If EFL had any they'd take a big stick to Derby who having argued in court that Pride Park was 'worth' £81m has just seen it sold for £22m. Yeah, their owner would never write off any loans to the club to avoid any financial penalt... oh, wait. Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crewton Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 This bloke makes Mr Ploppy look well balanced : I must have missed that particular Court appearance we made. Someone should explain the concept of a Buyer's Market to him, though it might be an impossible job even in words of one syllable.

Keepyuppy Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 What a topical plank says, when they dont know anything about it at all - the salr price has been agreed as the amount of mortgage debt on the Stadium and not the value of it ? angieram and Crewton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggins Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) I don't know whether this has been posted or not, but there was an interview this morning on Radio Derby with several of the people David Clowes worked with when he was a Captain flying 747's. They said that he was the complete opposite to our previous owner. Comments included was that he 'was one of the nicest men ever met.' 'Nothing was too much trouble for him.' He still enjoys flying. 'He was an absolute gentleman' and 'a thoroughly good man.' 'No airs and graces'. 'Genuinely nice man.' 'Loved the cups of tea I made for him.' 'Brilliant pilot'. One of his ex-colleagues said that having spent his early days on the terraces at the Baseball Ground, he'll find it hard if he can't watch the games from the terraces any more. I thought it was nice to hear what those who have previously worked with him thought about him. Seems he was highly liked and regarded. I hope that all of this augers well. I'm certainly encouraged by how fast we are moving to a conclusion and his dignified silence so far. He doesn't seem to be an egotist or the kind of person to mess us about.

I want him to ring in on a 25 minute drunken, swear filled rant about the fans after we boo off a load of kids having lost 2.0 at home on the first day.......

Good to hear, I don't think we'll see too much of Clowes in the public arena. Pedant mode - I don't believe British Midland had any 747s ?
