Turnstile

By getting more points than everyone else

Another 3 million Forest fatality doing the rounds.  They had Butterfield as well.  Do they hunt the local ads for crap players

Foster and Allen?

The walking embodiment of the Mel Morris era!

He'll get the game time this season. I just hope he's not as easy to wind up and stop getting so many bookings etc.

Nrothing appearing on it.

They stumbled on a true Derby fan with money and clout. Bet they couldn't believe their luck, saved their 'reputation' for sure!

As long as it’s not pronounced ‘Morris’ 

Almost

I'm going to assume the best and hope to see Clowes complete the takeover today or tomorrow.
If that proves to be correct, it's amazing how uncomplicated it suddenly seems to have become. As soon as someone appears with the will and the finances, the deal breezes through. No bank holiday issues, no complaints in the press about being ignored by Quantuma, nothing held up by anti-money laundering checks etc 
It's almost like the others were cheapskates or fantasists. 

I think it has a lot to do with him and his agents very close relationship to Kirchner, personally.

Was destined for the exit door as soon as his (and his agents) choice of owner was dead in the water.

I think they wanted us to be relegated, to make an example of us but to be honest I don't think they wanted us liquidated

Igor. Unknown to me at least. I remember leaving Prenton Park after that 5-1 drubbing feeling on top of the world as it was crystal clear we'd go places with him running the show.
For the minute........or once we're given the green light to recruit / re-sign........ I'd put my trust in whoever cobbled together Freebie Utd last year. Whether it was WR or someone else, they did a cracking job in the circumstances.

Don't turn on the players now. There is one man who is responsible for all this. Direct your anger and frustration at him.

I can't blame the players for wanting out.
Promise after promise, deadline after deadline. No players, no plan. The stench of decay around the place must be overwhelming.
And with the accounting equivalent of Stan and Ollie running the club, where's stability? If it's anywhere, it's a long way over the horizon.

No that lies at only one person's door!

Being at Elland road for the 2nd leg was amazing . Even Mel was on the pitch jumping around. But Mason Mount - what a player. Our best in the last 10 years . His finishing was like that of Jimmy Greaves. He would give the goalies a little smile as he rolled it in the net.

Sounds like the only thing he's done is ask for some calls with the anonymous bidder's solicitors, that haven't yet been acknowledged. 
That's it. It's shambolic. 

So much fault connected with all of this:
Obviously Mel for how he ran the club; Steve Gibson pursuing his personal vendetta to have us liquidated; The EFL, firstly for pursuing the club without cause (except to keep Gibson off their back and because of their own vendetta, likely due to their ongoing battles with Morris) when they should simply have accepted we'd found a financial alternative they didn't like and closed it for future seasons, and secondly for acquiescing to Gibson's pursuit of the club making a pre-February sale impossible; But then there's Quantuma. Everything about Trevor Birch's formal response tells me the administrators are incompetent and out of their depth and, unless something dramatic happens, their incompetence will see us thrown out of the league. This is clearly very serious and it really doesn't look as if the people at Quantuma have the necessary skills to bring things to a satisfactory conclusion.

So your main issue is with Ashley potentially screwing the creditors, but you don’t mind if other buyers do the same? Appleby or Morgan (or whoever) won’t be dishing out more money than they absolutely need to - and don’t forget that CK was only basing his bid on the minimum needed to avoid a points deduction, not because he felt particularly benevolent towards the creditors.
Seems you just don’t want Ashley - but it’s probably better to just state that rather than make out his approach to buying us will be any different to anyone else - as far as his practices as a club owner, we’re a completely different proposition to Newcastle - no-one (possibly not even Ashley himself) knows how he will look to run the Rams…..

Of course he will - and I honestly expect any buyer to do similar. It’s a strange concept that the new owner should be liable for the debts incurred by the old owner.
Morris overspent yet gets to watch the new owner pick up a big chunk of the tab. Not entirely sure how he can sleep at night having screwed over so many people/organisations and potentially destroyed the club he claimed to love…..

It's not Ashley's fault that the businesses are owed money - that blame lies with Morris......

Be careful what you wish for ??

Thanks goodness these bids are all confidential.
