With his wealth he could have bought us in December prior to selling all our better players and we could possibly have added to the squad to give us a better chance of staying up?! I know he buys failing businesses for the lowest price but surely the outlay (even in December) would have been minimal if we then got promoted to the Premier League and what the value of the club would have been then? Well said. I don't think MA cares about us as a club at all, just wants to buy a team at a knock down price to have a stadium named sports direct arena CBRammette, jimtastic56 and Kathcairns 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodypecker Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Bear in mind, that tonight at 6 pm on Radio Derby, there is another episode of pre-recorded Derby County Story - so anyone anticipating another hour of updates, conjecture or actual statements from such a Q, Kirchner or the corralled clique of administration 'experts' and journo-bloggers, will be disappointed. No surprise there. F.F.S. : FANS. WANT. ANSWERS. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I will play "double or quits"..... I predict that tomorrow will be "make or break" as far as CK's bid is concerned and that we will hear about it. Initially from many different sources and then, finally, around 4:30pm from Quantuma themselves. I just hope it will be positive news. Are you seriously expecting no puns tomorrow?

Turk Thrust Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 31 minutes ago, Kathcairns said: What he does is on his conscience not mine, but if he eventually sold our club to them i would be finished football and ive loved the rams since th 60,s so that would be hard to do, but football is not as enjoyable now. Too much playacting, rolling about in agony when nothing wrong with them. Dosnt bother me not being in the prem as long as we watch the team and coaching staff and fans all together like last season, and i cant see that with MA, but thats only my opinion and i realise that which you dont seem to do. Hmm. Sorry but I can’t really see the moral difference between MA selling Newcastle to the Saudis, and CK playing in a Saudi sponsored golf tournament.

Arsene Titman Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 8 minutes ago, TuffLuff said: Between Nixon, Dawes and Percy I think it’s relatively straightforward to navigate what’s currently happening. Exclusivity should have ended yesterday, with Ashley and Appleby being interested in refreshing bids. Admins have extended the exclusivity to process the funds but are open to that ending of the money isn’t forthcoming soon. Personally, and maybe less straightforward. I think Nixon is annoyed he’s lost the narrative. He held back the info about exclusivity ending which allowed Dawes in on what was a pretty big development. Ed took it and ran with it, releasing info that Kirchner’s side probably didn’t want to be released publicly. Nixon has then spent the best part of the last couple of days trying to claw it back, to the point he went on talksport at 6.30 this morning letting more info out then he would usually write in the paper. Everyone’s narrative is somewhat correct, but I do think Nixon held back an important bit of info Derby fans needed to know and has been caught out because of it I heard Ed Dawes live releasing the news about exclusivity. I went on Twitter immediately and found that John Percy had released the same news 2 minutes earlier. Unless I am missing something, Nixon has not said that CK exclusivity is withdrawn.
