DCFC said negotiations were ongoing and that they would make no further comment. At no point in time have they told us the deal should be wrapped up in a couple of days.

Ken Tram Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I wonder how long the purchase by a UAE Sheik of a 50% stake in an Israeli club took to go through? BBC Article I was thinking that I could look up the first mention in the club's press releases to see how long it took to go through ... and compare it to the timeframes that we have been seeing ... but apparently the purchase was controversial, so perhaps it was not in the news in the initial stages.

The (possibly apocryphal) story goes that a Great War front line commander sent a message back from the trenches “Send reinforcements, going to advance” which reached HQ as “Send three and fourpence, going to a dance”.

Quite possibly they are also in negotiations with 32red The club is still owned by Mel. Unlikely he's closely involved in the discussions with Dell. He will be asking the SHeikh's people where they are getting to and he is probably told 'we're very close'. Hopefully Rooney's agent will be calling anyone who will speak to him asking when it will happen, because he wants WR appointed as permanent manager and he knows that won't happen before t/o. And he will be telling WR everything he knows and more because he needs WR to think he's itk So based on what we're told we shouldn't blame "the club" for the delay or for the uncertainty. As others have said, the real cause for the delay is the web MM has woven in his attempts to keep all the balls in the air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that proves we’re the laughing stock of the nation. Has it occurred to you that they’re only talking about it because they know you’re a Derby fan whereas for most it’s probably not on their radar and never will be to any great extent until/unless it does happen and the money makes a significant difference to our league status?

MackworthRamIsGod Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I think it's interesting the season ticket refunds have started to happen. Not sure if this has any bearing on the takeover, but it seemed to me like this was being held off until the takeover was confirmed. I know I'm probably clutching at straws.

It's a reasonable assumption that something has changed. I really think Derby's future has hung in the balance and that the takeover gives us a stay of execution. Mel has had a lot of criticism and the delay is frustrating but we are talking high stakes here. We have to get it right for the future sustainability of the club.

Absolutely, I hope people who get their knickers in a twist, like me, are just like kids at Christmas, something good is coming but we just want it to happen now. If this extended wait results in a successful takeover, Sheikh Khaled purchasing the stadium, announcing some sort of sponsorship and backing for the manager in Jan, it will all be worth it.

He is loving it. He has got what he wants and is planning to make a really good job of it. Crikey how much must he have learnt from Fergie, Phelan, Kidd and Schteve at United. He laid a marker down by bringing on Macdonald and Whitaker last night. The door is open. He must have learnt from Fergie how to bring young players through. Discipline last night was the key and it proves that the players are responding to Wayne. I for one am excited at who he may bring in at Xmas.
