Expect the club to announce trials for players on the Racecourse for next Tuesday night.

CBX1985 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Interesting. Again, what is £50m - how much for stadium, creditors and what is investment in the future? Yet, I keep saying: they are all waiting until the end; but the end is coming and they are waiting. I do think MA would be a good owner. He was too business minded for NUFC, who want everything yesterday. i think we could learn to love him.

IslandExile Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I think with all this talk of rival bids, deadlines in the background, legal actions by players, embargoes, the EFL whims and so on, that it may be useful to consolidate everything we currently know about the situation.

Rumours have been going since the start that Appleby struggled to raise funds with investors pulling out. I’d take either. But I’d be more than happy if it was Ashley. ? This is talking about last time. Can't see this attempt being any different: "While Ashley and Morgan both have experience of running football clubs, Appleby has specific interest in running Derby. He served as chairman of the club between the years of 2008 and 2015, and has recently spoken about that experience. “Even though Derby is a relatively tiny place in England, we routinely had over 30,000 fans coming to our games,” he told The Capital Club podcast at the start of the month. “That was a great experience, I had recruited a tremendous ownership group, just some of the most salt of the earth people you can imagine, several US team owners as part of that. “This group of people came from everywhere, from Lebanon to Hong Kong, to Guatemala to Calgary to Beverly Hills and yet we were all kind of the same in the sense of we’re all good guys and good people and we all were adults and understood how things worked.” The businessman also outlined the challenges that came with running a team in the English football leagues. It means he will know some of the things that could face him should a takeover bid be successful. “I mean, that said, I will tell you it’s a heck of a challenge to run an English football team because you’re quite a way away from it,” he added. “In our case we had very capable people running it that I had recruited along the way. “The great news about owning a team there is that the fans really, really care and the downside of that is that the fans really, really care. So, when you win you're floating on air, when you lose, both from an ownership and a fan perspective, people want to jump off the highest building. “All in all, it was a great experience, despite the massive lows and some of the massive highs. I went to half the home games over that period and I tried to live it as much as I could and we again had a lot of success, particularly at the end when we were competing to get into the Premier League.” Dordogne-Ram, r_wilcockson, Kathcairns and 5 others 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eatonram Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I'm sure we can all see the stupidity in this, in that Ashley could have spent the same amount in December and possibly kept us up......but the Boro issues torpedoed that. we won't forget Gibson. richinspain, Derby4Me, Dordogne-Ram and 10 others 1 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no, no - that's not how it's done. Please send those funds to the USA and then back to a European Clearing Bank, then on to lawyer's client account, then they'll be ready.
