So is the silence productive, stubborn who blinks first or just ominous do you think? 

No news is good news.

To be honest I wouldn’t mind a groundshare agreement as it would screw Mel over. Then the council could not sanction any events there and cause the value to go down.

He can then lose the ground to MSD who will be more than welcome to sell it back to the club at a discount to get their money back.

I left the UK a while ago so I'll just say some general ones - 

Don't be loyal to one brand or company. If someone offers better deal, jump ship.

• As soon as your contract ends with someone or insurance comes due, shop around.
• Pay yourself first. That's 20% into savings & investments each pay cheque.
• Make sure you have a good emergency fund, 3-6 months expenses.
• Use Quidco or Topcashback. I actually had BT giving me money to have their broadband once, I then got even more by cancelling their contract early as they raised prices too much and I could get out for free.

Dyche is Mr Burnley and actually made

them likeable.

Now they’re just a horrible nothing club in the NW.

The bloke is answering a bunch of stuff on twitter right now. Making the right noises tbh

Alan Nixon in ‘writing articles after dodgy rumours on football forums and Twitter’ shocker!

I don’t get this reaction to Nixon. It’s obvious the bloke knows stuff.

What would happen if Mel were to pass away suddenly? Does the stadium pass to his next of kin or to MSD?

MSD if the debt isn’t paid

I don't agree with this General Ram. If the club is sold the ground has a value, quite a high one. Also the DCFC brand and potential are worth quite a bit. I don't think £40m is far off. 

Plenty of other clubs our size and potential for the same amount.

The ground is worth something you’re right but we don’t own it, Mel does.

All that the club owns is a few players, the name and it’s spot in the football league pyramid.

The point is this is our club I tell what protests does put mel and admin under pressure to get this done but If we could raise the funds then we can get ground of mel and then it belongs to city of derby and derby county can remain just that.

You’ll be better buying a Burton shirt and going to watch them instead.

There is literally nothing for the buyers to buy other than the ground and place in league 1 with -15 points.

Depending on what the EFL allows the new owner to buy that could be league 2 a year later. 

There are hardly any squat assets to buy.

Does that sound like a £50million club to you for someone with no emotional attachment to DCFC?

No. Get used to the fact we are going under.

I don’t know if it’s denial from the majority of fans or what by we need to come to terms with that.

We should just play at Burton for a bit. Stadium should come down in price.

duck Mel Morris

Back to what I said 2 weeks ago....

Liquidation is a coming…

They better have not

We need this sorting now

Look just pick a pb 

There's no PB because we are not worth the money.

The club will be liquidated after the season is done.

Still, could be worse:

 

That'll be us in 6 weeks.... Its obvious by now that will be the case.

Why didn't the womens team get a points deduction? ?

Least the TV money pays some bills, need all we can get.

How many does Burton hold? Not practical surely…

6k? Least it’ll be a full house!

A lot of empty seats?

The slow bleed continues.

Obligatory Mel Morris is a twit. If any of you need reminding.

Been following this club up and down the country for 45 years but if it becomes a new club new beginning down the pyramid ….I’m out ! 
we will lose fans and before anyone accuses me of not being a proper fan here are my reasons 

the actual core of the club would be ripped out it will only be Derby County in name …it won’t feel the same for me and I won’t go to any games I just don’t think I can summon up the enthusiasm after the last two years and can only apologise

i wont be alone and that’s why I think we have to survive to be taken over but I fear the worst 

saying let’s start again a Phoenix club led by fans from scratch etc etc all sounds well and good but it will be heart breaking to see this once great club in such a position it really is soul destroying seeing us in such a mess ….thanks Morris I wish you’d never set foot in PP ??

100% agree with you.

Just now, TheresOnlyWanChope said:

Are we allowed back in league 2? I don't know of any rule that says this could happen. Just someone posted on here that it could be possible? I assume it would be lower down although maybe its not impossible

Nixon been going on about how it’s possible.

if Derby disappear though I’ll be done with football other than England in tournaments.

At least when we get liquidated we’re allowed back into league 2. Especially if we’d start in league 1 with -15.

People need to realise here’s duck all to buy, especially when you can get another championship club for not much more.

Mel Morris, the man that stripped Derby of its assets (stadium) and  is about to get it liquidated. He should be chucked in prison for being able to do this.

i'd guess (and it is only a guess) that the money we will recieve for Joz will go into a pot to be split across all creditors - just because we owe money for Joz and now received a chunk of money by selling him doesn't mean that the lattter cancels out the former.

As far as selling him for less than we owe, that's entirely down to the fee we paid and what he's now considered to be worth. If we really got £2M from the yanks, I'd suggest that's a pretty good price given how unproductive his time here has been.....

Nixon said the fee went straight to the creditor.
