yes, would be fun being the underdog in FA Cup ties away at Crawley or Sutton United

but equally to the point, would this forum become the Derby City Phoenixes forum? Unless of course unless newco can acquire the old name

GP, you tend to be across economics. Im looking at the Rangers situation, where they (effectively a brand new entity) were only demoted three divisions because it was clear that the economics of 45,000 support would enable a team so well funded it would make a mockery of things if plonked into a much lower league - in fact it was like that the first two years even from SFL3. I’m mulling over whether The sanctioning body would dare to put New Derby in their ‘proper’ place (step 6?) if support remained at, let’s say, 20,000. With a reasonable stadium lease deal New Derby could recruit a team that would demolish all before it, making EFL etc look a bit daft. Am I missing something?

You're not missing anything, as like you say. At least 20 000 would still push the club along.
But this is the EFL we are talking about.
They are capable of anything.
