Turnstile

Thats how i read it. He is talking about the entire lineup - not just Gordon.
Think people on here need to put their pitch forks down and read the quote again.

Oh Kevin, you are such a tease dragging me back in.
The principal point I was making was duck off Morris wanting £20m. He has had his go, he tried his best, he had some bad luck, but at the end of the day through his total mismanagement and largesse he has left the Club with the very real prospect of Tier 8 football. To want to still take some money from the administration process (as Nixon suggests) in my view is completely out of order. Suck it up Mel. I am pretty sure you remain the wealthiest individual viewing this forum.
To keep the Club going, i.e. to avoid liquidation, the Administrators have to get a deal that keeps HMRC happy (perhaps 50%), sees MSD and football creditors fully repaid, covers 25% of unsecured creditor claims, and also keeps the EFL happy in respect of business planning for the next 2 years under profit and sustainability rules. Oh, and to cover Quantuma’s admin. fees. That I imagine requires a new owner to stump up something in the order of £50m*, with a commitment to cover future running costs, but still having to lease a stadium!   Morris is apparently asking for £20m to make the stadium part of the deal. *l haven’t gone back to the creditors list in truth to do do the maths so £50m is a broad guess on my part.
Morris is in my view still risking the Club’s very future. He would appear (based on Nixon’s comments) to be making a potential owner pay an extra £20m to buy the Club and to obtain the stadium freehold, as frankly I can’t imagine anyone wanting to pay £50m at the moment for a football squad and two leasehold interests (stadium and training ground), when the club most likely will be in League 1 next season. Having the freehold to the stadium makes the deal more attractive obviously, but the extra £20m might be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.
At the moment there does appear some hope that someone might just pay what is required, but I would imagine negotiations are now at a crucial point. The Administrators are under pressure to confirm a preferred bidder who can keep everybody happy, and therefore to avoid a potential fire sale of player assets this month.  There must be an element of brinksmanship from Morris here. He is already seen by many as a Bamford, god knows how he will be seen if he then is seen to stymie any takeover deal to get his hands on £20m - particularly for something that was a Club asset when he bought the Club.
(Just as a by the way, I think If the Club does go into liquidation, because no one might want to pay the figures indicated above, then MSD will then enforce its third party security by appointing a receiver under the fixed charge given by Gellaw, and take possession of the Stadium. How much it will be worth at that point is beyond me, as I cant think the Club (by which I mean any future owner of Derby Newco) will need use of a 33k seater for a good few years. Obviously any sale of the stadium will only go to repay MSD’s debt, not any of the Club’s other creditors. Any surplus I would think would go back to Gellaw under modern day equity of redemption practice.)
 
 
 

I’m no fan of Mel Morris, but why anyone would welcome Sam Rush back is beyond me.
He was partly responsible for breaking up the 2013-14 squad, tripling our wage bill while making us worse.
Oh, and didn’t he financially benefit from it too? 
The name Wasserman sends shivers down my spine. 

Dont mind it being Appleby but really dont want Rush anywhere near the club again.
Appleby would be taking us on almost like the first time - midway through a season with a likely relegation incoming & a huge need for stability as well as the books needing to be sorted.

Sam Rush was the highest paid CEO in the championship, and Mel trusted him and his knowledge and experience in football to run the club, sadley he let him down, buying 8 or 10( could be more) sub standard players on 4 or 5 year contracts on £20,000 a week wages make no mistake Mel made a total mess of the club however Rush was not far behind.
Rush players what have they gone on to achieve since leaving Derby?

I've thought all along that Mel was still capable of caving this whole deal in.  If he does its shows he was never really a Derby fan an this was nothing more than a vanity project.....

This one makes me a very proud Ram every time. Was a young lad at the front with my Dad and his mates not far behind. 

I don’t want Gadsby anywhere near my club again !! 

Any tips on who else it could be ?

I could be player of the season (even with my two left feet), in a season where we won the square root of SFA.
I can't remember Ireland winning much at the time he "starred" for them either?
Football is somewhat like acting and the civil service where awards are given for mediocrity.

Yeah, his display for Blackpool showed what we've missed. ? Thank goodness for Curtis and Jags!

That's got to be some accolade as there's been plenty to choose from 

Player of the year twice……became a full international, either you are right or a lot of Managers and other Rams fans are…..?

Ashamed to be a Derby fan today.
Keogh always gave absolutely everything in a Derby shirt during his seven years with us, player of the year twice, as good as it gets at this level, picked in all of the various Derby teams of the decade. On a personal level, he was fantastic with my two boys when they were mascots and he was captain. But yeah let's boo him for getting injured in an accident which due process has concluded he wasn't at fault for.
His sacking was indefensible. It was always obvious he'd win his appeal. Just another example of Mel doing a Boris and thinking the rules didn't apply to him.  
Embarrassed to be associated with those of you that booed Keogh. Derby fans used to be so much better than this.
 
 
 
 
 

An even game in the first half, But Blackpool brought on Keogh at half time and he was the difference between the two teams.

Good to see the lad's still got a mistake in him. Agent Keogh to the rescue. Once a Ram...

Not going to boo the man, but I'd certainly not applaud him either. He's yesterday's man. 

The section of the fans who always asserted we'd never win anything with Keogh? ?

It's like Christmas come early!!!!!

If I were Mel I wouldn’t be able to look myself in the mirror after what he has done. The destruction of the football club that he oversaw in such a short space of time is absolutely unforgivable. 
He will be remembered as one of the worst owners in the history of British football. 

Inspired by the Wrexham experiment. 

Yes, sorry.  Not the best choice of words on my part.  I couldn't remember the "official term", as set out in those disgraceful rules!
 ??

Surely as we’re a football club there all football related debts.Disgraceful rule.

Here's what you hear from Roos supporters:
Anybody could have made that mistake. 
He was put in a poor situation. 
It's not his fault he has a poor team in front of him.
He's good at distributing the ball.
Yawn  
A good shot stopper like he is, will have all sorts of excuses being given on his behalf because when he makes a good save it looks great. 
But the guy is incompetent on the overall scale. The design may be have been poor, but only because Rooney expected his team/keeper  to do the basics. 
Roos can't do the basics. Get him out. We're going down so let's roll the dice on a compromising youngster because he's an utter waste is space.
