Mind you, isn't it nice that the League are giving them so many chances?

It’s wrong but it would spoil the league for everyone if they went totally bust

Re: Derby are cutting it fine

they could deduct a few more points, just for taking so long, seems fair

Re: Derby are cutting it fine

As long as they go bust before tomorrow, it wouldn't affect us as we haven't played them yet but Peterborough, Barnsley, Reading, Bristol City and Birmingham would all lose points, so that wouldn't be too bad would it ?

We would only lose one point....Barnsley and Posh both three points.

There is no way they will go bust. They will see the season out.

Birmingham 4.

That would make things more interesting.

Rooney will be gone by the end of the week.
They can't afford him, also the players will be paid late..
I could be totally wrong of course, and Mike Ashley will put pen to paper before the game tomorrow, and with that enthusiasm will push derby to 3 0 winners

Good that they are treated in the same way as Bury...

WJ99mobile - I agree.

As much as the Derby owners etc should be punished for breaches, I hate the fact that clubs face extinction due to the failures of their owners and mismanagement. Yeah I understand clubs are businesses and should be subjected to commercial consequences like other businesses - but they are not like any other businesses are they... fans suffer most and I hate clubs being forced out of business.

There must be a different way of doing things.... better due diligence, more ongoing monitoring of transfers/spending, fans charter and fan representative on the board - maybe even all owners need to stick a significant deposit down which return is conditional on the way the club is run. I don't know. But fans and clubs heritage need protecting.

Re: Derby are cutting it fine

Still up in the air:


The EFL notes the statement issued today by Quantuma (Derby County Administrators) but remains deeply concerned at the lack of any form of substantial progress in respect of the outstanding matters affecting the Club.

Despite requesting an update almost 48 hours ago, there has been no communication from the Administrators with correspondence and calls from the EFL going unanswered.

As a result, the EFL still has no further information on the preferred bidder status or evidence of funding until the end of the season and has advised the Administrators that the lack of progress on these two critical issues, amongst others, is threatening the very future of Derby County Football Club.

The EFL has once again written to the Administrators requesting an immediate response to its questions so that the necessary and outstanding clarification is provided, not only for the League, but also for the benefit of the Club’s other stakeholders, including its supporters and the local community.

I'm sure the EFL will find a loophole to allow Derby time recover and find a solution

I blame Mr Pack...they could've been relegated..and then had minus 21 in the 3rd Div.
