EFL Official Statement : Derby County Update

[avondalemiller]

I think most potential investors now are waiting for the words”a going concern”…

,,,,more like basket case...............lol

£4m for Jozwiak......£8m for that Bielik(?)........who gives the green light to pay those prices for player what are "average at best"......crazy.

Just kick em out to anywhere what will have them.......brilliant way to run a club and shooting for the stars............

,,,if this money gets them to the end of the season, what happens then when there's no income in the close season??? Is this what the "interested parties" are waiting for, buying a dying club?

With the buying of Bielik, he has been bought from Arsenal, with Derby County paying the fee in instalments, but
Arsenal helped Derby County by freezing the payments, with the pandemic & the clubs financial troubles.
So any prospective buyer of the club, will have the outstanding transfer fee to pay, in instalments.

Derby County lost money on the player sold to MLS side Charlotte FC.

The Polish 23 year old winger Kamil Jozwiak, was bought for around £4m from Lech Poznan.
BBC reporting a £2m fee, while reporter Alan Nixon saying around £1m fee.
It would seem the administrators are glad to get any money in, plus get one off the wage roll.

Another twist to the Kamil Jozwiak transfer from Derby County to MLS Charlotte FC.
BBC saying Alan Nixon saying player was sold for £1m is wrong, & that the fee was £2m,
after Derby County got a increase on the transfer.

But its been reported when Derby County bought Kamil Jozwiak from Polish club Lech Poznan, the fee
of £4m was to be paid in instalments, in which Derby County had missed a transfer instalment, so
therefore the £2m fee received by Derby County, around £1m of it was still owed to Polish club Lech Poznan,
so after paying Lech Poznan, the remaining increased fee of £1m is helping pay off further debts.

Polish international Kamil Jozwiak didn't do to well at Derby County, scoring 1 goal in a 18 month period,
it seems he couldn't bring his Poland international form to the club.
Then the club only getting £2m after paying £4m for him, with wages on top.

Summary -
It would seem Derby County have shown how not to run a football club, mistake after mistake, with still
more trouble ahead.

They’ll just constantly stalling

Need to be sent down to L2

[Ericsladkilnhurst]

The Binnie family pulled out of buying the club, reported offered £30m but wanted Pride Park stadium
in the deal, but Mel Morris is not selling the stadium, he is after getting rent from any buyer of the club.
The administrators [ set on & paid by Mel Morris ] are selling the club, & the debts with it.
Would be perhaps better for the club to go into liquidation, but would the stadium count as assets, with
the club & the ground being owned by Mel Morris, unless he's played crafty & separated both into
two separate companies.
The HMRC bill is a big turn off for any buyer of the club.

The more that does the more it's hopefully going to sink them without a trace. Make em start in League 2 next season. At least the Scottish FA had balls throwing the book at Rangers and made an example of them!

It unbalanced the league though, throwing a big fish into a small pond.

On a similar point it’s gone a bit quiet on other teams with doubtful finances, like SWFC and Reading

After a tough Wednesday night and then just Thursday off and travelling down to Wycombe Friday to play today ,I think the lads have done a good job and got something out of this horrible fixture.Taking a point and our nearest competitors both taking no more than a point means we have lost no ground and now have two home games to come.We have three players who have come back and they will gradually get better each match and we have a stronger bench for these two very important games coming up.
