Swiftly followed by rumours that there are other interested parties... Very convenient. Just confirms what we all already know, nobody has a clue what’s going on apart from DCFC and the potential new owners. All guess work from all ITK’s, Reporters and Tw@erers. I guess we will all find out one way or another when DCFC want us to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Ram Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 All of this uncertainty and apparent chaos cannot be a good sign for the future. This is also a group which dramatically pulled out of a Newcastle deal. Anyone saying 'Rooney wouldn't have signed on without assurances for player building' yeah because that would be the first time a manager has been lied to by a prospective owner. Mel is not stupid but if he's struggling for hard cash in his desperation to get rid of the club he might be pushed into a less than great decision for new ownership. I'm personally not convinced by this group at all, we have yet to see a penny, players wages are not paid and the takeover has somehow still not taken place and it's all led to yet another farce.

I can’t imagine we are even close to negotiating arrangements with the serious ones like HMRC or the Water authority. It is always likely that we have been a bit slow paying suppliers, there aren’t many businesses that pay on the nail in normal terms anyway HMRC will not let any liabilities of the kind Derby may owe drag on more than about 8 weeks without being very peed off.

Look at the other reasons we lost. Not trained for 13 days not played for 15 days. Awful pitch. As for Mel’s arrogance? Really? He’s invited more supporters into the club and moor farm and had q&a’s at outside venues than any other chairman of Derby I ever knew, never ducking questions. Apparently he’s not well, how unwell is he? I don’t know, do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MK-Ram Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Remember when fans protested outside Pride Park during the GSE ownership period? The way the club was run then pales in comparison to how things are right now. It appears we will be taken over, whether that is the Sheikh, Dell, or someone else isn't certain, but what does appear increasingly certain is that we are heading to league one. It could be a blessing in disguise and we may use it as an opportunity to kick on like Southampton, but equally, look at clubs like Sunderland and Ipswich. I fear that is more likely our immediate future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t think he’s been good for us, the battles with the EFL etc, countless Managers. Not aware he’s not well but if that is the case then why isn’t that communicated, at least fans know and won’t then expect comms.

Heard this a few times now and it seemed to start with a possible reason for him wanting to sell, to becoming factual. Hopefully it's a rumour rather than the latter.

rammieib Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Quite simply this transfer take over must be completed in ten days or less. The players must be paid. Rooney must be allowed to bring in 2/3 players before the end of January. That is the only way I see us staying up. Quite literally we can’t score.

I actually agree with you. I think it’s embarrassing that Mel is letting the Sheikh make decisions in the future of this club despite not putting up any cash. This time in future years will be looked on as badly as some of the recent fiascos Of previous ownership groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
