Jack Stretton has pace and can cause major issues for defenders at this level. I’ve watched a lot of League 1/2 over the last few years and many defenders struggle to cope with pace. Defenders in the Prem struggle against lightning fast strikers. But Stretton has looked slow when I have seen him play. More of a Chris Martin type striker.

RadioactiveWaste Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 So, who is the bidder who will not be named? I'm hoping for wild inaccurate speculation so I'm going to go with George Clooney and the one direction bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mobile without being genuinely lightning fast, works hard, a decent finisher (although we maybe haven't seen it often enough), but not great at hold up play, and probably can't really play up front on his own. hintonsboots, Premier ram and r_wilcockson 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BramcoteRam84 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Well clearly Q are engaging with the unnamed bidders and Appleby group because they are not speaking to MA, and no other group has shown they have the money ready to go. Lets hope they’ve got something good lined up and not another Kirchner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Hopefully we are moving close to a final bid being accepted. But this whole process has been so protracted and messy that I have fears that there are still more problems to overcome before this is concluded. It seems incredible that the perpetrator of our insolvency is still in a key decision making position in regards to who will be allowed to complete the takeover. There have been concerns expressed in this thread, real or imagined, that Morris does not want Ashley to acquire the stadium. Morris appointed Q and they have no option but to deal with him as to the disposal of the stadium but Ashley has filed a claim against Q around how they have treated him in the process. I just hope that Q are going to close the bidding process with complete transparency to ensure that any perceived grievance from any party to the bid is removed. Otherwise this runaway juggernaut is likely to continue rolling to the detriment of all of us who have our club's future at heart. It is time to firmly put the lid on this can of worms once and for all. I hope I'm not falling into the trap of becoming a conspiracy theorist but we all need Q and Morris out of our lives as soon as possible. Having to suffer them is inhumane.

w8sey Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 If there is a bid that ticks the boxes just get it done. We haven't got the time to be dragging this out waiting for others to make a move.

Hmmm. There's a disproportionate number of Range Rover drivers in the Premier League vs Peugeot 105/6/8 drivers. Hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His own, money money, he was the highest paid CEO at that time, and he must have made a fair wedge from the over paid dross he signed from his agency, pray he does not show his face in Derby again.
