New Buyer Progress

[Trickytreesreds]

Transfer window closes soon, so the opportunity to sell and raise the funds for season survival goes.
So, it's on the rack now.
Sell a couple of players to be sure, or gamble the sale will be sorted.
Wow, pressure call.

Window closed, this doesn't sit well.

Concerns raised over Rams liquidation
One of the potential buyers of stricken Championship club Derby County fears the club is heading for liquidation.

I can't help but feel deeply concerned about this now. My Winviz (or more accurately LoseViz) has moved to 90% with buyers getting jittery and the players settling our fate seemingly spinning in circles.

If we lose the mediation, even for anything but a token outlay, I suggest that scuppers any plan to settle with HMRC. If we win the mediation, the time it takes and the then probable appeal will likey cause potential buyers to lose interest.

If we do lose mediation, self regulation has to go, FFP/P&S in its current state is sunk and carnage will ensue as everyone with a minor grievance will launch legal action : including the liquidators of Derby suing QPR, Villa and the EFL citing the precedent of other clubs success in suing DCFC. It's a total farce.

Whatever the outcome, football is mired in extreme disrepute and I'm not sure how it solves this. Clubs should not be allowed to turn on each other. They should all subscribe to binding central rules and not be allowed to set upon one another, particularly when they see a weakling at the back of the herd.

I have always thought the greed of the Premier League would kill football. It now looks like the naked ambition and greed of those trying to get their snouts in the Premier League trough will kill it.

Clough warned where it was going 40 years ago. He always said Sat aft was match day and fans should be on terraces. Even he couldn't have imagined how money and greed would taint the game

Can't help but agree with what you ahve posted. Its puzzling that individual clubs are taking legal action against other clubs especially on such fantasy grounds.

The EFL seem especially spineless, they allow the legal action and insist its a football debt, how? Frankly the administrators should just say to Boro and Wycombe, drop your action or the club goes into liquidation and its on your own heads.

Unless the cases are dropped then liquidation seems the only option I fear.

I am getting fed up with the EfL a bunch of weaklins
Sad to say F em all wind it all up & I hope they are pleased with themselves
give em nothing
To be a member of a body that makes things up as it goes along, is it worth it
What is the actual senorio with re forming

Interesting comment from Nixon

One for GP I think here. Hypothetically, is it possible for MM, to actually be encouraging liquidation, in order to seize control of a phoenix club?

IMO, a possible thought, yes, but one with no chance of materialising as Mel would not pass the fit and proper person test.

Not to mention the fact that the most unpopular person in Derbyshire seems an unlikely choice. To the best of my knowledge he can’t even live here at the moment.

That EFL statement yesterday seems to show them on the side of MFC and WWFC. They seem to be plumping for us being wrong in thinking we can use insolvency legislation to avoid insolvency.......

How dare we use insolvency legislation to get out of insolvency...
