I hope he's not another Sam "I always get my man" Rush. 11 minutes ago, Rambalin said: There is a difference between the Wigan situation and ours... That is Trevor Birch who is now at the EFL and in charge of the test. Birch has facilitated quite a few successful takeovers of clubs Chelsea, Leeds and Swansea to name a few he is well versed in sorting out the good from the bad in these deals and is very meticulous. This is probably why it is taking sometime to approve or block the deal. I am not saying Birch could not get it wrong but his past history suggests he is a pretty good person to be judging this. But hopefully this is the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it totally suits the Daily Mail agenda to run as much poo on us as possible to try to derail the club further. Certainly "convenient" timing isn't it!

P.s. Only kidding (I hope). I don’t really believe in conspiracy theories or think the whole world is determined to destroy Derby. Except the EFL are now our only hope of not getting stuck with a chancer! DavesaRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half Fan Half Biscuit Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Was leafing through Telegraph Sport section for Percy’s article and saw the headline El Drama adds to Derby quandary . . . but it turned out to be about horse racing.

Animal is a Ram Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I can't help but lose faith with all corners of DCFC at present. While I'm ignoring what the Daily Fail is saying to some extent, I can't say the number of bad articles isn't concerning. Would love to know why they appear to have a massive vendetta against the club, mind. I can only hope that this stuff isn't accurate, and my thoughts are with the 'normal' people employed by DCFC in whatever form it may be. rynny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BramcoteRam84 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Do we have the full transcript of the Percy article? I agree it’s the most concerning. The Alonso deal will either happen or it won’t happen. The Percy article seems to talk about what next and infers that Mel will put us in administration if this deal doesn’t go through - which is something many of us including me thought was never going to happen as we trust Mel to do right by the club (regardless of any criticism of how he’s managed it). I still don’t believe he would, unless he has actually run out of money. We need to focus on the game tomorrow but after the game we need some answers. If this thing drags on through the summer then we will only start next season on the back foot whichever division we’re in angieram, IslandExile and Andrew3000 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but, ignoring the Daily Mail, that's the outcome Percy is suggesting may happen without Alonso. Worrying times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
