Taribo Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Apart from a single twitter gossip source, do we actually know a takeover is underway? I get the need for NDAs and keeping this one quiet - I like that way of conducting business, as long as we are actually conducting business.....

In his mid 40s, and lives in a reasonably modest 4 bed house in Oakwood. Doesn't strike me as a potential owner. He will just be the lawyer fronting a deal I suspect RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this might be a red herring. Derby County Limited was formed in 2015 according to companies House and was a dormant company for years. Just happened to be this person was put in control of the dormant company today. Just gone on CH again - maybe not actually.... Looks like it's had a lot of changes this month.

From what I can tell this company has never done anything. All three directors are just directors of Derby county limited and k Stevenson limited, both dormant companies. Registered office is just a standard registered office service to cloak the real location. Other companies at this address include 'BT telecom limited' which was formed in 2020...

I don't think it cost very much to just register a company name at companies House. I've never done it, but I'm sure some posters will have done.

DCFC1388 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 In terms of a new owner, we are in a decent position for them to take over with such a low wage bill compared to previous years plus unlike the past 2 that fell through we know we have Champ football for next season.

How many clubs, when being purchased, have 14 first team players, 1 of which has an ACL injury and the another has ongoing issues which has written off the best part of 2 years of football. They are going to need to chuck a few quid at it to get us competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a SPAV to me (special purpose acquisition vehicle). Directors look like a father and son duo with a third lady. Now, can anyone connect the stevensons with any interesting investors?

Or maybe some random simply registered the company name years ago just because they could. There's nothing the link this to the football club at all. I could register a company call Derby County 1884 Limited tomorrow if I so wished, means nowt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
