Derby County

[The Bloop]

The takeover looks like it's fallen through.
I can't see how they can avoid liquidation now.

What an almighty mess

Re: Derby County

Deadlines for the takeover have come and gone. "It's happening today"....come and gone. Without the stadium DCFCs assets are worth substantially less than zero. Perhaps the "we're all having a party, cos Derby's closing down" chant at Pride Park was somewhat prophetic.

Mike Ashley will step in I reckon.

Yes, I think that you're right. If he can't get the stadium, he'll play matches in the car park at his warehouse in Derbyshire.

Re: Derby County

My uncle was a big Derby fan. In fact, the first game of football I ever went to was at the Baseball Ground. The famous Derby 3-2 Leeds game. I have no feelings for them though. They're just another team to me.

Re: Derby County

Re: Derby County

The League One fixture list comes out in 2 weeks.

If Derby is still in limbo at that point what do the EFL do? It can't drift on for ever.

Re: Derby County

Perhaps Bury could take their place. The EFL dropped them like a shit house seat.
