StaffsRam Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Kicking the can a month down the road gives the EFL exactly what they want. “Oh look at us, we’re compassionate, we’ve given them another month”, then let the noise created over the past week the chance to die down, and then kill us quietly in a months time. maxjam, Zag zig, Derby4Me and 3 others 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be the only option from a funding perspective if PBs are resisting providing a deposit. And better than liquidation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that true though? Surely if the EFL’s ultimate aim was to see the club fold, then they would say ‘a deadline is a deadline’. alram and S8TY 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they want the bad rep they’d earn by doing it now after the noise that’s been generated. A month’s time? You’d hope not, but my confidence and faith in the EFL is about as low as it could get. RadioactiveWaste and uttoxram75 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why their favourite is "just settle with Boro and Wycombe" RammingStone66 and RoyMac5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandExile Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 That's it then. After yesterday's postponement of the MPs/EFL meeting, we all eagerly waited for a BIG announcement today - perhaps of the preferred bidder. And all we get is one tweet from Nixon saying "it looks like another month". Nothing else. No confirmation. All official lines are - as ever - quiet. A little bit frustrating, eh?

If we settle everyone walks away happy, the news dies down and everyone forgets the EFL are generally terrible. It also gives them the PR boon of being able so "look we negotiated a deal between clubs and saved DCFC, we arnt biased at all, how could we be, we saved them" ?

Or we did everything we could we don't want to lose Derby but we have to maintain the integrity of the Football League that's why we appointed Peter Ridsdale to sort it out.

Kinda lost the will to live really. Check in daily waiting to see a big neon sign flashing "Preferred Bidder Announced" or similar......crawl away frustrated again. But like waiting to hit that perfect shot in golf or trying to catch that double figure carp you just know is lurking there, I come back for more. I will hit that shot and catch that carp if not today, then tomorrow...... Sorry, I sound like Cantona now.

I think you’re overlooking the obvious…Nixon is behind EVERYTHING. He’s pulling the strings and Parry/Birch are the muppets, sorry puppets doing his bidding…?
