The administrative errors included not understanding & taking seriously enough the rules, thinking we could get away with an agreement and situation with Villa that they themselves were ok with until very late June when we tried to buy Barry (and thankfully didn't). Yes, the club were trying to delay paying (cash flow management). Our owner wasn't and isn't skint, proven by how money magically appeared within days of having to pay it and how the club kept and keeps spending on all sorts of stuff. The EFL have their rules and I can see why they had to apply them, as should have the club. If you have a narrative against the owner, you can try to rewrite it all as you want, but the facts are the facts, as I have listed them and which I continue to wait for anyone to disprove.
