Not sure but I think Appleby may have been good to go before the football creditor point emerged. In other words, if Big Mike had not crashed the party we might already be home and dry, with Appleby (well, his investors) taking the risk. If that’s right, we should all hope that the football creditor surprise has not lost him credibility with those investors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkFruitsRam7 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) Some great footage of Mick Derby in the 80s here. Just after the minute mark. Fans like him don’t deserve to lose their football club.

That's why Quantuma thought they could annouce a preferred bidder last week, but the EFL said no because they don't know their own rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, maybe Couhig and/or Gibson will crack. Do you believe they will, though? It doesn't feel like they will to me. Time will obviously tell. It’s not that I think they will crack I think they are under enough pressure to be looking for an elegant exit from the spotlight. The fact that one MP described the claims as a ‘stretch’ will not have gone unnoticed Derby4Me and Andicis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammy03 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 This is what I've been saying all along. The only way out of this hole is if the EFL change their stance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debts should stay with the person and not the business in my eyes, would stop it happening as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S8TY Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 2 hours ago, SamUltraRam said: I've seen it reported that Mel Morris still wants £20m for the stadium, maybe he'll drop that to £15m & the Preferred Bidder would have £5m spare from their planned budget so we can give Boro & Wycombe some 'go away' money. I know it would be painful to pay them anything at all but i'd rather do that than face being a Phoenix club. I know some have mentioned they'd rather go bust than pay them anything but have those people really considered the level we'd be playing at if that happened ? Tier 9 is where we may end up - North East Counties League Premier - that's the equivalent of where the Macclesfield Phoenix club are now & it's one level below Belper Town Opponents AFC Mansfield, Albion Sports, Athersley Recreation, Barton Town, Bottesford Town, Eccleshill United, Emley, Garforth Town, Goole, Grimsby Borough, Handsworth, Hemsworth Miners Welfare, Knaresborough Town, Maltby Main, Penistone Church, Sherwood Colliery, Silsden, Staveley Miners Welfare, Thackley, Winterton Rangers I don't even know where most of those places are & it would take 5 straight promotions just to get back to League 2 I know Mel Morris doing us favours is a pipe dream but please, if him or any of his family are reading this, please help !! Never !!!.............................. give them parasites nothing!!!!! Zero!! Zilch!! bugger All !! F ALL ...... RedSox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the only thing I'm clinging to. No if we are liquidated it's another club, you may as well rename Mickleover Sports. If you want to watch DCFC then we must save the Club. #COYR RammingStone66, Indy, BarrowRam and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know one is close though, we were on the verge of naming one last week. The issue is whether is “named tomorrow” close or “once ‘Boro/Wycombe are sorted” close.

DarkFruitsRam7 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) Just ventured over to LTLF to see what the Forest fans are saying. It's not nice. Derby County Football Club going bust will be a devastating blow to the city, to people's livelihoods and to people's mental health. The fact that the vast majority of them are laughing and saying it's what we deserve is sickening. Utterly sickening.
