Thread: Derby County

  1. #1

    Derby County

    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.

    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.

    Not looking good for them - by the sound of this, the Administrator's are a big part of the problem;-

    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

    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.

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

    Re: Derby County

    What assets does the club have to sell off in the event of liquidation? Not the stadium. Five players and a tea trolley? Looks like the administrators are hanging on for a takeover so they get paid, handsomely, for their services. Fixtures are out week a week on Thursday and, at the moment, DCFC cannot fulfill those fixtures. They could be Luton'd at this rate.

    So true bloody gutles hypocrisy filled football establishment.

    Re: Derby County

    EFL want to get involved in negotiations regarding Rams' takeover. Kirchner reckons he still wants to buy and the money is in a European bank account awaiting anti-laundering go ahead. Ashley feels ignored by the administrators. Others have the cash to buy with funds maybe available to save Derby from liquidation and get a team together (but with no stadium??). The administrators should be held to account. Clearly aren't doing a decent job.

    Re: Derby County


    interesting from that link

    Concerns over Derby's future have mounted since Chris Kirchner failed to transfer the necessary cash before Friday's 5pm deadline


    So they are still giving them deadlines then
