Sportscene is on at 6. Is that normal for a Wednesday? Cricket maybe?

Normal - they have it every night. Time to get excited is if its listed as an emergency talk in. By excited I mean something has happened, the calls will be the usual dull as fcuk drivel

Are 9CK Sports Holdings the same company buying the club? We could end up in essentially the same position we were with Mel before where the club and the company that own the stadium are two separate things, albeit run by the same person.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not being churlish here because the survival of the club is our main concern, but until the stadium is owned by the club once again we are never truly safe from this situation happening again.

CK9 Sports Holdings is the company Kirchner set up to own DCFC...

Meanwhile, Speckled Jim has arrived in Bristol with the latest news from the Front Line :

Heavens above he's tedious - just an empty vessel trying to appear relevant. Hopefully with the takeover nearly done and being in a different league he'll bore the fans to death of another club to and make up his own special thoughts on how they should be run. Absolute chemically pure moron, that one...

Phew!!!! Good start to Tuesday!

Wonder who it is, Mike Horton?

Can't be too many folk with the financial clout to pull it off - Horton's a shout, Clowes have links to Marketing Derby so may be involved, I guess Kirklands could be involved...

Nothing about that series of tweets is good - an impasse sounds ominous and death threats are simply unacceptable. I've never been more concerned about DCFC finding a way through this than right now. Not the news any of us wanted to hear today...

Just on Radio Derby now - Mel Morris is in dialog with buyers for the stadium as recently s the last 24 hours (despite what they reported earlier) and there are meetings tonight according to Rooney's post match interview...

Who knows what's happening - it appears to be a shifting picture, which isn't a huge surprise given the nature of this kind of deal...

You actually managed to find a gif someone who looks like a fat Chris Kirchner - hearty congratulations ?

I missed this from Wigan's fans at their trophy presentation the other day
Unsurprisingly has some NSFW language

 

If that's us next season do you think Parry would have the brass neck to turn up... it would be good to give him a special DCFC thank you

Best not to look at the BBC report and the comments on there. The vitriol about the Derby ‘cheats’ tells you all you need to know about the EFL and their successful media narrative. I don’t care what tossers from Leeds or Nottingham think. I know that our support and our players have been an absolute credit to the league this season and it will continue. With the exception of Blackpool and Hull fans the rest can sod off, swallowing the narrative without any knowledge at all. 
#they docked us 21 points

The empty vessels were always going to store it all up for the day we went down - best avoid 'social' media for the next couple of days while they wear their brain cell out typing tripe

Is that the Andy Mitchell who set up the St Johns Ambulance fundraiser when we first went into admin?

The reason he has done it this way is to make it clear that the only way for there to be a fair hearing is through the high court.

If he just agrees to indemnify the claim, the EFL and Middlesbrough will continue to push for closed shop arbitration rather than a court decision, where they can select their counsel to get the result they want. Their track record of impartiality when it comes to Derby County is pretty damning.

Mel Morris doesn't trust the EFL to play fair. I don't trust the EFL to play fair either.

I agree - I wonder if a compromise might be arbitration if the three QC panel is made up of a DCFC/MM QC, a Boro/Wycombe QC and the Sports Minister appoints a QC instead of the EFL. That would also send a clear message of a move toward independent regulation.

MM statement has confirmed the Rob Harris story

Cautious question - who is this guy?

He's a sports writer for AP News  - AP are usually fairly reputable/reliable but on a day of rubbish news I'll wait for other confirmation before getting excited

Is that really the statement - that's pretty poor. A postponed MPs meeting, a missed announcement deadline and all they come out with is a confirmation of something Nixon tweeted about on Tuesday. Underwhelmed.

Council leader and Mel Morris will be involved in Friday meetings with administrator.

Leader stressing that Morris 'does want to do the right thing by the club'.

Also said a journalist would be there - firstly, wonder who that is (probably Steve Nicolson) and secondly, one way or another there'll be some news!

Idiots recording and uploading videos of the fans singing about partying when Gibson dies onto social media. 
 

Why?

 

Why can’t they just be normal rather than idiots?
 

Why do they think it’s useful to start alienating other fans when we need as many friends as possible in the footballing world right now? 
 

That video is losing us sympathy left, right and centre at a time when we need to backing of our fellow football fans.  . 
 

We need to flush these weasels out of the club or their loved ones need to ban them from drinking before the football.

 

And if you’re going to comment to say every club has this sort of fan then don’t bother, tired of making excuses based on the fact other clubs have fans who don’t know right from wrong after a shandy too. 

Depending on where it's been uploaded you might be able to report it and get it taken down sharpish. Agree though a handful of idiots can quickly undo the good work done by thousands!

Finally some support

Learnt stuff in there I didn't know... but it's Daily Mail so I now feel grubby and need a shower ?

Ed Dawes spoke to him yesterday he said Mel says it is the EFL not making the decision on are they or not football creditors that is stalling the deal going through. 

Question I have is that if they decide the claims are football creditors isn't that game over for DCFC because no one will take the risk...

Bit like mediation, if (heaven forbid) the independent arbitrator upholds the claim, it's game over again, I think. The stakes are so high right now - it's no surprise there's a lot of posturing going on

This is all just a bit of finger pointing and posturing before they get their heads banged together by an independent mediator and a solution found. Seen it so many times before. 

EFL typically in self preservation mode, Gibson having a bit of a rant and Admin putting the ball in EFL court.

Time to end the party, get the grown ups involved and save DCFC

Nice; this goes some way towards me forgiving them for the 6-0 F.A. Cup final defeat in 1903. 

It's good that you don't hold a grudge for long ?

I’ve just listened to this.  Despite the EFL statement saying they don’t know what the claim is about in this Parry says what the claim is about.  I’m not on Twitter or anything but can someone a bit more tech savvy (and younger ?) than me send this to Team Derby as they’re meeting the EFL today and MPs?

Done

The question was "what happens if they're not football creditors". If that's the case, and if the claims get quashed out of existence when we leave admin, then it's fine.

If there's the possibility of them just opening new claims against us after we leave admin, even if we're technically a completely different company that just happens to have the DCFC name and golden share, then we may as well give up now.

This is my concern - I don't know enough re insolvency and CCCD to know whether it just leaves to door open for Boro and Wycombe to come back with another claim as soon as we're out of admin

He also said Erik Alonso was loaded. Promising, but with a pinch of salt.

they were my first thoughts too - the only reason I'm about 3% more hopeful about this is that he knows Andrew Hoskings quite well from previous dealings...

Just read from Andrew Brigden that the MP's who met with EFL on Monday are meeting with Quantuma today
