You can't really argue with any of that either Ron can you. He is right. Never mind what your club dipped out of financially it is the opportunity the supporters had to spend another season in that league if things had been done properly. I'm not going to say you would have stayed in the Championship this season because you acknowledge you can't compete well with the vast majority but that is hardly the point. I'm getting more and more disillusioned with this World where lying and cheating has become almost the norm. Even our Politicians are doing it now in the open and without any apparent embarrassment.
Just watched the interview on youtube with Rob & the old spice boys, watching it I think we were vey lucky
On the link you put up Ron to the Derby Telegraph there is a link to a youtube page called the old spice boys with Rob Couhig it's an hour long Interview with Neil Harman who wrote the book for the season when we went up & if I remember John Richardson
He seems to me to be going about the right way, he says in the interview about Derby & other clubs what happens when the owners get fed up, like the Derby owner as far has he knows he hasn't run out of money just decided it was time to get out
The American Chris Kirchner has pulled out of buying Derby blaming the administrators for messing him around,he also called ex owner Mel Morris "A f*ck job".
If (say) a club with no debts is worth paing £100m for, one could argue that it is worth buying a club with debts of £100m for a £1. How much are the assets worth?
The trouble is though Ron the assests of any club are not really sellable unless you have young players who you can sell on for millons & really how often does that happen now
It needs to be remembered that Administrators don't work for nothing and the more work they can justify the bigger their fee at the end of it all and they pretty much get paid first. Makes you wonder at what incentive there is for any Admin firm to do a deal at all that quickly.
The trouble is with knowing that Ron what can you do with it go to the bank & get another loan against it, or sell it & move to another location. The other problem Ron it's the same as everything it's only worth what somebody else will pay for it, it really doesn't matter what you think it's worth.
Derby County do not own the stadium they play in Melvin Morris owns Pride Park and owns the Derby County FC Ltd also the training ground Moor Farm Training Ltd as 3 different businesses a right web to unravel
