The more this is going the more i think it is one of 2 options. There are 2 valuable assets, The stadium and the training ground. One of which we know is not owned by the club. The club itself is ridled with debt, losing more money every day, shrinking fan base, on field issues/embargo etc. So worth about £1 + large debts to a potential buyer, thats option 1 and option 2 is administration. Really hope i am wrong and there are other ways, but as long as the club is managed the way it is I am struggling to see it going differently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The golden share, aka membership of the EFL. Whoever owns that, owns a professional football franchise. Worryingly, that doesn't have to have any connection with Derby.

As Radioactive says, I reckon this gets sorted before the end of the month. However, and this is the worrying part - I don’t trust this management to come through with action on time. Looking at the past 2 years, there have been so many instances of failure to act by ownership, there is a growing doubt that we will get things done on time. Feels like we’re on a precipice and moving closer to the edge! Havent we already served 18 months of that sentence ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBRammette Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Assume this is to ramp pressure up in negotiations for us to reach agreement as they know this would make the club even more difficult to sell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFL wanted him to pay 20mill of the debt off upfront but he wouldn't tell them where the money to pay it was from and kept stalling on actually paying it. If that was true I wonder what the deal is now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, at the time that the Alonso deal was going through and we were supposedly waiting on confirmation from the EFL. I was explaining what I remembered of the reporting of that deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
