Point taken. This was more of thing about the EFL but maybe didn't read like that ?

CLOWES!
It's CLOWES!
Goddammit.

What, Spending most of the time in the prem and for 2 seasons being champions of the championship, then selling us for £300 mill??
As apposed to someone who loved the club, left us relegated, millions in debt and with 5 contracted players.
Yeah tough one innit 

I don't see the correlation between someone's personal wealth and how much they think an asset is worth.

Not 100% sure it’s his mouth he’s talking out of……making a choice between a buyer and liquidation shouldn’t need more than a fraction of a second to decide….and (for the hard of thinking) liquidation is the wrong answer…

What is the opposition to Mike Ashley? I don’t get it. He wouldn’t take on Derby if he couldn’t make a profit it out it. To make a profit, you need PL football or have amazing recruitment (buy cheap, sell high). Well I’d welcome either at Pride Park.
People are worried Rooney would walk and so would the players. News flash, Rooney and the current players (the good ones anyway) aren’t going to be here in 5 years regardless who the owner is. They will go on to bigger and better, it’s only a question of time.
Derby is bigger than Rooney and the current staff. Derby, the club and all its history, is far more important.
So if that means Mike Ashley, a further points deduction, relegation to League Two before the reset, so be it.
 

Classy! ?
If you believe there is a 'forum Gestapo' in play, why not exercise your right to post elsewhere? 

Why? They wrote to him when the CK deadline expired and he replied saying he’d like to talk - surely that’s a positive?

Did Appleby put a bid in last night?, did Morgan?, or Gadsby?, or anyone else? No? or do we just not know? Pretty good chance that they have to follow process - Q invite interest and interested parties respond - MA has made that public, the others have not…..

From a fans point of view you’re spot on - from a hard-nosed businessman looking at a 5-10 year investment, I’m not so sure….

Not strictly true - ideally they want a deal that matches as that makes their job simple and allows them to conclude the deal quickly (which would reduce the complaints about the way they’ve handled things) - ultimately if CK can’t do the deal he’s agreed then Q have to negotiate with the interested parties and decide what is best for the creditors even if it’s significantly less than CK was offering and doesn’t meet the EFL minimum payment to avoid a points deduction.
I’ve said on here before that I think CK was paying over the odds given the level of value that is currently left in the club, so the remaining parties may well be reluctant to meet the currently agreed price…..
