@Fleety10@mickenell@robstaton@EFL I don't think you understand how X or the EFL work. You know they don't reply to randoms shouting into the void ? Even when they're entitled Wednesday fans like you?
@robstaton@MG117_@finswfc1@tomosuto_@adam3oxley But Chansiri used that money in pursuit of success - which fans were solidly behind. You're advocating that fans should be able to have their cake and eat it, like the fact that Chansiri was incompetent means the rules shouldn't apply to them.
@Fleety10@mickenell@robstaton@EFL I mean, the EFL really isn't answerable to you, especially not on a public forum, so I'm not quite sure what you were hoping for?
@mickenell@Fleety10@robstaton@EFL Only someone insecure about him or herself resorts to attacking the person rather than the substance of the argument.
You collectively as a fanbase, as you're well aware. It was far more than a small minority!
@robstaton Sorry, but... "If you reduce the -15, we'll invest in our asset for our benefit"? Hardly a compelling sell to the rest of the EFL!
Also, the infrastructure issues have been known for years, so that looks like prepping the ground to withdraw.
@ChrisMoran_101@Jebadoo2 Yes, but this government will travel miles to find the biggest tank it can, in order to completely obliterate its own foot in the most dramatic way possible. So anything is possible 🤷.
@Jebadoo2 I sort of have some limited sympathy. I'm a pacifist at heart, which means I'd struggle to vote as an MP to send people to fight. The difference is I recognise that this should disqualify me from being elected, so I don't stand. My principles aren't practical in the real-world.
@AlanBiggs1 If he could have been prosecuted under UK Law (i.e. the Bribery Act 2010 S6), which he likely could, then that would disqualify him under the Owners and Directors Test.
But that would require you lot as journalists to ask questions, which would be a novel approach!
@AlanBiggs1 AAR reported bribery to the SEC and DOJ, but only once they knew they were going to be caught. The docs are clear it was not a "low level employee", but with the knowledge of "AAR Executives". David Storch was the CEO at the time.
@henrywinter@andyjm_ Part of the problem they have is that they spent God knows how much trying to rise to those upper echelons. Broke EFL rules doing so, hence the earlier 6-point deduction. The fans loved it then. He gave them what the want, now they should take the bloody medicine.
@MarkNadin1@robstaton@BBCSheffield No, just 20 mins break at a motorway services, without any ability to get the game on the radio. 🤷 I'm interested because it's bants, no? I'm sure you'd be all over it if the positions were reversed!
@MarkNadin1@robstaton@BBCSheffield What, like begging the EFL to ignore it's own rules "for the fans"?
At best, Storch was CEO at a time when two major bribery events happened. He's either incompetent, or corrupt. Neither nodes well, and of it's the latter then you're back to another bidder in 8 weeks...
