It shows utter disdain for all the other clubs in the league when he calls a meeting then doesn't bother shoving his fizzhog through the door, FFS.

marcx666 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) Derby County invited Middlesbrough owner Steve Gibson to scrutinise the club's accounts in private last month, Sky Sports News understands. The invitation, which was declined, came after Gibson first voiced doubts over Derby's compliance with EFL financial rules. Gibson was the leading voice in a group of Sky Bet Championship clubs who, on Wednesday, called for a change in the rules which would have meant all 24 clubs making their financial statements public, rather than submitting them in confidence to the EFL. Boro's owner feared that, whilst the EFL had issued no sanctions, Derby, Aston Villa and Sheffield Wednesday had not operated in the spirit of the rules. After a meeting, which took place at Nottingham Forest's City Ground that lasted almost five hours, the proposal was rejected by the remaining Championship clubs. It has also emerged that Gibson did not attend the meeting to push his case personally - instead, the club's chief executive Neil Bausor was Middlesbrough's representative. Sky Sports News has approached Middlesbrough for comment, but so far they have declined to do so.

Wasn't the meeting happening long before Gibson whinges about us and the other two. He just tried to highjack the meeting for his own gain. I am disappointed with DC and the other teams for not raising the issue of the limits when 10 out of 24 teams have some sort of additional income in the form of parachute payments.

I dunno regarding your first para, 0035. Just going on what I have seen on here. However, if the meeting was arranged prior to Gibson's accusations, then what was the meeting about in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EFL teams meet every few months to discuss changes to the game and improving the league they are due to meet again in a few months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you don’t think it occurred to them to raise the issue? Hence your disappointment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence your disappointment Dc is very reactive with everything he does, it one of the reason he has had so many issues whilst at the club. For me if I was at the meeting in the clubs corner I would have been arguing it is because of the parachute payments that so many clubs are now struggling to maintain the losses within the limits. If we do not want the 3 teams that come down to be the 3 that go up the following year we need to scrap parachute payments or allow teams not getting them to compete by their owners being allowed to put more money in. with clubs getting £40m a season head start on the rest of the league, more often than not the same teams will go back up again.

Quist Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 This was a daft proposal and goes against any form of company practice. It would be interesting to find out how many sides would be up for a PL2 and to do away with P&S altogether? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I know the official stance from the EFL. The EFL held a meeting on April 11th at the Hilton Preston. It was decided that we were Sheffield Wednesday and we'd do what we want. Furthermore, we'd be allowed to after Mr Chansiri's Elev8 brand would be used to sponsor the league.

Is it a private meeting or sponsored by the ELF ? The accounts have nothing to do with Middlesbrough we are answerable to the League. The best thing Chansiri could do is send in the club's legal team to represent the club Send a horses head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
