Topram Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 League one here we come (if we’re lucky it’s not none league) clearly another loan from MSD means he’s not expecting the take over at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 So the money still hasn't arrived, despite us being assured it had been remitted on or before December 31st? Are we allowed to call them shysters yet? Can bed wetting officially begin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Trav Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Mel needs to get out this club. I genuinely am starting to hate this club. Starting to lose the love I have. Feel so disconnected. Still no money received for last year. Thousands of calls to the club for no money. We’re the banter club of the efl now. Can’t wait to start supporting afc Derby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornwallRam Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 At this point a Fawaz takeover looks to be the best case scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I'm trying to think up how this is the fault of Tom Lawrence. I've no firm theory yet, but I'm sure it is. He looks grumpy and doesn't track back enthusiastically enough. It might also be Richard Keogh's fault. On a serious note. It's really really really "sub-optimal" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the key now is to avoid administration and desperately hope the remaining squad can avoid relegation. Then Mel can sell the club with a lower wage bill and hopefully a proper income (covid willing) in the summer. How thoroughly depressing. I generally believe in not overreacting to these headlines but this is starting too have a really desperate feeling to to it. My main concern had been the impact of this on this transfer window but I have to admit the future of the club could be at stake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTom92 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Usually clubs come out of this situation smelling of roses e.g. Crystal Palace a few years ago. But in covid times we may be up poo lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a deep breath buddy and give your keyboard a rest. I guess it could be that it's only a short term loan he is seeking (maybe as short as a few days) to cover the wages and sale is still on but, it's looking more and more unlikely. It seems like the next two days are critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sage Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I think this brinkmanship at play by the prospective new owners. Delaying to get the best price. Not that as of us were concerned about their morals 3 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t wait to start supporting afc Derby To be fair, he is trying to get out of the club but can't close the sale. No way am I starting to hate the club, how could you when it's the club you support? I hate what's happening and, when the truth finally emerges I won't have a lot of love for the person who got us here (whether that's Mel or not remains to be seen but it aint looking good) but I can't imagine ever hating the club.

The charges give them first refusal at the assets before any insolvency event, even a meeting. I'm not sure whether it's a good thing or a bad thing. If they decide to take the club as a going concern we might actually have an instant back door takeover. If they decide to go for liquidation of assets we could be looking at AFC Derby County very shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
