Derby County deal expected to collapse


This is the guy who already failed to buy another club due to not having the money, and has already had 1 (or 2?) extensions on this deal because he also hasn't got the money.
Who could have seen this happening?

Poor Derby fans :(

You're going to be deducted points in league one as well? Ffs.

I saw a video of your fans at Blackpool, looked class. I hope things manage to get sorted for you sharpish mate, it's horrible for the fans.

It's all relative though isn't it? We too had to cut our cloth and ended up with a league one squad, it's certainly not the easiest leagues to get out of and made more difficult when you're considered the or one of the biggest scalps in the league.

You have to commit to paying creditors 25% of what they are owed within x years or 35% within y years when you come out of administration. If you don't you get a 15 point deduction. I think Kirchner was trying to say he won't pay them so can they take the -15 in the championship. It was another red flag that he didn't have the money.

Kirchner's deal was supposedly to pay something like 35p in the pound but over three years. That would have satisfied the EFL, tax man and the other creditors. If he has pulled out as is rumoured it leaves Mike Ashley as the only viable buyer left. It's thought he'll only offer 25p in the pound OR LESS which will result in another 15 point deduction. Not sure the wages were paid at the end of May either which means another -3 point. Had enough tbh.

Blackpool was class, in fact the whole season was enjoyable in a mad kind of way, the squad and supprters really pulled together, some great moments. Pity everything else is so messed up.
