to sort stuff out. A ray of hope maybe?

Conflict of interest? How very dare you!

I understand that anyone on the EFL board, who has a conflict of interests, cannot attend/have a voice on the matter.
Yes, I am certain that they keep their thoughts very much to themselves outside of meetings and never discuss it at all. I'm certain that Steve Gibson has never spoken to Rick Parry for example, and told him that Middlesbrough will sue the EFL unless the EFL does exactly what he says. Yes, I'm as sure as you are that they "cannot have a voice on the matter."
Adding to Vidal's comments re conflict of interest here's an imaginary conversation between Parry (let's call him P) and Gibson's EFL Board rep (let's call him G).
Scene 1: one of the corridors of power at EFL
G: "HI, P, fancy a coffee at Starbuck's cos I can't attend the meeting coming up on DCFC."
P: "Great, we've got an hour."
Scene 2 - Starbucks.
G. "I'm going to get that so-and-so Morris if it's the last thing I do but because he's hiding behind company law I've got to screw DCFC".
P: "I get it, G. Don't worry. Rules are rules and we've got to apply them."
G: "Yes you have and remember, if you don't apply them in full and to the letter, I've got a brilliant tame solicitor who, as it happens, dislikes EFL intensely."
P: "Grief, G, relax. Remember you can bring any claim you like agin DCFC via our arbitration scheme. If you do that it could well scupper any sale of that b....y club and then they're screwed.!"
G: "Great, thanks P but what can you do personally to help as well?"
P: "I do have influence you know, G".
Curtain.
Is that so unlikely a scenario? No. The Boro rep should have resigned from EFL board just as Pearce resigned some time ago.
