PistoldPete Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 14 minutes ago, RoyMac5 said: " Former Derby County chairman Andy Appleby is not in talks with ex-Wolves owner Steve Morgan over a collaboration that would see them join forces over a takeover. Reports over the weekend suggested the duo were contemplating teaming up to launch a joint bid for the club which has been in administration for the last nine months. But sources have told Derbyshire Live that is not the case and Appleby is continuing to launch his own pursuit of a deal for the Rams..." Is Morgan also in the running on his own? Unlucky Alf cannot be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Brolly Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 No joint super bid ,Q looking for loans and no progress with appleby for 6 days it doesn't look very promising let's hope for some good news soon. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as we know, any bids agreed towards the end of last year were contingent on Quantuma being able to cram-down the 'Boro and Wycombe claims to nothing. As soon as the EFL vetoed that, the bids were basically irrelevant, as no one was willing to risk buying us with those claims still in play.

The new buyer could be forced to stump up millions they hadn't budgeted for, or even worse, buy a club only for it to be kicked out of the league a few months later.

I didn’t imagine other clubs wouldn’t get their money but why do other creditors have to be paid by the method the EFL have said, why can’t it be over five years or ten years so long as they get it?

The actual Bury fc who own the name, etc still havent started playing again as far as i am aware. If we have to phoenix we will be starting right at the bottom of the league pyramid No chance of that happening... Says me. A club as big as Derby is more likely to start in the National League at worst. This is unlikely to happen anyway, supposing it does? The supporter base would likely decline. Other supporters started Phoenix clubs 'Just in case' but the egos of the owners usually take over. Coventry United is one such club. They started way down the non-league structure and were promoted several times in their first 5 years. Were it not for Covid they would have gone up another tier as well. The original owners have now left. So this talk of a Phoenix club is positive but also a distraction at the same time. In Coventry's case the decision to start a Phoenix Club was a red herring because the Club did not resemble Coventry City. I still think Derby will survive. It's getting tougher by the day but something will happen. This club was formed with part-timers, no established structure and attendances of about 1000 at the start.... 13–14 Midland Combination Div.

I think there’s far more chance of success if you’re dwarfing your opponents tbh. If at level 8 we have income of 15,000 people and all our opponents have 500 attendees and we can’t win the league then even I’ll give up at that stage.

I can, He was in the running when I posted a couple of weeks ago to be the new owner, Things went very quiet, He is allegedly according to reports back in the mix along with 1-8 other interested parties. Until a prospective owner sits down in front of the TV cameras and announces they have a bid on the table then all the information we read is from a 2nd- 3rd-4th-5th parties, Pub/golf talk, Twitter, Instagram, Rabid journalists that come out of the woodwork after having been invisible for 6 months, $hyte press releases from Q and the EFL, Bob Desert from Sky and any other Tom-Dick and Ducking Harry. The best being imo, Lawrence playing golf with the yank so this must mean the yank is back in the fold, I see us kicking off with a threadbare underfunded squad of old and very young players just to fulfil next seasons fixtures in a RENTED stadium owned by MM jimtastic56, Animal is a Ram and Elwood P Dowd 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
