No 2 is r nilsson

I was there but too young to understand why Millwall fans were on our end when we were playing Charlton. I think I was just upset at the result. The cup seemed to mean more back then.

Please continue to press home this message. He needs to understand that he is completely isolated, and to feel it. He has no voice and no status.

I’ve posted the same thing a few times but worth another post. In 30 years going to games with wife and 5 mixed race children (2 now grown up) I’ve never once experienced any racism, home or away. I’m sure it happens and it’s pathetic but it must be just the occasional idiot.

When power is given to the regulator the EFL will finally be exposed to scrutiny as a self-interested members’ club. There have been a few exceptions like Reading but way too many clubs have been allowed to fall or suffer greatly. Clive is doing a wonderful job showing the EFL to the world as it really is, which may not do us any good right now but it opens the door for a regulator with real powers, which is long overdue.

If it is Textor then he’s on record as saying that he wants to develop an integrated player development structure across a few clubs in different countries and that he was frustrated that Palace didn’t support his plans well enough with this. If he appoints a technical director to look at this (as well someone to run the club) then he may not be perfect but that’s got to be a huge step forwards

If a group plans to look at this I would join them, assuming the model was right. I know a few others who would also. The trust seems to have done a lot of the dd already. Maybe they could pull an interested group together.

I agree the club needs to be sustainable, but the club is able to trade as a going concern only because. Chansiri agreed in the accounts to cover the losses. This creates an obligation that he has to fulfil, but has failed to.

Yes the threats worked in the end. It’s more difficult for us because we don’t have an obvious buyer yet, and all the loans and the ground sale is a mess.

The reports say that the EFL would have disqualified Reading if he didn’t sell. I agree, technically he could have just said fine and let Reading fall out of the league, but the EFL still forced the issue as well as they could - eventually. I actually don’t know which way Chansiri would go if faced with this and possibly administration is a better option. The other problem is not having a clear buyer, in spite of all the talk.

We could be suspended from the league, but in Reading’s case he sold within the deadline. We need a buyer ready to buy to do this - I don’t know if the consortium are ready. In Reading’s case they ordered a sale. I’m not sure what more jurisdiction they need.

Insolvency is on the list.

How do the disqualification rules apply if not to disqualify the owner from owning?

We’ll hopefully see when they review Chansiri’s charges. I think it may be easier to enforce the disqualification if a buyer could be clearly identified and a reasonable price could be established. The terms of a deal are a whole other minefield that the EFL may use as an excuse for not acting.

The EFL has rules for disqualifying owners of football clubs. They’re specific to football clubs. If they could be applied to disqualify Chansiri he’d be forced to sell, and remover as a director. The only possibility we have is insolvency, and under the current circumstances there’s a slim possibility that the EFL could be mover to act. The intention of these rules is to ensure football club owners are responsible and behave properly. Neither applies to Chansiri.

I think the EFL should engage (not supersede) trained professionals to review the current position. The historic position was tenuous but as it stands now I think it may be difficult for an accountant to allow Chansiri’s statement to pay debts as they fall due to stand, and that the club wasn’t technically now insolvent, and arguably seeking to trade whilst insolvent. This is before we get into any arguments about the value put in the stadium sale etc.
