MackworthRamIsGod Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Could the admins be delaying any takeover in the hope of upping the price? Genuine question. The more chance of us stopping up the value of the club grows surely. I'd imagine any deal discussed months back were based on a league 1 club.

Ashley would be a perfect fit both for him, having local connections to the area and the club. Nights like tonight surley he must be watching thinking "I want to be part of that".

Ram a lamb a ding dong Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) My take is pretty much the same as most on here. If I were watching that tonight not only would I want to keep the players but the coaching team as well. I would be going all out to get this over the line asap. I'm sure Mel has had the advice and is willing to carry responsibility knowing full well both will drop the claims as they are likely to be counter sued due to their absolute trash claim. If they turn down the high court he knows he has them where he wants them. Cmon Mel. Go for the fuking kill. We are absolutely desperate and WR, the staff and players deserve an end to this complete baalocks Edited February 9, 2022 by Ram a lamb a ding dong r_wilcockson, Ken Tram, Rev and 6 others 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouRams Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Could Ashley fork up the money for this rumoured insurance policy as part of the buy deal, if all quant are worried about is the financial side of it that’s surely a viable option.

How much is the premium? I saw a figure of £2.5 million? 50 000 Rams chipping in £50 each ? Superb result and performance last night, one advantage of not having to integrate new players into the team, is a settled side bar injuries and red cards , Mr Stearman.

Guest Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Interesting response from an e-mail to the EFL:- "While recognising this remains a challenging time for everyone connected to the Club, the EFL’s statement (issued on Thursday 3 February here) reiterates the EFL’s request for relevant and associated parties to enter formal collaborative negotiations to actively seek out the compromises and solutions. This also includes continuing transparent dialogue with politicians and engagement with Derby Supporters’ Groups. As a point of clarification, and for the avoidance of doubt, the EFL has not declared the claims made by Middlesbrough and Wycombe as football debt, rather that under the terms of the EFL’s Insolvency Policy, the claims cannot be ignored. Put another way, the EFL cannot rule that they are not creditors as the claims may subsequently be upheld by independent process. The EFL cannot unilaterally decide if the claims should be dismissed, that is why under the terms of the EFL’s Articles of Association and Insolvency policy we are working with parties involved, and continuing to encourage them to seek to progress this matter independently, via commercial agreement, arbitration or the courts. While not the only solution, when there are disputes between Clubs, there is an arbitration mechanism as set out in our Regulations which is independent and objective, consisting of lawyers and judges, appointed to settle disputes in a fair manner. Clearly nobody wants disputes between Clubs but they will occasionally arise, be over transfer fees or player medicals for example, and the mechanism in the rules means they can be resolved independently of the League. As the statement clarifies, the EFL has reiterated this position to Quantuma, so as to enable them to apply to the High Court or engage in Arbitration to have that issue determined. It is now for the Administrators to determine how they wish to move this matter forward and we remain willing to expedite any process, as necessary. Again we do understand that this is a concerning time for Derby supporters, and the EFL will endeavour to provide updates on any progress achieved as a result of this request and any subsequent discussions in due course." 2 main points from this:- The EFL are NOT classing the Boro and WW as football debts Quantuma are in a position to the apply to the High Court Both of these seem to go against what some fans have been assuming over the past week or so.

Not an option when 8,000 fans just disappeared last night in our time of need.They probably watched it on telly , but that doesn’t help DCFC.

If, Will he want WR?, We need a year of stability 1st, Ashley coming in will stabalise DCFC, Get the finances in order, Have a sit down with whoever he chooses as Manager, Ask him what he needs, MA will then tell him what he has and work with that. For as much as these players have dug deep to get within touching distance of the greatest escape of all time, A new Manager will asses who he keeps, Who he sells, Who he gives a contract too, How many players 7-8-9 new players?, It takes time to develope a team.

That's a bit unfair to those fans who came to the Birmingham game. Lots incidentally from other clubs but many Derby fans who travelled the length of the country (and further!) to get there. Can't necessarily do the same for a midweek fixture. I appreciate anyone extra who turns up at a time when money is tight for many. There were a row of eight in front of me last night who weren't regulars. Made lots of noise and really enjoyed themselves. I hope they'll be back when they can. The DCCT initiative will make a visible increase in numbers for the Peterborough game - the first one for which it applies- and hopefully for the rest of the season. I think we're doing a good job when you look around other grounds in the division. RoyMac5, BriggRam, Foreveram and 16 others 8 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both good points but also and very importantly the arbitration mechanism they speak of (the bit in bold) is surely regarding charges brought by themselves the EFL as clearly their rules state that member clubs cannot independently pursue one another. This really needs clarifying by the EFL as they appear to be disregarding their own rules to suit themselves in their desperation for Boro not to sue them.
