31Dec1966 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Derby seem to be given more time than Bury or Macclesfield, endless "last"deadlines!! They were first investigated in Jan 2020 weren't they? Here they are 30 months later. I'm desperate to get out of this league so anything that helps us is welcome......take another 15 points off em 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mildatheart67 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 This has a slight whiff of the Leeds takeover after they went into admin.and were bought for £1 from memory It was all very murky indeed with them ultimately owned by a " company" in a Carribean tax exile out of reach of the football authorities . Ultimately after they stabilised and we're sold again it turned out Ken Bates who had put them into admin ( St John's ambulance sting for £30,000) was the owner all along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mildatheart67 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 There's a great David Conn book about the shadey side of football. Ken Bates had previous dealings walking on the edge of legality in the Carribbean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roscoe P. Coltrane Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 It's a shame other clubs who went to the wall weren't afforded the same amount of time as Derby have been given... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how could we possibly let a great English football institution like Wayne Rooneys Derby County go to the wall?? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirstys Salopettes Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Forest tweeted this at 5pm exactly, quite deliberately imho it’s either first class shithousery or classless For me it’s the latter https://twitter.com/nffc/status/1535290747372584960?s=21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfc1983 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I follow Alan Nixon on Twitter and he’s clearly backed this kirchner guy to the hill these last few months, he’s gonna have some major scrambling to do when this blows over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 The most cringe thing is you get a certificate to confirm you're now in the PL. That is so incredibly sh*t. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Owl Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Back to the main point hopefully Derby can survive in some form or another but probably punished by being evicted from league and a phoenix club forming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 While I'm sympathetic to fans of other clubs, ruined by a megalomaniac owner....as a potential promotion rival and being openly selfish hope this drags on for a few more weeks and we get off to a good start. Another points deduction for them would be handy too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't want them to go out of business or anything like that, but a less competitive Derby County in League One can only be a good thing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
