Got my eye on Weds for completion now. These things do take time and if this time needs to be in one go else we go back to square 1 then it looks like it needs 3 consecutive days (not the 2 we've just had). If it's not Weds then I'll start catastrophising again (I'm lying this whole affair has given me the resting heart rate of a field mouse on the verge of a panic attack).
Agree, if this falls through (see I couldnt even wait until the end of this post to catastrophise) and MA rocks up, there is a lot more pain to go through as he needs us in a worse state to get the best purchase price. Resolved about a week before the season starts, the kit will effectively be playing in vests and pants and with no time to assemble a squad I might get a game first up.

This has bhindi longest experience of my life. 
And I've seen Stoke play.
Reckon it'll be a week now before we know more (although I know less than Jon Snow at this point)

Flipping eck, whilst doomscrolling Twitter for the 177th time today and scrolling past all the trees that seem to be celebrating promotion by living on the dcfc timeline. Spotted a tweet from that perennial numpty Adam Fisher stating that MM has a bid in that get us -12 points and him the club back at a reduced price.
Imagine the stones on MM if that is true (which I doubt)! Give us a year from hell and mental anguish, relegation, asset stripping and near ruination and then walks back through the door all: "Ey up Wazza and co, no hard feelings eh?"

Had a phaal once . Couldn't sit down for a week. 

I knew there would be a bit of argie Bhaji, before it gets finalised. It's all the bad Korma that we've caused over the last few.
Still phaal be alright in the end.

Let's hope that the next two days aren't Bank Holidays and then we can get this done!
All I want is to see footage of CK sat there saying "Well I've bought this club but who is Derby?" 
Then we get a number of people (Rooney, Davies, Allsopp) Spartacus style saying "I am Derby" then it goes to Max Bird: "I am Derby and so's my mate" camera pans across to Shinnie grinning at the camera.
Then the screen says "We're all Derby aren't we? Season Tickets for sale 10th June 2022"
I ... I think I'd better go and have a lie down.

You said 2 minutes 5 minutes ago!

Really hoping a US bank holiday is more of a 1 day delay (although how CK didnt see the day coming is beyond me), than the Abu Dhabi 2 years later banks still haven't opened sort of thing we were victims to a while back!
Ready for a new start now, and to finally look forward to footballing stories again!

When I watched him with any kind of attention he was playing for Alfreton (a very good CB partnership alongside Kyle MacFadzean). As a side they looked rather composed on the ball that year (yes I know Conf North) they got promoted to the Conf National, although that was a few years ago. I'd like to think he's got it in him, providing he plays for a team that plays that style.

I reckon that's when the game changes. I think it's fair to assume that MA has no interest in buying Derby at anything like the prices CK is negotiating.
When we run out of money, after our remaining assets go (such as they are) and liquidation is very real, -15 points is irrelevant, a clubs history is irrelevant, there is nothing for the creditors so they get nothing. The club we love ends. 
Then there is a name for sale for a nominal amount, there is a ground holding 33k in a city with no club, available at a discount. That is the cheapest someone could get the club, so that's what I reckon MA will pay, no more.
Mid July that'll be it. Current funds go to June, remaining assets (Bielik, Bird, Knight) another month. Then winding up, then MA.
Sorry I cant find any optimism guys, it's long since left me.

Anyway, to sum up do we reckon is happening on Monday?
A) Takeover done, (or as good as with CK taking over funding etc.)
B) Yet another extension until end of the week or when the boss of Q has paid off his Bugati (whichever comes last)
C) CK falls by the wayside, we sit in limbo back at square 1. Another 150 pages about Mike Ashley before Tea time.
Reckon we are getting B.

Graham Richard's holding court on Millwall fans during the play off semi in 94 was a particular highlight.

Yeah, think you are right actually, forget my ramblings ? I guess I'm part a paranoid nothing is agreed until everything is agreed, and part nothing would surprise me anymore when it comes to this mother of all shenanigans. 
Just saw a tweet from Elias (the athletic guy) saying that some council reps sat with CK during the game.

Is MM "in communication with interested parties" combined with CK "done all we can" suggest that MM is doing a deal with MA, sat in the wings waiting for exclusivity to end? The ground isn't in admin, so I guess he can sell it to whomever he fancies, whenever he fancies.
MM is a massive creditor as well isnt he? so any move out of admin will be to someone he agrees to, not necessarily the best one for us and Derby. If for whatever reason he isn't feeling it for CK then he can scupper it easily.
I cant believe I'm going to say this but I reckon the next ... sigh ... 48 hours are going to be massive.

I've recently just un-followed Derbyshire Live - Derby County because of this. Nothing but scaremongering, it's true bad news generates clicks but it got too much.
For the past 2 years they've been scaremongering and to be honest the past 2 years there wasn't much positive news to report on so I let it go but now there is positive developments and they're still pushing rubbish like "Rooney to Burnley", "Players ready to leave" I'm sick of it. 
Sadly it's true negative = clicks but there becomes a point where you question whether they actually support Derby and would just prefer Derby to fold because of all the revenue they'd gain...
