Personally I would appeal to the Minister for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, and ask her to have a quiet word in Rick Parry’s ear, with reference to the very worrying precedent that could be set in this case. 

The EFL need to take ownership of the situation, defuse it and lay down the law to all its member clubs about going down this route in the future.

You can only email Nadine Dorries directly if you are in her constituency, so use the email above.

 

Dorries, we’re better off fending for ourselves!

[Sparkle]

So others clubs are complaining because we won’t sell our players cheap and now - tough bid what is considered acceptable to the club.

I am totally with Rooney on this 

The administrators have a club to sell and there is nothing to sell without the players because nothing else is for sale because we don’t own it ! ———- what would a potential owner be buying - nothing !

Radio Derby died a death as any hard hitting voice on behalf of the supporters 25 years ago I'm afraid.  They seemed to require the use of smelling salts to ask Morris what he had for breakfast.

Maybe Steve Nicholson from the D.E.T could rebuild his journalistic reputation by taking up the baton instead of regurgitating news articles from elsewhere and turning them into click bait.

The sherbet dab was with a lollipop a small bag of sherbet, The sherbet fountain was with the licorice straw in a tube...not inertube ie on a bicycle wheel.

Nope not our lot, We didn't have blackboard chalk back then...it was Wax Tablets with a pointed piece of metal...scribe

Can't bbc radio Derby and local TV start banging the drum to raise the issue? Surely they can do better than they are and then perhaps some national media will get involved.

This whole situation is beyond belief. 

Radio Derby has been swallowing the EFL /Boro line from day one. 
 

if you are expecting  investigative journalism from our local radio station you will be disappointed I’m afraid.

We have made excellent progress over the last 24 hours and expect to name a preferred bidder immensely in the next 48 weeks

Just got to work and I saw Ashley’s helicopter going to Sports Direct this morning so he’s in the area. 
 

However we may be in for another preferred bidder is imminent or sometime soon or something like that. 
 

All I want is to see some action.

[Woodley Ram]

thought better of it, so will not say what I was going too. need to go for a coffee. too many swear words anyway?

[Eatonram]

Will this be preferred bidder or the update explaining why they can’t announce preferred bidder. 

[Cam the Ram]

The update is pretty much as expected - there is no update. Yet more delays.

 

Following the questions BAWT sent to Quantuma last week, the Administrator called to update us on the situation. Here is the latest information we have...

 

There are no material changes in the situation since our last meeting. While the Administrators were hopeful of quicker progress and hence the use of the word imminently, this didn't happen for various reasons. That said, the Administrators are hopeful of naming a preferred bidder possibly this week. There are still two interested parties.

 

Discussions have been held with all bidders for the transfer of the ground under separate terms to the purchase of the club. The owner of the Ground, Mel Morris, and the Administrators are completely aligned in this respect.

 

Provisions are in place for short-term funding until a preferred bidder is named. Part of the negotiations with the proposed preferred bidders is their ability to assist in funding until the deal is finalized.

 

Discussions are being held with regard to contract extensions and permissions being sought from the EFL to do this.

 

While sales cannot be 100% ruled out in this window, the administrator's preference is that any sales will be handled by the preferred bidder in line with their plans for the club/squad and as part of the funding requirement as referred above.

 

Despite various stories in newspapers and on Twitter, there is no further progress with the claims of Middlesbrough and Wycombe, but these will not prevent a preferred bidder from being named. After that Carl hopes further discussions can take place with all parties and hopes an agreement can still be arrived at.

Nothing much to report then apart from the Boro and Wycombe claims won’t stop the preferred bidder being named although there wasn’t much on what the hold up is.

We now know there are two interested parties... oh and just for Iram's benefit that Mel Morris owns the ground.

No progress with Boro.Gibson can continue to be the pantomime villain while Pearce sits smugly watching on.

Also confirming that funding in place to continue trading, which should address any claims from other clubs/EFL that we should be accepting low ball bids for our players.
