    Nowt like Derby fans to wait 2 years for someone to save the club and decide they don’t want him cause they feel hurt that he ‘snubbed us’ but came back in.

    I’m feeling positive for a number of reasons:
    1. We didn’t have a PB now we have so we have the prospect of potential closure.
    2. CK seems to have good ideas about developing the football club and improving the match day experience. (And according to Q - he knows his onions) 
    3. The administrators (unless they lied or were negligent) ran a diligent process on proof of funds before bids could even be made to remove time wasters. So the money shouldn’t be an issue. 
    4. He’s aligned with Rooney in his vision for the club 
    5. If it all goes tits up, he walks or he doesn’t have the cash - Mike Ashley is waiting in the background.
    Its too early to say if this will all go through, but we are making progress when we were stuck in the mud. Got to give the process a chance. I think people are getting too hung up on the net worth thing. If he’s proved £100m to Q we don’t have a problem. I think he walked from Preston because he didn’t like the deal, he walked from us first time because he didn’t like the deal (he was open that Boro was an issue), he’s a successful businessman you don’t do that without being astute, he’s not just going to cave and pay what people want. That’s precisely what Mel did with his whackamole transfer strategy and look where that got us.

    I’m not the one questioning the situation I’ll leave that to all the others as they seem to know best .
    I haven’t 100 percent confidence in anything DCFC at the moment how could I but it’s about practicalities in our situation and CK is the preferred bidder and whilst ever he is trying to buy us I’ll back him as there is no other suitors who showed they wanted the club enough re Appleby or Ashley.

    Beckham is a Co owner at Inter Miami now, but I don’t think there’s any players worth having, they’re bottom of the league.

    Not sure what the obsession of net worth is. Mel was supposedly worth half a billion yet couldn't pay a large tax bill. Delia and husband at Norwich worth less than £10 million yet runs the club seemingly very well. 
    It's his principles and plans for the club I'm more interested in than what's in his bank account

    What evidence do you want?
    Has he got to show you his bank accounts, or maybe deposit some bonds in an account where we can all rummage through them?

    I'll put it this way, no one sane wanted to buy us before administration.
    After administration, what you're buying isn't better, but possibly cheaper.
    cK, Ashley, Appleby, Binnies all were intersted as a low ball bargain club, which has been difficult as the debts are so high.
    I think cK actually wants to buy us. Appleby and the binnies had clearly fixed ideas about what we were worth buying at, and it's that or not.
    Ashley, disaster capitalist that he is, i don't think really wants to buy us, i think he just got a tingling for screwing over creditors which is really what gets him off. Ashley undoubtedly has the money to make a success of DCFC but he'd only put his money up after everything has fallen apart and it's basically whater he offers or immediate liquidation, which may well be less the cK is offering, even if Ashley is putting about that he'd give more than cK at the moment, because at the moment, Ashley isn't putting his offer down. Mike Ashley is skilled and ruthless in dealing with aquiring insolvent business - it'd be painfull in the extream before anything got better for us as fans, and i'd dread to think if I were an employee as MA took over.
    So I'm guardedly hopefull about cK, resigned to starting on -15 next season and relegation this season. But we will go on. There's going to be some hard grind ahead, but we'll get through it.

    Tyler, you have been asking for weeks now why anyone would buy Derby, it's a question that makes little sense given the state of football in general.
    It's madness, it is and there is no rational explanation why anyone would currently want to own a football club outside of the Premier League.
    However, I'm just happy to have someone that's willing to sign up to losing money by the millions each year to satisfy my entertainment.
    I have no doubts, we will drain his wallet and move on to the next rich person after a few years as the cycle continues until the government get a grip of the game.
    I suspect, location, fanbase, history (no disrespect to Preston) and most importantly opportunity to create more revenue streams at a larger club would have seen him change his mind.
    Rooney is a big name over in the states, a sponsorship lure by himself. That does create a somewhat untouchable manager that is always the danger, but so far it's not something we have to worry about.
