If we were to get let’s say £7m for Knight this would be enough for us to complete the season. Am I right in thinking that the EFL could then allow us to bring in free transfers and loans? 

Also says Curtis could be on his way ?

Regardless of the Gibbon, surely the EFL will think this through and realise that this will open the biggest can of worms and create problems between teams that they simply won’t be able to deal with. I am hoping common sense prevails on this….

The issue is that they are not a class of creditor that can rank alongside proper footbal creditor items like player wages, unpaid transfer fees etc.

So unlike proper football creditor items they cannot trump insolvency law, and jump ahead of HMRC. And that's how it should be .. why should HMRC get squeezed out by these dodgy claims? 


 

I contacted Central News about the situation on Friday. They have just emailed me back and have said they're aware of the situation and are planning on covering the story tomorrow. They might be phoning me if they do. Hopefully from there, we can get this national. 

I think any crowd-funding needs to be done through one of the recognised supporters groups - we don't want people going rogue and diluting any effort.

Well said. I know your views about Rooney earlier this season and last season. I was aligned with you at the end of last season. Wonder if Jourdan has managed to get himself there yet?
Fair play

I can’t see him being on Everton’s shortlist but I said the same about Lampard and Chelski. After a very poor start Wayne has done really well for us. If he is offered the opportunity I wouldn’t blame him if he goes. However, he could find himself in the same position as Frank if things don’t work out. He is producing something a bit special here and I hope he now sees it through.

Interesting times ahead. Ok then Macca, here it is…..I want him to stay ??

Exactly, see above ?

Hull just lost. That table looks a whole lot better since this time yesterday.

Nixon is simply unable to run a story on Derby without adding some fear and uncertainty. It's a relatively positive story so to even things up he added some totally unnecessary detail about Curtis having a release clause but crucially no detail on if he actually wants wants leave or if another club has offered him a deal.
It's honestly pathetically predictable reporting.

If Ashley is talking to Gibson it's likely to consist of 'drop your claim or I will sue the arse off you when I take over Derby'!

I have and the thought of it being rubbed in by 3000 lunatics while I am playing football makes me feel sick. Totally shameful and totally despicable behaviour ?

Can someone confirm the exact email addy for Rick Parry?
All I got back was this signed photo, and some meaningless words about never giving up...
 

Ok, fess up. Who else has set Rick up with an account on Grindr?

I'm only just catching up with posts from yesterday, but where I believe the EFL are taking a pedantic and erroneous line is that they are effectively saying that these claims must be treated as debts owed to Football Creditors simply because the claimants are football clubs. This is patent nonsense, because they don't arise from any kind of transaction between DCFC and the Claimants. It's not what the Football Creditors rules were designed for. I imagine HMRC think this is bollo too. 
Bear in mind that every £ these two chancers are paid is a £ that genuine unsecured Creditors won't see. The EFL should not be placing them above genuine creditors. It's disgraceful.

Briefly, so we can enjoy the glow of today’s victory. 
I’ve spent a lifetime working on restructurings and a few years recently teaching about them at a top institution. That’s not to say everything I post on here will be right.
But for what it’s worth, my take is that this will all get sorted, as much as anything  because for us to be liquidated or to lose the share is an irrational result. And my (more amateur) footballing view is that IF Rooney can keep what is left of his squad together, there is a decent chance we will stay up. 
I really do apologise if I have pi$$ed you off and even more if I have increased the anxiety all of this throws up. In my case that anxiety (and anger) has resulted in me posting more than I should have done.
This is a proper apology, not like Boris’
 

I find it interesting that the 17 day window to stop liquidation, handed down by efl coincides with the transfer window.
It means the efl are demanding that the Derby sell their best players for a lower price, as top price will not guarantee, that the sale goes through before the window closes.
Even once Derby sell players, the transfer embargo isn't lifted so the efl gives Derby zero chance of signing replacements.
Efl know Derby must sell to raise funds to get through to the end of the season, so they give a 17 day window.
Plus they know any buyer will not complete the sale in 17 days.
The efl are sick of Derby doing well after the points penalty that they handed down, they don't want Derby to survive and so they reduce the teams strength still further by forcing the sale of best players.
The efl claims that they have the best interests of Derby at heart, a complete lie.

Brilliant, no other word describes it. I AM definitely warming to Wazza. Well done to him and all the players. We would be 10th in the table. Proud and angry in equal measures ??
