I’m not sure how much he’s invested but you’d have to take off £80 million for the stadium, surely? Ask Steve Gibson to work it out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue the playing squad has less value now than it did then too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellafella Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/edge-glory-brink-administration-liverpools-16900099.amp Unless I’m mistaken, the advice from Liverpool is that this guy couldn’t organise a party in a fans’ park and would rack up £Ms in loans to fund the failure. Cant see Mel shaking hands with a chap with that record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeedsCityRam Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Gillett & Hicks were absolutely despised & ultimately driven out of Liverpool. They tried to fund the club takeover by saddling it with debt using the club as security, undermined Benitez who was in charge at the time & then fell out with each other. Basically they tried to copy the Glazer model at Man Utd - purely aimed at extracting massive sums of cash out of the club but significantly less competent. I hope the later rebuttals on this thread are right - any association with Gillett would be a disaster for Derby County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFD1968 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 If Gillett wants to buy a club, please can someone point him away from Pride Park, and up the M1 to Bury, where they'd appreciate anyone over the current owner... We don't need Gillett trying to do with us what they tried to do at Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Isn’t this chap the actual son of the real decision makers when at Liverpool - so maybe just maybe he might be a much better decision maker ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC Ram Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 and no doubt 'Derby seek to deny rumours that they have received a substantial bid from an un-named overseas for out of favour striker Chris Martin. A source close to the club said ' There has been no interest in Chris Martin who is in the final year of his contact.'' I overheard a man in a pub say that it has the feel of a 'come and get it' fishing expedition that starts by hooking in the media Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could be our very own version of “fridgey” armed with dads pocket money. Since he’s a yank I guess we’d have to affectionately refer to him as “ice-boxy”? ?

I’d trust Nicho over anyone at the Daily Mail. There’s nothing in this. Mark my words. And in the highly unlikely event it happens, I won’t be going whilst those skanks are on the board.

I agree with @Raich Van Carter You could be right, but it sure isn't Steve Nicholson's MO to dismiss something without knowing. He's usually Mr Cautious.

Ellafella Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Foster Gillet esq. {below}. Mel has had plenty of interest in the past; he is very meticulous about who he allows in and of course he had his fingers burned in the past so doubt we’ll be saying “awesome! welcome aboard!” anytime soon.
