If Kirchner pulls out they are in serious trouble.
They don't own the stadium, they've got financial restrictions galore and hardly any players. About the only thing in their favour is their fans.

Would expect Mike Ashley to swoop to the rescue with a last minute lower bid.
It feels to me the amount paid for Derby itself is almost irrelevant as the bulk of any takeover costs will be debts to HMRC, more compensation (for Wycombe this time) and sorting out the stadium. Those alone are crippling.
Would expect Mike Ashley to swoop to the rescue with a last minute lower bid.
Indeed, that article from today states: "It is understood that former Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley, whose company Sports Direct is based in Derbyshire, has remained interested in buying the Rams throughout".
"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."
They are getting special treatment as they won the old 1st Division and Bury won nothing. They will go into liquidation soon. With 5 players, no ground and nothing else to show for it, no one is going to save them. DCFC is gone.
Bury beat them 6-0 in the 1903 cup final. Where’s the respect? The Daily Chronicle reported that the match was a "fiasco" and nothing like it had ever been seen before. The reporter contended that Bury could have scored twenty and did not do so because they "exercised mercy" Mike Ashley should offer Mel Morris £1 and a giant mug for the ground. Whether he bulldozes the ground to build a giant warehouse is between him and his conscience. Fingers crossed, but I suspect MA at his moustache twirling worst will still be better for DCFC than Mel Morris.

"Incredibly disappointed...the League will continue to engage..."
So, more time.
I'm torn on this. I don't hate Derby. I don't really have any feelings for them at all. I don't want them to go out of business. But the preferential treatment they're getting is bewildering. And unfair.

I think the EFL know Ashley is ready to step in providing Morris gets rinsed. There was no one like that for Bury. All in the hands of Morris now as it has been all along. They may have even dodged another bullet missing out on the crypto bro.

Shouldn't any club - community - be given every chance to live? I wish them well. Maybe the efl have learnt from the past, thus the difference in treatment between them and poor old Bury (FC IOM will be in the same division as the new Bury next season, btw) Morris is a bastard. Yeah, a lot of their fans brought into what he did, but would it really be any different here?

Yes, every chance.
But do you really think that Bury would be given all these chances next month, next year?

Wayne Rooney and his mates in the funny handshake brigade, innit.
Derby have undoubedly been given far more time than Bury were, but I think some of you have forgotten how bad the situation was with the owner of Bury FC.
And the administrators carried out their duties as required, unlike that lat at Derby!
Not only had the Bury owner (allegedly) syphoned off cash, but players & staff had not been paid. Add this to HMRC & all of their suppliers. I can't recall any realistic bid to take them out of administration either.
This may have been partly due to any new owner not having access to the ground, even though they would own it! The access could only be gained via the car park & guess who owned that?
Perhaps he was Morris's guru?

I'll let terryb answer that, and add that 2 wrongs don't make a right.
And that the efl definitely give more of a shit about derby then they did bury, because they are bigger and their demise will cause more of a ruckus. But that's not derby fans fault.
On the other hand, bury now get to visit the IOM and play at the bernabowl - so I ask you, who are the real winners here?

And then this tweeted at the same time. I'm confused
