Joel Moore (another Derby traitor on Twitter who is going against the "Fight 'till the end" narrative) 139. Lech Poznan (for having the audacity to ask for money owed to them) 140. Kieran Maguire 141. Truth 142. HBB 143. Evangelos Marinakis 144. David (moderator on the DCFC Fans forum) 145. "Interested parties"

Thanks EA, I had read it as 'Quantuma' had been appointed as joint administrators i.e. Quantuma as an entity and A N Other. All makes sense now.

The wording on the press release is ambiguous: https://www.quantuma.com/insights/quantuma-appointed-joint-administrators-derby-county-football-club "Andrew Hosking, Quantuma managing director and joint administrator, said: “I can confirm that Andrew Andronikou, Carl Jackson and I were appointed joint administrators of Derby County FC today." All three work for Quantuma.

In this case: 11, 12 & 13 attempts

This springs to mind:

On a slight tangent there is an interesting 6 part programme on BBC Sounds about the fraudster who took over Notts County. That didn't end well. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0bq3935

Same here, I had one correct letter and one other letter going into the last round.

PRISM, sometimes ADIEU. On Quordle I start with PRISM, AGONY & CUBED and wing it from there.

No doubt a new phoenix administrator will rise in its place.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-59932429 Bob Saget, US comedian - starred in Entourage and How I met your mother.

Lake Palmer also appeared on an episode of Trisha - it's on YouTube. The heading was 'British women make lousy wives'.

This sums up The X Factor for me. The easily offended should not listen.

It's Grim Up North (Bristol)

They could always borrow a set of shirts from Scotty.

But they were expecting big crowds for an arena.

Unless all they've seen is the SAG's marketing which always includes images of Ashton Gate.
