Not claiming to be itk but I was told tonight that derby will fold by the start of may if they haven't found a buyer. All bids submitted to quantuma so far don't even come close to what they are asking for to settle debts with creditors. Mel Morris has been in meetings with quantuma in the last week to discuss settling some of the debts and handing over the stadium to any buyer.


I feel sorry for their fans even if they were being unreasonable.

Surely if Mel Morris hands over the stadium free of charge that's 2 bites of the same cherry they've had which seems unfair on other teams who've not cheated.
 
They should have ceased trading by now.
£26,000,000 reportedly owed to the tax man.
Breached three [if not four] "deadlines".
No bid imminent - as far as we know.
Yet they carry on regardless.
Should or could, any other club be allowed to blatantly take the pss out of remaining Championship clubs (?), having screwed its fans, its creditors, the Inland Revenue and the spineless Football League.
Those at the top of the game are wholly responsible for allowing this circus to continue.
If it happens to any other club, the Football League need to be taken to the cleaners.
What has happened to Derby sets a president.

This is the biggest part of the problem for me. Cost of living rises, arguments about what can be done to help people, and a debt like this all because someone wanted to access the riches of the Premier league and ignored the rules. For me this should be non-negotiable. Bids should be starting footballing debts plus (including that owed to HMRC). HMRC should have made this clear to Quantuma on day 1 so they could pass this information onto perspective bidders.

Why dont the Revenue demand immediate payment?
How many small businesses and independent traders would be allowed to amass such a huge debt to public funds and still be trading?
Stuff em off!
Didnt see any sympathy for Bury or Bolton .......
And which other clubs are still smiling whilst up to their neck in debt [Sheffield Wednesday? Reading? Bristol City...]
Whats so blummin special about Derby, or any other club?
Pay up or get out.:mad:

[With apologies to Carmen XXX:rolleyes:]

Are they being charged interest on the money they owe the taxman?
