That's the problem, it's not our club. It's Mel's club and really he can do whatever he wants with it including potentially run it into the ground.

You say Gadsby someone else has suggested Kirkland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I remember that little barrel of fun - when we got John Sleightholme's work email address. He stepped down within 48 hours. Up to our eyeballs in debt, selling Raziak and Hudds for three bits of nothing and Murdo pays for a bagpiper to come to Moor Farm as a 'bit of a joke' on (iirc) St Andrew's Day. Jeremy Keith and his 'train set'. What days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell do they talk about. Have you sent it we ain’t got it yet. Yes I’ve sent it. Still not received. No idea but we sent it. We are even making decision and letting them make decisions and part run the club with no money coming in. What other business does it because no one else would it’s absurd. Wouldn’t see Mac Donald’s let a new buyer or investor have an input in the menu with No cash in. I’d like to make a lettuce burger with just lettuce bun and no sauce it just wouldn’t nt happen. The sheikh must be loving it making decisions with no consequences The price of camels? The passing sands of time? Size of the current harem ,bank charges or,Oil’s well that ends well? ! ??

TomTom92 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I’m probably being mardy but at this point even if the Sheikhs do come good I’ll have 0 time for them. Of course that would change if they signed us a few worldies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramarena Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Hmmmmm it wouldn’t surprise me if Kirkland and/or Gadsby were waiting in the wings. I think they are relatively genuine regards their wanting to keep the club out of serious trouble. I doubt they would want to run the club long term. They’d be more interested in bailing it out in the short term and then trying to find someone else to move the club forward in the longer term.

Pretty sure Kirkland is in his 80s now - not sure he'd fancy getting involved too heavily though he'd probably be able to provide the necessary finacial clout to back a bid....

hintonsboots Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 What is Mel’s relationship with the Kirkland family and Peter Gadsby ? Wouldn’t he be better selling a third of the business to each and retaining a third ? They would all have the Rams best interests as the number one priority .

OoooMarkWright Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 John Kirkland is in his early 80s, his family is pretty much Mel Morris levels of millions though. He’s passed his business interests to his son so who knows. Gadsby is also early 70s. I’m not sure they’re mad enough to invest in a car crash of a club at the moment.

I'm sure we could get a pretty good consortium of Derby fans together even if temporarily. Gadsby and Kirkland would be good enough on their own, but if they could get a few more involved as well that would be even better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think LP 'expected' to sell to LOG or various parts of it. It may have gone on too long as negotiations sought to get the club for as cheap as possible, then matters were taken out of the control of those that would be better placed to get involved in the first place.

Anag Ram Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Can we not get all involved round to Eddie's house? Get Eddie to put some Belgian specials out and leave the contract on the table. All socially distanced of course but I bet there's a scrawly signature on that contract by morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or something like that I'm pretty sure but not 100% that LP borrowed money from the Co op circa £10million, It was payable by a certain date, LP defaulted so the Co op stepped in and took control, LPs fortune started to drip away, Leaving some people very angry indeed. Maybe some on here have more insight than myself as it was a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
