And every day that passes without an owner, makes that more likely. Not a good position to be in. Its going to be very interesting to see what the EFL dose here. Especially when you take into account there actions with Bury/Macclesfield. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latemodelchild Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 That's a pretty damming read. Explains why the EFL seem to be bending over backwards to sort Derby out cos they've obviously backed the wrong horse in a big way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRightSide Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Can’t wait for Kirchner to get back on twitter and rip off his face to reveal he’s really Erik Alonso, who then rips off his face to reveal he’s really Geoff Sheard 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You read the same sentences three or four times before you are even half way through the article, as if they are just stuffing words in to make up a quota. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EFL are far from blameless, but the chief culprit is the Administrator. They are the people that gave exclusivity to someone with a chequered past: didn’t he get told to sod off for lack of funds when trying to buy Preston recently? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you would certainly think so. At the moment Derby apparently only have 5 first team players under contract. It also appears to be unclear if, and by whom, June wages will be paid. There’s probably a lot going on behind the scenes that isn’t in the public domain, but, on the face of it, things don’t look good at all for them.

Aren’t they in the same boat as us with regards to having a suspended points deduction handing over them for non payment of wages? If so then non payment or late payment in June would result in them starting next season on minus points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or sooner, fixtures released on Thursday. The next important deadline is payday at the end of the month, not ideal as fixtures already released before then which implies Derby will be included. They had to rely on Kirchner paying/borrowing to pay wages last month. Not sure there is much left for the administrators to leverage and borrow against, to pay the bills. If I were the rest of the EFL clubs would want cast iron guarantees and proof of funds for the whole season before including them in the forthcoming fixtures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mogbad Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Haven't the EFL previously said that a Derby takeover needs to be sorted prior to the fixtures being released or they won't be included in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure they’ve been that specific. Even if they have, they’re not averse to reneging on things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
