You make out that the logic in your argument is so overpowering that anyone would be stupid in doing so.
Yet Ashley, who's a billionaire businessperson, having considered the position carefully obviously doesn't think so ?‍♀️
So doesn't that give you the answer even though it's not the one you're willing to accept?

Lets all hope ashley can get this wrapped in next few days unless someone is in there that can blow him out of the water.

suspect efl more likely to set deadline than Q.

and an efl expulsion deadline would concentrate minds, and bids...

Business people buy brands. History and affection is what makes a brand. Why put 1884 on everything if it didn't matter?   I wasn't alive when Clough won the league for this team; when we were in European Cup.  
We support the same team.  I live 80 miles from Derby, and have an array of choice in who I support.  It would be far more convenient for me to support a much more successful team that is much more convenient to me.  I don't.
We are sticky supporters of a never to be remade brand.  That is value.

Not quite. The club has good intangible assets.  It has very poor tangible assets.  
Out intangible assets die on liquidation, which is pretty unique in business - it is the reason you would otherwise FORCE liquidation.  The football league have in a way helped us out by saying we wouldn't get Lg2 if liquidated.

Rooney has shown terrific loyalty to the club and fans. He has also installed this attitude to the players. However, losing him wouldn't need to be the end of the world. Because of our circumstances, he hasn't been able to show us that he is capable of signing players and building a team. There will be other potential Derby managers out there, experienced and inexperienced, capable of turning the club round, as did Arthur Cox in the eighties.
Rooney staying and rebuilding the club, as did Cox, would be our dream. But, him staying on wouldn't guarantee anything.

Yes, but vultures clear the road.  We need a clear road, and not a carcass blocking it.
