sibon Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 This is horrible news. The first of many, I suspect. I can’t see how football survives this without losing at least some professional clubs. Quite possibly some big clubs. I genuinely hope that Derby sort themselves out... and that we don’t end up in the same state 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVERY club is lucky to be still alive during this shambles, not least us. It’s amazing none have gone under yet although I could be wrong about that.

Maybe some good can come out of this like, fewer overseas owners, lower salaries for players, cheaper ticket prices, and the fans getting the game back 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both gambles failed. Now both clubs don’t own the stadium and both are struggling to pay players on time. Derby’s saving grace is they’ve apparently got this takeover on the horizon. Perhaps DC might have to start thinking about new ways to get cash into the club ASAP? "Club 1991" 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizz em! Honestly think any of them cared when we got our points deductions or previous relegations? 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I'd rather teams didn't go to the wall, but then I'm not going to be too fussed if they do. Let's be honest, there were loads of fans wishing us to go kaput when our points deductions was announced last season. Sympathy is in short supply in the football "family". 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing they are paying Rooney a kings ransome and he won't even play himself now - that's a different matter. im sure a betting firm has paid for rooneys wages 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellbeaten-the-owl Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Heard a few podcasts this season where football owners have said the dangerous months for clubs will be January / February when money will run out and we might start to see a few going into administration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think fans should ever suffer for financial issues out of their control. I hope Derby get out of it. I have no affiliation to Bury but it was horrible seeing them go through what they did and subsequently sad that they’re no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
