EtoileSportiveDeDerby Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 9 minutes ago, Dimmu said: My gut feeling is that "imminent" is synonym to "48 hours". Can someone confirm? Correct. Imminent, 48 hours, thuckknowswhen are all good synonyms. As it happens, the odds on the take over happening this year imminently have gone up.

Crewton Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 12 hours ago, RAM1966 said: I've said the same myself numerous times about the Administrators role is to get the best deal for the creditors and not the club. However they should not be stating an update imminently about naming the preferred bidder if they were not even close, which appears they are not. The administrators have done this only to try and deflect any flack they would attract when CK walked away. It now makes me very suspicious of anything they say including their original comments about being very confident that the club would be saved, I think they could be stringing us all along now until the end of Jan when the TW closes, in that time they will have a closing down sale, finally closing the doors to PPS at some point in Feb. I hope I'm wrong, but, as each week passes I think this is more and more the likely outcome! Are you married to Rodney Trotter by any chance?

Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 We could really do with something being confirmed in the next 7-10 days. Even if only so that we have the funds to tie Jags down until the end of the season before his contract runs out. If it drags on into the last week of the window I really do fear we might start losing players for whatever we can get for them... which would be a real shame considering the fight that the lads are showing on the pitch right now. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I'm not really sure of the delay, other than an increase in funds was required to facilitate a creditor. If they haven't completed agreement with other creditors a bit more may be required now more cash has offered . The administrator may be looking to shift wages in January to facilitate an increase in these creditors payments, without an investor having to increase an offer further . IF they can get 5 -10 million raised in January with wage savings of say 50K a week, that may by combination reduce accrued debt down to a figure that can be covered by best offer made and cover running costs for a couple of months without more borrowing. That would, however, possibly be a terminal blow to chances of staying up. Carl Sagan and jimtastic56 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eatonram Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Using the word "imminent" was a strange choice by the admins considering the complexities of the purchase and the many possible delays beyond their control. However, it is hard to believe it was just to pacify supporters with false optimism, I mean what is to be gained by that. I can only assume they genuinely feel they are close to being able to name preferred bidder but there are some issues as yet unresolved but they feel they are getting close. We can only hope. If confidence grows that staying up is becoming more of a possibility, the prospective buyer is less likely to want to weaken the playing staff in January.

BAWT are on record as saying Appleby is still very much here, Not forgetting there's a reported £5million non refundable payment to the Admin...so as the Lawyers/solicitors for the alledged 2 buyers maybe more answers are needed to questions asked amongst this fallen house of cards which is Derby County. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all our cards have fallen there few are still standing never ever ever give up the fight we are all fighting for the club future. We are Derby county that never gives up the fight.

Mucker1884 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Not the nicest place for us to be getting our point across, what with it being a tweet to remember loved ones lost, but it had to be said, and there was nowhere else to say it, I guess, so I ain't going to be castigating those that did respond. It certainly needs saying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that the “preferred bidder” is required to commit a sizeable non-refundable deposit so needs agreement by both parties….. the claims from Wycombe and Boro will be making this much more complex than it would have been jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
