Ken Tram Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I feel for Mel and the club, for having taken it as true that the funds had been "remitted" (sent to the lawyers), and was en route, but which had not yet arrived with the lawyers - and putting out a statement to that effect. Besides, what would Mel want £60m for anyway? Don't they say that there is more reward in giving than receiving? (I'm not sure if anyone actually says that, but if they do ...) Think of how much more pleasure Mel would derive from gifting is all a couple of players in the transfer window, compared with the alternative of simply receiving £60m!

They assume because they don't personally know the only possible explanation must be that the deal has fallen through. Some people just like to believe what they want to believe I suppose. Can only go off information and evidence provided, either this is the longest buyout in history of it ain't happening,previous from shirk ,lack of movement points towards a collapse in take over. Either way doesn't look good Mel wants out and can't sell it shirk incapable of organising a buyout which if eventually goes through doesn't put him in a positive lite of being very proficient.

DCFC1388 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Im not sure what is going on, I doubt anyone on here really knows either. I think from Rooney's comments both the club and the Sheikh thought it was pretty much done but then reports came out that the hold up was with Dell. Not sure how much blame can be laid at the club, Rooney or Sheikh's door for that. Based off the statement mid December I think again both the club and Sheikh thought it would be done in the following 10 days (before Christmas), obviously this didnt happen, for what reason nobody knows. However, based on the letter sent to the players again both the club and Sheikh clearly thought it would be done before new year. The main thing from the letter is that the money has been remitted so is the confirmation to everyone it has been sent. So now is the time we will know if its the real deal or not. Whether the club announce it straight away or not remains to be seen. As long as internally everyone knows its done, is there any major rush to announce it? Not like its going to impact the fans turning up for a game or not. I do think though that if it had fell through the likes of the Daily Mail would be creaming themselves at running the story. So after all that, my opinion is the deal is still on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconram Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Just reading that Burnleys new owner has borrowed money from Michael Dell. Is it the loan from Dell earlier this year what's caused a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The buyer at Burnley has borrowed an awful lot of money from Dell - in fact the price paid is also very high for a club that without its current manager would probably be relegated and returned to its proper place in the football pyramid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes as i said its all guesswork on your part and you are all just assuming its collapsed just because you havent heard anything. Plenty of takeovers have taken as long or longer than this.

Papahet Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Where’s Morris hiding any road ? Normally there’s not a week that goes by without him popping up on Talksport having a rant about something or other.

The thing I find puzzling are the doom merchants that seem to be trying to out do each other in converting the rest of us to accept that it has collapsed like some kind of door step evangelists instead of looking on with sad amusement at us for still holding out some hope. Maybe they're jostling for position in the "I told you so" battle. For me, I hope it still goes through but have ever increasing doubts. I'm not sure it going through IS a good thing. These prospective new owners haven't exactly shown themselves quick at closing the deal, and have apparently not remitted money in agreed time for wages to be paid. Doesn't smack of professionalism. Plus I am confused as to their interest in Derby. I would actually rather this fall through and we wait for a better investor. If that means we have to keep playing kids and getting in cheap deals for a while until finances sorted, so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
