G STAR RAM Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 On 20/04/2019 at 14:50, BuckTaylor64 said: Wishful thinking? Garbage? OK then show me the queue to buy our club? Morris has clearly stated that he wants his money back! Would be willing for payback over a period of time! He's in cuckoo land if he thinks he's getting it all back. Now go take a look at all companies attached to Derby and add up all of the debt! Can you please post a link to any articles where MM has clearly stated that he 'wants his money back'? I've genuinely never heard him say this or even as much as hint at it. In terms of a queue for buying the club, MM stated that various parties had shown a recent interest and talks were ongoing, this would seem to be backed up by a few recent news articles. Not sure about the debt in all of the clubs attached to Derby County, very hard to tell at the moment given that the new holding company and the stadium company have yet to file accounts. I'd certainly imagine it's going to be a large number but the only really relevant figures are those shown in the club accounts and, off the top of my head, external debt in these amounts to £3m. 5 minutes ago, BuckTaylor64 said: Hopefully we will get away with it, but any future purchases will have to be funded by sales! People may laugh at the moment, but anyone who thinks this club is in a good position financially is seriously deluded and in for a massive shock. Years of wasteful spending is coming back to bite us! We will need Frank to pull off some quality loans again next season should we not go up! I don't think anyone is under any illusion about the finances of the club. Having to sell our ground obviously shows that all is not well but I believe that was done more for FFP purposes than because of us being in financial trouble. If the wage bill savings alluded to by MM come to fruition over the next 2 seasons I think we will be in a reasonably good financial position. Selling a homegrown player every season, whilst not ideal, is probably the only model that will make any club self sufficient in this division.

ram59 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 My bluenose mates are moaning about how we've avoided ffp punishment. I then ask them how they've been punished, 'we've lost 9 points' they say. I then point out what a cosy arrangement that was, did it stop then getting in the play offs or relegate them? No, it was just enough for a slap on the wrist. It should have been enough to put them in serious danger of relegation or 9 points at the start of next season which would have blunted their ambitions.

Living in Birmingham you'd think they'd have better things to worry about. Only city I can think of where you can pay a fiver to circumnavigate the dump at 100 MPH plus. Says it all really.

We already have to fund our purchases by selling our best players. We've had to sell the likes of Ince, Hughes and Vydra just so the next manager on the merry go round could actually make changes to the squad. I suspect Bogle will be the next to go to fund new players for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JfR Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Sounds like we've been given the all clear on the FFP front if the postings on Twitter are anything to go by, though I'd still like to see a better source on that than a half dozen Derby fans on the #DCFCFans hashtag telling Gibson to do one.
