Turnstile

I think Wayne has behaved admirably and been treated appallingly. As far as I'm concerned, although I would like him to stay, he can leave with his head held high. I believe that if we could have kept the squad we had at the start of the season we would have survived but with a depleted squad it really is an enormous challenge now.

Not many managers leave clubs on good terms. 
If unfortunately Wayne does leave, he will leave as a hero. Maybe not due to performing a miracle, but for his loyalty and his leadership through a time where thing could not get any worse. Captains of a sinking ship should always be the last to leave. He has been our captain to the best of his ability and he has gained our respect for the rest of his managerial career. 

WTAF!!!
He looks like one of the duckin Tweenies ??‍♂️??

Yep - he genuinely thought that putting the club into administration was yet another "clever trick" he could pull to get himself out of the club on a break-even keel. Instead it's proven to be yet another gamble of his that hasn't paid off. He needs to just suck it up like every other business that fails. Sadly people like him don't ever see why they should have to face financial ruin because of their own stupidity. 
 
 

Bottom line is Mel wants MSD repaid - be that £20m or £22m or even a bit more - from this administration process.
Ashley, nor any other serious businessperson imo, is going to pay large bucks for the club without taking full stadium ownership. So if Morris sells to the Council I think Ashley and others will walk away from the table (not that Ashley is overly close to the table at the minute). No matter what all the twisting and turning of this thread, the problem is Morris. He should personally settle the debts with MSD, and agree to hand ‘our stadium’ back, foc, as part of the sale. The Administrators can then actually complete their job which is to get the best recovery possible for the creditors, and to make sure who they select through the process, has the wherewithal to run the club after it comes out of administration. In short, cough up and duck off Morris.
 

I actually hate Morris at this moment in time!!! how anyone defends him is beyond me I'm afraid
 
What an absolute shambles he has left behind for others to try and clear up

It’s become quite apparent that Mel or Pearce are pulling Quantumas strings. 
  
Saw somebody tweet Nixon that the admins have basically gambled on them finding a better deal than the one they had in Dec/Jan and of course it’s backfired. Unless this is all Mel’s grand plan to leave himself as the only credible bidder. 
 
Either way can’t help think that Q have had a shocker, regardless of how hard it’s been.

Who the hell are they talking to then and why are they ignoring Ashley? Mel would rather us liquidate than sell to Mike Ashley? 

Probably talking to whoever Mel tells them to.

He's fit as a butchers dog, ask @Mostyn6, who noted his muscular physique bulging against his clothing. 
You make it sound like he's on his last legs. 
As for the manager's, you know full well he sacked McClaren twice.
He certainly didn't put any obstacles in Rowetts way when Stoke made their move, either. He couldn't believe his luck, and probably bundled him into the car and drove him to Stoke himself.
The reality is, he got sick of losing cash hand over fist, not unreasonably, and placed us into administration to stem his losses. 
He had one job, and one job only as custodian, and that was to leave the club in no worse state than he found it.
He failed miserably in that, due to his ego, impatience and a bloody minded-ness that wouldn't accept a correction was needed. 
 

My take on this never ending saga= 1. Mel put us in administration. 2. Mel picks the administration company. 3. Mel did'nt like Kirchner's bid. 4. Mel thought the Binnie brothers bid was crap. 5. A few weeks ago, the administrators were going to announce Ashley is the preferred bid but Mel's not happy with the amount of money on the table.
Tell me I'm wrong somebody (Mel's still pulling the strings)

In my opinion the major problem we've had is that Wayne and his threadbare squad were just too bloody good in the first half of the season. If we'd been rubbish, the -21 would have almost guaranteed relegation by Xmas and EFL/Boro may have taken their knee off our necks in time for a PB in January which would have enabled us to possibly sign players and renew contracts.
From a PB perspective, if they'd bought/got moving in Jan they would have probably been looking at a championship club.......and if we'd been rubbish they'd have been pretty much buying a L1 club but with the prospect of a decent squad.
As it is, we've still got a sniff of staying up and they can't let that happen - minus 12 has always guaranteed relegation in the past so minus 21 MUST guarantee relegation.
Once that's confirmed I think they'll leave us alone but in a terrible state.
Paradoxically, totally over-achieving this season may lead to several seasons of pain and even liquidation.

Got to work this morning at 6 to usual football chat with my work mates...one of my West Ham mates said " I think its outrageous that MM can leave the club in loads of debt yet hold the keys to PP!! " In the cold light of day he's absolutely right!!
I really think him having any involvement in what happens to us, our ground,  our future is quite scandalous ...even though he racked up millions in debt he walked away yet still holds major cards regarding our future!!! couldn't make it up.....should never be able to sell a football stadium to seperate it from its club it should never be able to happen?

When one player is asking for 500k a week which annually equates to the offers being made for the acquisition of our entire football club then you know things are just rotten to the core. 

It's been clear for a very long time these potential new owners (if they indeed exist) have zero interest or passion for Derby County football club..they are out to get a sale through for a bare minimum price.
It appears they do not care one jot whether all of our playing assets walk away for nothing, nor if we end up on -15 next season.
Doesn't fill me with any enthusiasm that they will be decent guardians of our club.
Mel Morris has everything to answer for. He has gone down in our history as the worst owner we have ever had by a country mile. An absolute odious human being at every level, enjoy your hundreds of millions you are a disgrace.

Expecting a very poisonous atmosphere today. Hopefully MM gets the full force.
He is the problem. We have been duped.

Sorry Curtains, but the situation is not serious.  Serious is sitting in a bunker in Ukraine, with no food, power or water, and hearing shells overhead. 
Our situation is frustrating, perhaps annoying, but nothing much more. Very worst case we will be able to follow the Rams in a lower division. Nothing to get too depressed about really either, especially as we might starting winning and scoring again regularly.

I dont think any player is worth £500.000 a week no matter who he plays for. Thats the reason football is in a mess.

Can't help but feel Quantuma bigged up how much of an obstacle to selling the club Boro's claim represented.
I've certainly not been "pleasantly surprised" by the speed of progress since it was removed.

Revisited my opening post of two months ago - never was Gibson, never was EFL - always was Morris as we knew all along. 
 
Sadly still no one is listening. 50 years of dedicated support being tossed away.

Simply ALL Morris’s fault 100%.Claims to be a supporter /lover of the club but put us into this debacle.It has all taken so long because he is trying to get the best deal for himself not dcfc or the creditors.When Bolton were in a similar mess Phil Davies  who had lost £166 million paid all the local Bolton creditors out of his own pocket.He said he couldn’t live with the shame of destroying local people’s lives.A far cry from Mr Morris who should hang his head in shame.
