After being on and off this forum and Twitter all day I was going to give it a rest for tonight.....but suspect I'll now be dipping back in again later in the vain hope of a Eureka moment.

Maybe Mel is using one of his other companies to buy it from himself again.

Sorry this is all just speculation probably due in part to my glass half empty demeanour

3/4 empty ?

Just charge 10p to refresh this page - I'd already be in for about a quarter of the stadium loan.

Brilliant!!

For the youngsters.... Whenever a manager lost his job, Alan Curbishley would always be listed as an outsider. But I don't think he ever got another job after leaving Charlton.

Got it! Knock the assembly rooms down and………

I think I’d be able to buy Chelsea with some to spare.

Whoever it is… what a legend.

This saga has had me in knots. Within hours of bad news we have hope, within hours of hope we have bad news.

Wasn't he at West Ham for a bit..?

Yes, for a couple of seasons left in 2008, but as @IslandExile correctly pointed out, he is in the betting for every managerial job that comes up, despite being out for 14 years.

I've heard it's a Derby fan from Grimsby. Apparently he's done brilliantly from a website he owns. 5 million hits on one thread alone.

Not imperative that you have to be bald to own PP

Thats ok going to Stoke and Leicester for the younger fans, but for older fans and young children it will be a no go. They will lose a lot of fans if that happens, me included after 55 years i am sorry to say. 

Kath, I get what you are saying but I don’t think it’s an age thing. There is a “home” crowd and an away crowd in every football club in the land. The home crowd of all ages will diminish by 80/90% if we aren’t playing at “home” We will all still be fans but we won’t be at as many games.

Could rooney be buying pp from mel fingers crossed.

Interesting suggestion. If there is a gap between MM and CK, it’s not beyond the realms that Stretford would persuade WR to help fill it. 
 

Personally I think the ground purchase by local business worthies is a more likely outcome. Don’t think the Council have the wherewithal for this sort of cut and thrust. And 15-20 m for a group of those guys is not a stretch and they could even make money on it 

This will get done B4 and you deserve to be in the room when it happens  ?

No, but it does help to have a side kick who you can blame when things go wrong.  In fact, has anyone  ever seen @Boycie and Stephen Pearce in the same room?

[TuffLuff]

Horton the obvious guess, interestingly keeps in some sort of line with @Derby5hire tweets from a while back too…

Feels like we are getting towards a season finale which is going to last…ooo 48 hours?

Buzzing this evening after feeling pretty rotten this morning, up the rams.
