Sparkle Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I know he has been the reason we became a financial mess but I can see why Mel Morris chucked the towel in when trying to deal with the EFL who appear to have no interest in actually helping clubs when they need it. The EFL do not care about supporters, community’s or the integrity of the game in fact they have become poison to many football clubs.

No, if there is no realistic prospect of a realistic bid they have no choice. They have received realistic bids but things need sorting first like Gibson and the Efl. These things are taking longer than they should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hope to have some positive news imminently or within the next 48 hours or two working days. "We remain confident of resolving the challenges facing the club very soon. Our inability to provide proof the club can fulfill its fixtures should not cause any undue alarm. We are seeking ways to extricate ourselves from this raging bin fire. We have full confidence in the exciting under-12 players that Wayne and his coaching team are bringing through to the first team. Also, our exclusive opportunity to buy office furniture and copper wiring stripped from the build fabric is now also open to bidders" jimtastic56, hintonsboots, kevinhectoring and 4 others 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Contain Nuts Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 25 minutes ago, Black ('n' White) Sheep said: Apparently Man Utd were willing to help WR out by loaning us players without a fee... how about they now help us out as a club by signing someone (anyone at this point... Knight, Sibbo, everyone will be on the table) for £5m-£6m to see us through the end of the season? A decent price for players with the potential to be good Prem players in the future?... and we still get to exist. The EFL would probably block the deal and claim we were selling at an artificially inflated price jimtastic56 and Black ('n' White) Sheep 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BramcoteRam84 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I think we need to see the Quantuma statement before we can make any judgment. If Ashley is involved, and I’m sure he is as there is too much noise about it. This is going to get a whole lot more painful before it gets better. r_wilcockson, David Graham Brown, GB SPORTS and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyMac5 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 So the BBC Derby site has comments like this: Quote However, hopes of a deal being struck are hampered by outstanding legal cases against Derby involving Middlesbrough and Wycombe. Should these eventually go against the club, any compensation would be regarded as a 'football' debt and need to be paid in full. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone especially the Efl refer to the integrity of the League I will have to shoot them. when the Efl has Ridsdale on its board they clearly can’t preach to us about integrity .

Wolfie20 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Given his previous connections to our Club, i wonder what part Trevor Birch is playing regarding the actions being taken by the EFL. We must have really upset him over something in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really does not logically help the likelihood of them getting money. Acceptance from the Derby side of this is a very bad thing going forward if we're going to challenge them. That's the power play on this side of things. The other side is, there is no money until someone buy us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
