Sheff Ram

Morning fellow Rams fans. 
The sun is shining. Let's hope the day lives up to the weather 
Apparently the EFL are "extremely disappointed". Probably not half as disappointed as we are, having seen our beloved club ravaged, past from pillar to post and mocked. 
Let's hope today is the day everything changes for the best of our wonderful club.

In the 1799 pages of this thread's existence, this has been possibly the stressiest day of all. 
Kicked of by Radio Derby's " inside man "  exposing " CK as a potential Walter Mitty tyre-kicker.
Cue confusion. CK " doorstopped " by a Sky reporter and looking " shady "
Mike Ashley potentially resurfacing as our potential saviour.
Then, at the 11th hour CK potentially not being so bad after all.
This is the reality of the internet world where everybody is able to self-publish.  Me included.
It's like watching a self-publishing ping-pong match.
Nobody knows anything. People post anything masquerading as news  - and the masses comment on it as fact.
Press releases are sooo yesterday. Let's just treat rumour as fact.
No wonder we're all so stressed. Rumour ISN'T news.
People claiming " to know "
Can I be the first to declare I know zip all?
We're all feeding each other on rumour and supposition.
In the absence of news there is...
... the internet.

It's been a very quiet day.
Chris Kirchner's bid might, or might not have collapsed. That might or might not be the fault of the fans. His funds have either cleared or they haven't. He might be in Barhain or London.
Mike Ashley might or might not be about to swoop in with a bid which might or might not be for £28m and might or might not include the stadium. It might or might not be enough to avoid a points deduction.
The stadium itself might or might  not be owned by Mel Morris, or it cloud be Clowes or even a Clown.
Rooney might or might not have funded last months wages. We might or might not be about to sell some season tickets. 
The EFL might or might not allow us to start next season still in adminstration. 
And it's mainly Mel Morris's fault.

Hi. I'm Graham by the way...

Hi. I'm Graham by the way...
 

I’ve always wanted CK I’ve got some pants with his initials on.

The silence from The EFL, Quantuma and CK is deafening...
 

Ha ha. Great minds etc. As a fellow The The fan, I thought about posting a link to this classic, but you beat me to it!

Very true, but "proof of funds" checks are pointless is they don't shed some light on validity/nature of the funds, beyond a number showing up on a bank statement. Otherwise it's a box tick exercise.
So for me, the burning question is:
(a) is the money there but there are issues transfering it? [hopefully with a bit more time, things gets sorted]
(b) the money is there but there are concerns about its ethicacy [may cause more siginificant delays and may lead toQ pulling the deal]
(c) the money isn't there [deal collapses and the circus carousel goes around yet again]
