The deal.is dead, quicker we realise this the better This assumes MM would prefer liquidation to a deal that involves him and the Council both paying say 10m to MSD I know he’s hotheaded but I just can’t see it Or are you saying MM has done a deal with Ashley ? jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seths-cap Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Keep your stadium. Darley parks only 10 minutes out of town. Camping chair and a 4 pack from the offy on the way down… sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimtastic56 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Good luck to Chris on his first day in charge of our finances. He has shown real nerve in this most difficult time. I can’t believe that Derby city council would let DCFC leave the area. Some of the estimates have been a bit wild as to the income benefit to the region. But that money could now go to a city like Stoke. Kathcairns, Miggins, r_wilcockson and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't they have to pay market value + a small % though, which at the last assessment was > £80m ? Ram-Alf and jimtastic56 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps but personally I fear, in this situation, it would be an abuse of the CPO system and not really what it’s designed for. Ram-Alf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balance sheet net assets way less than 0, so no value there. On a future income less expenditure basis doesn't look great, can't think there are many profitable L1 clubs. So 0 sounds about right.

one_chop Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 For Logistic reasons Stoke would be the easiest ground share. However it's all irrelevant. Enjoy making history attending the last game. For those saying I'm hoping for liquidation you couldn't be more wrong. Going to the match is my only escape from such a mundane life.

Process much too long I think. And they would have to pay fair value when they hope to get it for much less Ram-Alf and jimtastic56 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t get this argument! Surely,Notts County ,only 15 miles away,with a ground capacity of 20k would be a better bet? Also founder members of the Football League.I know the grief we’d get in Nottingham but,hell’s teeth who wants to play at Stoke on a Tuesday night? jimtastic56 and Patrick Rams 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having done both grounds,the Notts County one,of the two options,has more appeal,despite the Nottingham scenario.Stoke’s stadium with the cutaway corners is freezing and that’s in Summer!
