Just think the debts are formidable and taking them on will be difficult for any prospective buyer.

ram59 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 They have to show optimism, they're trying to sell the club and keep it in business. It's common sense to big up your product and say that you've got others interested. Even if only one of the interested parties are going to put an offer in, if they think that several other parties are also considering an offer, then they'll put in a better offer than if they knew that they were the only ones. From a practical point of view regarding the value of the club, there are many positives; 1, little or no capital investment is required on the stadium or training ground, which are both premier league standard, unlike many other clubs 2, Fan base can't be bought, but is already there and a high position in the championship, nevermind premier league, will guarantee 30,000+ crowds, unlike many other clubs. 3, Looking at what's left of the playing squad, I believe that there can only be a few high earners left on the books, with sensible player purchases, the club should be able to break even once the incomes return to pre-covid levels. The price to pay for the club is dependent on the debts, if MM is prepared to write off his debts and the other debts can be negotiated to reasonable levels, then the price should be affordable. Figures of around £50m have been mentioned and don't think that this would be unreasonable for someone to pay MM for the club, if it was debt free. It's just a pity that he wasn't able to negotiate a similar price with a buyer and for him to use the money to clear the debts and save us the 12 point penalty for administration.

They won’t all have the funds necessary of that I’m almost certain If the rumour is the same as the recently tweeted size of debt being around ~ £100 million, didn't that get shot down because it included debt to Mel that he has said he will write off?

Whos certain about anything ! Yes I know what you mean. I think prospect of sale greater with a well-known figurehead at Derby and he certainly brought in better prospects than we all hoped for to fill the final squad places at the start of the season.
