So here Quantuma are, 7 months after their appointment, appointing a PB who isn’t contractually bound to buy the club. It’s unbelievable. 
Let’s all just hope CK does the right thing by us, we are in his hands 

Not that unbelievable - it's what they announced they would be doing at the beginning of the process......

Absolutely this.

In a transfer window when Tom Cairney moves for 4 million, we buy  Bradley Johnson for 6.

We wouldn't pay a few million for Dale Stephen's or Lewis Dunk, but had no problem spending 5 million on Butterfield.

We wouldn't raise the bar for Ollie Watkins, but we're happy to pay 2 million for an ageing Nugent and probably paid him twice the wages.

Our whole recruitment under Morris was an embarrassment.

To be fair, we offered more for Stephens than Butterfield.  He wanted to come but Brighton wouldn't budge.  At that point we spent 4 million on a bloke Huddersfield signed for 300 k a year before

Actually you are right, didn't we offer 5 for Stephen's and something like 800k for Dunk.

We also tried to get Watkins when Rowett was manager but pulled out at last minute allegedly when Exeter increased the price I think .

So Mel was trying to be frugal then but it didn’t pay off .

Thats Football

Lol. Frugal would have been sticking to an affordable budget, not going over it by slightly less.

Are there any hints at chief exec or other posts yet?

Chief exec will be Gary Cooke ex Man City who Kirchner said would run the football club for him when he was in for Preston

Kirchner is founder of a company that has grown quickly. So hopefully he knows the skills of delegation and how important it is to have the right person in the right role. That will be a nice change  

Mel's major downfall putting his faith in Sam Rush the highest paid CEO in the championship at the time, and all the overpaid bang average players and a few well below average that Rush brought in on stupid wages and 4/5 year contracts, he was a major factor in Derby's downfall, unable to put my thoughts of Rush on these pages.

Sacked from Man City for inappropriate comments. Suits Kirchner though.

It was Maclaren in charge when we were in for Watkins

Garry Cook is a British sports executive, having worked for Manchester City between 2008 and 2011 and Nike between 1996 and 2008 and the mixed martial arts organization the UFC between 2012 and 2016.

n September 2011, Cook offered his resignation after insensitive email allegations towards a player's mother. The Manchester City board believed there was evidence to back the allegations and accepted his resignation on 9 September 2011. Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak thanked Cook for his efforts in transforming the club's infrastructure and direction.[8

Think it's called penny wise pound foolish more accurately 

[B4ev6is]

And hope phil will want to come back and help us in league one get is promation back to the champership.

Purely because it's what they're paid to do. They'll have discussed what position each was going to take on the matter in the advert breaks, assigned themselves roles. If they were all sat there in agreement with each other nobody would listen. The chances are the stance they take on-air is somewhat removed from the stance they'll have privately.

Possibly, but i dont even listen, i think they all get paid for talking a load of rubbish most of them.??

It's all good and well having a preferred bidder but who honestly thinks CK is going to follow through ?
