Bosshogg Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Sorry if this is already on a different thread but reading the latest bbc report has got me thinking. The administration team are quoted as saying to BBC Radio Derby on Sunday they were ‘hopeful of the club getting out of administration by the end of January’. So does that mean no new owners until mid/late January? Surely that will be too late to get any meaningful business done. The level of debt is staggering and why would any business man get involved at this stage without some form of loyalty/love for the club. There’s playing the long game then there’s this! Even if you envisioned making the prem in 5 years the numbers don’t add up and it’s a big if. I’ve just got the feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach. The on field results have been very good particularly the last two games but honestly I’m more worried we won’t have a club anymore. So that’s it, now make me feel better about things fellow rams fans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latest BBC report says we are still losing money but that is partly because season ticket sales were paid in advance/ carried over, so there is currently little no new money coming in. Otherwise we woud be profitable as a Championship team, leave alone a Premier league payola team. . Bosshogg and I know nuffin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO I think it will be hellishly difficult to get new players into the club in January, new owners or not, which is why I queried your comment as I can see outgoings though.

Topram Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I’m hoping it’ll be wrapped up in January, can’t afford to keep paying the admin fees at 450 pound an hour ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be difficult unless we get generous help from a premiership big boy for example Man City might go, Liam Delap will get good game time in a competitive team trying to play football at a place he knows with no travel difficulties for him, and allow us just to pay a peppercorn wage. I could see Belick Jozwiak and Marshall all leaving potentially in January with Rooney’s blessing whilst Lawrence might with a decent bid as well. jono, Bosshogg and r_wilcockson 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With new owners and some money I’d have thought getting a squad in would be a priority for a new owner? Outgoings without a new owner are guaranteed sadly.

Yes, being realistic, this is the most likely scenario. Very sad, but that's where we are.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yani P Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I thought preferred bidder was announced in 2 weeks so hopefully they will then already be engaging with the club to plan for Jamuary even if the deal closing takes a while r_wilcockson and Foxy Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 2 hours ago, norwichram said: Anyone in mind? I can certainly see Arsenal taking Bielik back for the 3 million we owe them for this season and flogging him on the same day for 5 to a club at the arse end of the premier table or someone with a bit of parachute money to take a chance on his knee - if they get 10 games before he breaks down staying up or promotion is cash well spent. Always seemed a bit strange them deferring payment due. And there's always Burnley who are two years behind with their customary signing from us at £1.50.

Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 As it stands, as long as we get a new owner sorted and are out of administration by the start of Feb at the latest, we'll be fine. As already mentioned, we can't spend money on transfer fees and loans regardless. There might be a few new freebies knocking around after the transfer window ends with players who didn't get a move by the transfer deadline cancelling their contracts to get a move. It'd still be nice to find a striker... Carnero and r_wilcockson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
