Guest Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Kirchner's been hauled down to the local sheriff's office now and following a Court ruling he's having to work out how to pay Stretford back over £2m for our May payroll according to Nixon: https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/further-fallout-from-chris-kirchners-failed-derby-county-takeover-bid-emerges/ I hope he really has some bitcoins but I somehow doubt it.

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Wouldn't surprise me if Kirchner has simply done a runner with whatever cash he had left. Doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who will stick around to face the consequences of his actions. He's probably in Mexico or something.

Grumpy Git Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Administrators (in my direct experience as a creditor), seek only to extract as much revenue for themselves as possible out of a failing business. Anything left over for creditors (in my direct experience zilch), is inconsequential. InstaRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the alternative though? We owed £60m+ to creditors. Either somebody rocked up and handed over a significant chunk of that cash (in some form or other), or we got liquidated. What other outcome do you think Quantuma could have possibly engineered? Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAM1966 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I'm glad Kirchner will be about £2M out of pocket, his messing about cost us vital players and in the end nearly forced us out of business, I'm just grateful for DCs charitable act to save us. I hope he does time for his dealings, swanning around in a private jet while his employees go unpaid for months..... r_wilcockson, Adslegend and Steve How Hard? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alternative to liquidation was working out a deal whereby the club survived albeit with a 15 point penalty, that style of deal was on the table from Ashley. Quantuma seemed to be willing to risk liquidation in an effort to avoid that eventuality. Whilst wanting to avoid a 15 point hit was admirable, gambling the existence of the club to avoid it was misguided at best. We ended up with Clowes and a relatively good outcome in spite of Quantuma, not because of them in my opinion. The 'safe' bet would have been to start negotiating with Ashley instead of Kirchner. At least you know Ashley has the cash to back up his bid, even if the bid wasn't as good. This isn't me saying I wanted Ashley, far from it, but he was an infinitely more credible bidder than Kirchner.

I seem to remember @Ghost of Clough running the numbers and coming to the conclusion that taking -15 basically saved a couple of million overall. The figures for that kind of deal were still well above what Ashley was rumoured to be offering. Quantuma weren't haggling over -15 or not, they were haggling over whether the deal was enough to keep us as a football league club or not.

MackworthRamIsGod Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) I hope one day a book is written about the whole affair with the name "You Got The Kirch". It's the one line that sticks in my mind throughout the whole saga, was she taken in by his BS too, or complicit in the web of deceit.

Guest Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 There's quite a sporting theme to Kirchner. He sponsored the Abu-Dhabi F1 Grand Prix, The Dubai Desert Golf Classic, and tried to buy Preston North End and Derby County while ripping off Paul Stretford and the Dallas Stars. It seems now that it was inevitable that when he finally got nicked it had to be by the Texas Rangers ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
