We're not 'dancing to their tune'. They are a minor factor in these negotiations because their claims are clearly unlikely to succeed in a civil law court. They are chancing their arm whilst we are resolving issues under administration...otherwise why didnt they make their claim whilst Morris was in charge or post sale? Derby going under wouldnt help them in anyway, they're just parasites trying to getting a free feed.
The biggest issues are getting credible potential buyers, coming to an agreement with HMRC & agreeing in principle the sale of PP. From Jim's notes, looks like substanial progress been made with all.
Can't be confident on timing but am confident we will end the season under stable ownership.

Anyone who thinks you'd get full and honest answers from the Administrators in a live Facebook meeting is risibly deluded. They have no idea of how sensitive some of the negotiations are. The sense of entitlement I'm getting from some fans is staggering. The Administrators have no duty to engage with the fans whatsoever, other than in their position as minor individual unsecured creditors. We can argue about which supporters groups are valid or appropriate, but provided they're all being treated equally, I have no issue with how this is being done. 

Three bids on the table despite the position with HMRC. One of the bids involves Gadsby - like him or loathe him won’t let club go to the wall. Yet seen comments that we’re miles away from a takeover and it looks like liquidation. Honestly some people - get a grip! There is nothing in Jim’s post that Indicates they won’t name a preferred bidder next week and if things were so negative then why would they tell the whole squad and staff what’s happening as Rooney confirmed the other day?! Previous comms has just been with Rooney. 
 
Honestly think people just see what they want to see rather than take what is said. 

I can help with the wording . . .
 “No, duck off you leeches”

Ah yes those singing Sharp songs etc would add a lot to proceedings. And only a few are putting pressure/stress on those invited. I appreciate the time those invited voluntarily give to the groups they represent to get credible info amongst all the social media garbage swirling around.  As many have posted over the last couple of days this is a complicated and probably finely balanced commercial deal, not a reality show. Dont get why people feel they would get detailed updates on a confidential process. Any transactions we are involved in at work are so careful and secretive and they are nothing compared to this. 

Matchday 22 – Saturday 18th December 1971 & the visit of Everton to the BBG
Everton started the day in a surprisingly lowly 15th spot given they’d won the League two years previously & still had quality like Alan Ball, Howard Kendall, Joe Royle & Henry Newton in their ranks. Derby had won 2-0 at Goodison in September though & Alan Hinton's brace meant history was to repeat itself in the return fixture. Match report below;


 
Front page of the Ram highlighted the recent poor away form & asked whether that was going to mean Derby slipping out of Championship contention;

 
Derby’s victory moved them back into 3rd place, above Leeds who could only draw 1-1 away at lowly Palace. Man Utd also dropped a point in a 0-0 draw away at Ipswich to see their advantage over the Rams cut to 5 points;

We're OK to share this - full minutes on Monday now.. 
* There are 3 interested bidders that Quantuma are still negotiating with. Each bid is complicated and each is taking time for Quantuma to fully evaluate based on different elements in them.
* Negotiations with HMRC have been extremely positive, but no deal is ever agreed with HMRC until the final proposal is on the table.
* There are verbal agreements with Mel Morris and MSD Capital with regard to the ground.
* Discussions with regard to transfers and contract extensions are being had, but no decisions will be made until the preferred bidder is announced to allow them to make their own decisions.

I never once felt personally privileged, and I know for sure @Boycie never, in fact they became that much of a pain in the arse to the point he wouldn't even go and I had to make a 6 hour round trip.
Having to deal with comments like this just grinds you down and why I quit, what's the point, why bother?
These are fans giving up their free time to provide a communication link between club and fans, all they get is crap for it. 
Being called out for alienating other fans, claimed they are frightened to talk, just shows a real lack of understanding and appreciation for what these groups do for us all.
If it wasn't for them it's unlikely any information would come out other than through the media. You can't expect the club to open the floor to the entire fanbase to ask questions that are then answered on the website, even if they did it would take a lot longer than the 48hrs you're already unwilling to wait for.

Honestly, can't argue with that.

Precisely this and the probable main reason for some threads being regurgitated is that it's not possible for either party to provide a compelling, decisive, factual argument so the debate goes on and on and on......
My largest gripe is that when someone does bother to quote some factual based information such as statistical data but it then it quickly gets poo pooed with the hackneyed quotes about being able to be interpreted as to how you like, it's not valid to compare x with y and so on because the facts don't marry up with their personal agenda. 

Yeah.....truth.....where's the fun in that?
You're both right.....a forum is, well a forum, for people to voice their opinion. Nevertheless, following @angieram's point, I feel that a lot of posts are rehashes of what's already been said or proven to be incorrect. That can make threads tiresome to read.
I guess everyone likes to shout out and get their point heard. I am probably repeating what has gone before, so I'd better shutup now.

1992 was when football was ruined, to much money.

I still haven't got over it..

He earns about 10% of the club's overall wage bill. Based on contribution to the team on the pitch so far this season, I'd say he's putting in his fair share

Clough said that Mackay never got sufficient credit. Mackay also brought in Rioch, Lee and Thomas.

Signed the season after we were champions. Debut in the Charity Shield game v west ham

He only won one with us of course, but I'm sure you know that given your user name!

Brian Clough still is the greatest manager Derby County ever had his team won 2 titles at the highest level, no other Derby manager comes close, stats are a waste of time, winning titles is the name of the game.
Derby's major mistake letting him go.
