Mr Popodopolous Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) Well I didn't think they would go bankrupt though I am glad they have suffered. I was pondering the other day whether it would change their fans much but I doubt it- in certain aspects ie EFL regs and so forth, the most arrogant, know-nothing fanbase I have seen at this level- I am not including those who are largely PL just down for a while but consistently Championship based clubs. Clowes seems decent from early bits and what I've read- they don't deserve him I expect a sizeable minority of their entitled fans. Wish I'd gone to Pride Park in April but there's still time- maybe next season if I see my mate up North. Get that writ in Mr. Couhig unless the claim has already been settled. Key q too is what % to HMRC...public money is public money after all. Edited July 1, 2022 by Mr Popodopolous 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) Are Derby fans forgetting about Couhig so soon- don't think he's gone away, nor will he. Unless Clowes has already done the decent thing- or the expedient thing- and settled on some level.

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 I'm not disappointed Derby have survived just so long as the EFL cut them no slack moving forward- ie uphold the rules as the rules need to be upheld. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) Remember Derby MPs have been having a good moan- maybe fans of other law abiding clubs should lobby their MPs to lobby HMRC about disclosure or precedents.

IF, HMRC have not been paid in full or have accepted a plan to be paid in full, it completely opens the flood gates. I am really interested in what the detail of this is.

Well, a percentage on your forum are very ill-informed, ignorant and arrogant or have been about these matters. Anyway it's a small price for being on the side of right- some of the stuff last year was hilarious- some of the stuff for 2.5 years has been hilarious! Not as sad as a thread last August "Has the Embargo been lifted"! What a daft one that was. Progress to a Business Plan perhaps but as to the question fully lifted, well the thread was made on 6th July 2021- well Father Dick Byrne has the answer... In all reality, justice done kinda- what with the -12, FFP sorted- relegation and the accompanying Embargo/Business Plan. From a footballing perspective boxes ticked.

Oh yes in a football context I meant- well I dunno, the EFL Insolvency Policy seems to it would appear classify HMRC and Unsecured Creditors as one and the same although none of us have seen it. Granted none of us know what % is being paid- either now or over time. Could be high- we don't know do we.

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 Ha I said I wouldn't quote DCFCFans anymore but sometimes you just gotta... YaniP- he appears to have been playing "pass the brain cell" or lost it, dropped it or something- forgotten his meds I expect- for him to talk about idiocy or morons given the cognitive dissonance on that site in some time, the conspiracy theory whining really is funny. Actual cogent post not that I agree with all of it from Gee Screamer though, has he remembered to take his tablets today or something- or maybe he's laying off the booze for a change. Yes if Derby had paid their creditors then we wouldn't be having this discussion- the P&S/FFP bit would have been a fail either IRL or likely to 2020/21. As for Gibson and Couhig, the EFL won a hard won victory and that gave those two the platform to make their claim in a sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 Should probably also add that this is the third time in not much longer than a generation that Derby have had an Insolvency Event of some kind...some prolifigate owners clearly. This, 2002 or 2003 in and out of admin briefly and 1984. 3 Insolvency Events in a shade under 40 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hxj Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 Out with the old and in with the new. Looking at the Companies House filings over the last few days it is now possible to say that: 1. Clowes Developments (UK) Limited now directly owns the stadium owning company Gellaw 202 Newco Ltd 2. Clowes Developments (UK) Limited incorporated a new subsidiary Totem Newco Limited which acquired the football club assets or the company which acquired the football club assets So looks as if the club and stadium remain separated. Some of the figures being banded around don't make sense from the accounts. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stupid thing is had Mel not lost patience and accepted the -9 points, they’d have stayed up, they’d have probably kept Rooney, Ebosele, Ebiowei, Plange, and all the other young diamonds they had, plus a few others. But his reaction to the impending likelihood of -9 was to think they were likely to go down, so he pressed the panic button and went the whole hog into admin for another -12. But Morris knew he’d already bought himself some security with the stadium being separated. But he complicated the sale of the club as a result, and made it less attractive as a Lg1 club rather than a Champ club fighting to stay up. Rooney actually did a great job in giving optimism that even with -21 he’d give it a go. Morris has gotten out of this lightly, how Derby fans haven’t turned up at his residence with pitchforks baying for his blood I don’t know. So now the new owner will start in Lg1, under a business plan, details we don’t know of yet and a squad of players that are likely to be chased as “of professional standing” and taking up many of the 23 man squad places. We are already hearing talks of Conor Hourihane signing…on what wages, over what term (1yr max?)…hopefully that is just media talk. Looking forward to seeing the actual squad / recruitment position clarified. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is that would have to have been used to pay off the debts he had deliberately run up and he had no intention of doing that. Nor would Derby fans have accepted it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
