Does anyone remember when being a football fan was fun? Just looking forward to every Saturday and the odd Tuesday/Wednesday? Points were earned on the pitch and not taken away by some Bamford. 
 
The time when people who worked for the club knew they’d get paid, that they could pay their mortgage/rent, knew they could feed their kids.
The time that it wasn’t downright embarrassing being a Derby County fan, not having your mates rip you a new one about how an absolute shambles we have become? 
 
The times you just knew your children had a team to support when they were older…
They were good times, money has destroyed football and the people who make the money are absolute scum. 
 
I’d wish the worst of fates on the EFL, Quantuma, Mel Morris, Chris Kirchner, they’ve all collectively put us in the position we are in today. 
 
Take me back to the late 90’s when being a football supporter was actually joyful. 

Anyone else just immune/numb to the nonsense at this point?

You know it’s poor when the admin and EFL statements are totally different 

My favourite thing about that EFL statement is how they completely skate over the fact they also approved the CK deal and did their own due diligence.
Cracking job fellas!

The EFL statement wreaks of spite and vindictiveness and a hint of they aren’t disappointed at all. 

Generic EFL statement as always "Disappointed......working hard to save DCFC blah, blah, blah. You've played a massive part in getting us into this situation. f*** right off Parry and your band of ? ends.

But that isn’t what Quantuma’s statement said is it Mr EFL? It’s so hard to work out what the truth is with none of the facts and all the various speculation and slightly contradictory statements throughout the process.
Also the language in the EFL statement seems inappropriately emotive and almost inflammatory to me

I want to make it absolutely clear that I would take Saudi money at Derby County, short of the leader of ISIS himself, I’m really not picky at this point. 

Me too

Whatever happens, I’ve had a lovely time on here today. 

If the funds have cleared then this day is about as Derby County as you can possibly get.
Never simple with us is it?

Agree somewhat. But for how vocal he has been on social media for the last months, where is his post attempting to calm fears? One sentence would do it. 

No, I believe the £28m was purely for the club/creditors - PP was not included if below report is to be believed. I think they might have made a subsequent offer of circa £30m which did include the stadium

Wouldn't be surprised now if potential buyers other than Ashley came forward. The big sticking points back in Dec/Jan were the parasite claims & the sale of PP - assuming Clowes is happy to lease to other buyers, there's a clearer deal to be struck with a new bidder that may mean us avoiding 15 points.
Fully support Quantuma proposing to end exclusivity to Kirchner & by the by, his conduct when questioned on the golf course today was a disgrace. He is very aware of how desperate fans are & it wouldn't have hurt to have just fronted up & offered some assurances or empathy if he wasn't in a position to offer clarity. Like many on Twitter have remarked, it looked like an episode of Rogue Traders.

I think it's pig ignorant more than anything. And shows a total lack of empathy with the fanbase.
Given that when it suits him his predisposition for firing off random crap on Twitter it's pretty shoddy.

Crazy that after all this, the most money  Kirchner put into the club was buying that coat

I want the club to survive but I cannot accept how some fans are just willing to accept someone who thinks a 15 point deduction is okay.

I think the disrespect being given to CK is diabolical.
 

Franks Play off team announcement.

Hilarious that posters on here are happy to lay into people for doubting this deal was going ahead or being sceptical.
The lack of serious communication and missed deadlines throughout the entirety of this administration has been beyond a joke. The fans have been made to feel hopeful and then let down over and over again.
Be interesting to see what’s said today. Surely there has to be a statement from somebody?

One of the most annoying things here is that Ashley will swoop in, get a deal done in about 2 days and it will become apparent that he could have done that at literally any point in the last 12 months 

So for this to collapse it will have taken the EFL and Quantuma to both completely fail to perform any remotely adequate due diligence, right? Quantuma shouldn't be allowed anywhere near another football club.
