belperram9 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 This deal will no longer go through because of where Cocu has got us. Why would a billionaire Shiekh purchase a club rock bottom of the championship. Embarrassing for him to be the owner of a club like this. Thanks Cocu for ruining the best deal that will ever be presented to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Cocu for ruining the best deal that will ever be presented to us. That is my suspicion as well. Championship with a promotion is very different to League one and another challenge in the championship. Think we had to get all this signed off prior to QPR. It seems odd to be thinking the season has no hope after 11 games and i've seen Derby sides struggle a fair few times. I genuinely think there is no hope though- it took me till January to think that about the 11 pint team. Absolutely abject side. Worst I've seen here in my 39 yrs of watching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's disliking the manager and wanting him gone, and there's talking complete and utter cocobananas ******** and putting the blame one man for something that's only actually happened in your head. Yeah, I'm sure they agreed the deal in principle earlier this week when we were 23rd but now we're bottom they're going to pull out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofmidnight Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I really don't think they'll pull out. There is so much potential in Derby County and a really good fan base. Not worried at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yani P Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Its a project no way will they pull out they will have a plan and unlike Derby in recent times they will execute that plan.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinhectoring Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 they'll pull out because we lost to Barnsley ? Don't think so. They want a club with PL infrastructure at a Championship price. They've got one. Cocu will not go if - under the terms of the sale - Mel bears the cost of breaking the 3 year contract. There's just one danger. City Group would love a good championship club as a feeder for all of their teams. Let's hope K and his cousin will not use us and our fine academy for this purpose. That would be years of pain and problems with the regulators. But not likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammieib Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 What’s key for me here is who the new owners are going to put in place to manage the day to day. Its currently Mel as COO (I think) and SP as CEO. Assuming SP stays in place but Mel becomes this special advisor who is going to actually call the shots and be the decision maker. Whoever that person is has final say - and that person needs to be in place immediately so we can get rid of Cocu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple because a league one destined club is worth less than a top 10 championship one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a fair point that the overall decision of managers is Mel, and I'd like to believe that the manager has had overall say in the players. BUT we don't know yet who is going to call the shots. The Sheikh won't be spending 40 hours a week of his time working on Derby County .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sage Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I still think there is a 50/50 chance at best of this happening judging by other club's experiences. If it does happen we are all expecting Michael Corleone and we will end up with Fredo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't ever think a manager should be undermined in his player decisions. I fear a DoF does this. But it you leave Pearce to run the business side of the club, out a DoF to act as the link from manager and academy boss into owners, it could work when an owner is very remote. We have an interesting few weeks but the longer it goes on, the more it'll impact on the pitch with the gap getting bigger to 21st! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
