You are a very clever debater

Now I know you aren’t serious.

The EFL’s relationship with its member clubs is like the RSPCA being involved in fox hunting, and if they can’t get it with hounds, they’ll go back for another go with a 12 bore.

I think he meant double figures points deduction- I've seen that bouncing around Twitter, but not from anyone that I'd call credible. 

Must be Rod Liddle then ? He had a vitriolic rant at all things Derby in the Sunday Times.

How can Nixon know anything about potential points deduction, before the original panel have reconvened and discussed the facts ?

Two buyers in talks ?

Starting point would be harder but may end up there. More due diligence required esp on £60m debt. There's 20+17.5+8+2.3=47.8 itemised and a balancing figure 12.2. However, there's season tickets and other tickets paid for in advance but value not yet received to bring into play, that potentially puts the real debt higher. Need to know more about that via projections for 21/22, 22/23, etc.

But there could be a good deal to be had.

 

 

How much of the debt is monies owing to Mel ?

No. £60m debt, I pay off £30m, MM pays off £30m. I pay MM £1 for DC + PP. Value my shares in DC + PP at £30m, no debts. I own 100% of DC + PP. Rent training ground as has always been the case I believe.

Get on with it then mate ?

Yes, yes, I know it's past Limerick Day, and there was a thread for that - but you need this one, too:

 

There was a strange man called Alonso

Went after a club that he wants so

But a silly false address

Caused his state of undress

And now his name is just a Ho-Ho! 

 

 

 

 

Are we going for the Guinness world record for due diligence attempts.???

I think Laurel and Hardy would have been brilliant as our new owners. They’d have brought a sense of normality to the football club. 

Matt Clarke has just scored from a corner.

Good shout for an incoming bid. He obviously owns the prison he is currently housed in though Mel.

He's a nuts out on the table, win-at-all-cost billionaire who hired Tom Glick to a very senior role with the Carolina Panthers. He's worth $12bn. He's got a very good reputation in the US - a good guy by all accounts.

Dream takeover.

He’s a charmer. Through my career, I’ve known him to tell outright lies. The one that stuck with me most was taking him a sandwich and cuppa in Stuart Webb’s office then three hours later on live Radio declaring he’d not seen or spoken to Webb for at least 18 months after Webb accused of shady dealings on the board at Wilmorton College in 1994

Sad to hear that. From my perspective he was brilliant to me and my two boys. Invited to a game, sat in directors box with the full works. Found him to be good company .

Why can’t I? Bought the club without using his own money, put future debt on the club, as a guarantor though. Helped spaff all the parachute money in advance. Made promises of “taking the Premier League by a force” (sic), and “we are not there to make up the numbers”, before funding the likes of Eddie Lewis and Andy Griffin. Stood outside Pride Park to announce signing of Myka Varynen, again, didn’t happen. As soon as he could offload the club, with all its future money tied up, he was off. 
 

I will keep my comments on his involvement with Lionel Pickering ending up broke to myself. 

Otherwise you quite like him ??

Another opportunistic chancer can do one. He had his chance to put money into a PREMIER League Derby County, but decided to cash in instead! 

A bit harsh mate, you can’t group him with the two individuals Mel has been negotiating with recently. I’d definitely have him back as part of a consortium. It’s a matter of opinions though.
