Bury were one thing but not Derby. Administration and points deduction maybe but not liquidation.
One of their creditors is HMRC (£20 million). They are not slow when it comes to issuing winding up orders. At the moment because of Covid there ios a repayment "holiday" but that won't last for ever.

As said someone will probably come galloping over the horizon but buying into football in today's economy is a lot less attractive than it was a few years ago isn't it ?

Bring the game back to a bit of it`s normality and it`s roots.

The big 6,well 5 :lol: ,winning everything year on year,while the rest are meant to be happy making up the numbers.
Totally agreed......Had the big 6 demoted from Premier League now, West Ham could have won the Premier League in style with only 3 losses (twice with Barcodes and once with Toffee).

I think Derby could go to administration and there sanction awaiting but not sure if it this season or next season to start at -12 points or -6 like Sheff Wed did.

If those greedy big 6 is out of Premier League and EFL Leagues, our football shape would be better like in the 1900s to 1960s and I would dance in the street with the Hammerettes.
You do realise we were a Southern league side then mainly a Second division side in them halcyon days you mention don’t you ?

Was it numbers wno predicted this or was it the other way round and clubs not going bust bullshit?
Anyway, fair do's to our beloved owners for keeping tight purse strings in these trying times. No good splashing the cash for glory if you're not gonna be around for long. Kudos to the Daves I say. :D
Just like my dreams they fade and die.
But on the positive side..............

Some Spanish Consortium were buying them but pulled out when they discovered 60m worth of debt.

I dream about only having 60m of debt.

Big 6 have got absolutely nothing to do with various Derby boards in the past spending more money than they earn. How is that the fault of the Big 6, Sky, UEFA , The United Nations, Greenpeace or anyone else ?

It is a business simply spending money it doesn't have. OK the people who lend them the money to waste are also responsible but at the end of the day they'll lose out anyway.
Where did I mention Derby?

I am just saying in general..I'd love a Football re-start in this country..F*CK THE 6 WHO THINK THEY ARE BIGGER THAN FOOTBALL!

I mentioned Derby in my post. You said it's one of the reasons you wished the "Big 6" had left. So I assumed you were blaming the usual suspects, the "big 6" and Sky for the state of today's football finances.
