I remember when we played them at the start of the 2002/03. We had just won promotion and their match day programme made a derogatory comment about just how far they had fallen in that they were playing Reading.

Spot on its all about poor old badly run Derby.Originally Posted by Eric the Half a Bee
It's a pity Wycombe can't sue the EFL for not taking action when they should have ie last year .
Let’s be proud that our club hasn’t ever gone into administration.
Plenty have and taken the easy way out and not met it’s obligations.
Not sorry for them at all, don’t like the club or their fans - I actually prefer Forest and that’s saying something.
Do Derby see Leicester as their main rivals? Must be a bitter pill to see how well they are doing
No, Forest definitely. I’ve not read the club statement, but, apparently, there were plenty of references to Covid in it, when the truth is that they’d been sailing really close to the wind for years before Covid was heard of. Feel sorry for the fans, but that club deserves all it’s getting and more.
No, it's Forest.
Got to be honest, I hate to see any club go under. I know it's survival of the fittest, what goes round comes round and all that, but this isn't a good thing to see, no matter which club it is.
they have some good youngsters, I guess people will come in for them soon
knight, bielik, bird and sibley
Derby are a big club and I feel sorry for their loyal fans
Much prefer them to forest , Sheffield United etc
We have been so close to sliding away like they look they are going to
Mel Morris is apparently worth £500m.
Should pay all the debts off.
It's going to be Chesterfield soon enough
Burton v Derby in League 1. Who would have thought it?
Does this mean the Jack’s might avoid relegation ?
Could be Derby v Chesterfield in League 2 in a couple of years
Or Peterborough
Bury haven’t gone into liquidation. They are currently in administration (just checked on Companies House), but I expect it’s a technicality as there’s not much left.
You are quite right and I was wrong to mention liquidation in the manner I did. The current Administration period of 12 months will shortly come to an end (the Administrator may apply for an extension if he can convince the court that there is a realistic prospect of getting an asset sale away in the near future but an extension grant is not a "given".) If the Administration fails then liquidation will follow.
The position in the Administration does not look good according to the Administrators report to creditors. No assets have bee realised apart from some credit card payments for prior services provided and most of that cash has gone in legal fees. There has been insufficient money for even paying the Administrator himself. The report suggests that there have been a number of parties expressing an interest in buying the stadium asset but only two firm offers and neither of those eventually progressed. The report also says that there is no prospect of any creditor being paid anything other than those who have a charge over the stadium and the figures suggest that even they will suffer a shortfall.
Previous arrangements with creditors (CVAs) have failed because promised payments to creditors were not made.
I guess that having the ground as an asset is preventing liquidation at this time. Whilst the administrators are actively trying to sell it there's still a bit of hope, but as a football club there is nothing else.
Derby docked twelve points, what about the other nine?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58649432
The 12 point deduction is an automatic one for going into Administration. I am told that EFL want to apply a further 9 point deduction next season for the breaches of other EFL Rules that Derby have made. If they applied them this season Derby would almost certainly get relegated but would then start next season with a clean slate and have , to a degree, got away with one set of breaches.
I know the firm (Quantuma)who the Administrators work for and they are good. Also Trevor Birch the EFL CEO is himself a highly experienced Insolvency Practitioner so both sides of future negotiations and discussions certainly know their jobs in dealing with Derby.
Certain to be another points deduction based upon FFP breaches. They will finish bottom.Two spaces to fill.......gulps.
Wonderful. The other 9 under the carpet ??
Blame Pack. If he'd done what he usually does and blasted the ball into Row Z, rather than score and keep Derby up at the end of last season, Derby would have been relegated and the Jacks would be relegated this season. Never was a goal less welcome. As it stands, Derby and Forest look nailed on for relegation this season. Unless, last match of this season, Derby need 3 points against us to finish 4th from bottom, Pack...clear through on goal (as if), shoots/misses an open goal and keeps Derby up.
