Of course the other way of looking at it is by EFL declaring £5m required by end of Jan or you are out, makes a few business men sit up and stop mucking about over £1m here or there. The EFL has banged a few heads together. One of the potential bidders has to say they will put forward £5m and pick up the tab from Boro/Wycombe outcome. If Ashley/Appleby or anyone else is serious they are in a position to do this. In practice I can’t see either claims amounting to much. Problem comes if all buyers walk away. EFL has pulled plug on DCFC. They are a founder member of league and not quite the same as Bury.
