No Dave. An administrator is an individual person. Those people work for Q, and so people refer to them as "Quantuma". But legally the administrators are Hosking, Andronikou, and Jackson. It is they who are 'joint'. They act as individuals, and have personal liability. You appoint multiple so that there is always someone who can sign stuff and deal for the Company.

It is not ambiguous on the companies house filing form 30 Sep 2021.

 

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.

Out of interest, when Quantuma were appointed, they were announced as “joint administrator”….is that because they are working jointly with Derby.  If so, then is Morris still in effect, involved?

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.

Perhaps people should educate themselves with statistical modelling before posting in this instance. 400 isn't great, but gives confidence interval of roughly +/- 5% I believe. I think the gold standard for polling is often around 1000 respondents and the accuracy of polling follows the law of diminishing returns from then on. 

What would be more interesting is the polling methodology and questions used. But that is an entirely different topic.

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.

It's not like any football administration I've seen before.

The first duty of administrators is to the creditors- is this being fulfilled?

They almost deserve to go bust because of how they're continuing in administration.

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

Well, @EmissionImpossibleand @JamesBCFC you reacted to my post above with a ‘confused’ emoji so I thought I’d explore that - you obviously don’t identify with, or understand, my thoughts or musings and that is probably because you belong to the X-Factor, Britains’s Got Talent, Strictly Come Dancing, Reality TV shite generation?

I’m sure you will correct me if i’m incorrect ... but my post highlighted a time when kids could seriously identify with the bands who were high profile at the time - and that was because we knew that they were the same age as us and they had grafted so, so hard to get a record deal - they had rehearsed in their Dad’s garage with their mates and then when they were confident enough they took their songs all over the UK, playing five, six, seven nights a week at horrendous venues just hoping to get spotted.

They worked harder than any X-Factor winner who wouldn’t know the first thing about honest graft or how to pick up a guitar and learn how to play it from scratch - we loved our heroes because they were just like us - they didn’t get flown out to a Simon Cowell mansion, somewhere exotic to practice an horrendous bubble gum pop song cover version to perform in front of brain dead couch potatoes on a Saturday night ready to vote by pressing the red button .... our heroes were real ... and a great example, like him or love him, is Bryan Adams - his band has been together since they were 14 years old, practising in his Dad’s old barn in the ‘70s and early ‘80s and making it to the top ... proper blokes, proper musicians - and the same goes to legends like The Jam, The Specials, The Clash etc, etc, etc .... 

I can understand somewhat why you are ‘confused’ but our heroes were real, not manufactured and pampered, and the reality they displayed through their playing and lyrics made us pay homage to them at a time when their outpourings were so refreshing and honest.

I get the impression your heroes will be forgotten in a matter of years, whereas ours will live forever ... hectic, heady days ... they were just awesome ...

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

If I were Oxford I'd leave the kit behind, then Matty can pull on a Gas Shirt (he may initially puke up) then bag the winner, as a City Player, wearing a Gas Shirt. I'm pretty sure a few of them who aren't the brightest may have an outer body experience (like Bobby in the shower on Dallas) and actually think that Matty never actually left and is still playing for them.

They could always borrow a set of shirts from Scotty.

Dont think Wael has much time left given the feelings that Rovers fans are venting across social media sites.

It would be interesting to find out wjo the "third party" is who made an offer for the land.

And as we all know, the area got a big fat NO from BCC for the proposed new Arena because of the transport network and parking.

No reason to think they would allow a new BRFC stadium here as well.

 

 

 

 

But they were expecting big crowds for an arena.

This is the problem for me, anyone that can afford to be in talks with the sags can't be stupid enough to not know what they're getting involved in, fancy office in London or not.

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