The Administration Thread

[I am Ram]

The only thing, that has been consistent in all this, is the admins silence.

Quantuma on the 14th Feb - " I think Derby fans will be pleasantly surprised with the speed things will move " 

More lies and absolute tripe by these charlatans, couldn’t run a bath.

Maybe they're unsure what the word "pleasantly" means. I sure have been surprised with the speed things have moved... I thought we'd have at least heard something positive in the last fortnight!

I am trying to stay optimistic that this is because its the PBs way of working but am starting to feel a bit sick inside

I’m with you there. Throughout this process I’ve been mostly on the optimistic side of things, the fact the club still exists, the fact we’re making a go of things on the pitch, the fact there are (allegedly) interested parties with regards a takeover, and the huge fan action/support were all reasons to hope for me. However the admins potentially approaching their work with the same “I’ll sort it at the last minute” attitude that once saw me smash out a dissertation in a weekend is starting to wear me down ?

Inflammatory statement by the EFL. No need for them to make it. Why haven’t  they contacted the club/Quantuma before releasing that? 

There was no need to release that shower of shyte ?

What’s happened to the Rams Trust and other representative groups of the fans? They seem have disappeared as well and I would have thought they’d be all over this.

They probably have, Q's record of communication is appalling. In fact there would have to be an actual record of communication for it to be classed as appalling.

May be so but still smacks of the EFL point scoring and airing our dirty linen in public. I personally don't think it's the way it should be dealt with.

Then surely they (Quantuma) should have informed the EFL, not just ghosted them as they appear to be going to everybody 

But the bids didn't have to be in until last week did they?.

Steve, I normally agree with you but the fact they have had to release this statement thirty minutes before usual close of business time on the deadline date set, says a lot about Quantuma's poor showing on the communication front yet again.

Surely if they are making progress but aren't in a position to finalise  the administrators should be telling the EFL that to keep them onside? 

This is not helping anyone.

exactly right. we are wasting our breath shouting at the efl and shouting conspiracy against us. the people that can sort it out are doing nothing. i am sick of them lying to us over and over again.

 

if you set your own deadlines then bloody speak when nothing happens afterwards, unbelievable

It is astonishing Q have not kept EFL in the loop 

Its equally astonishing the EFL haven't asked to be kept in the loop, then come out with this poo.

Do agree with this. Why not issue the statement tomorrow morning when the deadline has definitely passed. That’s why I feel it’s sort of brinkmanship by the EFL, not sure what they stand to gain from it though ??‍♂️

There's been a lot of mud flung about during this saga, as well as knee-jerk reactions. I think staying mostly silent throughout was a sensible attempt at damage limitation. But they've lost me now.

i wish some of our fans would wake up no disrespect friend.

 

they probably feel the need because the admins are doing nothing to progress a sale, the only people that seem to have no interest in this deal getting done are Q. 

 

i am sick to death of them, lie to our faces to make up some time and sturr up stuff so we blame everybody else. them and mel are to blame, and guess who picked them for this job

Perhaps looking for an excuse to give us another points deduction

i agree, the mud slinging the best case is silence. 

 

but this isnt mud slinging at the moment. when they set dates and nothing happens, come out and tell us why, tell us why you arent meeting the efl deadlines. i feel like they only keep extending because of our supporters putting pressure on them. Q are playing us all for fools, and no doubt will be getting a pretty penny for doing naff all

[Premier ram]

    FFS , will somebody tell us something one way or the other

I realise that Quantuma aren't renowned for their communication skills but they have been good at letting g the EFL dig themselves deeper into a hole with their silence.

I'm gonna remain optimistic that they walk into the EFL office at 4:59pm with the relevant paper work, slam it on the desk and say read it and weep Parry. 

[Kernow]

I was hoping for a 5pm announcement regarding a preferred bidder but the EFL’s short statement suggests they’ve heard nothing from the admins. I’d imagine that they’d be informed of our PB long before it’s made public, so god knows how far we are from PB status.

[Tamworthram]

If the EFL require an urgent update, old school I know but, why don’t they pick you phone up and ask them? 
 

I’m assuming they’ve made their request via email which most of us know can be easily ignored.
