If you don't know how you want them to do it, just say so! Or don't you have the imagination you so rudely expect others to have?

No I don't, but I know what I'd want to the EFL to do to 'pressure' them. I'm wanting to find out what you'd want them to do.
How can anybody argue with something that someone won't tell them?As for what you've just said, that's exactly what the EFL do now that you don't think is doing enough! I though from what you said you had an idea of what they should do differently...
just 12 full time Senior players signed for next season at the moment

I though from what you said you had an idea of what they should do differently...Why are you digging out Hound on what's already very clear. Hound is right, the EFL have been very slow to react in this matter with Charlton now and in the past in the cases of Bury, Bolton and Sheff Wed. Anything they do, they they do slowly, they are always slow to react and invariably duck the issue unless pinned in a corner. This latest matter with Charlton should have been addressed long before now. OK the EFL have been requesting additional clarification and detail on the ownership, but equally have not made its position very clear. The club were only made aware for example that they were under a transfer embargo when they tried to sign players late last week and were refused, so not only have they been knocked back in terms of the new ownership and the fresh investment that was promised but also now cannot sign players with just 12 full time senior players signed for next season.I'm not defending Charlton or in any way sticking up for them but equally have some sympathy for the position that they find themselves yet again in trying to find a new owner and fresh investment. We are already in very difficult times, let alone uncharted waters. The football industry more than some is in dire straits with clubs having no income stream or ability to raise money through trading. So you would think that the EFL would be falling over themselves to try and resolve this latest issue with Charlton as quickly as possible.For me the EFL needs to be quicker to react and more transparent in its thinking and decision making and be there to govern, manage and direct rather than sitting in judgement putting up hurdles and barriers.
Is it just me, or do some people (not aimed at anyone in particular) think that the EFL has all kinds of powers which it can wield to bring unruly clubs into line.?Who at the EFL organisation is empowered to do all that.?I don’t know, that’s for sure. Clearly there are areas where the EFL management should be empowered (by its members) to respond and make authoritative decisions without having to go to a club vote every time - such as the Bolton fixture fiasco, where the existing EFL rules didn’t cover what to do in the event apart from going to an independent panel. There needs to be a huge EGM or extended AGM with enough notice for rule proposals to be submitted, and also for the members to review, in order to vote any rule changes in.But to consistently blame “the EFL” for every little thing wrong with football is becoming somewhat annoying..
But the point is does the decision making process allow for things to be done better, at the moment.?Clearly most would say this should happen, but that might need to be a change. That’s kind of the point I was making..I was gobsmacked to find out (last season) that there wasn’t a default punishment for failing to fulfil a league fixture without permission. It is so simple to write that the punishment is the fixture is forfeit and a nominal 2-0 victory awarded to the opposition.You probably can’t legislate for everything, but if the rules and procedures aren’t there, how is it fair to criticise the organisation for inaction, where it isn’t empowered to act.?
I know, if he'd just said that in the first place instead of getting all arsey about it (why, I don't know) it wouldn't have happened.

To your point, why are there not clear rules and penalties in place for not fulfilling a fixture, that has to be the absolute cardinal sin in football surely, so why did that scenario with Bolton rock on for so many weeks without being addressed and when it was nothing properly done about it?Surely thats what Hound's point is? How did we not get the points, why did it take weeks to resolve, why did they get off scott free...........................I could go on?
All I was asking is what pressure you thought the EFL could have put on ESI to get answers out of them. That is always what I was querying, which is why I highlighted that bit when I quoted you in the first place. Nothing else.

How did we not get the points, why did it take weeks to resolve, why did they get off scott free...........................I could go on?The problem with giving us the points was that other clubs were willing to object to us getting points without playing. This was obviously in their own interests as Bolton had picked up a bit but we're always going to be near or in the bottom four. I'm sure that Peterborough and others around us in the league disagreed with us getting any points awarded without playing when the EFL were mulling it over.
