Agree Reggie, but the point remains, debt free what is DCFC worth? 

I suppose whatever Mel and a prospective owner agree to ? Don’t think you could easily put a figure on that.

So, if we owe Cocu & staff 8m add HMRC 20m add 30m loans total owed 58m. If Mel decided to pay that all off himself so the club had no debt how much is DCFC worth including Pride Park and the training ground? 

No way we owe PC and co 8 mill , thought the loan was 17.5 mill even on the Fail figures ? 
If the stadium has a valuation of 80 mill and the turnover with fans in the ground a very attractive proposition. DCFC have only ever leased the training ground however the mere fact that we have one that a new owner doesn’t have to build again is another plus .

There is probably as much truth in that as there was in his last sentence

As I said believe it or not.

It's a (theoretical) deal. Start readying yourself now for a twenty minute lecture on how the signing of Tom Ince was bad for Derby County ? 

What's that, deal's off?

I can listen to anything if beer is involved ?

That doesn't necessarily mean he has agreed to walk away with a reduced payment,the mutual agreement could be that he agreed to have the outstanding amount remaining on his contract paid over a number of months/years.

Here is the link that says Cocu took a reduced settlement. Believe it or not.

I guess I would have to start watching Mickleover, but I don't know if I could be arsed, even though it's only a 15 minute walk to the ground.

I've already pretty much stopped watching any football that doesn't have some impact on / link to Derby so I expect there's every chance I could stop watching it altogether.

I’ll join you for a pint at Sports @Coconut

If the club folded, what would you do? Stop following football entirely? Become a football fan (no allegiance to one team, but keep watching)? Support another club? 

Would never support another club. Would either watch the reincarnation of the Rams or dip in and out of local clubs like Mickleover Sports and Matlock Town that I have an affinity with. 
Might pop to the odd local game with my mate who follows a couple of clubs. 
I would cancel Sky Sports during the football season as have no interest in other Prem or FL clubs

I thought it was reported at the time he accepted a 60% reduced pay off? Even so, never thought he should have gone in the first place. The fact we allowed a group to make a managerial decision, who at that point had put no money in and now have nothing to do with us, is a farce. I don't believe we would have got relegated, we would then have hit the end of Rooney's contract as well. Now, just a mess.

Yes you do remember well. No percentage but well below the Daily Fail hyperbole

For one thing, Cocu reportedly left by mutual consent and wasnt sacked

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc.com/sport/football/54945552.amp
 

Also interesting to note in the article that the BZI deal was reported to be worth £60mill

It’s also worth noting this new DM article is written by our new favourite north east reporter, so have to presume it’s all a little quiet on Teeside.

No doubt that the North East correspondent and author  of the Daily Fail article is being fed snippets , encouraged by a local embittered owner with an axe to grind

Again a post i agree with 100 percent, and if we are paying Cocu 8 million that is totally beyond barmy, but for the last few years Mel has destroyed a club he supported all his life, hope he can sleep at night, because at the moment i am finding it hard to, i am so worried, that there is still worse to come. Please someone SAVE our Derby County. 

See the tweet I embedded from John Percy. No way we owe PC 8mill 

Thought I had seen this , calling the 8 million as BS as per @Coconut

45 minutes ago, CornwallRam said:

Probably very damning that he was sacked with the agreement of the fake sheikh. I dare say that Mel wasn't expecting to have to pay the compensation himself. 

Pretty sure that the esteemed Percy said that Cocu and co left by mutual consent plus that Cocu being the gentleman he is had waived most of the compensation he was entitled to and took only a negligible sum ?

Difference is that the Glaziers are not very transparent. Panes me to say it, but  who is the frame for us now. 

As long as they are clear with their intentions , might even get to sign Paddy O'Doors.

There is news! Hadn't seen this...

John Percy (@JPercyTelegraph) Tweeted: Derby to scrap negotiations with Erik Alonso over proposed takeover. American consortium now back in the frame and in talks. Quite a dull week for #dcfc really. https://t.co/1gBlmSWInw

 

Only an hour or so late lol

Can anyone remember why the king was called Zak ?

It was just a nick name we used but i never knew why?

After a character in a tv programme apparently but even at 61 I’m too young to remember it . Quick bit of google the character was Zak Bishop , the programme United but might need a more senior Ram to reveal all

Not added to this thread for a long time but had the pleasure today of meeting up with one of the last legends on the list, Mr David Nish round at his house, took the old man along and had a great chat with “Nishy”about the great days of the 70s, no side to him at all, in fact he spoke more about his love of his allotment than football, he still follows the Rams and like the rest of us is sad to see what is happening, he was a great servant to the club joining straight after the first championship season, went on to play for England and was part of that legendary defence with McFarland and Todd, was our highest transfer fee as well at that time, classy defender who always had time on the ball, was also one of the British mafia who took over the NASL, it was great to see my old man reliving those special memories with him !

Quality player oozed class and scored a perfectly legitimate goal in the FA Cup semi final v Manure. Pity no VAR then

What is the price on the cup final ticket?

21 shillings ?  Cant remember what i paid for it bought it about 15 years or so ago. There are quite a few counterfeit ( from the day ) ones about but this is genuine. I did  have 2 but think i recall my eldest son has it now. One for sale on ebay for £135 currently which i think is quite cheap. The programmes seem to go for between £100-£300 depending on condition again a few dodgy ones about. 

Starting to display some of my Rams stuff

You have to be there. .

Maybe your Gran is a sprinter 

Correct Curtains Gary Lineker , John Aldridge and Mickey Quinn made careers and scored a lot of goals by being there .

Quinn was a trainee at Derby binned off by Tommy Doc

Players European Cup itineraries 

I have a 1946 Cup Final programme and ticket stub amongst my memorabilia. Will post a photo when my daughter comes round this weekend( I am a Luddite at techno things ) . Lots of early cigarette cards , a few early photos and a first day post envelope for the Benfica game

He's had 1 wrongful (straight) red card in the first team and two for the U23s for 2nd yellows).

Let him play his game and if it looks like there's a chance he could pick up a 2nd yellow then bring him off. If he accumulates 5/10/15 yellows and misses a few games then its nothing lost anyway. I don't think it's down to discipline, but where the fouls are committed - it doesn't matter too much if it's high up the pitch when applying pressure, but it does matter if they can get a decent ball into the box from it.

Defensive stats per 90
Tackles - only Watson and Lawrence tackle more often out of our attacking players
Dribbled past - less often than Knight, Roberts, Watson (out of our attacking players)
Interceptions - lowest in the squad
Fouls - Highest in the squad (considerably)
Cards - Highest
Clearances - only Jozwiak is lower
Blocks (Shots/crosses/passes) - Only Lawrence and Waghorn are higher (out of our attacking players)

Emi Buendi is a red card waiting to happen most week for Norwich but the carrot crunchers play him every game with him they can ,  look half the side they are without him
