"Derby County have received a major cash injection from a New York investment bank belonging to American billionaire Michael Dell. Dell is the owner of MSD Capital and records on Companies House confirm a loan was registered last week. Owner Mel Morris has been searching for additional funding for over two years having sunk millions of pounds into Bristol City's Championship rivals, hoping to get the club back into the Premier League. The club are currently awaiting the verdict from an independent disciplinary charge over a battle with the EFL over the sale and leaseback of Pride Park. Sheffield Wednesday were docked 12 points for a similar charge, however, Derby's relates to the £80million valuation of the stadium, rather than the year it was accounted for. The Telegraph report that a £30million cash injection has been borrowed against the club's assets. It is stated that Dell and Derby are talking about a range of financial arrangements, which could include a significant loan, investment or takeover. Dell was listed as the 25th richest man in the world in Forbes last year and has also held talks with a number of other clubs in England outside the top tier. The cash injection will help towards Derby's efforts of staying within the EFL's Financial Fair Play regulations, having watched Birmingham City and Wednesday lose points for breaches. It also further highlights the strain placed on all EFL clubs due to the COVID-19 crisis, which has seen very little money change hands since the summer transfer window opened." What assets do Derby have worth £30m to borrow against? Under FFP are you allowed to borrow money to stay with in it?

Don't! You're gonna make me cry.

They think that money is still in the coffers ?

Corrected it for you.

I had a go at this "amateur architect" and came up with this for them.

*Me on this thread still*

No pot

Wow, what a statement. Maybe there was more but haven't paid the electricity bill and got cut off mid statement.

Me on this thread,

Thinks they are bigger than those teams and equal with the rest.

Was going to post about the Derby for sale story. As the club and ground have 2 different owners, does he mean it's just the club for sale? Or "buy a stadium and I'll throw in a free club to play in it"

Depends if you are talking about those in the ground or the hordes locked outside.

A rovers fan has won a pasty after inspiring the design of this seasons shirt, based on the shirt the wore 30 years ago when they won the Third Division. Wow, what a design https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/bristol-rovers-new-kit-2020-3186883

Wally is probably still trying figure out how to transfer camels in to Tilsons.

This is what gets them in the mood for boob cricket

They couldn't afford to pay someone to cut the long grass.

30,000 are locked outside

Have rovers paid a fee for any player they have signed since wally took over?

I can tell you from experience what it's like to play a men against women match. I used to play in Bath and district Sunday league. During one of our practice sessions, on the next pitch we're Bath uni women's practicing. They appoched us and asked if we fancied a practice game and so we did. They absolutely smashed us! They don't piss about at all.

Bristol Rovers mascot, showing they've also got a Johnson.

Is he exposing himself?

Wally has gone too far now. Can't believe he's sold off the turf!

I contacted the Mem about their playoff final tickets... Still waiting for the telegram to come.
