It’s not quite the end of the world as we know it, but it’s getting pretty close to it ! I don’t want to be a doom monger. If there life after Derby? ?

It wasn't too long ago I was eagerly scouring social media looking for confirmation we had signed the likes of George Thorne and Tom Ince. The future looked so exciting. I didn't entertain any notion other than we were heading for the Premier League and we would firmly establish ourselves there. Now I'm checking social media looking for confirmation our club still exists. What has happened between then and now is difficult to get your head around. A sobering realisation is that it could well be our time to pay the piper. If it is, however painful we are and always will be Derby County.

Seth's left foot Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Jesus wept, we just go from one disaster to another. After the stadium sale debacle there will be plenty of knives sharpening for Mel, the corner flag needs to release a statement in the morning.

HariboWest Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 If we keep hold of Jason Knight in this window, I’ll be amazed. Sad state of affairs all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Just now, Coconut said: I hate to break it to you, but that would be the ideal situation for them - buy us off the administrators for next to nothing. As I've stated, I don't think Mel will let that happen. Otherwise, the news that has leaked out would mean this is 100 percent off. At which point, why would you leak it. You'd just put out a statement now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like those days might be back... Knight and Sibley for how much? Or will Mel save us from the mess he's got us into?! Last minute on the last day wasn't it?

We were flying by the seat of our pants already before the money dried up. This isn’t solely bad ownership, nobody could’ve foreseen what was coming! Even Southampton lost around £80m quid last year. We were running along at around at £20m per year loss on paper, nevermind stadium sales and other wheezes, with income nearer £30m. Easy to see how this pandemic may have cost us £50m quid already. 10k Season tickets sold, at a reduced price, against 22k normally! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have more faith than me, even if he finds it this month, what about the next and the one after that. Seems he is ready to cut his losses one way or another, maybe this takeover is his final hurrah to blame someone else. How do you go from being confident the deal will be completed pre Xmas, to funds have been sent to where we are now, admin could be around the corner. Surely the club have had some evidence that the funds were there in the first instance, I really am struggling to understand how we are in the position we are now, even after everything Mel has previously done.
