No, it was certainly rumoured at the time. But then again Mel and Pearce also said that we were well inside FFP.

to attempt an answer to the question.
 
Showing an intent to enter admin gives protection from creditors for 2 weeks or so.  During that time it is in the best interest of a buyer to try and get a deal done because it is the only thing that can be done to avoid a 12 point penalty.  You've still got all the P&S to face but they have been prompted to move quickly rather than wait for what they may perceive as the best time

No no no  - I wouldnt want to see ramstrust anywhere near the running of the club.  My opinion of them is they think they are some kind of 'elite' supporters, I believe that they genuinely think they are more intelligent than the ordinary supporter and know better than ordinary supporters.
Trust ?,,,,,,,,,,,, I wouldn't trust any of them.  George Orwells Animal Farm springs to mind !!!

Question is whether MSD, the club and a potential purchaser would be able to persuade a court to extend the two week ‘notice of intention’ period. It may be possible to extend if a takeover is imminent. 
 
If the party who walked away last week was at an advanced stage of due diligence, they might be able to move quite quickly 

he is gambling that admin will force buyers to make a real bid rather than hang on to see how things go.  Mel is not a good gambler

Imo our amortisation policy was due solely to kicking the can down the road in the hope we could get promoted and avoid penalties

No new owner would welcome -12 plus an embargo

I think some people literally think someone will buy us in the next few weeks and pay all the debts off, whilst financing a rebuild for League 1 in the summer
Not going to happen. 

He owes cash for the purchase, the funds he has put in since then could be itemised as loan repayments, why is that incorrect?

You think our model reflected reality?  Really you do?

i loved what he said about amortisation, did the work and established that most players do not lose their value in a straightline basis.  We bought senior players and our experience under his tenure is their value depreciated in a vertical straight line.  Businesses should use amortisation based on their corporate knowledge and experience.  What we chose was something that would crucify us in the last year of contracts because to do it any other way would have breached P&S

P&S comes from the annual summary provided to EFL, we don't get to see it.  Even when you eventually see the accounts it can be difficult to analyse because it may straddle a number of different companies.

If Derby ever managed to buy a player for less than they were worth the EFL would DEFINITELY investigate, because who would believe it possible?

in covid he bought the stadium and may have used the debt to counter the funding.  We don't know because the accounts have been ate by his dog

I fear there is nothing in the rules for this and the EFL will be forced to enforce the penalty.  If admin does not protect us form EFL rules I don't think they will have a choice

I'm not gettng this narrative set by a few on here that those daring to criticise Mel now were the same ones demanding signings and overspending. 
Massive, sweeping generalisation that comes across as a weak excuse for Mel's actions. 

are you Charlotteram?
are you blaming the fans?

But I can see it clearly and not a bit of rage in me.  I have held this view for a long time and received many insults because of it.  I have no idea why you wish to suggest anything other but you are well off beam.
