Well hopefully Stretford, Rooney and Morgan have just wrapped up the final details over a cappuccino and are off to dictate terms to the EFL. 

Wouldn't that be nice!

I am still on page 2020, and have to go do some work, but a deal (actual sale) does not need to be concluded by 23 June (fixture list). As long as Q can present a suitable business plan to the EFL, and a generous benefactor (say a Clowes or Gadsby type figure) is prepared to guarantee funding the club in the short to medium term by way of gift/loan, and creditors are no worse off, the EFL are not going to say no. It is in their rules that we can continue to be in the League at the start of the season notwithstanding being in Admin for some 9 months.  Chill everyone; there are a lot of interested parties out there.  All I would say is that at some point in the season to come though, perhaps before we kick-off in the first game, it is highly likely that we will have a 15 point penalty to contend with.

All of which is why I think it will get done before the fixture list pinch point. 

I would have thought we need to able to show the EFL that we have finance for the season ahead  in order for us to be included in the fixture list for next season. I cant see where this is coming from until the club is sold. In my opinion this has to come to a conclusion, one way or another, before next Wednesday 22nd absolute latest.

Should Rooney stay I can see Nicky Butt coming in. I thought when he left Manure this would be his destination. It is a big IF though that Rooney will stay.

Hope not. Don't think he's all that he's cracked up to be. 

Did we find out why other clubs are angry?

I’ve got Nixons Patreon. He’s going Stoke to stay in the championship.

Ok thanks.

Has that been confirmed?

How could you not be concerned about where his money is from when cryptocurrency (at some time in the past) is involved? Then you hear that he's tried to avoid anti-money laundering checks? Don't tell me I'm putting a negative slant on that. It speaks for itself. 

The bit about circumnavigating anti-money laundering was in an effort to get fund in more quickly was my understanding not because he had something to hide.

I see the league 1 fixture list is due to be released at 9.00am two weeks today. EFL will be getting twitchy. 

Nixons radio interview told us all we need to know. Kirchner has the dosh has tried to pay it over. Now waiting for anti money laundering checks to clear. 

Times scale making us all twitchy. Just have to sit tight today I think. 

We now urgently need an honest, open communication from the administrators.......... I won't hold my breath though.

Wondering what I’m going to do on winter Saturdays just in case. Not thought of a viable alternative to being a Derby fan yet. 

I was only joking Ewe Ram. Sorry if I offended.

He may well exchanged contracts but the ownership of the ground is out of his hands,can't see what other hold up there could be if he is that far down the line owning the club.

No sane business man would exchange contracts without somewhere to play.

Motivational speaker maybe? 

Kirchner said he had exchanged contracts. If that is so then very few deals fail to complete due to the legal loss of deposit money. 

Looking at the transfer thread Aden Flint could be the first potential casualty due to the sale not getting over the line when it should.

To be fair, that's only really his business and I suspect the creditors lower down the pecking order will still have to wait for their money whilst it all gets sorted.

Yes, even after the sale of the business patent to unsecured could take a long time.

We’ve been through enough trauma. I have no idea what to expect from CK and neither does anyone else. He’s a complete unknown to football. The game itself is not in his blood. He wasn’t brought up following football, not our kind anyway.

So we have a completely untried, unknown and untested person on the brink of owning our club. This is the first time this has happened to us. So forgive me if I and few other don’t share your clear view that all will be well.
 

To paraphrase Dylan Thomas.
Do not go happy clapping into that goodnight, Wolfie.

I thought he said he was brought up with football (Soccer). 

I expect the club to be run in a sustainable way. The income we should generate will provide enough income in league 1 without the owner having to plough in millions. 

We need Rooney to bring in players on frees with reasonable wages. Welcome to the new Derby County. 

Not sure if I like all these puns...............let me mullet over for a bit though.

My grandad was a Top footballer in 1960’s 

he hardly made a bean from it even winning the old 1st division. 
he made money from owning a sports shop and pubs. 

What was/is his name if you don't mind me asking? If not fair enough.

Let me get this right.  Notts Florist have had their best season this millennium and first trip to the new Wembley (well, I say new it is 15 years old!!) yet some fans are scouring glass door to find the occasional bad review about CK.  Is it just me or is that odd behaviour?

Indeed, but in fairness quite a few are quite odd themselves.

If it was an organisational problem how come the Madrid fans seem to have had no trouble?

Honestly don’t understand anyone who uses the block function on a football forum. If you’re not prepared to hear other alternative voices, when ether you agree or disagree or like or don’t like the way you express your opinion, then for me it tells me all I need to know about a person. 
 

I may not like an opinion or I may not like how it’s expressed and I may even say so…..but I’d still prefer to hear it and have the chance to disagree with it!! It’s what you’re here for surely?

I think for me Rava the block only becomes useful when an individual gets negatively repetitive to a nauseous extent.

Love name spelling things and how we try to answer the question before it’s asked

I had a client called O’nions … “onions with an apostrophe” and a guy called feneley “3 e’s and 1 of everything else” 

Used to know a guy who said his name was Jim De'ath. I'm sure it was just Jim Death really.
