The Administration Thread

Exactly. If the news is correct then the club is not that near to being sold so the EFL need proof of funds for the season. Maybe there hasn’t been an acceptable offer yet. 

Why do they ? - we finish the season or we don’t - the administrators are in charge of what happens to the business 

[hintonsboots]

Can anyone put up a link with PJ contract expiry date ? Would then contradict the post from JP?

Lets all just calm down, ignore dubious stuff on twitter, and wait for official statements from the club.

When will it ever end? Ffs.

So next will be player sales.

Then Rooney's resignation.

For a brief moment last night, we were hopeful that a PB would be named and we could see a way out of this nightmare, now we're just plummeting towards the abyss.

It's very odd. I can't see it's a money saving thing - if it's a contract, then I assume we pay him anyway.  Maybe we save a bit on appearance fees etc, but I imagine we're probably paying that to someone else instead anyway. Maybe he's asked to be let go if he's been told we can't renew his contract? Not sure that entirely makes sense either though.

If the story is true, Then his contract has been cancelled by mutual consent, Agents would have been informed and on the blower to other clubs, If Jagielka hasn't signed in time for "another" club to play tomarrow, Then canceling his contract is strange

Am I the only one who thinks this is actually logical from the EFL and was probably a planned meeting for a while. If we said that we had enough funds to get us through to the end of January, it's only right that if we haven't got the preferred bidder deposit yet that the EFL ask where the money is coming from to recruit if we haven't sold any players either? 

There are two bits.

1. Not being able to extend the deal - it's logical for us to be able to prove how we can afford to extend the deal
2. The contract being cancelled a day before a game, just a few days before the contract was due to expire - this decision is utterly ridiculous with no logic at all

[Big Trav]

Honestly I think this is the beginning of the end

[Caerphilly Ram]

The BBC tend to have a bit more (A BIT) more credit than the newspaper men I suppose ? 

[Ramarena]

Remember Percy and Nixon are briefing from the EFL/boro side, not necessarily the Derby side.

That's a big assumption on your part.

The administrators job is to reduce the debt,not keep trading whilst insolvent, the transfer window is open so they have the opportunity to reduce the day to day running costs.

Imagine if he signed for t’Blades.

The club intends to get through the season by selling to a preferred bidder.

 

And who the frigging hell is Simon Stone and who is he to say what the club has to do?

This is way way way WAY past a joke now. We are an absolute JOKE of a club. I hope MM is completely ashamed of himself

Not sure we are a JOKE of a club - I'd vent your anger at the EFL or Gibson.

Right now we are a great club with 10 points from the last possible 12.

 get the PB in then tell him to take it to arbitration/Court if he wants.

I think he’ll say: I’ll get back to you in the next 6 years.  

[Caerphilly Ram]

The date of 17th Jan is given in the bbc article I posted for Jagielka’s contract expiry

That is why the administrators are having difficulty making the club an attractive proposition to buyers, to make the club attractive they have to reduce costs, as you say we have nothing to sell but players, i am sure the creditors are watching proceedings very closely at present.

The creditors are currently going to be getting nothing or 1p in the pound at best

So jags can play tomorrow?? BBC says it’s not been renewed so he can play tomorrow?

Like we’d hear anything from them.

Quantuma just spout the same old poo over and over again.

”We’re making good progress”

”We expect a preferred bidder to be in place in the next *uses random number generator* days”

Meanwhile they are racking up a hefty bill and keeping the fans of our club worrying.
