Is that Rooney? If so, I applaud him. I’m sure I read last year he was paying the non-playing staffs wages for a period last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted June 10, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 10, 2022 Sounds like the worst is a real possibility. Biggest club to ever go under? This is what our future could have been if we didn't win the lottery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure he won't pump loads of money in, but he'll keep them going. Although maybe he'll invest in the club if they don't demand he leaves a year after buying them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 It's coming to light that this Kirchner hasn't even got the money to buy Derby. He is behind nearly 1 million dollars in sponsorship money to the NHL, an a twitter rumour is, he is behind on payroll on his main business. Another failure of due diligence by the football fat cats.

bannedfromHandV Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I hope someone steps in, what a dick to keep them strung along for all this time. We can’t lose a club of that size and stature, it would be truly scandalous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Fancy that. Now pinning hopes on Mike Ashley. I really feel for Derby. I remember the feeling that i had when we found out we were nearly bust and that was about 48 hours before NWSE rode to the rescue. The fans have had this feeling now for months. Every time there is light at the end of the tunnel something else happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was listening to Curtis Davis on Talksport a few days ago, who was pretty sure this was happening, because this guy had been dodging questions and walking away from reporters as early as a couple of weeks ago, he knew it wasn't going through and didn't want to fess up. Davis also dropped in that he was basically getting all of the news about what was going on with his club from Twitter. Right now, they have a squad of 5 players. The players out of contract have no idea what's going on other than what we know, and it's hard to see why any of them will stick around when there might not be an owner able to offer new contracts. I can see the club being unable to fulfill its fixtures this season, what happens then, expulsion from the league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted June 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 13, 2022 What the **** are the administrators up to? Make no mistake they'll be taking massive fees out of this. What kind of due diligence did they do to choose Kirchner as preferred bidder? Yes they've got a responsibility to achieve the best value but they've got to ensure any deal has a good likelihood of happening. Months wasted on this joker.

The administrators sound like a absolute circus. They ahve four-five interested parties let they opt for the shady kircher that most of us kind of figured didnt have the funds to buy them. I think derby got a lucky escape there as i think kircher would have put them in a bigger mess 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAuthority Posted June 21, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 21, 2022 Another argument for part ownership for the fans like Germany. Never happen in the UK though. Too many grubby hands in the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Another nail in the coffin for them, Rooney has quit. Can't blame him, apparently they're back at training with 7 players, and for months he's been paying for travel and equipment out of his own pocket. The administrators have potentially sent this club bust and need to be held accountable for this shitshow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Can’t blame him. He put far more into this than any other employee would. He’ll need a new job soon otherwise Colleen will know where he is 24 hours a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
