We just borrowed money from a financial company he's part of. We're probably a speck of dust in his world in reality. He'd have more fun setting his money on fire than spending it on us. The finance company that lent to us is the vehicle that manages his wealth I think. His clever analysts will have learned a lot about us when they made the loan and they will have been receiving constant updates. Likely any new buyer will have to talk to MSD before proceeding and if Dell thinks we’re going for a song surely he’d think about it. Given it’s a fire sale any buyer makes a killing if we get promotion. I guess if he bought us, MSD would have to sell some of its loans to other clubs but I’d imagine that’s not a big deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither were exactly behemoths prior to their current owners taking over, were they? Now the flip-side; Liverpool were priced at >£2 billion when last under offer and at that price, there's no great potential for ROI, least none that I can see. The only way is down. Would Tepper buy a club as a plaything, o do you suppose he might want to build the club and secure a return on investment? Let's take emotion out of the equation for a moment; in the good times; we can sell over 30,000 tickets for games. Derby is effectively a one club City; we are a founder member of the football league who have twice topped the pile; we have a large and loyal fan-base and a comparatively rich footballing history. Furthermore, I'd venture it is the very fact that we are in such a mess that makes us an attractive proposition. I struggle with the fact that so many fans are unable to grasp the notion that you buy stock when it's cheap, not when it's already peaked. Why one shitty season, when we've been challenging for promotion for nigh on 10 years now, is being taken as the only viable metric. We know there are multiple bidders currently and this without the EFL charges being put to bed. Surely there's a clue there for those who choose to see it? I've very little doubt that a consortium that brings the financial wherewithal of Tepper and the commercial skills and experience of a man like Glick, would be able to steady the ship and put us on back on a road we were already treading until 18 months ago without too much bother. There’s also a very nice shiny state of the art training ground in place , if they can get it in the deal.. a nice 33k all seater multi cough cough purpose stadium and we even have our own poem ... what more do they want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if i up set the Mel fan club with my honest opinions. Honest Mate I really do think that was because someone else broke their promise to him. When they did Mel didn’t have the readies ready at short notice. He either had to sell something or borrow cash against his other assets .. which he did ...and the players got paid. I think he got stuffed by some shiny suits. It was embarrassing but he faced the music and coughed up. He didn’t have money in his wallet so had to drive home and get some from the piggy bank which took a while, but there was money for Derby in the piggy bank Reggie Greenwood and Steve How Hard? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EraniosSocks Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Does every club have a load of people who write cryptic tweets and then say things like “can’t say” or “wait until tomorrow” in the tweets or is it just Derby? I know it’s the school holidays mind... ziggyram59 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSlate Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Even if there is some kind of announcement (I'd be amazed), everyone's going to be pretty wary... It will probably be something along the lines of "Own the Turf" where the club ask the fans to pay for the pitch. ziggyram59 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
