We get bonus points for the pretty stadium.

A good reason for a collective clean up.

Teams are already into pre season.

They do not have anyone even close. FV were named as preferred bidders for us mid June, deal was done end of August. So about 10 weeks, we had Anderson fucking about but god knows what they have to come out. 

It would be amazing if they managed to get it done in 6 weeks so likely they start the season at best with kids. Transfer window closes 1st Sept. So no idea what happens then if they are not fully sorted

Even then like us they'll have to cobble together a squad from who ever is left available at that point.

This looks good for Derby, Clowes have nett assets of 266 million so should be financially be able to bank roll them out of League 1…. That’s if the buyout goes through quickly. 

Happy for them, just hope that they are shite this season and we can take 6 points off them

Well, they have 5 weeks to:

Officially buy and own the stadium.

Buy the club and go through the various due diligence and EFL owners test.

To pay all creditors 25p in the £.

Get out of administration.

Start to build a team...

Tick Tock....

They'll get sorted. 

Whether there will be much cash available for team building is another matter.

Rooney gone.

I'd not sneer at £266m but I guess there's more to their business than money to piss away on a football club and clearing their debts. Still, sounds more promising for them than Kirchner ever did !

Really ? Nothing showing yet on line. A better offer I guess. Or has Colleen put her foot down ?

 

He's resigned after talks with the admins today

Excellent.

That’s burst their freshly inflated balloon.

Obviously had no intention of taking them forward, took the money while the saga was ongoing and as soon as a takeover looked likely he has baled out.

He was close to Kirchner apparently and probably thought he'd be in a cozy situation having his mate as the owner. Now that picture has changed.

I can't take anything away from the job he did while he was there though. Yes, they got relegated but he made a very good fist of it considering the obstacles

Yep. Now all over the place. Well bloodhounded.

He's not done that without a better offer &/or he's not vonvinced of any major turnaround.

Who's got a vacancy in the Premiership or 2nd Division, that carries a bit of prestige. ?

Derby fans will probably reckon they can get Evatt

So they takeover to through, Have it fully approved by EFL, appoint a manager and then sign some players.

 

Hope the takeover guy goes not get put off. Is Keith Hill available ? 

I don't doubt that Clowes will be a shrewd business operator, but I like the fact that FV actually were seeking to acquire a football club as an investment and are making their decisions as such. 

From the sounds of his statement, it seems he felt more obliged to save them rather than doing it for commercial reasons. Be interesting to see how this one plays out.

For £25m they can.

Trouble is Chesterfield is pretty close. Thankfully he is bought in to our project.

Evatts comments about seeing the project through ect this week would look bad if he left a week or two later so I don’t think there is anything to worry about.

I know he started at derby very young and lives close by but isn’t he a Coventry lad and fan ? So I would be more bothered if they came calling at one stage and turned is head 

anyway if derby start the season fielding kids and get some heavy defeats can we complain like Doncaster if they have got there shit together by Xmas and insist they field there under 15s on Boxing Day
