Miggins Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Just got in the car, switched Radio Derby on and heard the presenter say, 'And the breaking news is that Robert Maxwell is the new owner of Derby County.' Just for a second my jaw hit the floor and I feared I was in the middle of one of those Mandela moments that Carl explained earlier! History of the Rams broadcast of course. ?

Fingers crossed that an Appleby\Morgan v Ashley battle doesn’t distract Q from getting a deal across the line. The number of interested parties has to be good news.

Perhaps but the only criteria for Q is the best deal for the creditors, I agree, two may now have become one we can only hope that the joining of the two provides a single deeper pocket ? ?

That seemed a very rational choice. Both appear to be a similar type of person. I view both options - Ashley and this pair - as excellent in their own ways, but would be very different. The former would be very austere around the edges, but he is going to want success at the same time so primed investment after a consolidation period; I think Ashley, for his faults, likes being a football club owner and would care about the club, should we not threaten him every time he comes to PP like at SJP. I think the latter would be a longer consolidation period with a focus on very long term organic development.

Is that as well as or instead of the £60m bid Appleby put in? Seems to me like even at this late stage no one really knows whats going on. Meanwhile the clock keeps ticking, we have 1 kit (on order), 5 players (loaning 1 out) no pre-season friendlies and a rapidly approaching new season...

Billy Davies has always done a good job at getting sides promoted, whilst Billy Davies would be a lot cheaper. Billy Davies' "evening proclivities" should not distract from what Billy Davies can do as a manager. GboroRam and Phoenix 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnero Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 (edited) Why do people keep trotting out the line "we have 5 players" when the retained list clearly shows we have more than that ? Clearly we need at least a dozen players added to the first team squad, but Byrne, Buchanan, Bielik, Bird, Knight, Sibley & Stretton is 8 not 5. Cashin, Watson & Thompson will soon be added to that list too in all likelihood.

Jeez it goes up by £10 mil every day, we’ll be more expensive than Chelsea if it goes on much longer!
