wasnt it the other group who were interested in safc not actually Dell himself ?

Thank you...puts things in perspective and makes the news more bearable. Good luck to Derby.Just finished work
Seriously, there are people who'd rather we weren't taken over just to be right ...
.... absolute scum in my opinion.
They're so desperate to prove me wrong they've taken this as proof when Dell actually had nothing to do with FPP.
The 'loan' still exists when, in fact, it couldn't if they'd invested in Derby.
As per my last message, when MadBob was kicking off, there's been no change ...
... not that it will stop the hysterical RTG pro-pessimists from ignoring the facts and grabbing their pitchforks.
To my knowledge the only previous club Dell wanted to invest in was Newcastle
He'd actually tabled a very good bid which Ashley tried to negotiate upwards ...
... if anyone should feel gutted about this news it should be the Mags, not us.
FPP are not Michael Dell. They were never MSD. That's a positive, so start there.
However, depending on whether any Derby 'arrangement' is via MSD, or a personal arrangement by Dell, it would impact us as Piatek and Phelan are still members of the MSD board. Phelan in particular wouldn't be able to do both I don't believe.
I'm aware that Dell wasn't part of the deal, but reading the article, it sounded to me exactly how our offer did, mentioning Dell and then MSD. I'd be very surprised if it wasn't the same group of people personally and it would make even less sense to me that Dell and his mates want to invest in an English football club but have decided to do it independently.
