Asanovic70 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I was going to post the obvious & say why couldn't one or two of the interested parties maybe work alongside each other. Read on newsnow that Gadsby & Appleby are considering this. The financial state of the club is complex & maybe each consortia can address a particular situation. As for Mr Kirchner, I thought his initial statements OTT, but he has been more restrained. I feel a little sorry for him, he comes across as enthusiastic, almost like a child, wanting his own football team but instead he's being asked to buy a basket-case instead. One last point which may not be relevant to our present situation. We are £68m in debt, the figure quoted, and then you flick through the BBC gossip column, to find that one of the elite are bidding that amount for a player. You could argue the same amounts Mel Morris wasted could keep many a fellow Championship/lower league side in existence for decades. I hope we learn from this situation that it isn't worth mortgaging the club in an attempt to join - quite probably - the most ridiculous and irresponsible league in the world.

Curtains Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Good article in Athletic today. Reading between the lines CK seems to be preferred bidder before Xmas but after that a long way to go . Usually takes a month after preferred bidder announced to complete . Verbal agreement over ground with MM and MSD but says not certain. HMRC talks positive but no agreement until preferred bidder Preferred bidder will have to get through EFL owners test and negotiate with Boro and Wycombe successfully to avoid going to court Good news but loads to do yet ziggyram59 and jimtastic56 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be Billy Davies isn't it. Gadsby and Co to take over, Rooney to get the boot and Billy Davies will arrive on the number 72 bus from Galsgeew. And my guess for player will be Steve Howard. Edited December 20, 2021 by MackworthRamIsGod jimtastic56, ziggyram59 and Curtains 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bald Eagle's Barmy Army Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 As for ex-player, I'm going for Michael McIndoe.

BramcoteRam84 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Getting on the speculation here, ex manager involved could be McClaren - clearly indicated he wants to be in the football business side of things. Cocu was also reportedly part of an investment group with a load of ex-Dutch players including Bergkamp to buy a club. As for ex-Derby players who have made decent money outside the game, only one I can think of is Ashley Ward, him and his missus are worth about £40m from their Interior Design and Property business. Think it’s them that have built Rooney’s £20m mansion. Nothing like a bit of wild speculation ?
