    My take on it is that under Clowes, Morris remains a "sleeping partner" and that was a no no for Wayne.
    Don't get me wrong C!owes is great news but we have not seen the end of Mel.
    Hypothesis not ITK.

    One of the small victories here is an end to "Celebrity DCFC". Hopefully now we can get stable financially and just be a normal boring run-of-the-mill football club that the tabloid media simply have no interest in talking about.
    Since Lampard we've just had this bizarre media circus surrounding us.
    Please can we just be boring and normal and safe and no more drink-driving scandals or drunken hotel extortion attempts or any of that business?

    This is where any conversation should start and end.
    The most important thing right now is saving this football club, if thats Clowes, Ashley, Appleby or even Kirchner, we should be extremely grateful.
    Millions are being spent on a club that has little more than ourselves, the money it’s going to cost to purchase this club could potentially buy or even own a major stake in most Championship clubs.
    It makes zero business sense buying this football club, none what so ever, so whoever it is that completes the purchase, we should be eternally grateful as we have been far too close to losing this club that means so much to us all.

    I think it’s more plausible he just pulled out because it daunted on him how much of a struggle and strain it will be to run a football club profitably.
    I don’t buy that he has no money and this was a publicity stunt. He obviously sank money into being in contention with legal fees and what not. And pulling out has undoubtedly and predictably harmed his reputation.
    He hasn’t gained anything from being linked with us other than a spotlight now being shined on his other businesses which is probably the last thing he will have wanted.

    we have to face it... we need a rich idiot willing to pay over the odds for us to survive as the club we currently are. There's no realism of value that works. It's either someone pays more than we are worth, and we rebuild, or they don't and we are booted out of the Football League. The EFL cannot bypass rules just to keep a decent-sized club in the league. The HMRC won't accept peanuts. The footballing debts MUST be paid in full. DELL want 100% of what they're owed, which is increasing with every loan that Q take from them.
    It needs a sugar daddy to survive. End of..........
    CK could've been that Sugar Daddy, but the way fans treated him was disgusting over the last few weeks. We will never know if he would have been successful and if he was a genuine tyre-kicker or was scared off.

    In order to keep Rooney, I would have to assume the -15 point deduction is non-negotiable. 
    I don’t think I could stomach getting a season ticket if we start on minus points again. I’d imagine a lot of people in the same boat. Any owner happy to take a -15 point deduction needs to factor in the consequences of doing so.

    Not as daft as the Twitter vote answered by 300 people 50% for Ashley about 18% for CK which when ended was sent to CK, apparently the only one with cash near the table, saying go away we dont want you. If God to forbid we end up with nobody the poster will have a lot of explaining to do to a lot of oeople

    Yep, and if the administrators behaviour has not been above board or their fees excessively high, then unsecured creditors will have the opportunity to sue them accordingly. After all it is THEIR pot that the admin fees will be taken from, despite fans thinking that it is DCFC that have to pay them!

    The 'work' they've done is to keep the club running on a day to day basis despite the business being left in such a state that.. well a state that it needed administrators called in!
    Don't underestimate that job in itself. There's a reason Administrators fees are as high as they are, and there's a reason Administrators don't tend to be at the top of everyone's Christmas Card lists. It's not a job you do to make friends. 
    If another interested party comes forward now they benefit from the 'work' that's been done. They know the amount of money they need, there's an agreed (provisional) structure for how and when that money will go to creditors, there's an EFL approved business plan that can be used as a template, any new candidate knows what the budgets are going to look like, what's acceptable to the EFL. 
    With a bit of tweaking everything is already in place for someone to stump up the money CK was supposed to pay and the club is theirs.
     
    Up until recently there's been no veritable evidence that CK had no chance of getting the deal over the line. He's surrounded by entirely reputable people who have backed him up every step of the way.
    Proof of funds is proof of funds. I doubt the checks made on this by the admins are any different to the checks any other admin would make. 
    It's simply a fact that he has or had the money somewhere. That it appears to have gone missing now is a separate matter and I'd agree with people saying that there should have been some sort of 'test run' perfomed much earlier to prove that the money would arrive. It still remains though that there was no legal, no formal reason for anyone involved in the process to think he couldn't pay up - cynicism from supporters doesn't cut it, feelings don't come into it - there needs to be firm evidence presented as a reason not to proceed. 
    The crux of the second half if your post is "if you believe MA's representatives".
    That'll be a firm no. There's no point discussing MA further at this point except to say if you believe the PR that's coming from the biggest game player of the lot, we'll that's your prerogative. 
    If the administrators are in it purely to line their pockets and drag everything out intentionally, why did they even bother go to the EFL with a bidder and the cross claim cram down thing to get a PB in place for January?
    I suppose you could accuse them if doing that for show, to make it look like they wanted this all over months ago... but then you're not just calling them incompetent you're literally accusing them of illegal activity. 
    If that's the case it will all come out in the wash, but they've been convicted already by Derby fans. 
    If their fees are 'crazy' surely someone can prove that they aren't simply in line with what anyone anyone else would charge for the job? Mike Ashley refusing to pay someone their due doesn't make it any less due. 
    None of this is to say they haven't made some big mistakes, but some of the stuff that comes out of people's mouths about the administrators while they simultaneously wax verbal about other parties (with their own agenda) and swallow every PR fluff piece designed to make them look like some sort of victim in all of this is... I don't even have the words tbh.
