European cup semi- finalists. Introduced the football world to Brian Clough as a managerial master. A team full of high and some top quality internationals not long ago. Think your underselling us somewhat. None of those things occurred within the lifetime of the majority of the population of the UK, let alone those posting on here - not one.

Newcastle Fan Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Hi all. You’ll be able to tell from my username where I’m coming from. I saw the ‘takeover’ talk of Derby via an NUFC link - just thought you might like a perspective from a club who the Bin Zayed Group ‘tried’ to buy previously. Hopefully you will all take this in the spirit in which it is meant - it’s a shame to see these chancers being linked to a ‘proper’ club like DCFC. If the East Midlands press is as poo as the North East, chances are they’ll not report this. I’ll get this out of the way straight away; you won’t be taken over by this lot. They’re potless. They’re after the publicity. The bloke in charge of the organisation simply has a very similar name to the actual crown prince of Abu Dhabi. It would be like a bloke called Charles Windsor being mistaken for Prince Charles. He isn’t the ‘cousin’ of the Man City owner - he’s some sort of distant relative (plenty of them in that neck of the woods). The fact that the BZG did nothing to disabuse anyone of the fact that the press routinely mix their chairman up with the crown prince of Abu Dhabi says everything - he’s a con man. He works out of a pokey office in Dubai. He’s not a rich scion of the royal family. The man is called Sheikh Khaled bin Zayed al-Nahyan (note he doesn’t use ‘HH’ before his name - the equivalent of ‘HRH’) - he is NOT HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who is the man who is crown prince (and who the papers kept confusing with), nor is he HH Khalid bin Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who is a member of the royal family. The lazy bar stewards in the North East kept running this story well past the point that these jokers were exposed. When they ‘bid’ for Newcastle in 2019, we had Liverpool supporters telling us they were tyre-kickers. They were right. They had contacted Mike Ashley, who told them the price - they then put out that they had ‘agreed’ the purchase of the club. For about six weeks the papers waited for them to show proof of funds (a knacker called Midhat was the PR man - watch out for his ********). The proof of funds never materialised - because they’re potless. Hopefully no-one here is confused with the current takeover lot at Newcastle - that is actually the Saudi state (legal stuff is happening re that at present). It certainly isn’t that lot. Just a heads-up that it is a waste of time to even think about this chancer buying the club - he hasn’t the cash. Unfortunately, they took in a lot of our support with their ******** - helped by the uselessness of the football press. Please don’t waste your time thinking about what will happen under them - this is as far as it will ever get. With that, all the best for the coming season. I hope it will be understood that this post was not meant with any animosity - I’ve no negative feelings re Derby (after all, they play in the correct colours and have a dislike of Forest - both sensible & good things). Derby is a grand old club, and it irritates me seeing this bunch of chancers being linked with another historic English club. edit: I’ve just seen that they gave Ashley a £30m deposit. No they didn’t - that was the Saudis. The Bin Zayed Group didn’t even get past the ‘proof of funds’ stage. Don’t mix up the Saudi PIF and this lot.

Rambalin Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Nobody can say how much the Shiekh Is worth personally see my earlier post has to the reason why. The money being banded around is the estimated value of the Royal Family of Abu Dhabi which is reportedly between £118 and 150 billion pounds.

Day Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I don’t want to go into the laws of UAE which the new potential owner may or may not agree with, we have enough problems in this country to sit here and judge other countries cultures. What I do want to say is though, IF this takeover is completed, most of all I’m absolutely delighted for Mel personally. Having had the pleasure of speaking with him on numerous occasions, I know how much this club and the city of Derby means to him and how much, not just financially, but time he has put in for little reward. If he has now found the man or men that he feels comfortable passing on the baton and is able to recoup some of the money he has ploughed into the club, I couldn’t be happier for him. Honestly, this is well above what this might mean for the club. I do hope he remains at the club in some capacity, although if he chooses to walk away, tired of battling with the EFL, sick of reading abuse from ungrateful fans who have never made a mistake or made the wrong call in their life, and choose to spend more time with his wife and family I would completely understand, nor would I blame him one bit. If I was a multi millionaire, there is not a chance I would touch any football club with a barge pole, you would find me on a beach somewhere, pina colada in one hand and a cigar the other. One day, what the man has done for this club will be appreciated by those that maybe cannot appreciate today. I guarantee it. What this potential takeover might mean for the club, I don’t know, whilst some have been very recently over critical of the money spent by this club, I find it a little hard to stomach the excitement of draining another mans bank account. Is this what being a football fan is about? Shouting NEXT as soon as one chooses to tighten the wallet a little? Getting all giddy over their ranking in the worlds richest? Don’t get me wrong, I would love to see top quality players at this club, but I don’t like this modern day attitude whilst blaming Sky for ruining the game. The potential new owner could be worth 200 billion, but that does not mean we will have 200 billion to spend, 198 billion could be tied up in assets and investments, so whilst it might sound like the fun police have arrived, I think we should maybe hold back a little and not get carried away until the vision for the club has been laid out. Seen a few people urge caution also, but with Fawaz 2.0 being thrown out as a possibility, I wouldn’t go that far as I believe Mel when he says he wouldn’t just sell to anyone and run away. He loves this club just as much as you all reading this forum right now. BUT, if this did all go Pete Tong, let’s not be quick to blame him when so many are ready to kick him out the door for not appointing managers and signing players with hindsight. Finally, I would love it, Kevin Keegan style LOVE IT, if we could smash Bournemouth today as a thank you if this takeover is to go through early next week. Hard to see it though with Jozwiak out, what a find he was by the recruitment team. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
