derby8 reacted to WestKentRam in Steve Gibson trying to liquidate Derby
Looking this up it does appear to have similarities, especially with the amount Sheffield United claimed against West Ham.
https://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/uk-sport/19289469.day-2007-west-ham-accept-fine-tevez-mascherano-deal/
"West Ham and Sheffield United eventually reached an out-of-court settlement to end their dispute in March 2009.
The Blades initially valued their claim at £45million but the actual figure agreed was reported to be around £20million, with payments spread over a five-year period."

29 games to go, 18 points behind 21st, that's 6 wins behind, we could pace ourselves and do it, but a tall order. Club will want to show fight to avoid 29 dead rubbers...

derby8 reacted to angieram in I despise Children In Need
On Children in Need and philanthropy, giving.
There are many people who are distrustful of or embarrassed by accepting state aid, who can be reached by charitable organisations. I have worked with many organisations who have used CIN monies to make a real and lasting difference in people's lives. Some of these are people who have been failed by statutory services, whose approach wasn't right for them.
CIN administration and grantgiving is a lot more straightforward and recipient friendly than some other major funders (The National Lottery is a nightmare and has created a bureaucratic gravy train for a host of people, for example). By comparison, CIN is straightforward, flexible and user friendly.
There are many, many people who have given to charitable causes over hundreds of years. Schools, hospitals and most things we now take for granted as being state provided were not always there. Charitable organisations often pave the way for future state provision.
People who give feel good about giving and this is evidenced as one of the five ways to wellbeing.
Many people who raise money for CIN may not give in more traditional ways, but give because of the entertainment value, the celebrity they associate with, the chance to be on tele! This doesn't make it a bad thing, just a different thing.
Because celebrities use the available tax systems of the day to maximise their income, doesn't mean they aren't using or donating the monies they save for good. They may think they better know how to use it than the government! ?
There are many, many television channels and if you don't like CIN don't watch the BBC.

I'm a never say never kind of person
PS: Yeah, I know we'll in all probability go down, in fact are likely down already bar an official "R"....but one can dream. Imagine the faces at EFL HQ and in Gibson Towers if we stayed up.

derby8 got a reaction from Miggins in Derby finally accept 21 point deduction.
Looks as if finance will dominate team issues for some time to come, suggest new owner includes a lay person's financial update in the programme from time to time.

derby8 reacted to Rampage in Derby County Administration (with the slight possibility of Liquidation still there)
Mike knows a bargain when he sees one. He would probably spend enough to get us in the Premier League, then enough to just keep us in it. I would take that right now.
