MA is playing the waiting game he is clever and switched on for sure,he can see were the CK deal is going and the money is there to save us from liquidation,this needs sorting either way as we wont have a team to even put on the field at this rate
Never been sure that CK as the funds going forward yes he is rich in commodities but not cash rich according to wikki he only as a net value personally of 5.6m which is the complete opposite to MA

I know absolutely nothing other than delay after delay is harmful to the wellbeing of the club and everyone else 

Question for the Forum. Shouldn’t these financial checks, have been completed way before the completion date and Q would have insisted on that. CK could have then parked the money in a UK account ready for transfer on the said date, or am I being too simplistic?

What possible reason would Ashley have to own a club in League 1 or 2? Wouldn't it be in his interest, if he wanted to use us for advertising Sports Direct etc, to have us in the Champ or Prem? Ashley already made a bid months ago so isn't waiting until the last moment
For all we know, he could be the only one with the literal funds to buy the club

You may be right about Ashley he is a very successful business man and will not pay over the odds for anything,we may not have a choice if this story is correct,We were left to believe CK had completed the takeover and he would pay the players this month,well that as not happened
Ashley as the cash to proceed and was even prepared to do a joint venture with Kirchner if im not mistaken,if the deal does fold its Ashley or liquidation take your pick
 

All indeed true but if its correct Bielek is on £20-30 grand a week we may have no alternative but to loan him out on full wages paid to allow WR some wiggle room on bringing players in,The average wage last season for a top league one player was just shy of £5 grand so do we keep him or look at decent tried and trusted hard working seen it done it type of players

Congratulations to Nigel Clough for getting Mansfield to Wembley. He is still respected by many Rams fans for the team he built us on a tiny budget. If they win it - They could easily bring 5,000 to PP next season. Hope they do it.

I think you should temper your expectations.
It will take a good few years to rebuild the club unfortunately.
It does look brighter than it did, but time to be realistic. Promotions are NOT easy.
Our infrastructure and club have been decimated.
We will be restricted on what we can spend on player transfers and what wages we can offer. 
We will have the basis of a brand new squad, which need time to adjust and gel.
This will not be easy.

Either way you look at this both of them should be embarrassed with themselves and should never have got to a court case,wasting precious court time and god knows how much money they have both wasted in the mean time

If this drags on another week you can say goodbye to more than just Davies,these players like anyone are potentially openly looking for employment right now and you cannot blame any of the squad who jump ship
If its true CK as no funds to buy Pride Park as well as the takeover then sorry there is going to be no money to offer players contracts and build a new squad
This is looking very much like a -15 point point deduction and MA saving us from liquidation at the last minute 

They won’t need to

100 points - don't be ridiculous 
80 points - over-optimistic 
60 points - realistic if Rooney gets the opportunity to re-sign current players and add to squad. 
40 points - what we're looking at if the takeover isn't completed by the end of May. 

The deal needs to get sorted ASAP otherwise Rooney may well get fed up and be off. Who could blame him?

Have to agree WR would be gone if Everton came calling certainly if they do end up relegated,Now our fate as been settled he would have nothing to stay for and turning down a interview before makes him very much respectedful in my eyes to Derby players and all the staff

Whoever we keep or who decides to move on its critical we try and find a 20 goal plus centre forward as its the only way i can see us getting anywhere near promotion nest season,for the last two seasons maybe even longer we create very little from open play and are one of the lowest scoring teams also

Quite correct there is no problem in offering players an official pre contract to run from 1st July we will then see how many players are serious about staying,players who Wayne wants to keep are contracted until the 30th June anyway so lets get the takeover done and dusted so we can move forward

Its going to be a total rebuild for sure,Lawrence will be off and i cant see beilik wanting to drop down a division again although we still owe Arsenal a fee for him
Jags i think may come back and Ravel might fancy another season with Rooney,as for the rest its a guessing game  and how much will Rooney be given to spend, but more likely we will be looking at loans and freebies

So we are now at the end of March having reached the same stage we were at the beginning of January minus a lot of talented players, having gained more debt whilst the administrators have doubled their money whilst we have hardly any players to put on a football pitch, is that everything ?

Finally, well explained, if we look like staying up the value of the club increases by around 50%.
Lets not forget Southampton was sold with £100M worth of debt taken on by the new owners who still paid £100m for the club...

The first points you make are indeed correct the debt is the debt whichever league we end up in
However potential buyers are not going to stump up the same price for a team in a league lower,revenue is greatly reduced in TV and match day earnings,our crowds will fall to around 18-20K only likely to rise if we do get anywhere close to the top and pushing for promotion,away support will be low also apart from a few bigger clubs
If we had clarity which division we were going to play in next season i think a price and deal would of been made by now,but we are hanging on by a thread to the Championship and if we do survive the price will be higher

Surprised we got that to be fair cant remember a 90 minutes were i thought we had bought a decent player,not a patch on Johnny Russell or Tom Ince
