Gee SCREAMER !! Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 1 hour ago, RipleyRich said: Much of the value is relative to assets. I have no idea what Ipswich have, Stadium, Training Facility, maybe other property and land. Newcastle owned a lot of land prior to MA buying the club. A lot of the land was sold off and is being redeveloped. Derby County has little in the form of assets. No Stadium, doesn't own the land at the Training Facility (leased from Locko Estate), barely any players etc The monies being asked for the club is literally to clear debt. The club has little or no value in the grand scheme of things. Any buyer needs the Stadium to try and make the figures stack up in terms of payback. Obviously the revenue that can be generated from matchdays and other usage. I know that just a few years ago, the club income included over £1m a year from the Renewable Heat Incentive for using Biomass Heating at the Stadium (and at Moor Farm). Who gets that revenue now? How much land around the Stadium is owned by the Stadium owner? How much of that could be sold and redeveloped? The Stadium is critical to the clubs value going forward and therefore to a sale so far as I can see. They sold a big chunk of that to JJB sports last time they were in the poo. The car park belonged to the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's spent his money on sponsoring the OTIB Derby relegation page. There product and clientele perfectly fit his brand name.

vonwright Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 If the club was "worth" £50million we wouldn't be in this mess. The administrators wouldn't be squeezing the small number of interested parties for every penny, and we wouldn't all be pleading with Morris to do the right thing and soak up a £20million loss. How much other clubs have sold for isn't really relevant: different circumstances, different short and long term prospects, different reasons for buyers having an interest, different assets. Read the market: we aren't worth £50million. The consensus seems to be we are worth about £30million - and that's if you include a stadium which we were assured was worth upwards of £80million. Morris needs to understand this isn't a negotiation - it's a request for him to cough up a very large sum in order to gift the stadium and stop the club he claims to love slipping into oblivion, because of his own recklessness. Perhaps he won't (or can't) do that, but let's at least have some honesty. If the club goes bust no one is going to pat him on the back for his tough negotiating skills and tell him "You were right to walk away, the club was worth so much more than bidders were offering!" They'll be no club, devastated fans, and he'll still owe MSD £20million. Derby4Me, rammieib, jimtastic56 and 4 others 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawhillram Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) Future Not looking very good at the moment. Hopefully it’s just speculation and all is being sorted behind the scenes, but I’m not that hopeful. The stadium is the key.

Miggins Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Closing down and sale notices all over the large Sports Direct store in Burton. Perhaps MA is going to open a SD megastore at Pride Park.

MM takes a hit which he doesn’t seem to want to do yet or we start next season with minus 15, something Im not interested in either of a new owner thinks that’s a good way to engage with a fan base. The bidders won't be overly concerned about engaging with the fan base if it costs them money to avoid the - 15 points,as many have pointed out so long as the club is saved they will keep going.

MM mistakes put us in this position yet us supporters get to be the main ones suffering, sort it out MM or things start getting very difficult for you I suspect in so many ways that I don’t wish to even think about.

Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 As has been said before, if the sticking point really is MM and his stadium demands, then we really need to start looking at other options. Leave MM with a 34,000 all-seater stadium with nothing happening in it and approach Stoke or Leicester for a temporary ground share. It'd be sad to not be playing in Derby, but the club needs to survive. RadioactiveWaste, AndyinLiverpool and jimtastic56 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
