It's what the administrators said would be the required non- refundable deposit upon being named preferred bidder way back when the world was young and dark fruits ram was on ribena....

#COYR ?

I believe Aarhus is in the middle of Aarstreet.

You spelled Louie Sibley wrong

Needs some appreciation. That is all.

Those minutes make pretty depressing reading imo. 
Looks like we'll struggle to re-sign players or bring in free agents.
And EFL still trying to say the Middlesbrough claim isn't over until they hear about it or that it isn't what was holding up progress.
Given how snarky the tone of their answers are, I'd say there is little chance of them meeting us halfway on anything.

Just sent this to Rick Parry. I'm still yet to receive a reply to my previous email, just needed to vent my frustration. This isn't acceptable, you can't run football like this.
 

We all knew this was coming, but still feels like a kick in the guts.
The cynic in me wonders if Reading will now be conveniently allowed by the EFL to appeal at least some of their points deduction, given what Reading said at the time:
The breach of regulations was calculated across a period of four years, two of which were unavoidably yet significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Without wishing to cast too much validity over what Barry says here - I walked the dog on Darley Park at lunchtime today and Andre Wisdom jogged past me.
Make of that what you will. I assume he hadn't jogged all the way from Birmingham

Why bother having an administration thread if we're just going to post rubbish in it? Change the name to "pub thread" or "old people reminisce about the olden days" if you want and be done with it. If there is nothing new to post about administration or nothing relevant to be posted then we don't need to post anything in this thread. If people want to talk about other things there are plenty of other threads to get lost in or shock horror they can start their own thread to discuss it.
 

Can we try and keep this on topic. I’m sure we all know how it feels when you look and there are 5+ pages. Straight away you think there’s been a development. A historical walkthrough of Derby city centre isn’t what this topic is for. 
 
Thank you please. 

May I take this opportunity to point you in the direction of the Jim Smith forum, where you can discuss bygone Derby to your hearts' content! 
Just have a thought for people coming in from busy days at work having to wade through all this.

No but we seriously are looking at signing Diego Costa . DET today 

Coles good
Dawes faeces
Overall ok

He’s a very young lad and needs backing 

get thompson off the pitch right now. hes shocking

As much as I love beer in all its glory, isn’t there somewhere else where you can discuss it, and leave this thread for the endless Takeover speculation?

Very good news.
The sad part is that, assuming Mel is giving him some money, it means Gibson’s grubby opportunism has worked. It also gives his spurious claims an air of credibility that they just don’t have.
Oddly, I’ve always thought that Wycombe’s claims have a bit more credibility than Boro’s, but only insofar as there is a clear cause and effect on the timing of our points deduction - rather than some vague argument about cheats prospering. Nevertheless, any claim Wycombe has should be directed to the EFL and the EFL alone. We all know we complied with the EFL’s deadlines and thus we should be completely scott-free. However, Ballbag (or whatever his name is) knows that he wouldn’t stand a chance taking the EFL to court, the EFL are too chicken to accept the challenge and do everything they can to direct fire onto clubs and we are left in limbo. 
Anyway, hopefully this is not another false dawn and is the beginning of the end.  COYR.

Why doesn't that surprise me ?

How about Claims, Wycombe and Rob Couhig?

Get him Dave!!!!! @David
 

Simon Jordan putting the cat amongst the pigeons on TalkSport just now. Presumably with absolutely no evidence whatsoever, he is suggesting Mel is working behind the scenes to perhaps get the club back himself! ??
Just what we need. More baseless speculation. Sigh.
He’s also defending his mate Gibson too, which is annoying.
He does think we’ll come out of admin soon though, so while I think he completely full of poo, I’ll cling onto this point all the same ?
