From what I’ve heard Nixon is right in that the money still hasn’t landed. Appleby is next in line, still not interested in talking to MA but not for the want of trying from MA, the £28m is what he put on the table in Jan, he also said he’d raise it if outbid. Can only assume his proposal isn’t good for creditors.

So looks like a race between CK and Appleby. Not normally ITK and so much info flying around just sharing what I’ve heard. It’s also v interesting who Appleby’s backer is if my source is correct. 
 

Who is Appleby's backer?

Those prices seem very steep for a club that’s just been relegated to League One. 

I would’ve thought they would’ve done more to get fans in the ground, those prices (along with other price increases elsewhere and other ongoing issues) will probably dampen interest for season tickets with more people choosing to ‘go when they can’ which trust me is never as often as you think. 

I agree. I would expected adult season tickets to start from the 350 mark for an adult.

I suppose the main thing is that we have a club to support right now though.

He could help himself by telling everyone what is going off takes 2mins to send a tweet and then carrying on. Enjoying day of golf.

Well said B4.

It's like flipping a coin. Heads = CK will take over the club very soon, tail = liquidation.

He must have an amazing teleport machine if he can instantaneously travel from a golf tournament in England to Dubai.

Probably explains why he's skint.

I am wrong about where the golf is, I apologise. My point is that he has had all day to come out with a statement but has chosen to be quiet. That for me is concerning.

Isnt he in the UK? That’s where the golf is wasn’t it ?

Apologies. I thought it was in Dubai for some reason. Shows how much I know about golf.

He’s closer than that, he’s in London.

I didn't realise that sorry. He might as well be in Nottingham ??

CK is in Dubai, he's had all day to comment and he has chosen to stay silent. It says it all for me.

Time for a fans fund raiser, to keep the club afloat to the season?

I don't get the love for Mike Ashley

I don't think Quantuma have covered themselves in glory, but it's a reasonable question to ask here:

If MA's bid was the best for the club, why was he not the preferred bidder ?

The obvious answer is that his bid was no good

I've said all along that he's a vulture waiting to pick the bones off our corpse

Yes - MA buying the club is better than the club being liquidated, but I still think it will be a(nother) disaster if he takes over

Well said. Mike Ashley has had a chance and he didn't want to put the money we all know he has on the table.

I hope Appleby manages to srcamble together a deal and over the line.

I think the disrespect being given to CK is diabolical.

If he does pull out of buying Derby it will be all this that causes it .

Bloke on RD now slagging him off 

He didn't give us fans much respect in either his interview or his silence. 

Is it time for crowd funding to avoid liquidation? MA is far from our saviour, he’s had his chance to out together a deal and he hasn't pulled his finger out.

Appleby with an element of crowd funding to get a deal over the line?

CK might as well as told Dan to do one. Dire times.

That Dan Roan attempt to get an encouraging message has convinced me there is nothing encouraging to say. ‘It’ll come out soon’ means the story will break and it’s not going to be pretty 

I get the same message

I am so sorry guys

It is all my fault now sigh

Please please somebody save us

It's not your fault B4. You have done nothing but support the club. We need fans with your passion:)

So what is plan B now?

Appleby? Ashley? something needs to happen asap

To be fair to most posters, I don't think they are trolling or trying to wind people up but more venting their frustrations. Afterall is we can't vent to fellow fans who will listen to our concerns and frustrations?

What’s a tweet got to do with owt? Is a carrier pigeon bringing the cheques across?

The pigeon will be arriving in 24-48 hours.

Will the only club in Derby be in Mickleover next season?

Learning patience can be a difficult experience, but once conquered, you will find life is easier.

 

You can be as patient as you want but life won't be easy without our club if it is liquidated....

Surley if it was going to happen it would have happened by now? we have to move on from the deal if it's not happening. How quickly could Ashley or Appleby act to put package together and over the line?

I am starting to increasingly worry it's not going to happen. It doesn't take a week to transfer money regarding of bank holidays.

Don't worry, everything is sorted, and we're waiting for CK to fly over here

for the day of press conferences, Rams tv news and interviews , open day at PP

new player and resigned players thoughts etc..

with a big interview with CK & WR about the future, and where we are heading, 

namely onward and upwards - It's just a case of which day is it.

2/3 days of celebrations take quite a time to plan!

 

If it doesn't happen in the next couple of days I don't think it will happen at all.

Pretty much what there were getting in the Championship excluding their playoff season.

I don't think our attendance will change much as we have a loyal fan base, we never dip much below the 21,000 regards.

I think the attendances will naturally be up down but we will average around the 21-23,000 mark. Some games I'd expect 25,000 plus
