useless Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Derby's academy is underated Kaba, Scanlon, and Sharpe recently went to Man Utd, Kellyman is apparently signing for us Aston Villa, they sold Eze and Ryan to Norwich and Brighton, Gordon one of the best youth players in the country went to Liverpool, and Delap has been doing very well at Man City.

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 The takeover has gone through today, fans delighted but to me the new owner strikes me as a complete charlatan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope ashley dont buy blose Yeah I understand the relief but just can't see it ending well for them, the way their fans are going on you'd swear they have been bought out by NSWE but your man is only worth around £5m although he claims to be richer due to crypto investments.

As to whether its not a bad thing... guess that depends on whether they find another buyer. It would be sad to see them fold as one of the original clubs in the first football league. Can't imagine what their fans would feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be happy the deal is finally collapsing so they can at least ditch their preferred bidder and try to broker another deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I read that the funds from the potential new owners to cover wages didn’t arrive, wages were paid by someone else “close to the club”. Is that Rooney? If so, I applaud him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Derby owned the stadium I don't believe for a second they'd have had this much trouble finalising a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villarule123 Posted June 8, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 8, 2022 They could be done if they don't find a new buyer very quickly. It's terrible timing too with the new season about to begin, they could get expelled like Bury. Expecting Ashley to pick up the pieces for peanuts though.

It's Your Round Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 The impact of failing to win a playoff final should never be underestimated. Derby would never be in this mess if they’d beaten us that day. Even if they’d gone straight back down they’d have still had a massive financial boost. There’s more to their failings than just that, but it exaggerates the decline when they were there with us at Wembley that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted June 9, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) If I was a Derby fan I would be putting up banners begging Mike Ashley to buy them. Maybe he's not ever going to transform a club into some kind of global powerhouse, but at this point just someone who can keep the club in existence who clearly has his own money would be a massive bonus for them. For Ashely he will probably earn money off it. He will be getting it at a rock bottom price and they shouldn't be too difficult to get back into the Championship at which point they will be worth a ton more than he's paid for them. Beggars as they say cannot be choosers. Edited June 9, 2022 by sidcow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
