Rev Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 As far as I was aware, Mel pumped his money into Derby County Football Club indirectly, by purchasing shares in a holding company. This holding company then invested the money from Mel into the club, so leaving the club debt free as far as Morris is concerned. Obviously this may have stopped at some point, as we can't see the accounts we can't tell how we were funded (or not) in more recent years. I'm not sure he's got the leverage people assume, if the debt isn't owed by the club. After all, that was surely the point in funding us that way.

But its the exclusivity period that needs extending. Don't really want Kirchner dropping out now otherwise probably bye bye to rooney and nearly all the players.

Because Musk is a big “I AM” like Trump, and recognises that there is a ready made mob on Twitter who are small I AM’s Now, that’s not to say Musk isn’t a ground breaker with vision; but he is undoubtedly a “type” and no matter how clever or inspired, like Twitter, I find him an unpleasant bully who’s content is of questionable value.

IslandExile Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) So... The Administrators (bless 'em) said they had secured funding to see the season out. That finished yesterday. Kirchner has said the deal needed to be concluded by 7 May (yesterday) so that he could start writing the cheques. With the "impasse" in place and no solution around the corner, there's every chance CK will pull out. So..... How is the club currently funded? Indeed, is it currently funded? Rooney said this 24-48 hours is critical. Is it fatal? Are we now facing liquidation. When does Kirchner return to the States? The "third party" won't be able to purchase the ground before he goes. So I guess that's the end of his bid. That leaves this supposed late bid from Ashley. But why would he offer more than CK if neither think the club is worth the debt? He wouldn't but he could offer Mel more and the creditors less, which means the 15 point deduction. This nightmare is about to build into a crescendo.
