Maybe they HAVE put a consortium in place and part of the money is coming from somewhere else. That might explain timing issues. But does not rule out other problems - eg has the co-investor changed its mind about the deal? And then there's the Wigan scenario... Administrators gave exclusivity to the Spanish who 3 weeks later dropped the price by 50% after contracts had been agreed. Leaves the administrators with no other options - perhaps the Spanish will still be the buyers? OK we're not in administration, but MM is under pressure. He has a team in the relegation zone, an oversized wages bill, the EFL on his heels, a manager who wants a contract, and a transfer window where we need to do business. If BZG wanted to play hardball, they would see a big opportunity for deal creep. Hope that's not it. Not giving up yet tho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC27 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 At least we can all rest easy know this will make 300 pages now regardless of whether we get the investment or not. What’s the record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Git Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Breaking news: It is emerging that the takeover consortium is made up of three major high street businesses: Specsavers, Boots and Greggs. Life as a Derby fan from now on is just going to be specs, drugs and sausage rolls. ........ I'll get me coat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you give us some examples of comparable takeovers and the times they took start to finish? The athletic said the other day i think Burnley was 8 months all together i only noticed because I was trying to figure out how long ours has been ongoing for and its about 7 months as did they start talks in May? And granted we have a lot more to iron out that Burnley with the msd loan and withe stadium and training ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m quite confident there’s an issue here that won’t see this takeover happen Nothing to do with arguing, just wondered if you could back up your statement that 'takeovers don't take this long' with any evidence. I'm guessing from your response that you can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing from your response that you can't. They very often take this long and much more especially at the moment with the international aspect. Well they do in Cambridgeshire but appreciate from comments on here that they dont in Derby. Think issue is somehow cat was out of bag so they had to confirm really early so it seems to have gone on forever. Like when someone tells you they are pregnant early and it seems they are then gestating an elephant with every known issue there could be. Anyway not convinced it will happen at all but length of time its taking isnt necessarily a factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaftesbury st Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 14 hours ago, MackworthRamIsGod said: I think the worse kept secret in the world of Derby County is the fact the takeover has collapsed. I'm hoping Rooney is interviewed at some point this week, I know the club have been hit by Covid, but unless Covid has learnt to infect computers, Rooney should be able to do a Zoom call and fill us all in on how all things Derby County are. Would be good to know how his transfer plans are going and how this Covid outbreak could affect things. Hopefully there will be some sort of conference tomorrow or Friday. Can we really expect transfers in if this has collapsed? I think we would certainly have to see outward movement first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
