Before the pandemic - he made no secret of the fact he was trying to sell the club. He couldn't get any serious parties interested in the deal that he wanted. In other words a good deal for MM was a bad deal for the buyer
Then the pandemic hit and he realised he stood even less chance of selling, so he put us in administration because he thought that would make for a more attractive deal for buyers. He was wrong
The only attractive deal left for any buyer is to pick up the pieces of a liquidation 
It's one man's fault
 

On the long drive home post match with @South east ram today, after discussing the current situation ad infinitum as standard, he came up with the following theory that made me even more depressed.
What if liquidation has actually been decided on and we are just playing out the end of the season to finish it off to its natural conclusion and bring in the most money for the creditors? With no stadium, huge outstanding debts, almost certain relegation, a -15 points deduction to start next season with in L1 with a squad of 5 players, no-one is going to pay over the odds for this.
The remaining players we have who can be released are being sold, such as Plange and Festy. The club plays the remaining games of this season to bring in match day income that can eventually go to the creditors. And that is it. 
There will be the usual statements to say they tried hard to sell the club but with all the complicating factors it could not attract bids that would satisfy the various creditors, and we will be left shell shocked wondering how it all came to this.
I desperately hope he is wrong, but unless Mel decides to gift the stadium or personally settle the debts, or a buyer pays these off and spends a lot more buying Derby than they could get another Championship club for, I do fear that perhaps we are already in the end game without realising it.
 

When did I say that?

So for the sake of a few million, these shrewd bidders are allowing our most saleable asset to swan out the door for fook all. What an absolute bunch of plums. Ego-maniacal dick-swingers, picking over the carcass of our club to prove they're the Alpha's who always get what they want, even if their methodologies are to their own financial detriment as well as that of the club. Couldn't make this poo up.
Beginning to think that the cause of the Geordies hatred of Ashley was not their own self-entitlement after all, but rather the fact that he is indeed an absolute bell. As for Morris, what a grubby little man he turned out to be. He's broken every promise he ever made and destroyed a founder member simply to feed his egotistical ****-bank. Even the academy, the one lasting positive legacy from his tenure is now being systematically stripped of its jewels. I wonder how it feels to be the most hated man in football. Best stay out of Derby Morris, as if you are stupid enough to revisit the club you claimed to love, it's certain to get real ugly, real quick.

In the previous 1073 pages this may have been covered, but why don't the administrators simply give a final deadline for bidders (a sort of sealed bids scenario) and then take the highest, name them as the preferred bidder and proceed with the sale?

Look forward to Q trying to sue 30,000 people. At the pace they work it’ll be our great great grandkids that get the sentence.

Your thoughts about bringing footballers in to a serial killer debate?

Not sure to be fair.....

Funny how you picked a killer that killed women?

I think we should go back to posting pictures of old buildings

Well, Jack the Ripper loved the Hammers...
