hintonsboots Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 According to Quantuma, who should be ITK, the vultures won’t impact on the preferred bidder decision. It’s then up to that bidder to negotiate with Boro and Wycombe, along with the administration team ? r_wilcockson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Agreeing to pay them off in full would result in liquidation as no one will be willing to pay £100m for us. Gritstone Ram, strawhillram, bimmerman and 7 others 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I'm inclined against paying them. More for the allowing them the win, however small, being distasteful and should should we go to the wall under actions by Boro and Wycombe, the world will view them with the contempt they deserve. I'm a poison the well kind of guy. GenBr, strawhillram and r_wilcockson 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyinLiverpool Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Agreeing to pay them off would be the end of the football league as an entity. The competition would have no integrity and on a practical level, who's going to do stuff like referee games in an environment where some chancer could throw a lawsuit at you for wrongly awarding a corner etc? If Gibson succeeds, the whole edifice will crumble. So A. Oldben, Kathcairns, LeedsCityRam and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially after that story has been debunked by Quantuma statements this morning. All Quantuma have said is that "there is no further progress with the claims of Middlesbrough and Wycombe, but these will not prevent a preferred bidder from being named. After that Carl [administrator Carl Jackson] hopes further discussions can take place with all parties and hopes an agreement can still be arrived at." That doesn't mean these claims aren't a barrier to concluding the sale. Wigan had multiple preferred bidders before coming out of administration.

MK-Ram Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Believe the admins that this isn't the hold up and, particularly if Ashley comes in (I suspect his late interest was the hold up), this will be resolved swiftly. That being said, not living in the area, I'm desperate for the club to survive as is. There is no way you'll get a non-local little lad interested in a phoenix club and I'm desperate to take my son to the rams in the future eccles the ram, DerbyRam!, Kathcairns and 3 others 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BramcoteRam84 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Sort it out with them and move on, we stay as Derby County FC, a football league club. Sorting out with them im sure will involve paying them nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both claims are wildly inflated so I cannot imagine anyone being willing to pay the full amount, especially as the consensus is that the claims are without merit. jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 It is a joke. I won't answer the pole as there is no case to answer. If by any perverse chance there is, then the EFL will be bankrupted by all the claims and counter claims from other clubs who could take action against them for similar cases where they didn't apply rules in an even handed fashion. This is a diversion by : 1) The chancer who runs Wycombe and 2) The self righteous seemingly obsessed individual who runs Boro. This isn't a rant its common sense, and surprisingly for some, English commercial law has a lot of common sense written in to it.

1of4 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Duck um. If not paying them means Derby having to start again at the bottom of the football pyramid, so be it. I wouldn't give this pair of bamfords my used bog paper If the ELF along with all the chairmen, owners of every other football club allows this farce to drive us out of existence. It will leave it's self and a number of other clubs open to being sued. Not just by other clubs but also every supporter that feels cheated by the actions of the EFL. cstand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't Stiv. They were competing against Derby County FC. But the whole thing is laughable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
