Ram a lamb a ding dong

V good call indeed

Nope

This is the worst missed deadline of them all.
Nobody even told us there was a deadline. They missed setting the deadline that they would subsequently go on to miss.
What an oversight!

18 mins to go.......

Yeah,was 1PM Tennessee time.

6 mins

Sad to see him go, but as one door closes another opens - Curtis Davies assistant player/manager ?

Good luck to him. Hope he does well there.
Hopefully wont get too much grief from our fans for leaving. He's got to look after himself given the state of our club.

2 hours and 16 mins to go ......

I would interpret it that the EFL have no clue if CK'c money will arrive or not but they want a resolution quickly because they have a league to organise and Derby need to prove funding to complete the fixtures.

Suspect CK has secured a line of credit in the UK and provided a guarantee against it. CK gets the club Monday / Tuesday, Fat Mike kicked into touch yet again. To my way of thinking, tyre-kickers generally don't settle £1.6 Million bills to maintain the ruse or simply for a 'bit of a larf', so if that particular rumour is true, as it appears most likely it is, then those accusing CK of lying about his transfer may well need some bacon to go with the copious amounts of egg on their face next week. If it's not true, then presumably Fat Mike will simply fire over £30 million early next and we'll all kneel at his altar in gratitude.

Just one more point .
During this whole administration process the fans have been treated shabbily with no consideration from all areas 

YES

I'm genuinely supprised Rooney hasn't walked yet.  
Hes put up with more than what most managers put up with in an entire career already. It's obvious he has ambitions of being a successful manager and at the moment he hasn't got the tools to enable him to do that. 
For me Q shouldn't be paid for the "work" they have done up until this point. It's been a complete shambles. 
Kirchner now has to be put on the Bamford list for me. 
Let's hope one of the other interested parties can take over ASAP.

This delay will likely cost us Rooney, Rosenior, a load of contract renewals and a load of transfer targets. We've gone from having a plan and a way forward to complete chaos with hardly any time to completely rebuild a squad ravaged by administration. Absolutely no chance we challenge next season. Back to the treading water (at best) and uncertainty we've had for the last two years.
Everyone involved in this administration process, be it Quantuma, the EFL, Gibson, Morris, Kirchner etc has been utterly incompetent and the staff, players and fans are being treated with utter contempt by anyone in a position to do anything about it.

I think the mental health piece is concerning. Coming off the Covid lockdowns straight into 2 years of sanctions and administration for the club, then we have the current cost of living and inflation crises and a war in Europe. That's enough to unsettle most folk I'd wager.  While wealthy men posture and manipulate, I wonder whether they ever consider the human cost attributable to their actions. I somehow doubt it. 

Good luck. One of the good guys caught up in this. Hope it works out for him.

Can’t blame him for leaving this absolute shower. Good luck to him. He deserves a proper job.

Rooney next out the door

Nursing a glass of wine whilst frantically refreshing twitter to see wtf is going on. Quantuma want chasing out of town for the lousy job they've done absolute jokers

You quoted some random person on twitter and came to the same wrong conclusion as the person making the tweet. Q has made it clear Morris has not changed the asking price for PPS, even the Daily Fail says the deal for PPS is all agreed and ready to go. The problem is that CK, who was the highest bidder, hasn't paid up. And Ashley isn't the next highest bidder either.  Ashley has deep pockets but also has short arms.

On another note, the Transfer Window opens today. I expect that rival Clubs will be trying it on with Quantuma.

Nipped out for a couple of hours last night and came back to this latest shemozzle.
But.......It looks like Ed Dawes was largely correct and not stirring, it looks like Nixon was semi-correct and that everything was in place/in the pipeline for the CK bid (but not moving fast enough)
.....and, thankfully, it looks like we will be saved - by someone.
Also, thankfully, most of the interested parties are hard-nosed business people who should not be put off by lies, threats, insinuations and insults by a few numpties in our fan base.
That said, it would be nice if we could all rein in abuse so that no potential saviour walks away because of it.
I think we've passed the point of being too choosy.

Nixon hoping it goes on until the weekend then he can tweet the dry your eyes Sunday girl lyric.

I've kept quiet on this as thought best to see how things play out. 
One thing a lot of people seem to be completely forgetting on this, is that contracts have been exchanged, conditional on the ground sale.
Therefore, unless it is the ground sale that stops the transaction from progressing, CK is on the hook.
Not sure why anyone thinks he would exchange contracts if he did not have the money to back it up.
Out of interest, to anyone that has spent the day abusing CK, how will you now react to him if the purchase goes ahead?
