Ashley would go public and create a huge row.

Am I being thick or doesn’t Morris lose out big time if we’re liquidated?

I’ll say it again, remember when Mel promised the stadium “would not hold up any takeover”… the man’s a scumbag, absolute scumbag

Why would he fund the club? If he sees his possible ownership as an increasingly unlikely scenario (he used the word 'impasse'), he's not going to throw money at it.

Death threats are absolutely unacceptable, but are we legally allowed to promise Mel Morris a hard slap around the face if we ever see him?

So…am I right in thinking we are still back to the original problem that Mel wants a higher fee for the stadium than anyone is willing to pay so personally doesn’t have to pay off the MSD loan?
We’re back to everything on social media being confusing and no one talking in simple terms, so I’m only trying to get an idea of the state of play…

So then - what now ? Apart from sending Stuart Webb into the toilets with the relevant parties 

That's that then. ?

My guess, is that they just don't want the on-going uncertainty with the MSD loan. If Morris (for whatever reason) stops paying the repayments, it gets repossessed by MSD, and we have no idea what they will do in terms of rent or willingness to sell back to us in the future.  Plus there's all the mess with the loan being cross-secured against the training ground etc, and apparently other properties that Morris owns. It's better for everybody if the loan is cleared, and the stadium is back in the hands of someone relatively stable (i.e. the club itself, or the council).

Does anyone know why CK can’t or won’t lease the stadium from MM?  You can only assume MM is asking for a lease cost way above market rates…….. perhaps the positioning on leasing other stadiums is “tactical” and they have done the benchmarking of costs to support negotiations.  Maybe MM put the lease rates so high to force the stadium purchase……. hence why the council are involved as they would give reasonable lease rates.
 
If this reflects reality then I remain hopeful that there will be a positive outcome from this mornings meeting. ??

Don't you think it's very presumptuous to be telling people they should move on?
Folks will move on when they're ready, Morris doing the right thing with the ground will be one of those key milestones in that journey. 

Yes why are people still sticking up for him? 

Mel End Morris

20 was the figure I think 
It’s not about the stadium though, it’s about who pays off MSD. Why is everyone on about the stadium ? 

The club with the ground is currntly worth 35M tops, Mel is expecting 25m on top of that for the ground....
The deal.is dead, quicker we realise this the better

Perhaps his dog could do it

As he's had dealings in some kind or another with DCFC, A word in his ear for 10% or readies in a brown envelope, He's ya man.
 
 

Hello! Have you met Derby City Council ? ?

And have MSD agreed to rent the stadium to us for a decent price, and sell it back to us/DCC whenever we want, and for a decent price? Odds are, it's going to bump the rent up in the mean time and bump up the cost when we come to buy it, if they are willing to sell it at all.  And are MSD just going to ignore the other things that the loan is secured against (training ground etc)?

More chance of me winning the lottery than any sane police force allowing thousands of Derby fans to trawl into Nottingham every other week plus night games.

Dissolved clubs don’t exist anymore ! I doubt it would happen but stranger things could happen. Probably end up applying to conference. There are 23 teams there, space for an extra one? 

They’ve got their votes now, don’t expect to hear much from them

I'm confident it will now be Ashley...
