Naisby 736 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 1 minute ago, Will said: This situation sounds an awful lot like Mel Morris and the clubs accounts, which haven't been submitted since 17/18 😬 According to Derby fans MM has sold up his properties locally and is now enjoying the charms and delights that Barbados can offer.

Redcar Rioja 5,975 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I suspect Sports Direct will wait until the 11th hour as suggested above and step in to clear the Tax bill on condition that Morris sells the ground to them for £20M. They will also agree take on the liability for the Boro and Wycombe claim (probably already privately sorted and agreed). Ashley gets a bargain, DCFC get saved and the EFL breathe a sigh of relief. Who on earth seriously bids on eBay before the final 10 seconds? Potential buyers know from all the bleating that they hold all the aces as the Administrators have effectively backed themselves into a corner by sticking their heads in the sand. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,301 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if it came out that MM actually owns Quantuma through one of his shell companies. Then man is a crook without morals. But i suppose the Derby fans can start a crowdfunding to pay the HMRC. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites

MM appoints this company as administrators and they use the same diversionary tactics and disinformation as MM did, hmmmhh strange! 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Also the preferred bidder for the club they wanted to announce last week is headed up by old and existing County directors and club officers, Also add the fact that the administrators have had a bid for the club but they didn’t respond to the offer so after about 2 months the American withdrew it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone know a retired CID bloke who would perhaps like to look into it? 4 Link to post Share on other sites

TeaCider24 12,639 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) Fresh update from the EFL. Some interesting stuff in there, calling out fake news and reiterating that they don't want Derby liquidated. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

What the hell have they been doing for all this time? They haven't resolved any issues, they've managed to scare away one buyer by dragging their feet and haven't brought any funds into the club by offloading sellable assets. They are making a mockery of the EFL. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Does this quote: "One such claim made in the past 24 hours is that the EFL has questions to answer regarding a supposed deal reached with Middlesbrough FC linked to Disciplinary action being taken against Derby County for alleged Profitability and Sustainability breaches. These accusations are wholly untrue, serving as an unwelcome diversion to current matters that need swift and decisive action by Derby’s Administrators." mean that the claim made by the Derby fans that Gibson had an agreement with the EFL that he'd sue Derby and and not them, is another one of their lies? Sorry if it's obvious but I do have a weird problem of getting confused when reading a long article on a screen. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It always sounded daft and conspiratorial in the first place, so I'm surprised they've been peddling it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
