So, Kirchner ……

It was said on RD by Ed Dawes that there were 2 consortium's trying to buy PP

I've just received a text saying the stadium deal is done. Nothing on social media just yet to validate, anyone heard anything to confirm this?

I can’t see anything .. how good is your source Desi ?

The ground has been purchased by Clowes Developments.

Sorry, Clowes deny this:

Afternoon all,

Latest update I got, ( how sound the source is time will tell ) is that Clowes are interested and in the process of completing the transaction.

Why they've been advised to say they are not instead of ' no comment' I'm not entirely sure.

Fingers crossed this saga comes to an end early next week so that we can start dreaming about players coming in ( and retaining the nucleus of the current squad ideally.)

Enjoy your weekend.

...must admit I thought that "may" be the case... let's face it no one is going to admit to it until its a done deal. You don't show your hand until you're ready... so... fingers crossed 🤞...UTR

If Clowes are interested I imagine that the interest in all probability lies with the majority shareholder personally; ie it would be a personal, not a company investment. This may explain why the Clowes official, when asked, said he knew nothing about it. Why would he?

Of course I may be completely wrong!

A cynic might think that they've made this announcement to appease Derby fans and buy them a bit more time.

One would like to assume that everything is in place just waiting to be signed but this The admins, Derby, Mel and Fawaz (sorry Kirchner) that's not to mention a huge whack of debt including nearly £30m to HMRC.

I hope he's not a chancer, but I wouldn't start spending his pennies just yet, Rams.
