It’s desperate times when Alan Nixon is seen as the messiah. 

Very disappointing really. Was hoping for more positive news today ?

That’s how I read it. 
Met two bidders - Kitchner (the one out) and Appleby (the one who hadn’t finalised funds).  Binnie not met yet also specified.  No mention of Ashley at all. 

Can’t see any Nixon tweet suggesting Ashley has dropped out - just that Appleby is ahead. The only reference to a cancelled bid is Kirchner unless I’ve missed a tweet

Has Billy Sharpe now entered the race and put a bid in ?

Been watching this for about 10 minutes now

Ironic the final bit of the BBC report showed Waghorn scoring a goal in the FA Cup
Bet Gibson loved that!!!!

The sun came up.
We're all 1 day closer to death.
It's dark again now.
 

I hope all this talk of PB close doesn't turn out to be Rooney leaving and Phil Brown coming back. 

How can a media outlet constantly say absolutely nothing factual 

Uh, the EFL statement had a comment about the 1st Feb deadline. Clown.

I woke up feeling optimistic. I now feel thoroughly depressed again ☹️

Quick question if both claims go to full arbitration and are proven to be false can we go after them for the problems they have caused 

Ignore Maguire. He's a self opinionated stirrer.

Of course they can be challenged. But through proper channels (financial reporting Council and ultimately statute). 
What you cannot do is what the EFL have done, which is to seek to override accounting regulations in order to make things "fit" into rules they do have jurisdiction over. Ie the P&S calcs. 

Unfortunately for you, *if* the EFL decide that overspending requires paying compensation to the teams you displace, then you owe us about £90m I reckon, and if you don’t pay up, you’ll get kicked out of the league.  And rinse and repeat for dozens and dozens of other cases across the league.  Obviously we’re all hoping it doesn’t come down to that, because it would be absolutely insane. But that’s what’s at stake here.

I thought it was that they had met the required standards in that they were "audited" and that audit would confirm among other things that the accounts had been prepared in accordance with frs102. 
Clearly, in common with general lack of understanding, the EFL do not know the purpose of an audit, nor of the room for varying interpretations within the boundaries of frs102. 
Utterly incompetent rule setting. 

Another question to add if you do engage with him.
For the 3 years ended 30 June 2018, the comparative figures for our 2 clubs were as follows:-
Wages
DCFC £108m
Boro   £146m
Net Transfer Spend
DCFC £38m
Boro   £90m
Do you really believe that DCFC gained a competitive advantage over Boro by using a different method of amortisation?

Pretty sure that will have been part of the political pressure. Would be very different if noone wants to buy us but apparently some heroic mad people do. How can you defend that loss to the public purse in the circumstances? Dont think "mr gibson said it wasnt fair" will wash somehow 

I've bit my lip long enough.....
I'm not Interested in MM one bit. He is 100% to blame for all this and clearly doesn't care much for the people of Derby, especially with us being dragged through the mire.
If it were me I would hold up my hands admit I've screwed up and do what I can to put things right before sailing off in to the sunset. If he had no links with Derbyshire you could make excuse for him. The fact he's from Derby makes it downright shameful.
If I had the money I would bail the club out as I know what the club means to the people of Derby. It absolutely breaks me that I could have taken my Grandson to PP for the last time and it is all down to MM

There are enough disgruntled fans out there from numerous other clubs to raise the notion the EFL isn't fit for purpose, us, Birmingham, Bolton, Wigan, Bury, Macclesfield. 
If a coordinated effort was made to bring fans together and get everyone banging the same drum the cause would soon gain momentum. Look at what we achieved in a few days last week.

Nice one, @HuddersRam
