TF Ram

We're on the cusp of relegation but the manager, coaching staff and every single player come out of this season with enormous credit.
I am proud to be a Derby County supporter.
It has been a privilege to witness the effort of all those at the club this season.
The staff and the supporters do not deserve what we've been through - and football has to restructure itself so this does not keep happening.
But what we've seen on the pitch - against all the odds has been staggering.
Rooney, Ram ? 
Rosenior, Ram ? 
The whole squad, Rams ? 
Those behind the scenes, Rams ? 
Thank you to all of you. COYR ?

Pretty encouraged by the latest Q&A. Still extremely wary due to what’s happened over the last 18 months, but I’m starting to believe.

Let’s get Netflix in and have a Derby Will Never Die series.

Two years ago (I think) on the 4th April it was Derby vs Forest and the Aintree Grand National. Everything got cancelled. The 4th April is my birthday. I was absolutely gutted. Yesterday the Mrs had surprised me with my very own pub. I and she work for the NHS. We were exhausted. I had a funny feeling that the PB would be announced on or around my birthday. Finally some hope and future COYR

You better get cooked ready then.

To those saying he’s a tyre kicker, Kirchner passed the Q test on funds to even get the chance to bid (£50m + £50m for ongoing funding), he did the EFL fit and proper tests off his own back back in November. He wouldn’t pay what we wanted, he’s looked at Preston but now possibly a better deal is available for Derby he’s back in. 
 
Have no reason to think he isn’t legit. Fact he’s potentially going to be named PB and will look to buy the club, I wonder if @The Baron still thinks he’s Erik Alonso MarkII

Let's again try to summarise our position only this time using visual metaphors . The first one depicts where we are right now.
Imagine all the 'good guys' are pulling on the lead and that the dog represents all of the current potential buyers...
 

 
For clarity, here's the same metaphor would look like if the buyers could actually
see some value in the deal and were keen to buy at the prices being quoted...
 

 
And to fix this problem, here's the erstwhile admins trying to persuade Morris (the dog in this case)
to drop the stadium cost and make all these problems go away forever...
 

 
Meanwhile, here's what we're all doing....
 

 
Hope this helps! x

Q wait for another week

Tomorrow is the deadline for bids to be submitted. Please don't confuse this with the deadline 4 weeks back where bids had to be submitted, completely different things.
Once bids are submitted tomorrow, Quantuma will assess those bids and discuss them over the weekend. Please don't confuse the assessing of bids with the assessing that has reportedly been taking place for the last 4 weeks since bids were submitted 4 weeks ago, as these are two totally different things.
Once discussed, quantuma hope to identify a PB and will present that to the EFL.
Not hard to understand really is it?

How do you know he isn't good enough?

Probably talking about if we'll see out the seasoning

It's been clear for a very long time these potential new owners (if they indeed exist) have zero interest or passion for Derby County football club..they are out to get a sale through for a bare minimum price.
It appears they do not care one jot whether all of our playing assets walk away for nothing, nor if we end up on -15 next season.
Doesn't fill me with any enthusiasm that they will be decent guardians of our club.
Mel Morris has everything to answer for. He has gone down in our history as the worst owner we have ever had by a country mile. An absolute odious human being at every level, enjoy your hundreds of millions you are a disgrace.

Can't help but feel Quantuma bigged up how much of an obstacle to selling the club Boro's claim represented.
I've certainly not been "pleasantly surprised" by the speed of progress since it was removed.

Cheer up we'll be ok

Absolutely. The Administrators have marketed the club to all and sundry but if the hole left to fill is just too big, that is not their fault.
I think they are giving it their very best shot to find a way out that leaves the Club in the best position possible - which in turn will result in the best outcome for creditors - and only when that process is absolutely exhausted will they go to plan B and take what they can. Given that it would appear the Club has sufficient funds to play out the season, they will probably feel they still have time to keep searching. Or perhaps more accurately, arm twisting current interested parties to get above the viability line.

Absolutely agree with all of this other than "to save a few £" - think it's going to be a lot more than a few!
There seems to be a bit of a fans' narrative that the admins have just been sitting on three perfectly reasonable, fully-formed bids while stroking their beards and counting their cash. I strongly suspect what's actually been happening is that they have been desperately trying to a) convert "interest" into solid bids, and b) negotiate these bids into a position where they allow us to exit administration, preferably without an extra 15 point penalty. And that isn't just a matter of negotiating with the "bidders" but with HMRC, too.
I would agree that their communication has been poor but in truth, what are they supposed to say? If the situation is worse than we think then does it really help to start announcing that publicly? Will that encourage higher bids, or will it do the exact opposite?
We all want there to be a villain here, a block, a nice simple scapegoat who is to blame for us being unable to get out of the situation. The sad fact is that the main problem now might simply be that no one is going to pay the amount we need to move forward, at least without a 15 point penalty next season. We are in a financial mess and our remaining "assets" (including players we'd like to secure on contracts, but can't) are losing value by the day. 
Maybe it isn't the admins fault we can't find someone to pay £50m for a stricken championship club who are very likely to be playing in the third tier next season. Maybe it just isn't possible.

“We increased our offer to £30m for Derby as a whole," Adam Binnie told BBC Sport.
 
I know its seen better days but £30m for the whole City seems a bit stingy.

We'd be deducted 3 points for making Parry's cornflakes go soggy whilst he read the email.
 

Ah, we're back to posting nonsense again. Fair enough, here's a puppy attempting to tea-bag a cat. You're welcome!

What the EFL heard "we have done a forecast, and we have money to see the season out".
What Quantuma meant "we have done a forecast, Trap 2 and Trap 5, Romford dogs, 11.07 on March 30th".
