Anyone saying imminently or 48 hours gets a hard Paddington stare! Let's assume everyone is working to a may 31st deadline and nothing is going to happen significantly before that. Seems people are confident after the Nixon chatter about we can start offering contracts (still subject to completing the deal) SaffyRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Chris Kirchner’s plan for rescuing Derby County could be about to clear its last big hurdle as local property firm Clowes Developments is close to agreeing a deal for Pride Park Stadium, The Athletic understands. ...yadda yadda yadda (many paragraphs of rehash) ...Clowes has not responded to a request for comment." Yes, I did use a little artistic licence. RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And third favourite in the poll at close to 14% at the time of writing, after Gadsby at 30% and one of Kirchner's associates at 20%. If it happens I feel it will be good for their to be a local custodian of the ground (even if it felt like that with Mel at one point). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I wonder if he might’ve contacted his colleagues at Clowes and said something like “you might get a call from the DET, just tell them it’s ‘me’ not ‘us’”!

Well, yes, which is why I posited that Mr Clowes might have wrung them to let them know they might be contacted by the press. I don’t expect the Clowes official to be psychic. I think what you mean is that David Clowes might not want the man at Clowes to be privy to his private transactions. A subtle but important difference and a reasonable possibility.
