What's the bet on Ashley buying the club after liquidation,don't think he is interested in the club,more the ground

The ground is worthless without a team playing on it isn’t it?  And a team playing in non-league football ain’t going to be able to pay the rent needed to make it economically viable.

If people are thinking he might want to knock it down and stick a massive SportsDirect on it, then think about the cost of buying the site, demolition costs, new build costs and then think whether it would be worth it to get another sports shop in Derby.  They aren’t building massive supermarkets anymore so that’s out and - even if it was viable- it would never get permission for housing. Offices and industry just don’t bring the value and there is no market (hence why a petrol station was probably built on the gas holder  site).

Nah, just don’t see why anybody would be thinking of buying the ground as an investment opportunity separate from the football club.

Doesn't have to pay the administrators or any other creditors,the ground is worth more than the club.

Yes, but to what end? What’s the point in buying a ground with nobody to play in it, or have I missed your point?

The EFL are just the representative committee for all the member clubs. Their job is to make sure the rules and regulations which the members have put together are exacted. When you talk of the EFL you are talking about all 72 clubs. Why should 1 club be able to make the rules up as they go along? Bury didn’t have any of the chances we’ve had. Mel Morris is 100% calpable, no one else! 

Agreed - Morris is culpable re: his decision to ditch the club - but don't disregard EFL's negative influence, their history with MM as a provocateur, cited League delays and acquiescence over novel parasite claims, and the time-vampires at EFL HQ who sucked the days and weeks out of the club, Q and bidders to make relegation inevitable. 

Morris consigned the club to the vultures from every direction - but others including Parry & cronies, Gibson, Cowpig drove their bulldozers to our survival chances on and off the field since September.

Hey ho, rants don't solve owt and so we're left to second-guess and fret the days away.

So to catch up...

- Kirchner bid is virtually dead in the water especially if the details re. his other businesses are true.

- Appleby and Morgan bids are 'not easily resurrectable'.

- Admins won't talk to Ashley.

Why didn't I support Liverpool or Man Utd as most of my friends did when I was back in primary school!

 

You would miss all the drama it would be lost amongst all those titles and cups

If he was that interested in saving the club he could have stepped in months ago and avoided all this,he may have reasons for wanting the ground,it is alleged he has been in dialogue with the EFL,why,would be interesting.

Push comes to shove the EFL then have to decide wether they want to save DCFC and let Ashley takeover it or let us liquidate and lose a big chunk of money. The EFL will force the admins to accept the Ashley deal. He’s just adding pressure and hoping someone cracks 

Could whoever paid the wages pay the admin fees and everyone is happy?
