Ramarena Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 1 hour ago, Brailsford Ram said: I learned 10 minutes ago from someone who I trust as reliable and who is well placed on the fringe of all of this, that there are ongoing negotiations between David Clowes and Andy Appleby as to joint investment in the club but Clowes is leading his own bid. If Clowes acquires it, it could quickly become a partnership with Appleby bringing in his experience of the football world. Sounds sensible I think. This would be an excellent development. People who want the best for the club, working together to try and make it happen and give us a brighter future. Much better than some vulture capitalist trying to force the process for their own gain. I hope your info turns out to be correct.

Just sayin'! Dear Killjoy ? Absolutely not. As people and supporters of Derby County they are complete polar opposites. David Clowes is not an egomaniac. He is a quite modest and private person despite his business success, just like his father before him. He is also truthful and on taking over the club he will have no need to re-invent himself as a lifelong supporter of the club - unlike Mel he has been a supporter since boyhood. Mel did not go to watch Derby until well after the Millennium and his claim to have been a boyhood fan was utter BS. I never enjoyed Morris being our owner and my fears came to devastating fruition. But in contrast I welcome David Clowes as our owner with open arms because I am certain he will bring stability. He modestly sits as a season-ticket holder in the North Stand. So at last, if he completes his takeover bid, at long last we will again have an owner who truly is one of our own. I can't wait for the season tickets to go on sale.

Eatonram Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Please get season tickets on sale asap. There is a crest of a wave to be ridden. £5m could be in the coffers within 10 days. An opportunity for supporters to show support and goodwill immediately would be great. Carnero, Carl Sagan and jimtastic56 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topram Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 With Clowse bidding today do we think he’s probably already got a price sorted or do we think others may now bid also just for the club? Derby4Me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel is still one of our major creditors, so surely would have a say in any deal struck with creditors to exit administration We can’t know for sure but I think MM is properly gone His remaining claims are in the nosebleed section of the group structure chart We do know DC now owns 202 and I can’t believe he bought it with remaining claims from MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
