The Administration Thread


Boycie

Recommended Posts

Full version to Hotel California 

 

On a dark Derby motorway

Cool wind in my hair

Warm smell of liquidation

Rising up through the air

Up ahead in the distance

I saw Pride Park lights

My heart grew heavy and my patience wore thin 

I had to stop for the night

There Quantuma stood in the doorway

I heard the missing Mel

And I was thinking to myself

This could be Heaven or this could be Hell

Then they lit up a candle

And Mel showed me the way

There were voices down the corridor

I thought I heard them say

 

Welcome to the Derby Administration 

Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)

Such a fall from grace

Plenty of room at the Derby administration 

Any time of year (any time of year)

All them oh so nears

 

Mel’s mind is definitely twisted

He’s got the Mercedes Benz

He got a lot of wealthy, wealthy boys

He calls friends

How they dance at the Moor farm

Sweet administrative debt

Some dance to remember

Some dance to forget

 

So I called up the Captain

Please give me a sign

He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here"

"Since 1969"

And still those voices are calling from far away

Wake you up in the middle of the night

Just to hear them say

 

Welcome to the Derby administration 

Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)

Such a fall from grace

They livin' it up at the Derby administration 

What a bad surprise (what a bad surprise)

Bring their alibis

 

Kirchner on the dealing

The yank champagne on ice

And he said, 'We are all just swindlers here"

"Of our own device"

And in the Quantumas chambers

They gathered for the cash

They count it with their beady eyes

But they just may have been a tad rash

 

Last thing they remember, he was

Running for the door

Q had to find the passage back

To the place we were before

"Relax,” said the sly man

"We are programmed to deceive"

"You can buy-out any time you like"

"But we’ll never leave!"

For the first time I am genuinely worried for the clubs future. I can’t see how we keep the golden share since Kirchner has wasted so much time. 

Probably have to wait a year for a Phoenix club. Really struggling to see a way out of this now. I think Mel Morris has killed DCFC. Hope I’m wrong but probably in the balance. Gutted about this now

Rooney could go now after he and Stretford backed CK. Compensation - probably 1 years wages £1.2 million.But a manager like Mowbray could use that to rebuild. Up to the new owners.

croc tears if he left, new owners may want their own man, fully compliant with their wishes.

I always quote that Hotel California lyric to my Rangers fan acquaintance ?

Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice
And she said, 'We are all just prisoners here"
"Of our own device"
In Quantuma's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast

And the League 2 promise seems to have disappeared now. 
 

Quantuma need to accept a credible offer, and from what I can see it can only be Ashley or we risk a 4th failed buyer

This will get worse before it get's better.  Negotiations like this need to go to the wire.  People like Ashley know what they are doing, and everyone thinks they can get a better price until it is manifest they cannot.  He is waiting to give people two choices: get paid something or get paid nothing.  

The sooner we reach that point the better, as it will be hard - but it is the one shot at sustainable survival we have.

Very unfortunate back to front wording of better and worse

Don’t worry one chop has said it 1000000000 times, so you’ve got a long way to go before it becomes a reality.

I think it’s like what @CBX1985 has said it needs a pinch point to make things move.

6-8 other bidders according to Ed Dawes in a new BBC article. How do we have more bidders now than we’ve had throughout the entire process? Surely we’ve become less desirable?!

Maybe those prat’s at Q are now actively engaging with real prospective owners and finally have their heads out of the R-Soles with power games and their PBs (cause that’s worked out well)
