Andrew3000 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 14 minutes ago, Tombo said: Right this may have been answered and it might sound a bit too pragmatic when I should be celebrating Does anyone know how exactly the club and the stadium are in relation now? Does Clowes own the Gellaw company that owns Pride Park, then the club separately? Only the club statement says that "the club has been brought under the ownership structure as the stadium". Does that mean they will remain separate entities owned by Clowes or will the stadium be transferred away from that Gellaw rubbish? Because that was the issue this time that the stadium didn't go into administration? Sorry, couldn't resist. jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 7 minutes ago, Ramos said: I’m just guessing cause I’m no expert but I imagine as he bought the company that own the stadium and the holding company of the club, as part of the transaction he’s brought it all under one group? I could be completely wrong. I think that the future structure will become clearer in the coming weeks. If, as David Clowes has indicated he would welcome, further investors come into the club, there will be a share distribution. Maybe then we will see how the stadium and the club knit together.

I suspect all will become clear once Companies House updates on 'The Derby County Football Club Limited' - but given what's happened with the Stadium company (Gellaw 502) already, I would expect both it and TDCFC Ltd would both be controlled by Totem Newco, for the time being at least. Whether there are any plans to bring the asset back into TDCFC, unknown. I've no idea how this would work within P&S. But that's for another time. This is nothing more than educated guesswork, mind.

BarrowRam Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I just want to say a massive thank you to David Clowes for saving Derby county. Thankfully the nightmare is over and we can all look forward to a bright future for the rams.

Howard Canitbé Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Very rarely comment but couldn't resist after reading some of the moving posts by others on here. Have spent all morning greedily devouring every post since the announcement yesterday, I just can't get enough. It's been an absolutely torrid couple of years, but the way this darkness has galvanised everybody who cares about the club has been incredible to behold. It's brought together the city in an age where the country is divided, it's shown the pride that exists and how important it is to the identity of the people of Derby. The march before the Birmingham game is something I'll never forget and will always be proud to have been a part of. The Bielek bicycle kick made me lose my mind in delirious happiness and joy in a way that no bottom of the table, 2nd division, mid season game has a right to do. Extremely early days but I can't believe how lucky we seem to have gotten with David Clowes. No fuss, no drama, just got on with buying the stadium before anybody knew they were even involved. Keen to shun the limelight, a breath of fresh air after the previous owner. High hopes for the future. Long live Derby County Football Club. Up the Rams.

Leeds Ram Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 With Clowes we're on the right track lads!! This was one of my dad's favorites, as many others on here have testified, football has been a family game for them and so it was for me. Many of my best memories with my dad were at the football, I hope he's having a pint up there and a celebratory cigarette too.

The unpicking of the group structures was no doubt part of the "extremely complex" nature of the transaction. And given all that transpired I'd be flabbergasted if it was entirely down to sensible business arrangement......... What form it is as of now I'm not sure, but DC owns all the aspects and hopefully he's intending to form the group into a sane and rational structure. jono and derby8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodypecker Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) Imagine the roar at 2:55 pm on 30th July, when the new Rams' team comes out of the tunnel! Yes - teams will see DCFC as their Cup Final, we will see negative tactics from them and spoof results while the team consolidates - but we fans can also blast opposition into submission from our sheer passion, and we will make a few teams wilt! Maybe we can boast 18,000 - 20,000 S/T holders....that's 3 times the attendances that most L1 teams will get, anyroadup!
