Redcar Rioja 5,872 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Maybe Mel could offer Steve Pride Park as full and final settlement? Imagine DCFC surviving but SG being their Landlord, there would be a meltdown in the Peak District. Worse still if they do survive under that scenario and Ashley is the new owner they will be screaming conspiracy especially when Steve Gibson replaces the Steve Bloomer Statue with one of himself. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Could you imagine the above scenario, but with the Stadium renamed the Steve Gibson Stadium, with the moniker Pride of the East Midlands underneath. 😀 2 Link to post Share on other sites

liambell42 103 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Can't wait till the stadium is singing ' there's only one Stevie Gibson ' at the derby game when we 2-0 up 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The DCFC administration people have turned it down. Apparently they need 7m to finish the season. They are either holding out for a bigger offer or will take it at the eleventh hour. They won’t fold IMO They shouldn't be allowed to turn it down. They are in administration and this would pay for the end of the season. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

The purchased the rights to use the plans but then made changes, some subtle some innovative, Im sure they have a heating system we were interested in before Morris took over, when Boro n Derby got on.

The problem is, that it’s starting to look like the administrators are not working to the premis of doing what’s best for the creditors, that’s their role. Their preferred bidder is according to Derby fans made up of current and ex directors, but they don’t have the biggest bid unofficially made. The Sports Direct Consortium have apparently indicated a higher price, but both groups dependent on Administrators getting almost all debts cancelled. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely spot on with this. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 You get the feeling that Quantuma are Derby fans. Is it a local firm? Usually you see admins come in and immediately try to bring in funds like Wigan last summer. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Hendrie_7 1,068 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 This is one of his replies to the previous Gibson tweet And this is from BoroMart on FMTTM: "One of the theories on their message boards is the reason that the preferred bidder hasn't been named is because it's Mel using a different company, and using it to wipe out millions in debts and he has the EFL and Gibbo on strings again. I don't no if this is just tin foil hat lunacy or actually just the sort of Machiavellian trick he would try....of course he'd get imprisoned for tax evasion you would think, so bring it on."
