Punjabi Rams saying they're going to be on it and it will be a good one Punjabi Rams also saying a 'new face incoming ???' Martin Repton's message as well - not sure how reliable he is All of this leads me to believe that, no, it's not the day a preferred bidder is announced and the process of exiting administration moves forward. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he worth a Bob or two? No idea on his wealth, just very conveniently on Radio Derby yesterday being a bit coy (not that he hinted at anything, just he was there and being ‘everything will be ok’), plus a couple of tweets about Derby’s current situation. I’ve plumped it all on a guess basically, but he appears a bit of a dramatist which makes me think he’s reminded a few people who is before the big reveal. It’s only really me going for Knighton and I wouldn’t put too much behind my working out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he worth a Bob or two? Local Lad made good in the excesses of the eighties (Loscoe Lad). Very nearly got control of Man Utd in 1988, ended up owning Carlisle United also sacked the manager at one point and put himself in the job. Tidy footballer in his younger days hence the quips about ball juggling. I do believe he is a Derby half fan. No idea of his current worth although definitely not enough to keep the wolf from the door on his own, so if he is involved (unlikely) it will be part of a consortium.

Is he worth a Bob or two? He's not very popular in Carlisle. He once thought that the managers he kept hiring all did such a bad job that he decided to take over as manager himself. Carlisle got relegated. The bits I've read about him remind me of an English Fawaz. IslandExile, RadioactiveWaste and ThePrisoner 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Tram Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Did I read that the EFL have said that we can be given a place in League 2 if we are liquidated. @RoyMac5 wrote it in a thread that I cannot find. What, when, was said about this "offer"? It seems to be a good backstop in case things go sour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
