Since liquidation seems almost inevitable where does a phoenix club stand financially regarding football debts and the tax bill ?.

And I thought that`s what this forum was for? To share opinions, information and debate them.

Wheras it appears that if you share facts and information that people don`t like then you get abuse and derision!

I can`t change the information and facts that are out there, I`m just bringing it to attention so that maybe we can all get a better understanding of what "might" be going on behind closed doors. Because let`s be honest, we aren`t being told much, and in truth I think I`m less guilty of repetition than Quantuma!

I`m just amazed considering the situation they have left that article live............or is there a reason for that?

Now that`s me being sceptical, but let`s just say I have a very uncomfortable feeling about that situation and until anyone can show me something that counters it in a positive way it ain`t going away.

I’m not abusing you , just pointing out that basically you are repeating the same post multiple times that has been discussed on here many times previously 
You have your opinion great , but it doesn’t make it more right (or wrong) however many times you say it.

I agree with that, but I actually think no one is bidding, or will ultimately pay any significant value for "The Club". It will be the proverbial £1 sale.

I think the bids and Quantuma efforts are all focused on a figure that clears the EFL and Legal Requirements for the debt and no more.

Common knowledge and reported by Q and news outlets at least 3 groups have put bids in

You may well be right. I am just reading what I can find and interpreting it as best I can.

It`s this bit that concerns me, taken directly from Quantuma`s own article titled: "Is rescuing Football Clubs a thing of the past?"

Changes to status of HMRC tax debt

With effect from 1 December 2020, HMRC will receive preferential status for all tax debt. This means these debts get paid ahead of other unsecured debts as well as some secured debts and crucially, as a preferential debt, it cannot be compromised. As a result, clubs will need to pay HMRC in full.

Now I appreciate a number of members of this forum have had a go at me over this, and some think I have a hidden agenda which I can assure you I have not. I am just reading and gathering factual information and trying to put the pieces together and that piece of information concerns me more than anything else I have found.

It however doesn`t state debts have to be paid in full to exit administration, so my assumption is a new owner can agree a payment plan over an agreed period. But reading that my understanding is that the Tax Bill will have to be settled in full at some point.
 

And keep repeating ad infinitum. We all know your opinion 15 times over.

Well, we can all speculate as much as we like, but unfortunately none of us know.

I just can't see past the rule change and HMRC having a very high profile opportunity to use it to draw a very deep line in the sand.

No need to keep repeating the same thing every other post then eh.

Brilliant to watch and remember it well...also forgot what a player Gerry Daly was ....so underrated 

Fantastic  at home , tended to disappear away. One of my favs in that time though

You clearly haven't love.

Regardless, are you only allowed the opinion that Rooney is a fantastic manager? Having a difference of opinion doesn't mean you're negative. I want us to do well and if you had bothered to read my other posts, you'd have seen not 15 mins ago I said I can see us taking survival to the last day, so that's hardly doom and gloom is it?

@OptimisticRam is there any chance you can give this new poster a few useful pointers.

Don't understand this if they left at half time they would have only been 1-0  down?

I read it  that they left at HT but when the photo was taken outside the ground it was by then 2-0

We only need to be level on points with Reading with our GD. That must worry them

Would've been interesting to see where he'd've been squeezed into the side.

Probably would have interchanged with Gladys and King Kev to keep them fit. We actually dodged a bullet though as he was a crock

I think this is a key point lost on some who's vitriol towards the EFL has lent itself to tin foil hat levels of conspiracy-thinking.

 

Q have been diabolical at communicating.  To see some defend them and claim it's because of some weird way of not letting news filter to the media via the EFL is infuriating, when you hear Rooney talk about constantly being kept in the dark, same with other staff.  

 

Having to loan money, therefore increasing the debt to see the season out is just madness.  They have gambled the future of the club on staying up.  Lunacy.  I still think some would rather they continue to do that.  I accepted relegation a long time ago, you have to think about what football and supporting your football club means to you, and Championship football isn't the crux of what it means to me.  They could have reduced costs greatly by moving on out of contract players, saving big numbers on salary and returning fees, however modest, meaning less money needing to be borrowed and being closer to evidence funding to the end of the season.  Those out of contract players are going to walk away anyway and L1 will still occur.  

 

Instead, they refused to sell them, pissed off the EFL and other member clubs, now refuse to engage in dialogue with the EFL, don't update the man who's brought some pride to the club over the past month and pick up a huge, ever increasing, pay packet all while long.

 

Q are mugging this club and its fans off, and some seem to lap it up as some genuine way of giving everyone the V.  It's not.  

 

Shambles. 

As OB said yesterday most bids for the players were derisory and with no money up front so would have had minimal impact on he debt. The exception was the Palace bid for Plange for which we got £1 mill upfront i understand. Absolutely no point in selling players on that basis , as for peeing off other clubs so what ?? The other points hard to disagree with.

Do we DCFC (Rooney) have any say on who stays and who is sold or are we completely in the hands of the administrators 

I suppose that depends if Rooney is in the know with the Kitchener bid and how that is progressing and is confident a deal will be done ? 

Stolen from the tinternet

Shouldn’t the Mel stuff be in his fan club thread not this one ?

What sale?

 

Derby County fans need to wake up, brace for liquidation and resurrect the club themselves from the ashes. All else is noise.

Mickey Arthur’s first signing...

Left handed opening bat, played for him with Pakistan. Signed for all formats. 4 test centuries to his name, 3 of those centuries came in consecutive innings against 3 different team's England, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

As long as he doesn’t catch the Derbyshire disease and turn to ? like so many others this could be a great signing and hopefully galvanise the batting line up and like @sage  says could get interest from the local Pakistani community which would be good.

It’s written in my tea leaves this morning that we are going to win the FA Cup this season, and therefore we will have a place in the Europa League next season.  Our run starts tonight being drawn away to Brighton (l’m going - proper fan me). Come on, who’s with me on our journey to a Wembley Way?

For those who want to see the rudimentary Starship on the test stand, this is SN8 being readied for its 15km flight. It's the first of the prototypes to have the nosecone and flaps fitted. Above it we see the Moon, where as I said some adapted Starships may go, but above that we see Mars, the real target.

Starship itself stands 50m tall (9m diameter) with Super Heavy an additional 70m, so when they're mated together for flights into Earth orbit, it will be the tallest rocket ever built, but more importantly will have much bigger carrying capacity than anything that's gone before.

Nothing new here had one like that when I was a kid ?

Because you seem to be implying there is no interest in our players and other clubs aren’t circling 

The article quotes FLW which is not a great source. However I would be surprised if there wasn’t any interest. Wayne was still saying that he would have a say in who stays and leaves the other day.
Suppose we might all know more by the end of the week if the preferred bidder gets announced or not .
