Joke! Petra’s father is an estate agent opposite the local hospital in Blansko, her mother is the town’s registrar. It’s a town in the midst of a huge area of woods, our son takes his mountain bike across, and regularly gets lost in the woods, no horizon. Yes a nice place filled with very friendly people, but sooo tall, Petra is 6’ so are her sisters, her dad is 6’ 8”, our son is 6’ 3” we are both 5’ 8”. Gulliver in reverse.

Mucker1884 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Quote Here's how things stand at the moment... Government challenged On the day of the deadline for Derby County to report to the EFL, Labour has today written to government minister Nadine Dorries calling on her to act now to prevent more clubs from suffering the same fate. Derby could be liquidated and thrown out of the EFL if they cannot find a buyer by the end of February. Labour’s shadow culture secretary, Lucy Powell, has written to the culture secretary saying: “Football clubs are more than businesses. “They’re great sources of pride in our towns and communities” but Derby is “just the most recent example of an historic club facing disaster”. https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/derby-county-takeover-mike-ashley-6647343 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmo’s left foot Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 The football clubs also have a responsibility too, they are the ones paying downright stupid and unaffordable wages to players. That's why they are in the mire. archram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IslandExile Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I'm losing my mind, let alone losing track of all of this. Is the end of Feb a real deadline, set by the EFL, for us to prove that we have funding for the remainder of the season? OR is it just a supposition based on the Administrators declaring a PB will be announced within 10 working days of the Morris-Gibson accord (which I make would have been last Friday)? If the latter, I think we all now take the Administrators' deadlines with a mountain of salt. But if it's the former - i.e. from the EFL - then that could be serious, though I have no doubt it will be extended. In any case, the club and/or the Administrators should be providing an update. Are there any meetings planned for this week - that we know about - between fans groups, the EFL and the Administrators? If so, perhaps that's when we will hear something. Perhaps....

Gritstone Tup Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 17 hours ago, Seth's left foot said: So you have no faith in Mike Ashley getting his PR man to give an interview confirming his interest? At this late stage he will be well aware of what it will take to steady the ship. I expect his announcement as the PB tomorrow ? Mike Ashley will only buy businesses for a pittance and then run it on a shoestring to make a profit. DCFC can’t be bought for nothing and it’s very difficult to make a profit. I don’t consider him a serious solution for our predicament. Gaspode, GB SPORTS and Derby4Me 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
