    Not for CK anyway.
    It looks like a twitter rant of somebody who knows he's losing the race to me.

    People will automatically take Kirchner’s side here, but this seems (with a little help from another one of them supporter group guys ?) that something isn’t quite right with his bid or that something isn’t plausible within it. Let’s face it, it’s a bit ‘it’s not me, it’s them’ to try and pull a bit of favour
    It would make sense if the admins are giving time for Appleby/Gadsby to get their bid sorted as they would be the more ideal front runner with a more long term plan of getting the club better run financially.

    If this game is off I wonder if single match tickets will be refunded. I can imagine quite a few fans visiting family over Christmas will have purchased tickets for this game and wouldn’t be able to attend the rearranged match.

    In 7 games through March into April of the 2018/19 season Middlesborough lost 6 games in a row and drew one.
    If they want to sue anyone they should sue themselves for picking up just 1 point out of a possible 21 during this period and they fell short of sixth place by one point plus our goal difference was better.
    Apart from that are they saying that if they had reached the play-offs they would definately have won the semi and the final.
    Can anyone really take their claims seriously???

    I'd be surprised if this happens before the new year for England tbh. I'd also say it's premature given we don't yet know the data on likely hospitalisations only infection rates.

    Consensual agreement with Boro and Wycombe? Why don't we tell the chancer bar stewards to do one? Paying them a single penny for their absurd claims would be a travesty and an embarrassment.

    I'm not venting my spleen at the administrators as they are only at the football club at all because of one person but so far they've been really poor at managing expectations.
    Cynically too the longer it drags on the greater their whack.

    Without question the best manager of my Rams supporting lifetime. Made me so proud to be a Derby County fan, especially after the chaos of the early 80’s. Happy birthday to a genuine DCFC legend.

    We've now had well over a year of the 'potential new owner' merry-go-round. Anyone remember the Pearce interview from this time last year saying that it will all be done by Christmas? So tired of all this...

    We remember how your fans supported us through our darkest hours.
    We now have our club back and we are on our way back, but your fans were brilliant at Bloomfield Road singing all the Oyston out songs with us. We had a mini riot during that game, a night match and later that season, we started boycotting games home and away. 
    Word is, our fans are 100% behind you during this hopefully short term blip in your great clubs situation. 
    Good luck from the Seasiders!

    Absolute drivel.  Like genuinely, unmitigated drivel. 
    Of all the mistakes that were made during his tenure, I think the "big signings" were the worst. The overspending itself, the manager merry-go-round, the war with the EFL, the accounting nonsense etc were all bad. But the strategy that lead to us signing the likes of Johnson, Butterfield, Blackman, Anya, Vydra, Waghorn, Malone etc is unforgiveable.  And I'm not specifically targeting those players, I'm targeting the overall strategy of signing relatively old, expensive players at the peak of their value.  And seemingly with no thought where they would fit into the team.  That strategy ultimately came from Morris, whether it was his own invention, a choice of the people he chose to surround himself with, or just happened because he didn't have the capacity, knowledge or correct advice to say "no" to it.
