By the way, can we finally put nixon to sleep on this forum. 

the guy knows absolutely nothing, please stop giving him the attention he is desperate for 

this is good news.

thank god that utter timewaster is out the way.

we should have known from the beginning when he had no logical reason for wanting to buy the stadium. he wasted everybodies time and i am sure plenty of peoples money like the clowes 

came across as a sulking teenager.

I’ve not read all the comments on this thread, but is anyone concerned about the possible loss of Rosenior? And who would replace him?

No

we could have ronald mcdonald in the dugout with snow white and the seven dwarfs playing next season, as long as we have a club to go and watch

for me being competitive next season is way down the prioritiy list 

i didn't even realise we were expecting kirchners money to arrive today.

even if i had known about it, i still wouldnt have expected it to arrive.

because it's never arriving.

What do you believe Nixon has got wrong and how has he backtracked?

you could make a list every morning. he has been saying the ck deal is getting done tomorrow for about a month now.

Any bad deal for creditors will be left last minute, for as long as nobody has exclusivity anything could happen at any point. 

i do feel like this will drag on until the very last deadline that is set because nobody wants to take a haircut. hopefully we dont actually miss that one.

Who else to believe?

true, just feels like nixon has a horse in the race and is gunning for CK to get the club so will say whatever we want to hear to get us on side.

its hard to know how to take this news because nobody has any idea how much he actually did behind the scenes

people are still believing a word that nixon says then? After all that he gets wrong, then adapts his story towards what actually happens

It’s reassuring that you are acting as a personal guarantor for MA, now I can go and enjoy my day.

we all have our opinions and preferences. my preference is ashley, no consipracies involved.

i am tired of the dilly dallying of all parties. we need to be serious about the long term future of the club as liquidation could be weeks away. if mike ashley gets exclusivity we will not go into administration, he will end up putting the money up. somebody is going to lose out whatever happens, in the ashley scenario its not derby county.

MA interests will relate to MA only and not DCFC or the people and businesses the club owes money to.

you are right. but that is the case for all parties.

but MA is a safe pair of hands, and if he does well out of DCFC it means the club has done well which means we all win. if he takes over i can guarentee 100% we will not be in this same situation in 24 months time. with kirchner you cannot guarentee that because of his unreliability.

ashley is no angel but he is our best option by a country mile. there are no money concerns with him and he will get us in a strong position financially, it's exactly what we are desperate for.

Do you not read the daily updates.

have i missed something, it's genuinely so hard to keep track you have to spend 10 hours a day just keeping up to date

Just now, AndyinLiverpool said:

Does he have your number? Perhaps he could call you personally.

he doesnt appear to have anybodies number

mike ashley is the only long term option, we need to stop chasing results and short term goals. players and managers will come and go.

we want the owner that will put us in the best position long term and thats ashley. 

we own the stadium, pay less to the creditors (even if it means -15, the CLUB is saving money) and he is showing with this process that hes not going to waste a penny of the clubs money. that is what we need whether people realise it or not. 

I certainly hope Kirchners "funds" dont clear. he should not be in the running.

throughout this process he is not only shown he is incompetent but also a complete coward. his silence has really rubbed me up the wrong way, if you seriously intend to still own the club - he should be saying so. you think people will just forget if it gets over the line?

ashley is letting the press do his talking, ck is communicating to nobody and appears like a sulking teenager. not old enough, not wise enough, not wealthy enough. should be moved on, but he wont be because he offers the best deal for the creditor and thats Q job.

He has been wrong at numerous times throughout the process, he’s also been right. 
People don’t have much to go on.

hes probably been right because he says so much. i am sure most of us have been right with our theories throughout.

he is a bag of hot air, doesn't deserve to be on this thread so much.

it is crazy to me that kirchner is still even in the running. I do not want that many running this club, it will not end well. he has shown himself not only to be incompetent, but his silence is the worst part about it. 

if his funds really were being processed (i dont buy it) then say it, instead of getting the hump and not saying anything. i wouldn't mind if he didn't say anything in the first place, but was happy to have people lick his bum and when it goes bad he disappears. his ownership will be like that. i cant believe Q are still allowing him to be a bidder.

i am also sick of reading statements, most of them don't even say anything they are just blowing their own trumpets.

get on with the f****** job.

I am sick to death of seeing alan nixons tweets in this thread. hes become the most frequent poster

The guy is clueless and has been continuiously wrong throughout this process, hes spent the last day backtracking and changing his story to suit the facts yet people still claim he is reliable

why are people even giving him the attention he so desperately craves and makes people pay for now by the way.

sick of him, sick of the admins, sick of mel morris, sick of everyone involved in this shambles.

There isn’t a conspiracy, just a number of mistakes that have been costly. Far too many, but this is a general thing this year not just Derby 

i have been watching football for 40+ years and i have never seen it so bad as the current crop of referees yet they have the best technology avalible. the whole system needs reform

MM's support??? .....yes thats done us a lot of good.     MM's support should not be needed!!!! he walked away ...no responsibilty !! yet holds cards still .....Morris chose to walk away and put us into admin ....his own mess but chose to walk away...yet here he is still holding valuable important cards like the stadium because he wants 20m for it or so we believe...take your rose tinted glasses off Mel and chuck the ground in as part of club ....you walked away yet still influence our future ...a future you put into jeopardy ...who would buy a house but the back garden is owned by someone else...I find your efforts to stick up for yoursef Mel ( if it is you!)as pitiful and I've often wondered if you are a WUM I'm really not interested in your support of Morris ....he's put this club into severe danger and bailed out because he lost 200m ...so what? we were better off being run by the yanks and thats a fact.....

get your head out of your backside and stop making Morris out to be hard done by.....his fault 100 per cent ....lets hear your love for morris if this club folds!!

it is shocking that people have a single favourable thing to say about the man. he should never be allowed to show his face in this county again after what he has done

it is pure stockholm syndrome

No one is what mel has done is wrong but he came back to deal with steve gibson and I think someone spoke to home truths but I do think mel should clear msd loans and hmrc people even pay admin out of his pocket maybe that why he want 20m for pp. But yes I think it is wrong to expect to buy stadium on it's own.

oh come on please do me a favour. you are saying that like he is on our side

FACT

if mel wanted to resolve any of the stadium, hmrc or msd problems, it would have been solved by now. the only one he solved was the one that would potentially cost HIM money

Do we think everything hinges on staying in the champioship? Might aswell start as a phoenix club if we get relegated with - 15points or is it not as simple as that? I think this is the reason for the delay. Just waiting to see if we stay up. Why would you spend 30million plus on league 1 club with 6 contracted players and any decent academy players already poached for peanuts. Wouldn't make sense

Q shouldnt have put the club in a position where the league we are in is relevant

any amount we cost in this league will be the same as us being in league one had we sold assets and not taken loans out to see the season. we have borrowed the same amount PLUS INTEREST that the tv revenues would be.

the biggest failure of Q has been they have not made the club cheaper to buy, in doing so it is highly unlikely we will find a buyer

a disaster scenario is we go down and still have all those loans we took out to pay

Are the administrators the ones we should really be kicking? I noticed in the statement released by the Binnies that they were more than willing to buy the club for less than what it would cost to avoid a -15 point deduction next season. Are we really sure that's not currently what they're working against, people wanting to buy the club happy to take the -15 point deduction, and they're buying time trying to avoid that situation. 

I mean, what sort of atmosphere would there be around the club towards a new owner if they happily took a -15 point deduction next season to save a few £ against paying creditors.

Without knowing the ins and outs, but reading the tea leaves, there is a narrative that the administrators are trying to avoid further penalties going forward which obviously impacts fans. I would've thought anyone coming in to buy the club would obviously want to avoid that anyway, but seemingly not. 

i appreciate your positivity but i think the truth is closer to they would be delighted if the club will be here next season with a 15 point penalty 

if it was the case that there was more money on the table then they would have announced a pf , we like to think that its ashley and appleby fighting it out to be pf but is it really the truth? or has nobody offered the amount needed so we are back to square one

of course it would have all been made easier if Q acted like most admins do and made the club cheaper to buy. are we more expensive than the first month they took over? i am 90% sure that we are

as long as the club survive i dont care what happens, we could be in league two next season for all i care i just want a club to go and watch
