Also - @derbycountyblog just tweeted that his latest follower (today) is Henry Gabay. It would be a weird waste of time to follow a prominent DCFC blogger if the deal was dead eh?

Josh Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I think we should have a sweepstake for when the investment will be announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G STAR RAM Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 On 09/01/2020 at 16:48, CornwallRam said: I'm not sure that Ryan Conway would be privy to any real information. We know that cash flow was tight last month. Most people with a financial relationship with the club will now be watching carefully. Any more dodgy financial information and the club will find its lines of credit squeezed, whether that's banks, suppliers or contractors. The few people who know anything will be being careful to paint a rosy picture. If all is well, Conway will have been told that the investment is still on track. If it has fallen through, he will have been told that that it's still on track. If the latter is the case, I reckon the first we'll hear is Mel announcing it, whilst also telling everyone that he's putting more cash in to stabilise things. Do we? How do we know this?

I assume you must have missed that there wasn't enough cash to pay the player's wages last month. Mel said himself that he had to write a cheque to cover the wages.

Not that strange, not seen it said anywhere by anyone that it was to do with cash flow. Only seen it being related to the investment not being forthcoming. MM has been writing the cheques to cover the wages for a few years now. I'd say it is more strange that you have assumed that lines of credit are going to be squeezed based on wages being paid 1 day late! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Ram Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 More likely the delay was because it was expected monies would be paid out of one of the new companies set up for ownership. When the deal didn’t happen it was too late to alter the payments set up due to New Year bank holiday. Incredible how people suddenly think Mel is short of a shilling....

If we pay the players late again there is no "oh it was a bank holiday" excuse to fall back on this time and alarm bells will start ringing. It will be even more "interesting" if they don't get paid at the end of Feb, March and April too! Might even be some redundancies in the club shop/ticket office/some offices somewhere? ...or... we could just wait to see what happens, instead of trying to see into the future, even though our balls aren't made of crystal!

MackworthRamIsGod Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I'd heard all was well and Gabay and his representatives went to Moor Farm to sign the last bit of paperwork over breakfast only to be offered a fry up containing no sausages. The deal hit the walls there and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
