I knew Pereplotkins would have something to do with the future of this football club one day 

The Everton board seeing this thread:

If Rooney knows what's good for him, he'd learn from Lampard taking his 'unmissable opportunity' too soon and hang fire a year or two to gain extra experience. 
I love the way Rooney has handled the whole admin scenario, but he still has lots to learn as a manager. He often waits too long to make changes, hasn't freshened up the starting 11 enough recently and players like Morrison getting 90 minutes (when he's only ever good for 90), are all things he'll improve on over time.
Everton are well funded but an absolute mess, I don't think he's ready to take it on.

Written in the stars

If he does go (and for Everton I wouldn’t begrudge or blame him ) Then it’s an internal appt for me Daz Waz or  Curtis player manager 

ducking hell,knight played a blinder did he?!

Easy to fund when you're not paying your taxes I suppose

Might be controversial but I wouldn't be against him going. 
We will get a few million in compensation for him leaving and we get his massive wages off the budget. Interim manager until the end of the season and a new manager to start afresh in June, hopefully under new ownership.

In what way? Kirchner is one of several interested parties - the only thing that makes him stand out is that he’s been very vocal whereas the others have kept quiet. I’ve said previously that he may end up looking a bit of a plum if he doesn’t get the club, but it’s been his decision to shout about things….

But he said he would do that from the outset. The administrators have consistently said the stadium is not a problem. But news outlets such as the Mail the Athletic etc have decided to ignore those statements as it doesn’t fit the certain liquidation narrative.
We will see and definitely having any confidence in Mel doing the right thing is dubious.

Play
                            Alsop
Ebosele       Cashin  Davies (Cap)     Williams
Knight                   Bird               Thompson
                     Watson       Sibley
                              Plange
Subs - Stretton, Hutchinson, McDonald, +2 other Academy Grads
For the rest of the season. Sell the others to reduce the debt    

I think it's inevitable we will lose considerable amount of players in January. 
Tom Lawrence, Louie Sibley, Max Bird, Lee Buchanan, Jason Knight, Graeme Shinnie, Nathan Byrne & Kelle Roos are all likely to leave. I would also have to imagine Jozwiak would be another likely to be sold, along with Bielik although I'm not 100% sure on his fitness level at the moment. 
Who knows with the likes of Ebosele and Liam Thompson. They may have done enough to get a move too. 
In some respect, I hope that these players do get out and get a chance to play for a club not absolutely riddled with disease. It would be remiss of me as a Derby fan not to want them to all do well in their career. Although, saying that, it would be sickening to see clubs with fans who have reveled in our misery be beneficiaries of these sales, but what can we do.  

He’s a very good shot stopper, but his positional sense, catching and commanding of his box is poor and always has been. No matter the goalkeeping coach, he doesn’t appear able to have the inherent flaws coached out of him. 
as a no 2 / 3 he’d be fine at any club in the league and at the price he could leave us for it makes sense 
 
 

It's like Christmas come early!!!!!

I agree! I get the 12 point deduction rule being brought in as there was a flurry of clubs going into admin to cut their debts which shafted local suppliers and HMRC alike, and the league wanted to discourage that.
I think this is why fan representation on the board is so important, if we had people that cared about this club and not just the potential return on investment by gaining promotion, perhaps the alarm bells could've been ringing years ago over the state of our finances - with Pearce and Morris given the boot?

I'm sorry but the way this club has been mismanaged so badly there should be a police investigation......  Starting with how a Championship club could be allowed to run up debts of nearly £30m to HMRC.....

Cheery bed time reading. I get the point about HMRC potentially benefitting from our liquidation and forcing clubs down the line to avoid admin as a debt cutting tool.
My only hope is that HMRC think few clubs will take the admin gamble deliberately, even if they see us broker a deal, and as such feel their best outcome is to recover some of what we owe now.
On a personal note, how bad does it look that we as a club are having to haggle our way out of paying tax we owe. In a pandemic. Mel Morris hang your head in shame.

Mark it of ten
10 out of 10.??????????

Just read (yet another pessimistic) Matt Slater article in the Athletic. From his sources and I do think he’s genuine, the view from outside Derby within football, and from agents, insolvency experts, administrator, lawyers, brokers - most people he has spoken to think liquidation is a distinct possibility as the debts are just too high. He has taken this view from the start and to be honest, the things he cited in his latest article to justify his argument - the companies house statement of affairs -for the most part weren’t new news and don’t make our position more precarious.
But while I don’t share his pessimism, his article highlights the situation. We’re relying on someone seriously wealthy who potentially is prepared to pay over the odds because they can see long term potential and are prepared to risk losing money to fulfill an ambition of owning a football club.
 
We have posters saying they are not comfortable about how close Kirchner is to Rooney and his people and concerned that Rooney may have brought them in thus making him almost bulletproof in the job. We have people concerned at Rush/Appleby being involved again (even though they won’t - their in the game of bringing bidders to the table they won’t be around post acquisition). Quite simply we don’t have a bloody choice. There’s 4 at the moment who is to say the other 3 won’t walk away, or god forbid all 4. Quite simply we don’t have a bloody choice who we get, we should accept whoever we get from these 4 credible bidders with open arms because it will mean the club is saved whatever happens. I think I’ve been swept up by the confidence of the administrators, this remains a tricky situation.
On a more positive note, in the comments on Matt Slater’s article Matt also reveals he’s recently spoken to an insolvency expert who thinks the administrator might have a convincing argument to persuade HMRC to accept 25p in the pound (the minimum EFL requirement) on the basis that with football creditors needing to be paid, if the company (DCFCs 6 companies or whatever) don’t have the assets to settle the debt HMRC can’t compel a new owner to settle it. He’s the only person to argue this though. Additionally his sources think Wycombe and Boro don’t have much of a case against us, they’d be better off going after the EFL for not enforcing their rules properly. Therefore their claims are more of an annoyance rather than a legitimate concern threatening a deal.
We wait and see. Im an optimist and therefore remain hopeful but we should be grateful for whoever takes a punt on us because we’re not in a position to pick and choose.

Roos - 3, challenging for the title of worst distribution in the EFL. Takes years off my life whenever the ball is at his feet or he comes out of his goal. Couple of decent stops but my word, he's a hazard.
Byrne - 5.5, willing runner but looked shaky, nearly set Lawrence up for a second with a good run and cut back.
Forsyth - 3, not his fault that he was used as a target man for 70 minutes which clearly isn't his strength, but does not look anywhere near match fit and was found out every time he had to make a pass/do any defending.
Jagielka - 5.5, been solid this season but wasn't near his best tonight. 
Davies - 6.5, best of the back 4 tonight for me.
Shinnie - 6, great assist but looks knackered, given the miles he puts in every week surely we need to look at rotating the midfield 3 more.
Bird - 6, nothing special but fairly tidy
Thompson - 7, baller, 3rd professional game (?) and he was the most composed player on the pitch with the ball at his feet. Again.
Morrison - 4, like a few others just looks either completely knackered or not match fit. Got to give Watson/Sibley a go at CAM next game, I beg you.
Knight - 7, Duracell bunny, with quality anorl. Nearly forced a second goal for us before half time with his running, but like the rest looked knackered come 65 minutes. 
Lawrence - 6.5, took his goal amazingly, if we get anywhere close to 21st this season his goals are going to carry us. Drifts in and out of games but we know that, unlucky not to get a second after Byrne's pull back got caught under his feet. 
 
A word on Rooney, been immense since this whole shower started but I feel these are games he'll look back on with a few more years' experience under his belt and regret not making changes sooner/rotating the starting 11. I understand the desire to keep a settled 11, but with such a threadbare squad and the general lack of subs he's made so far, a few players are looking completely shattered. Why Joz was his first change tonight as well is beyond me, just didn't seem like the game he'd be able to affect.
