I didn’t listen but I have read the comments here my two questions are

Who owns Pride Park stadium?

who owns Moor Farm trading academy? 
 

could someone tell me please? 

Re: PP they said 'landlord' - MM?

Re: Moor Farm they said 'leased' - but from whom?

I’d only agree in part……

Is it the EFL who have not paid the HMRC? 
Is it the EFL who have not paid Keogh?

Is it the EFL who have not paid agreed transfer fees? 
Is it the EFL who have not paid Delaware? 
Is it the EFL who didn’t pay wages in January?

If the answer is no, then who is responsible for the answer to that question is why we find ourselves knee deep in embargo’s, not only for the accounts submission. 

Not taking this seriously due to mis-use of apostrophe.

He blocked me for pointing that out to him one time, I think in similar circumstances on the eve of their big Derby match.

He blocked me for pointing out similar yesterday. Despite his reasonably good reputation, he's not always right. Derby have made him look a right mug once or twice in the last year, intentionally? Probably not. The best journalism I've seen lately has come from Matt Slater of The Athletic. I think Percy probably had a good source in the club a few years back, now, not so much.

The more 'educated' among us know that administration is not on the table. 

...sorry if that sounds bitchy. It's not intended to. There's just so much inane drivel being posted left, right and centre.

Not that I expect anyone to know this for sure, but do the more educated among us think that season tickets being available means we're not going into administration? Whether this is via Mel committing and proving he will fund us until a takeover, or a takeover is actually very close? I read somewhere that the reason we couldn't offer season tickets had something to do with creditors refusing to back a season ticket scheme in case we went bankrupt, or something... (can you tell I'm not an accountant?)

The more 'educated' among us know that administration is not on the table.

I’ve no idea what this means but it’s apparently connected to today’s delay 

 

 

So, he's looked at CH and found MM as a director. He's set up alerts (anyone can do this) to email him any time there is a change/new filing received. That's as far as his knowledge and understanding goes. Is the information valid? Yes. Does it necessarily tell us anything? No. 

So a week today is deadline for resubmission of accounts. For all we know, they might have been resubmitted already. That gives us a week and a bit to potentially make some signings? What if the new numbers are extremely grim and we have indeed breached - does that mean we stay under embargo?

I quite like watching Al Jazeera news , you tend to get less hysterics and bias than you get on BBC or Sky News (Just saying that seems wrong but there  you go)  and they do have some good/objective news documentary series so I will make sure I watch this

Sky News: "Warning, the following may contain flash photography"

Al Jazeera: Man has head removed with large blade. As you were.

Comfortable 2-0 win for the Rams. Goals from Lawrence and Jozwiak.

That's been there since 2019 though, however, they did remove the Ram from the video and replaced with the SV logo.

Oh look, another cryptic message that will get backed up with no information whatsoever.

What do you actually gain from doing this?

Sorry, it wasn't actually meant to be cryptic as such. Yes, Andy E very busy digging without ever joining the loops. I believe there's two parts to the sale - ground and club. How they then tie back up is anyone's guess at the moment. I think we'll see a different ownership model and I think it will be a huge improvement as there will no longer be a single ego/point of failure/bottleneck. I think the news on the ground will materialise first. The tick-tock was more of a p*ssing hurry up!

Personally, I HATE HMRC. 

21 minutes ago, Woodley Ram said:

It cannot be the stamp duty on the ground as that would be owed by Mel (the buyer) and not DCFC (the seller). I have no idea the amount owed, but (and I think @Spanishsaid this) it cannot be in the tens of millions. If you take 20% as an average guideline (company tax) then we are talking a maximum of 4-5 Million and I doubt if its anything like that. 

Also is this likely (and I am not ITK) to be an amount that due to Covid etc that we are paying to the HMRC in instalments agreed by them but seen as a breach by the EFL, similar to the company accounts?    

Yeah, agreed. I doubt it is anything like 4-5 million also, mainly because your CT is based on taxable profits for Corporation Tax include the money your company or association makes from:

doing business (‘trading profits’)

investments

selling assets for more than they cost (‘chargeable gains’)

If your company is based in the UK, it pays Corporation Tax on all its profits from the UK and abroad.

- What we don't know is how that 81m was layered on top of p and l. 

If you book an 81m profit for the sale of ground/land, surely there's the question of a) stamp duty (buying party) and b) corporation tax (profit for selling party). I'm more than likely missing something here as it's not a case of 19% of 81m because that profit would be in the bucket with everything else and offset against the wider losses. Nobody has a scooby do they? 

He actually blocked me for stating that his assumptions and suppositions were tenuous at best. I think he does have the right idea in terms of Horton buying the ground, but I also think there's a lot more to it than that. There's an arrogance to the bloke, his cryptic nonsense points to him being deluded, drinking his own kool-aid, whilst living in his Mum's cellar at age 47.

I think the conspiracy to make andy off twitter look a berk runs far deeper than we previously thought.

I think he genuinely is a bit of a berk to be fair.

Big fan of the blue and a very clean kit. Would love to go back to the embroidered logos though.

Massively agree. Have a look at Hull's 'black-out' kit. All embroidered - looks class. I think embroidery can command a higher price. I think £50 is a bit of a pisstaké, but that's the times we live in I guess.

No chance of administration, Mel is the only one who can put the club into admin and it would not help him recover his cash, he is a preferential creditor as are MSD holdings who have a lien on everything according to documents at companies house.
