Derby County deal expected to collapse


Worrying claims coming out about his other business ventures over the Atlantic. Missed 7 consecutive pay days over his various businesses. Robbing Peter to pay Paul
 
Deadline passed no news, unless they have been given yet another line in the sand.
 
Doesn't sound good for Kirchner. You'd think he would have updated fans if he's met the deadline, given how fond of social media he is. Ashley waiting in the wings and you'd have to think he's playing a good game of poker.

He cannot match PIF’s spending power so it’s irrelevant and long term I get why the Mags thought Ashley was toxic with turgid football and a desire to only avoid relegation each year

He will get teams to the promised land and then be happy with the odd relegation here and there - that’s not good enough for us or Derby

A bit like Bob Murray then 😆
 
'Ex-Newcastle owner Mike Ashley is still determined to complete a buyout but negotiations with Quantuma have been fractious.' Ashley knows what he is doing the adminstrators couldn't find their own backside with both hands.

Lucky bugger has dodged Gillingham mind. The novelty of going there wore off the minute I stepped outside Gillingham station. Mind you, he does get the rural charm of vegan Forest Green.


Phoenix club will have to start from the bottom. Northern League level.

Is that right? The convention has been two divisions below hasn't it? Bury was different because the club didn't cease to exist but just had no league to play in.

Aldershot had to start from the Isthmian League Division 3. They were in League 2 when liquidated. That was a drop of five levels.

Yeah but that was 30 years ago. Off the top of my head, examples since where the club has joined two divisions below are Halifax, Telford, Chester. I would be amazed if a much bigger club was forced into step 6 or whatever.

They were all non-league when they went bust. There is a Bury phoenix club; they started in the North West Counties league. The reality is that where they start is down to whichever league will take the phoenix.

Yeah, that's probably true. Another reason why I would be astonished if the highest potential league didn't decide they fancied the boost of selling Derby as many tickets as they can.

How do you work that one our like?

Bloke spent £40m+ to get the mags back into Premier League after relegation, left them with money in bank and more than stable finances following the sh*tshow he inherited.

Let's be honest , he neglected every other part of the business other than the 1st team, and even then he let that run self sufficient. I know it's cool to say on here , he had them running well etc, but he really didn't do a great job there and I can see why every mag I know was against him
