We can’t, as supporters afford to buy Derby. I do £50 to £75 ones But just ringside seats just too experance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevertheless, it's entirely reasonable that he wouldn't want his hair coiffured at a football stadium. I don't see how having a short back and sides on the concourse behind the West Stand will help the situation. Is it like the olden days of pelting offenders, held in stocks, with rotten tomatoes?

I doubt very much we can raise 22 million but every pound we can raise will help make a difference. I don't understand why the administrators haven't looked into crowd funding yet....

I don’t think the fans in general can raise £22m , although Didn’t Nixon say we only need another £5m. That really only takes a few wealthy people to club together . Or just one.. mr Mel Morris.

Usually if there is a will on both sides a deal is struck somewhere in the middle. My guess is £40m will do it with Mel rightly taking most if not all of the hit. That deal won't be struck though until we have a date for liquidation. Edited March 31, 2022 by The Scarlet Pimpernel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do admire you optimism and support for our club, but unfortunately this is just something we the fans cannot impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some reports say we have had offers of £40 m. Others say we are £5 m or £10m short. Don’t think we are £22m short of avoiding penalties. But nobody knows do they?

BathRam72 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I am fairly sure (or hoping) that despite the mess Mel has got us into. He is currently trying to get back as much as he can for the club/stadium. After all he has put a lot of money into it. However, when push comes to shove, I am not sure he will want to be remembered as the man who destroyed a founding member club. He will do the right thing in the end.

GenBr Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 If we somehow raised enough money to buy the stadium how would we pay to maintain it after that? And if we're just going to sell it back may as well leave it with Mel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazloW Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 So the plan is, raise enough money to satisfy Quantuma that ‘the fans’ plus the generosity of Mr Rooney (!?) can meet the requirements that apparent billionaires are seemingly not willing to meet - and prove that ‘the fans’ can ensure the long term future of the club (which Q have said is a factor) - then when all that is sorted, we then either give it to some new owners for free (very generous) or sell it to them, presumably for the same price they are currently unwilling to pay. I think there might be a flaw in this plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure of the league position or name of the club, but it will be known as Derby County. So Saturdays will still be the same routine mate, get up, watch the Rams. Who cares which league we’re in if we are proper supporters? S75 Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
