England Ram

Wow. Speechless. 
Over to you EFL, Boro and Wycombe. Let us go and challenge this in the high court personally against Mel. 
If you don’t accept, why not?

Before I sign off the night and listen to the missus woes from work, just going to say this, don’t be angry at the EFL’s statement tonight, it’s a positive one for us and it clearly states their position which allows us to move forward with a high court judgment.
Whilst we might disagree on the side they fell into, it wasn’t totally unexpected and we’ve been desperate for them to come down off the fence for a while now, this is better than to continue stalling. 
Quantuma have what they need now, the EFL’s position and proof of funds to see us through the next couple of months, time for court. 

A really good comment from the BBC piece that @angieram posted above.
 
But as much as the march was an attack on those they feel have done their club down, this was really about the support of a football club. Thousands marched in support of their club. From the brow of the hill that goes over the railway line the snake of humanity stretched as far as the eye could see, forwards and back. There was no demographic. Male and female, old and young, middle-aged parents and stylish supporters in their early 20s. 
Generations of fans made their point peacefully. All walking behind a banner proclaiming: "Founder Member of the Football League. 138 Years of Football Heritage. Save Derby County."

Even though he was a bit off the pace the difference he made to the midfield and the rest of our play was immediate. 

Fingers crossed for him. 
Brilliant to have him back, even for 30 mins. 

Heather Wheeler is our local MP for South Derbyshire and if she does anything of note I'll be surprised. In all her time in parliament I don't think she's made a wave of note anywhere.
 
Lets see....
Margaret Becket is a good one to have on side though. If she gets hold of this it could be exactly what we need.
And this is coming from a non Labour voter.
 

Hoping I can speak for the majority of fans when I say the following:
Whoever in their right mind is willing to even consider buying a football club in a poor state, never mind the state that Melvyn Morris left us in, earns my respect completely.
Whether it be the Binnie family, whether it be Appleby and co. Whether it will be Mike Ashley, or whoever else, Thank you.
Thank you for wanting to turn this football club around, get us out the pooper, and allowing us to continue to be a football club.
Whoever takes over, I hope they understand that they will be supported by one of the greatest fanbases in England (And yes, that may be biased, although the support we have shown for this club, throughout the poo that we’ve been through, is genuinely surreal).
I hope that whoever it is who buys us, understands how much this football club means to it’s staff, it’s fans, and it’s local community, and I hope that whatever may happen, that we will have our Derby County to enjoy, to allow us to take our minds out of reality, to allow us that safe space away from demons one may face in the real world, to allow us to be able to rally together, have a bloody good laugh and a good time, and to ultimately support this fantastic, amazing, bloody stressful club.
Come On You Rams. Let’s make ourselves known these next two games, let’s show the world what Derby COUNTY is all about, and what an honour it would be for anyone to own a football club with such appreciative and passionate supporters.
 
????

Usually in US if you can run for republican senator you are loaded unless one of our US resident fans can correct me. Just because you havent heard of them doesnt mean they're not rich.
 
Not aimed at you at all just generally but looking at this thread tonight cant get over how picky some suddenly are. It may not work out but we have an actual bidder. an actual formal bidder. Can we not just enjoy that thought tonight and analyse the amounts that will cover, why some with no knowledge seem to have taken against them already etc etc another time. I really thought the claims were going to see everyone off.  We have a bidder. Imagine the mood in Parry Towers, Gibson's grotto and other one's tacky mansion ????

The full asking price is £28 million for the club?
The £20 million for the ground is a separate issue but is being thrown in to the mix to clear the MSD liability although it’s guaranteed on the stadium? 
 
So, pay the £28 million if that clears us starting at 0 points and no deduction next year.
Sod owning the stadium right now. Let Morris keep it and pay him a small rent for now. 
look to take it on later once things are settled. 
 
Do I like giving MFC & WW a single penny, absolutely not. I’d rather we say we will take on that risk and take them to court! 
 
Never heard of these people though. Don’t sound like they have lots of money to throw around so will be the expected long road back to relevance in the promotion race. 

Your post is a shameless attempt to boost the count.
And so's this one.

There not though . Give Morris 20 million he pays his loan and the buyer gets a stadium .  No brainer
Owe HMRC 28 million.  Pay 12 up front, cover another 10 over 3 years in full settlement . No problem.
Have a wage bill that covers itself and  30 million coming in or even 17-20 on relegation .  Great.
HAVE TWO twits YOU MAY OR MAY NOT OWE 52 MILLION ON TOP

 
 

Breaking your own rules of this thread already. Just like the EFL ?

I think our local MPs really stepped up to the plate this afternoon on our behalf.
All those on here calling them out on their comments after the meeting with the EFL yesterday should apologise. They were just fact gathering, and their backroom staff had them very well briefed inside twenty-four hours.
There was no politics, just local pride. I  applaud them all. 

I managed to catch the whole thing. It felt like an incredibly powerful moment, and very moving at times to hear everyone talk so passionately about our football club's future.
All the right points were hit, unanimously sympathetic to our situation and critical of our opponents.
 
A huge thanks must go out to Pauline Latham for getting us on the agenda, and to all the supporting local MPs for helping drive the issue.

Just to echo what some others have said, urgent questions aren't always granted. Far from it. Credit to the Speaker for selecting it. 

Lindsay Hoyle is a Bolton fan, so I'm sure he understands the seriousness of the situation, especially given what has happened to his club in the last decade.

Always knew we were massive.
We've got Covid and Immigration warming the crowd up for us.

Currently talking with various members and fan groups privately to compile key points that can be pinned on the forum to be shared with the media and MP's.  

He speaks so well. I wish him well for the rest of the season and would love him around the club in the future in any capacity to help the younger lads or the first team. Characters like that are priceless.
