Yes that sums it up from what I can see. The issue will be that without assets Derby are not worth buying in the normal sense. The ground being separated from the club means that Derby County FC only have player values and their Championship status that  “could” be considered assets and as such shrinks the buyer pool to ridiculously rich buyer or entity. Anyone interested in taking over the club will want to buy the ground which would be a separate but associated deal with the stadium grounds owners. 
 
The timeframe is then the issue, unless their is someone or entity that is already in negotiations, it will take either months or not happen at all. Mr M has done what any sane business man would do, spread his risk buy dividing fixed assets from the FC. THUS he will get at least some of his money back for the dirt/stadium. 
 
What bothers me is all the bluff and bluster of the ongoing wrangle with the EFL has now shown what a mess was being covered up with the accounts. The Board of directors of the FC have a lot to answer for as probably do the directors of the stadium, as if you don’t think the administrator won’t be trawling over every detail to see if they can distract money or void the deal you are dreaming.

The obsession with accounts is clear, however the issue is cash! Accounts can be made to say anything, that’s why you have accounting standards, but cash is king. All businesses die not because of anything other than cash flow! What Derby have at bank and what can be raised above that will be the determining factor of the coming weeks and months. 

Might just be all talk again like it was at the end of last season.
Reading the article on the BBC website, it appears to me that his main argument is that we should have gone into administration last season. I don't know how that can be justified when the club were in negotiations for a takeover which would have prevented the need for administration.

A lawyer writes (badly) .... ?

That's what I feared

As a supporter of another club, this is how I see it!
Rotherham’s late equalizer has probably given them a lift for the Tuesday game against Luton (away), who have nothing to play for. Its highly likely they will get something, there....Then its all about the last day!
Sheffield Wednesday look awful. Bannon is a bit of a one man team and they are mistake riddled.
Rotherham if they beat or draw with Luton will throw everything at it on the last day.
I guess its a matter of whether WR can get enough out of them to beat what I see as the divisions worst team currently (outside of Bristol City who are terrible right now but obviously not in the equation) 
Anyway good luck, its going to be a long effing week for Derby fans! Tuesday will be huge! There is upside to a Rotherham win at Luton and that’s it almost certainly relegates Wednesday even if they beat Derby...That will be deflating!
