    thought you had to be in administration by mid March for points to hit this year?

    Anyway reading the court documents the dispute is more about ownership rather than anything else. Depending on what is decided at some later date they may have broken various ownership rules but at the moment the court haven’t declared who actually owns it just that Power can not sell 50% of the club without written permission from Standing

    Reading the court transcript I have a feeling it's worse than you describe, Pablo.

    We voted for the season to end, we wouldn’t have won the vote but it indicates we weren’t bothered about going for promotion nor Port Vale. Finance stability obviously has to come first, but had Rupp offered to offset any losses incurred by finishing the season out vote would have been different. And that’s all it is a vote, as far as I’m aware the EFL haven’t made anything official yet. But we’ve well and truly shown our intentions and as usual it is to tread water.

    From reading the court documents and the Twitter thread linked here I honestly don’t think the person on twitter has read both judgements fully. He seems to have got the importance of the two cases the wrong way round. The major decision is the Standing/Power one, the other one is more of a side show

    I won’t pretend I read them, I skimmed at best.
    We’ve shown our hand and it’s over.

    Just to be a bit of a s**t-stirrer, was the season frozen after the last game I.e. 7th March? Don’t know about mid-March for Administration to apply. Where is the season at the moment, March or May?

    Let's hope we get wage caps per division so that we never have to hear any more drivel about cheap tickets being a bad thing.

    Treading water might, for once, be a better option. I see the Exeter Chairman has come out today and a bit like Cheltenham is casting doubt on the cost of the playoffs. EFL under pressure now and strong leadership needed even if some don't like it.

    To do what though mate?

    Seems like Exeter and Cheltenham are wanting someone to pay the 150k for the testing.

    Promotion and relegation has to happen in my mind.

    The problem with testing isn't going to go away though and this is why I highly doubt div 2 and non league football happens if the likes of Exeter, Cheltenham and Bradford are moaning already and next season isn't planned as yet for the EFL.

    I have heard no moaning from anyone at city. I think Ryan Sparks is doing a good job as spokesman for the club who have been as positive as it’s possible to be under the circumstances

    I honestly don't want to hear from him in moments like this.

    I want to hear from Rhodes and Rupp!

    So sports minister says he says been in talks with the PL,EFL and FA again today about the broadcasting.

    Seems the plan is because no fans 3pm games could be free to air but all depends on Sky and BT. Reading between the line the PL, EFL and FA with the government are talking to the likes of the BBC, ITV, Channel4/5 about a broadcasting package and that money will go down to lower league football.

    Because Rhodes is a coward? Face your fans!

    No one cares about Ryan in what he has to say in times like this. Rupp and Rhodes to face up.
