Derby County Administration (with the slight possibility of Liquidation still there)

The stadium being held outside the club actually helps us at the moment as without that the club has little in the way of assets to liquidate.

The club’s single most valuable asset (so far as we know) is the claim for deferred sale price against the stadium owning company. So not sure what you say is correct

We have a value as either a league 1 or league 2 club and a going concern ..

The huge question is what is that value and will it exceed what MSD can get for whatever assets it has a lien / first call over. ?
 

If those values as L1 L2 DCFC doesn’t exceed the figures they can get for their share of the fixed assets  then we are in serious do do 

What are the players worth in cash ?  …. Given contracts are running down and knowing what we paid for Nathan Byrne values are tumbling … which actually might be good for us 

What is the Stadium / Moor farm worth 

This is a hardball game .. I am appalled at how slowly the EFL are working in regard to pints deductions  .. we are a member, regardless of administration.. The EFL needs to come clean and play fair or, one could conclude, they are failing protect both their members and the integrity of their competition !

Where are we on the stadium .. I was under the impression that MSD and Mel owned a chunk each but Mel might have paid off the MSD part ? Is that correct ?

I would imagine that has been netted off against rents payable and with MM's loans over the last 3 years.

But Mel's loans are worthless, as he is an unsecured creditor.

Erm thanks but what has that got to do with anything?

MM is writing off any outstanding loans due to him anyway, supposedly.

I was actually responding to @kevinhectoring who thought we might be owed money by the stadium company. We likely won't be as that debtor will have been netted off against loans from the stadium company via MM (IE. over the last 3 years, BEFORE we've gone into administration)

The admins and MSD have total control over the stadium. MM has none. And they told us they will sell the club and the stadium together. So it is a non issue

Well it’s true we don’t know all of the cashflows until accounts are published. But the rent is a mere £1.?m a year, so no way has that dented the 10s of £millions payable for the stadium.
 

What we don’t know is whether club losses have been funded by paying down the receivable from Gellaw 202; or whether they have been funded from ‘soft loans’ from MM to the club. 
 

I’d guess it’s largely the latter. Because the admins are all excited about MM waiving his ‘soft loans’. And because in the famous Samuelson documentary, MM boasted to the football loving world that he could sell the club and later waive legacy loans to boost the FFP position

I think it'll be both.

We'll find out for sure over the coming weeks once the administrators report is available.

Your suggestionwas that we had swapped the stadium for the money we owed Mel.

Right now I would rather we owned the stadium, it would be worth more than the cancelled loans, which would have been worthless anyway..

If Mel hasn't put the £80M into the club, then perhaps we still do own the stadium. It's all very well trying to show off how clever you are by getting round FFP, but has he actually paid the club the market value that he claimed?

It’s a conundrum though. The stadium may have some worth as a venue but it’s purpose is for a city football club … but MSD are owed what 19 million ?  … they almost won’t care as long as they get their cash back .. they need their 19 million and I suspect stadium plus moor farm in land value is worth that .. so what are they likely to care whether we continue or not 

Is Derby County post Covid, still awaiting points deductions, worth more than 19 million ? 
 

As I read it MSD as the largest creditor get first shout and first dibs. ? Or is there some voting rights thing on offers received ? 
 

It is also worth saying that the EFL’s continued foot dragging is damaging a member club without good reason.

What we'd rather and what has actually happened are two completely different things unfortunately. If the swap has occurred over the last 3 years (before we went into administration) then that's just where we're at.
