ScarBoro 836 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 1 hour ago, Redcar Rioja said: I'm not sure that MM's offer has any legs which would be typical of him. If the claim is against the Football Club going to court against an individual doesn't seem to stack up but I guess Morris knew that. If MM really wants to put his money where his mouth is all he has to do is to say that he will personally underwrite any MFC/WW claims against DCFC and the supposed problem of the outstanding claims immediately goes away. I wonder why he didn't choose this option? That’s what I suggested yesterday. I suspect Gibson will not be slow to suggest that and call his bluff. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder why he didn't choose this option? That statement was definitely just PR on his part. In a away he had nothing to loose by putting it out there. It gave the illusion he's extending a real olive branch to personally take responsibility. However as many have noted this is a "wide open free kick" for Gibson. A quick statement outlining the points in the tweet mentioned above puts pressure back on Morris. Link to post Share on other sites
GrimsbyBoro 1,958 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Mike Ashleigh has decided against trying to buy Derby according to the Daily Mail. It may be true but it also feels like a Mile Ashleigh move. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him return a little bit down the line. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He wants to buy the stadium at the cheapest price he possibly can. He'll come back in at the 11th hour, save Derby County but they'll start next season with -15 in League One.

Naisby 736 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 The different needs of proof and laws when the defendant is a person rather than an institution or company may be why he is trying to go down this line. plus the Americans don’t want to buy the stadium nearly rent it so MM going to be left holding the stadium and still financing the debt he secured on it personally to Dell. MM wants his cronies to get the club debt free so they will complete the deal they appear to have made which is they get a club with debts wiped almost to zero and he gets the price he wants on the stadium. At the moment that Consortium doesn’t have the funds and has bid less than the Americans. Btw did you know when appointing Q as administrators he got a member of that Consortium embedded within Q so they can see and advise on things. That info came from a Derby fan site so could be wrong but I’ve not seen any corrections when it’s brought up. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
chimpy07 20 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I've read that Steve Gibson should be advised not to attend the game, and some Boro fans supporting that, I think we as Boro fans should protect Mr Gibson and make him feel most welcome in his own home 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Wind the Derby fans up and blast the Imperial March from star wars. Also advocating for a good round of 'another one butes the dust' when the Derby 11 come out the tunnel at the start.
