Too soon.
There are potential buyers if only the Administrators would answer the phone.

The football creditors must receive 100% to avoid the 15 point penalty. Presumably the majority of what's left will go to HMRC, then the other creditors.
Not forgetting Quantuma's fees of course.
I think Mel is foregoing anything.

I'm hoping for a decent Appleby/Morgan bid to come in soon... really don't like the way Mike Ashley does his business.

Just details the letter to Q really.

My favourite thing about Ashley's teams statement is where it says "It is not our clients intention to comment upon any press reports at this stage", in a statement that has clearly been leaked to the press to report upon.

More!

Missed this:
For non-tweeters:

Second class post I presume. And as they are both still interested why write to them to ask “ Are you still interested “? They should be meeting with both today to get it f**** sorted.

I haven’t said anything negative against the administrators since they took over mainly because I don’t know enough on the subject or the details involved. I am getting to be very concerned as to why there are reports surfacing that the likes of Ashley had a deal to buy Derby in December that didn’t happen and there was a deal for AA to do the same in January to be followed by CK being given the PB status for so long, I know details are sparse but we very easily could have survived in the championship if those deals had gone through and not been forced to lose all those youngsters who were our future going forward. I really do want some factual answers and maybe some credit needs to be given to Ashley and AA for not going away whilst CK had all the opportunity to seal the deal yet what made him the best bid in Qs eyes? 

There's only a few honest people left in football...these 2 are a fine example of honesty.

 

Sorry about the lateness in replying
All I can say is what I was told, That Steve Morgan was going to be the new owner yesterday, It would now appear that there is so many fingers in one pie that those who have access to a platform on twitter employed by Sky or Radio Derby, Run a story in the DET have in my belief different agendas and are being fed a story that would in the circumstances appear to be what they believe.
I believe my friend, He believed his friend, Nowt more I can add

No, The impression I got was 5pm Friday, I've no time at all for the EFL, But Q have been leading the show, We blame MM for where we were, I blame Q for where we're At!, They're convinced the money is there as they've said they've seen it, Trouble is accessing this Loot, If money is cleared on Monday then CK will lead the pack, But there's some baggage to negotiate ie us the supporter, We don't like to be messed about, Kept in the dark and fed on BS, Our suspicions concerning CK are now on here for all to read, If he comes through with the money which Q are hoping there will still be questions thrown at him for the mess this is. 

Good Morning all, I hope you all slept well.
I spoke to my friend last night at 11-30pm, A little about my friend, He knows several ex DCFC directors, Had/Has business dealings with them and is an extremely good golfer and has a very good business, Yesterday at golf(no not with CK)he was with one ex DCFC director, This director fed him the information I gave and he said and I quote "I expect Steve Morgan to be the new owner come 5pm this evening".
Now this is where the fun starts, Q knew Monday afternoon there was an issue with the money but sat on it, They were blinded by CKs credentials and patter, Dawes breaks some news concerning wages being paid by someone at DCFC and not CK, The person who gave him this info was a senior DCFC player who was promised certain things, The player I do not know his name.
Q after Dawes revelations went into panic mode, My friend and Q knew of the wages not being paid to CKs employers on Wednesday, Some ex DCFC directors don't seem to be that impressed with CK, They think he's a braggart a little loud but likes to be liked, On a personnel note my friend thinks a little jealousy has crept in with how CK made his money...ie got lucky.
Q now have a mountain to climb, According to Dorset, Percy, Nixon, Dawes and anyone else who's reported the story they seem to be batting for their PB/Owner, Whether it be Morgan, Appleby, Ashley or even Kirchner who knows?‍♀️, Q and the EFL are at odds with each other and have been for several months, It looks like the EFL are trying to put all the blame on Q as the paperwork they saw for the fit and proper owner came from Q.
My friend said he stands by on what he was told yesterday, Most of us will have someone in our group that like to bluster and maybe give out a little BS, My friend is not one of those types, He's a genuine person who I'd stand up for and is not afraid to stand up for his mates.
Chins up all....Alf
 
 
 

Thank you 
 

Does anyone remember when being a football fan was fun? Just looking forward to every Saturday and the odd Tuesday/Wednesday? Points were earned on the pitch and not taken away by some Bamford. 
 
The time when people who worked for the club knew they’d get paid, that they could pay their mortgage/rent, knew they could feed their kids.
The time that it wasn’t downright embarrassing being a Derby County fan, not having your mates rip you a new one about how an absolute shambles we have become? 
 
The times you just knew your children had a team to support when they were older…
They were good times, money has destroyed football and the people who make the money are absolute scum. 
 
I’d wish the worst of fates on the EFL, Quantuma, Mel Morris, Chris Kirchner, they’ve all collectively put us in the position we are in today. 
 
Take me back to the late 90’s when being a football supporter was actually joyful. 

For any inter-bank transfer there is a 16 digit TRN code. The TRN code is a unique reference number used to identify individual payment or securities settlement instructions and the recipient can quite easily request it from the issuing bank. It beggars belief that Quantuma would not have requested the code in order to verify that funds have actually been transferred.
If they have and have and their bank has confirmed that the TRN is valid, likewise the value of the transfer, then there's the reason Quantuma have provided deadline extensions.  Not because I doubt CK's word. I don't know him well enough to do so. But simply because to fail to do so once the transfer is delayed indicates a total and utter dereliction of their duties as highly paid administrators.
To avoid landing the forum owner in deep doodoo, I'll refrain from saying what I really think, but I would hope that when the dust settles on this, which I believe it will quite soon, the IPC needs to have a bloody good look at Quantuma and whether or not their handling of this administration has in any way met the standards expected of a professional insolvency practitioner. Think I'd best leave it there other than to say that I really hope folk are not getting too upset tonight and that anyone who is feeling particularly troubled should probably take the weekend off trawling the forum and other socials as it seems unlikely that there will be further meaningful movement before Monday, if then.

We've expressed concerns about Quantuma for some time. Those concerns are now appearing ever more credible.
This is really disturbing. We seem powerless to do anything about it.
Many remind us their chief role is to get the best deal for the creditors. Failing to find a buyer for the club is failing to fulfill that mandate. So, surely, the financial authorities should examine their performance over this.

What TF is going on here?

If reports are to be believed, they’re not fit for purpose. Parasites.
