If the deal is dependant on repayment of a holding loan over a few years, these blokes aren't heavy investors by the sound of it. I would suggest if our current chairman is not willing to take the hit and fund that loan himself it probably isn't a cut and dried takeover with cash up front. We may not be missing out on much.

We may not be missing out on much, but we'd be left in a situation where our owner has rolled all of his dice, is actively looking to sell up & (perfectly understandably) won't / doesn't want to throw much more money away on us. It could be worse (far worse) but it's far from ideal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostyn6 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 If it doesn’t happen, meh. Maybe Mel will focus on demanding more from the coaching staff instead of investing to paper over the cracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turk Thrust Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Is our Sheikh the same Hamad bin Khalifa who has just bought a 50% stake in an Israeli club Beitar Jerusalem? He is investing £69m over the next 10 years.Strangely the club is well known for being openly racist to Arabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The members of the Consortium sit in a line in time of announcement order. If the Fan does not guess exactly how many weeks, he has lost. As an extra part to the game, he has to eat 52 mince pies ('points') in 46 minutes ('matches') to avoid relegation. Relegation means he has to sit outside for the rest of Christmas Day evening in the cold, with no friends. (Outside is called 'League One'). If any of the Consortium feel sorry for him as he sits in the cold, they can shout 'Allardyce!' and he can come back into the warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frowned upon! Sitting in a line... Breach of social distancing regulations! Finger food... Jesus Bloody Christ! Shouting... discouraged, at the very least. If this is Christmas in your house, then you should hang your head in shame! It's families like yours... something, something... bloody disgrace... etc... may as well go on a shooting spree... something, something... super spreader... etc...

CornwallRam Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Look on the bright side. If this takeover falls through we know that someone else is interested. This time next week we could have Fawaz as our owner and Billy as our manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbles Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 It's on course to be completed before Christmas. Don't worry. - This is a very complicated takeover, with all the outstanding loans and Mel's creative accounting making it a lot more complicated. No information has been released due to both parties signing NDA's. BZG don't want a repeat of the failed Newcastle takeover, where all the information was publicized, so all information is being kept private. Hold ups will most likely be the loans that Mel took out. But for now it hasn't collapsed. And I highly doubt it will. BZG were hugely disappointed and embarrassed when the Newcastle takeover fell through. Their intentions are genuine, and I can guarantee their plans for the future of Derby County are very exciting. Keep the faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
