We were told weeks ago that the Middlesbrough ‘resolution’ was to be the turning point but it just seems to have been, yet another, false dawn.
I don't think its the time taken to resolve the matter rA, the EFL seem satisfied that the club can operate until the end of the season. The further penalties (15 pts deduction I think) would only come if the club came out of administration with a deal that saw creditors receive less than 25p in the £1 and/or football creditors not getting their full amount!

Hence why its taking time - if the only bids would result in a 15pt penalty, maybe the Administrators are playing it clever, hoping the club avoids relegation and the penalty is applied next season in the championship rather than League 1?

I do find it difficult to believe that they do not now know the final bids, the question is are they good enough? Does the club survive but pay a further penalty, or is it liquidation?
