That’s disgraceful

 

[Mcbean]

There is no way that Derby will fold - the efl won’t allow it - they want Wayne Rooney in the Championship he gets more column inches than any other team every day - the DT is obsessed with an article daily

it would be an absolute disgrace if it happened

Amazing that there are owners that make ours seem like saints.

Unless he moves to Everton of course

I dont think Derby will fold , too big a club surely to be let slip away

 

[rexo87]

Shocking if they do go under. Dont particularly like them but a very big club would be terrible to see them go

Stop talking sense ffs

Listening to the Guardian Football Weekly pod and Derby are in a bad way. The administrators are doing a really, really bad job and the money owed to HMRC is 20 plus million. HMRC are going to vote down any CVA they can offer.

Agreed - they would soar back up the leagues, if they reform. Sell their main players like Lawrence, Knight and Ebosele and they will be a good way there. They will get relegated anyway, but selling their assets and starting again in L1 is better than folding completely. The 3 players I've mentioned are surely worth £15m plus collectively - get HMRC off their back, anyway? Presumably the 'interested parties' could find the remaining funds if so they choose.

No one is going offer that much money for Derby players. They know the closer they get to the end of the window the more desperate they get.

Why don’t they sell Lawrence and sibley. You’d be pissed as a Wycombe fan when they could have stayed up last year.
If all middlesboriygh and Wycombe are doing is expecting 100% of what’s owed they are not in the wrong

There doesn't seem to real interest.

Sell players sorry

 

[David O'Day]

Sell players sorry

People have been bidding for them but they seem to be holding out as per Keiran Maguire which is weird as everyone knows they are in fire sael mode

Lawrence and Ebosele both out of contract at the end of the season. They’d be lucky to attract a combined £5m for the 3.

If they did, a club that size would just come back as AFC Derby anyway.

I'm not sure Middlesbrough's claim for £45m is reasonable personally.

 

[TomRad85]

If I was Wycombe I'd be pretty pissed off tbh. Middlesbrough can fuck off the fucking chancers. Shit club too.

Isn’t the hold up on potential buyers not wanting to deal with the legal challenges? If they go away derby can see out the season - why would they sell for next to nothing?

let’s face it - if they get to feb with no funds the fire sale isn’t going to make a difference - no point in selling players in the hope that you’re still going to the end of the season

Funny though

How come? What’s it for?

How come? What’s it for?

Missing out on a playoff place to Derby by a point (think it was the Lampard season).

Supposedly Ashley sitting on the sidelines waiting for the best/worst moment, at the midnight hour, to try and 'save' ;them for the lowest possible price.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

It’s a bit like us suing Liverpool because they got to us kicked out of Europe which meant we didn’t have the clout to sign better players and therefore did poorer in the league.

Should have done in my opinion

Birmingham City fans plan protest march against Championship club's owners

Birmingham City fans plan to protest against the Championship club's owners before Saturday's home game with Barnsley.

www.bbc.co.uk

Blues fans protesting about their owners. The apparently have a top 8ish wage bill -

"When you take out the clubs who still have Premier League parachute payments, we're probably in the top five of highest wage earners."

All fans care about is success on the pitch. West Ham are a great example. And ourselves for that matter!

I think a couple of relegation's has actually grounded our support a little bit.

Not in all cases of course, but some of the attitudes you see other other clubs in the championship, you would think they were supporting AC Milan or something.

Forest 1-0 up against Derby.

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Hmm. always admired Steve Gibson for the job he'd done with Middlesbrough, but this leaves a bad taste. He should certainly remember them being locked out of Ayresome Park, having to play at Hartlepool. If they'd stayed up the previous season, would Blackburn and Sunderland have had the right to sue them?

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Forest have leapfrogged us.
