How on earth did you get a secret camera inside the negotiations?

Comments like this make me think the purchase of the stadium is nowhere.
I don't want to see "Options Open" - I want to see "The Purchasing process has been agreed and we're now going through the fine print" - this message from Derby CC is disheartening to say the least.

THE STATE WE ARE NOW REDUCED TO -
'Ground sharing' - REALLY?
No pop at @Carl Sagan, he is a clever bloke, just reflecting on what a good poster is saying on here -
we now have the Kaide Gordon money to keep us on life support for 2 weeks in the hope of getting a deal over the line.' - REALLY?
 
Appalling.

Don't worry when they win the play-offs they will get that lovely Premier League coin to pay it all off.

Trouble is we don’t know what to think anymore.  
 

I remember my Dad moving when I was about 20, me and my brother (16 yrs old) went over to help him the move his house contents.
We were going to shift his valuables and help him sort stuff at the other end, the removal men were going to empty his house, load their wagon and unload at the other end as per.
The removal lorry shows up ...  three tiny blokes step out .. we ended up doing just about everything.
 
I doubt WHR Senior paid them much ... maybe someone will be on later on this thread saying how he was annoyed his 4 ft Dad was underpaid in 1988 for moving this nasty old bugger's stuff in Alveston.
 
 
 
 

Citeh. Manure. Florist. Direby. Or any other corruption of a clubs name. Usually found on Twitter and Internet Fora.
Written by grown men (I presume) who, for some unfathomable reason, must think this is funny, "banter", perhaps even clever. 
Also, the slight variant of inserting asterisks, as though the mere name of the club is swearing. E.g. N********m F****t.
Forget how stupid this makes one look, it takes about 5 times as long making sure there are the correct number of asterisks as if you just typed the proper name out, so stop it.

I was in a charity shop the other day, just having a bit of a nosey in downtown Beeston. Sounds of discussion from the counter.
Customer- I'm willing to pay eight pounds for it, but no more than that
Cashier- I'm afraid that ten pounds is what it's priced at
Customer- Yes, but I'm not willing to pay that. Can't you ask upstairs to see if it can be reduced?
Cashier- Well, I can ask
Other customers were looking on and the bartering customer looked sheepish and walked out
It was a charity shop FFS. A CHARITY SHOP. In aid of an end of life hospice. DOUBLE FFS

It was a lease property, She refused to pay her retention fee, A retention fee is what the leaving lease holder leaves money with their Solicitor in case of management fees going over budget, Fees returned if not gone over budget.
I had 2 choices, Insist they pay or take a risk myself and hope there is no over spend, I insisted they pay and If they choose not to it would put the sale in jeopardy, After 2 days of toing and froing from Solicitors they decided to leave the money with their solicitor.
2 days before exchange of contracts my Solicitor is sent a statement from the management company showing there is still £1,600.94 outstanding from their service charge after they had told me all existing debt had been cleared, My Solicitor advised I cancel exchange until this is agreed to be paid off on completion, I cancel exchange as if contracts are exchanged I'm left with the outstanding debt as I'll be the new lease holder, We were to exchange on the 22rd April and complete 25th April, the 22nd, 25th and 26th April Their Solicitor is trying to make contact with them with no luck.
This was in it's 17th week of the sale, I am now effing pi$$ed off, On the afternoon of the 26th I pulled out of the sale and my property sale, On the 27th I get a phone call from their estate agents asking how can "WE" save this, They were told there's no longer a chance of saving this and I bid him farewell.
I have had to replace furniture and other sundries at a cost of close on £2k, I am now waiting for the itemised legal bill from the solicitors circa £2.5k?‍♀️, This was my 1st foray into the lease market and last, I've decided to stay where I am?

I didn't get to where I am today by paying full whack for second hand gear just to help out the poor/needy/sick/elderly etc!

Leicester Forest is a motorway services not a rivalry.

Don't worry when they win the play-offs they will get that lovely Premier League coin to pay it all off.

I will be happy if we just sort our poo out in L1.
 
There are some happy clappers on here who think we will go straight back up - that would be great obviously - but rather than desperately lunge at it it needs to be done in a sustainable fashion.
Create a model that can then be expanded for an eventual return to the Promised Land.

'Well done Pike, I wondered who would be first to spot that'

Maybe that shows I haven't' actually accepted the relegation myself!
My point is that its going to take a while - I'd like it to happen next season - but snatching at it without some foundations in place could be a disaster.
I will be happy eating my kit-kat in the gloom of the Kassam, watching a dull 0 - 0 knowing we are £1.19 in credit with the bank.

But we won't be in the same division as Everton/Burnley/Norwich/Watford next season? So why is that a point?
Stopping the rot is called administration. Yes, we need to get out of that but to do that we need to prove that the rot has rotted, been cut out and removed.
Rebuild will certainly take a while, look at any of the clubs that have gone down in our state. All the way back to Burnley, Wolves (both of these two went all the way to the bottom), Forest, Sunderland, Charlton, Leeds. It's going to take a bit more than those over on Twitter who think we just need to resign Chris Martin and Shinnie, convince Curtis to stay and possibly sign back Marriott.
I'm not having a pop at you but making a general comment - it's just amazing that we are in the middle of what we (OK - Mel) did and still the answer is to go out and buy in a whole new squad for an instant push back.

Not yours mine 

It would be great to go straight back up obviously, but still too many questions marks hanging - the ground, actual confirmation of sale, further points deduction (?).
 

Oldham were founder members of the Premiership and have suffered a remorseless slide into non league. Having flirted with liquidation, an owner the fans really dislike it, hero players coming back to try to save them, it is all over. It will be 30 years to the day after the start of the Prem that they start their non league adventure.
Could it happen to the Rams, of course it could. Just hope our new owner can halt the rot. 

It would be nice but I would imagine there are a few agents stirring the pot.

Bless. So pent up he can't even string a coherent sentence together...
