I don’t want to make a thread but I’ve been told that DC will be there on Saturday  

Of all the rumours we’ve had lately it would be no surprise if this one was actually true. Hope he gets the reception he deserves or even better Charlton say you’re not welcome here sling your hook.

How would that work then? What about the clubs we have already played, would those results be binned? 

Who knows. We've never been in that situation before. The EFL can scrap those results or award 3 points for all the games we don't  play. 

Do you want to get chucked out of the league to find out?

In the very recent meeting between the trust and EFL. The EFL did say that is the sanctions they could/would apply if fans got matches abandoned. Go read it, it's  one of the last things discussed.

Don't  doubt they are serious, the integrity of their league is their ultimate responsibility.

EFL are not exactly moving at speed with Chansiri, charged in June and no hearing yet (though they say it will be this year).

 

They're like sloths on a go slow.

I think they have deliberately held off sanctions so as to not put buyers off the club. My interpretation is they are trying their best but are somewhat limited by their rules.

They now appear to have given up hope of DC selling and are moving to turn up the pressure on him with points deductions. Reading between the lines of the Trust/EFL meeting they are telling us admin/winding up order is on its  way as DC can't  pay HMRC.

The players and staff could end it immediately 

They won't. The players have said so. The staff might take industrial action but I doubt it.

It's  down to the fans to starve him of money.

What are the EFL on about when they asked the Trust if they are prepared for an insolvency event? What can the Trust actually do?

Ask the trust. All I can say is they have a working party looking good into options. What that means in practice is have no idea.

Could somebody from the Trust elucidate what the EFL meant here? It all sounds so imminent and dire.

Insolvency Event 

Can mean filing for bankruptcy.

What the Trust can do, who knows

We won’t start next season at this rate. No players will join, EFL sanctions will stop contracts being signed, no one will want to renew.

 

Hes trading insolvent which should be enough to take it further.

 

I still think he’s doing this deliberately and out of spite. He doesn’t give a crap

he’ll sell any remaining assets including kids like weaver, sell lowe etc and go again with a fresh bunch of academy players. 

EFL havent helped any other clubs out and arent going to change that for us sadly. THEY arent fit and proper

I often thought this, but couldn't the trust take control of the club if needed

I know they couldn't inject money themselves but there would be ways of generating income and fans could pay a monthly subscription of different tiers depending on what you can afford and all have a say on the important things. Surely our fan base with the Sky money and match income we could at least keep the club running and pay players and staff until it can be sold to someone actually capable of taking us forward.

I think with Reading and us the efl have finally realised that they don't have the appropriate powers to run the game.....they are clearly expecting the regulator to do the dirty work for them,  rather than increase their powers

You can guarantee the PL will soon get involved and the efl will end up as weak as the FA (once all powerful) are now

I thought it meant ‘find a buyer/backer’ of your own / work with one

Was just going to say how long before the EFL and regulator are at odds with each other !  

If the FA had any balls they would have told the premier league when it formed, if you do this no FA Cup ,no League cup and  no players picked for international honours.

Yep, try to get a consortium ready to act as soon as insolvency is triggered.
