    I’d say it’s clear he wasn’t a proper Derby fan all along. What Derby fan would do what he did? A fraud.
    He tried to speak a good game, but he’s similar to David Brent reeling off facts about Tchaikovsky in The Office. It was all for show.

    CK was definitely a credible bidder, the admin team were blowing smoke up his arse when he first entered the race, he knew his onions!
    We need some answers about what is going to happen. It’s very worrying. We need the local journalists to step up. If BWAT can speak to Appleby, why can’t local journalists dig a little deeper to find more details? I find it amazing that all they have done is a pathetic interview with Morris that basically let him off the hook. Very poor from them. Graham Richards hounded Maxwell in the early 90s. Nowt is happening now. Odd. Granted it may not help too much, but at least we may have a little more info to go on.
    As others have said, I presume the admin team are comfortable with the other 2 offers otherwise they wouldn’t let CK walk away. I just have a lack of trust for anyone in charge these days after Morris web of lies.

    I feel increasingly uncomfortable with this whole process of administration because it feels like  the usual players are still trying to manipulate events to their advantage. 
    We all think Mel Morris has walked away, leaving us in this mess, but I think he is still involved behind the scenes and trying to get the outcome he wants. Whether that is an outcome that is best for Mel Morris or best for Derby County FC remains to be seen. They could be the same thing.
    But, we have administrators appointed by him, two previous owners, the most recent CEO all very active and involved in this ongoing process.
    Kirchner offered something different,  a fresh start without the decades of club politics. Whether he could have delivered on it, I don't know.
    But I know I am weary of the same faces who have not been good for our club in the past, still hovering around the honeypot. I worry that Appleby has been talked about for over two years but has still failed to produce a bid that could have prevented administration in the first place or made an early exit a possibility; that Gadsby is a safe pair of hands who really doesn't have the financial clout or the ambition to rebuild the club; that the administrators are busy being administrators rather than actually working for a better solution.
    Meanwhile we as fans have more uncertainty and no say in proceedings. We have to fight to change that in future or this won't be the last time we find ourselves in this situation.

    I don’t think there is any chance that we’ll go into liquidation… but then I:
    * Never thought we would have broken FFP rules;
    * Never thought we’d go into Administration;
    * Never thought we’d have 21 points taken off us;
    * Never thought Mel was a wrong ‘un having defended him from pillar to post;
    * Never thought we’d need to sell the ground;
    * Always thought the powers that he knew why they were doing and believed what they were telling us…
    So, perhaps I’m not the best judge!

    Does Morris even own the stadium still?? God knows. If Morris is still pulling some strings then we’re buggered.

    Ah well that lasted long. We praised the administrators for their open communication at the start of the process, but now it seems their just like Morris - full of bull. WHY make a statement that a deadline would be met before Christmas and not meet it. They only made that statement about a week ago. Shocking. Just shut up rather than make false statements that can’t be stuck to. More false hope.
    CK is unorthodox in his communication. I don’t quite get the stick he’s getting for being honest though. I’m glad he’s called Morris out for what he is. We’ll be lucky to survive that disgrace of a chairman’s acts. We’ve all been here before so it shouldn’t shock us, but it would be nice to have some positive ( not fake) news to hang onto. I think we deserve it. The news doesn’t sound great and if CK pulls out then the day just gets bleaker.

    I for one am amazed that another 'deadline' has been missed.
    Just like every other deadline for anything this utter farce of a football club has set, or been set over the last two years.
    Honestly, its beyond a joke at this point. Mel sank the club through his own incompetence and it appears everyone still involved in the process is equally as useless.

    Early Doors is a very underrated comedy. Brilliant, set in a pub in the early 2000’s. Only 2 series made but the characters are great.
    On a different scale, The Inbetweeners is class. A modern classic!

    I don’t think it’s fair to say Lampard’s signings were a failure. The likes of Marriott, Waghorn, Holmes and Malone all had decent seasons under Lampard. They were poor after he left. You sign players to suit your system and style. The problem was not getting a manger in with a similar philosophy after Lampard. That was Morris main mistake. Every time we lost a manager we appointed someone with a completely different style meaning the existing players didn’t fit in that style,  causing us to spend spend spend again.

    Next year is going to be very tough. We will not be in a healthy situation when we go down. It’s going to be very hard to bounce back. First things first is to ensure we’re in League 1.

    I’m not concerned with the Boro or Wycombe lawsuits at all, they haven’t got a chance of being successful. It’s a ballache as it’s delaying the sale. HMRC is the biggie.
    Hope Wycombe stay down. All being well we’ll smash them next season.
