Shaftesbury st 272 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 1 hour ago, James Pond said: Copied from the DT. "The outstanding wages of the Derby County players are to be paid in full by Monday, DerbyshireLive understands. In turn, this will see the club's transfer embrago lifted and allow them to bring players in. Some players had already been paid for December. There is no new update on the proposed takeover by Sheikh Khaled's Derventio Holdings (UK) limited, but the takeover remains on." Read this earlier and I don’t see this as good news really. Imagine you are a player who Derby want to sign, do you go and sign knowing that potentially you may not get paid next month or do you stay put or go elsewhere?. This not only prevents us signing players now it will impair our ability moving forward too. Unless the takeover is completed then this situation will likely be repeated.

To quote WR, "I have players waiting to sign" or something of that ilk, If your're out of contract(and they'll be quite a few)and if someone like WR asks you to sign, I'd sign, But you have a good point.

Re the debate about what a stakeholder is, the dictionary definition is What Is a Stakeholder? A stakeholder is a party that has an interest in a company and can either affect or be affected by the business. The primary stakeholders in a typical corporation are its investors, employees, customers, and suppliers. See Jimbo’s comment above 😁 Link to post Share on other sites
RedSox 577 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) “I’ll be on the phone to Stephen Pearce and Mel Morris after the game to see where we’re at..” said WR to Radio Detby after the final whistle.

What is clear is that without a new backer their bid will collapse and DCFC will need to find new backers to back the club as we are in desperate need of financial backing. Can I choose bacca?

I can see some great news in it, but of course it wouldn't be smart to don the rose coloured spectacles and legging it to the bookies to place a wager on us powering into the playoffs. Buuuut, it's probably better to think that's a good thing, than be scouring the garage for that old rope and wondering if the bedroom light fitting will take your weight.

kevinhectoring 583 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 8 hours ago, Gerry Daly said: No I don't think you are reading too much into it if they have deliberately amended it. Interesting two big signals the BZG deal is off. First MM has raised funds to inject into the club to pay the players - that cash was supposed to come from BzG Second this change from 'the takeover remains on' to 'a takeover remains on' pretty much shows they have given up on BZG. I reckon MM thought he had us a big backer who would take us to the PL and put this club where it belongs. I hope he will find another similar investor and - in the meantime - give WR what he needs to mount a challenge next season. The signs on the pitch are good Big ask of MM tho, for him to keep ploughing in the cash cstand 1 Link to post Share on other sites
