People need to move on and forget about Ashley and be thankful David Clowes has stepped up. kevinhectoring, NottsRam77, inter politics and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although one, of course, is a consequence of the other. It is yes. The drifting away of last season's close squad is so depressing. I think if we took away the wasted CK time it may have been different but not really sure - depends what sort of business plan we are under - if they got offered more elsewhere with no garbage going on couldnt really see many staying but at least we could have perhaps got some to sign contracts so we at least have got a few small fees. Just too late to be able to do anything thanks to a combination of all the actions taken by a whole lot of people. At least the clubs moaning we got to keep players will be happy now RadioactiveWaste and angieram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one specific, just general speculation on the forum and elsewear that he's far more doing things out of a feeling of duty than he really wants to be Derby's owner. If that's really the case and Ashley really wants the club he'd have to deal with Clowes who now owns PP so it's natural that they'd talk and it's possible they'll be understnading about how things move forward. It's just something I saw in twttier and 100% not ITK. jono and Derby4Me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were told our hero (DC) had been picked up in a chopper and whisked off to a secret rendezvous vous , that might be more convincing But perhapsAshley has taken up cycling ?

I think the Clowes statement makes it pretty clear he was motivated by fear of liquidation not a desire to be owner His dad showed the same spirit some years ago Edited June 25, 2022 by kevinhectoring RoyMac5, alram, RadioactiveWaste and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldben Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Some thoughts. Rumour 1: clowes offered to buy the ground so that it would be possible for ck, to buy the club. https://washingtonlatest.com/chris-kirchner-moves-step-closer-to-completing-derby-takeover/ Rumour 2: A journalist investigated this by calling the clowes offices, and at that time, clowes denied that this was the case. He might have been unable to do anything else if there was a non disclosure agreement in place. Thought: As clowes business is a very large business developer, and might own business properties a as part of that. The ground could be considered a business asset. Thought: Clowes has an estimated net worth of 300 million, if the ground cost 20 to 25 million. Its possible there's difficultly in parting with a further 30 to 40 million to buy the actual ground. That's a decent amount of clowes total net worth, especially since much of clowes total net worth could potentially be tied up in business assets. That's unlike MA who it's rumoured has 50 million in a cash deposit available to buy Derby. Rumour 3: MA offered to partner with ck, to help purchase the club. Ck rejected the offer. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/derby-county-takeover-kirchner-ashley-7166395.amp Thought: it might be possible that ma approached clowes to offer to buy the club, now that clowes owns the ground. derby8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
