MackworthRamIsGod Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Probably already covered, but here goes anyway. I'm going to hope Quantuma are actually doing the right thing this time. They maybe identifying the most likely, credible buyer from those bidding and hopefully have made one of the conditions that the next chosen PB will hand over X amount of million in the form of a loan to secure their PB status. This loan enables the club to compete in and prepare for next season. The loan will most likely be paid by season ticket money. This way the debt doesn't really increase and the takeover can be completed in the background whilst the season kicks off. Hope rather than expectation. r_wilcockson, FlyBritishMidland and Caerphilly Ram 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MSD loan will still be secured against it, so the buyer will still be scrabbling around for an extra £20m+ somewhere. All it does is remove the option of someone strong-arming Morris into forking something out for it. And if you're talking about taking the stadium, but still leaving the MSD loan in Morris's hands, there's no way MSD will allow that as they have a security charge against it.

The issue with leaving it late to make a purchase of DCFC is it’s not like a normal business- performance on the field will be affected with points deductions, reduced squad etc. No he wouldn't have bought by now. He is an experienced businessman. He is not going to be first out the blocks trying to buy a distressed business asset. He will wait until there are no other options to get it as cheap as is possible. He won't care about performance. What matters is the potential of the deal.

If the last few years of EFL intercessions taught us anything it's that their assistance is absolutely the superhighway to a sustainable future. I fully agree that Quantuma really should make room in their Holborn HQ for Rick and Trev to hotdesk daily if required. I mean look at the speed with which they sanctioned us in the first place. Only three years after the event. Then the 2 years it took them to find a few blokes who actually thought we'd done something wrong. Then the blinding rapidity of their dealing with Gibbo and Cowpig's grievances. How anyone could doubt that they'd soon have this mess sorted is utterly beyond me.

What matters is the potential of the deal. Of course he will care about performance. Also, EFL won’t let this run and run. They could pull the plug very soon. If Derby are looking like they are headed for league 2, I doubt Mike Ashley will be that keen. The point is, if he really wanted DCFC he would be the owner by now. No question.

Currently we have paid our way, haven't reduced salaries of players or missed payments without an agreement with the creditors. We are allowed to be in Admin until March 23. Our options going into the season (in admin) 1) we keep funding the club month by month, keep contracted players and make the rest of the team up of youth players. 2) Provide proof the club can continue to trade for the full season on a break even budget, this will allow us to sign players externally, for example bringing in the likes of Morrison/Fozzy/Davies again as long as they are happy with £4k a week again.
