BAWT can confirm a local businessman is trying to buy Pride Park Stadium from Mel Morris to facilitate
@cskirchner
takeover as the council due diligence will take too long.
However this will still require Mel Morris's approval.

BAWT is disappointed with today's statement from Quantuma and the EFL. Fans deserve clarity on a number of important issues affecting our club, including live bids, player sales, Boro/Wycombe claims, and PPS. We will continue to push for answers.

Was me, Kirchner came out the players entrance at just before 6pm and signed shirts + had photos and someone asked what’s happening and he said that Mel has agreed to meet him tomorrow morning
Further news from the Administrator:
The best thing that supporters can do is to buy tickets, food and merchandise. Deals that the club has in place mean that all of these revenue streams generate valuable income.

In order to accelerate the process to find a suitable owner, we believe the club’s best interest is for RamsTrust to step aside & allow the bid process to begin within 28 days of administrator being appointed. Could

Black & White Together, along with representatives from other supporter groups, will meet with the Administrators of Derby County on Tuesday 23rd November, for an progress update regarding a potential take over of the club

HMRC petitioned to have Derby County wound up back in January 2020, before Covid-19. It’s clear that the club was in serious trouble pre-pandemic.
We should be concerned about what else may come out, as the real facts about Derby’s finances begin to emerge
#DCFC

Black & White Together Update:
Quantuma have assured BAWT that they are still hopeful of identifying the preferred bidder for Derby County by the end of next week, this is in line with previously communicated timescale.

BAWT:
Representatives from BAWT have been in touch with the WWFC board regarding the ongoing legal case and have received a supportive and encouraging reply. Over the coming days, we hope to engage in a positive dialogue and explain the fears of
#dcfc
fans if the case is pursued.
Good luck to Team Derby in their meeting with Quantuma today.
We look forward to a full update on the situation after.
#SaveDerbyCounty

I share concerns with this painful & opaque process. We are all outside peering in, seeking clues. Can only hope PB endgame is getting close as deadlines remerge. Team Derby is meeting Quantuma tomorrow seeking basic info & assurances. We will issue a statement afterwards.
We are seeing and hearing a lot of rumours currently, none of which we can verify, so hence none we can publicise.
We are reliant on those involved in the process to be doing the right thing and quickly.
Let's hope Team Derby's faith in Quantuma is held up this week.
#dcfc
No matter how many times you knock us back, these set of lads will come back fighting even harder.
To the contingent in Fulham tonight, you were a credit to the lads, never stopped for the whole 90.
