Sussex Ram Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Naturally, there is a lot of speculation about the identity of the parties who are serious contenders to buy the club. There’s also been a LOT of speculation about the net worth of some of those parties- Chris Kirchner being the main one, as he is the only publicly known bidder (I think?) My question is- how much does their net worth really matter? Obviously if they have £10k in the bank then it’s a problem (!), but if P&S limits losses to £39m over three years, or roughly £1m a month, then that puts a limit on how much the owner can put in. Right? Can someone who knows about this stuff confirm? So an owner can be worth $7bn, or $1.5bn, or whatever- but if they can’t pump more than £13m into the club per year, what’s the difference? I’d rather have an owner who is “worth” a fraction of the above amounts, but is a shrewd businessman or woman; delegates transfer activity to a top recruitment team; puts trust in the academy; and doesn’t ever leave Derby at risk of liquidation. r_wilcockson, StockholmRam and Sly 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris...just come out and say it, you have a few quid but you're comfortably off and can afford a new car and a decent holiday, but that's it. No shame in it mate, don't be so defensive.

It's been reported that CK has the where with all to buy DCFC, Where is this money coming from only a few will know, He's on record saying he isn't a Billionaire, Is this good or is this a reason that will make him prudent? Now the £60k question, Lets just asume we're relegated by a 10 point margin, CK is at the healm and is aware of what he has taken on, It's a new season in league 1, No restrictions as long as he stays within the rules of the EFL where spending is concerned, WR has essembled a decent looking squad for the new season, We have a shocking start in August losing our 1st 4 games, The transfer window has closed and the rumblings with the fans can be herd in and around PP, Things are looking pretty average leading upto the new year we're mid table and 8 points from 6th place but the transfer window opens in a week, Fans expect 2-3 or more signings, CK says...sorry we can't afford new blood it's a long road to the Championship. All message boards go into overdrive, The booos by fans are making CK unpopular, Fans demanding WR is sacked...this is DCFC we're a big club what does this American know.

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. Two pints from you. Think Arsenal deferred payment because they knew they would not get it back while we are in administration and if the took him back they would be paying his wages and getting nothing back. As for your comment about Burnley, see vydra is not playing but our of contract in July. We in return for all the business that has gone their way take him on (if they paid his wages) and give him some game time. Burnley would get nothing out of it but we would get somebody trying to prove he deserved a contract somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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... I can’t imagine any player cancelling his contract to get a move at the end of January unless what we offer is a pay rise - unlikely I would say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know nuffin Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 No to my question. Just looked up preferred buyer and it appears that a preferred buyer is granted a short period of exclusivity for it to acquire the business and certain assets. Let's pretend CK is the PB and has or will put an offer in to the administrators which is acceptable to them. He has looked at the books, proved he has the liquid assets (cash?) , wants us so why does it take about 6,or 7 weeks to happen when in our case speed and the transfer window are of the essence. Does anybody know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a shrewd / clever businessman is what we are going to need. Perhaps where the 'net worth' comes into play, is that potential owners only will want to put up a certain percentage of their wealth into any one venture. The previous owner is considerably wealthy, but was in too deep and seemingly got the jitters about his personal wealth plummeting. For the vast majority, owning a pro football club is a loss making enterprise. Unless the current business model changes, any potential owner needs to be fully aware of that and have deep enough pockets to pay for the ride.

If things go to plan, by the time we hear there is a preferred buyer that person will be the buyer the admins lose all leverage in the process if they announce a preferred buyer before everything is pinned down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
