Does anyone remember League 1 Derby County? (STILL the worst team in history!)

Rangers started the liquidation process at the start of June I think after about 4 months in admin after being unable to agree a CVA. The goodwill was then brought and transferred to Rangers Sevco (or whatever it was called) the new company applied to transfer their membership of the SPL across to the newco but failed and so were then placed in the lowest Scottish division (4th?) but none of the players agreed to carry their contracts over to the new club so left.

Now insolvency laws in Scotland are a bit different than in England if I remember from my old days in Finance.

It was a mess but I think pales into comparison with what DCFC face as they had all the pieces in place already to just go again as they owned their ground for example and it all came with the club ready to go and they were a massive draw still.
You're correct, insolvency law is different to England. We have to engage specialists north of the border if a Scottish company comes to us.

I've been banned off their site again by some precious darling. This time for 3 months.

Fair play to Red Dawn on there who has somehow managed to con them into trusting him as he has found the perfect balance between friendliness and banter

Actually don't know what I did to be honest. Apparently it was for being a WUM but nothing I said was inflammatory. Ah well

That’s not them wanting to stay, that’s them so desperate to get away they will take them to court
Its leaving on a free if the Rangers approach is taken as well so the asset value decreases further for the club/purchaser!

Bit of a mix of messages isn't it? . If the club is sold it implies a lack of administration. The point they are making here is if a newco is founded to avoid paying debts, that's in the event of liquidation and a new company being founded.

Presumably they’d form a newco on takeover too, since they will be consolidating the rats nest of different companies Mel created out of Derby

A newco would be founded. IIRC, the same happened when we were purchased by Marinakis and Fawaz, so, it wouldn't be surprising.

But they allude to them forming a new company to avoid paying the debts , that’s liquidation.

Every day I visit this thread in the hope of seeing something concrete: a done deal for a transfer of ownership, confirmation that all c reditirs have been paid off, confirmation that the EFL have been provided with (and have audited and confirmed) evidence that Direby have the financial resources in place to commence and complete the fixtures for the whole of the coming season, or failing that confirmation that the EFL have ordered the club to be wound up and dismissed them from the league.
Every day I am disappointed that none of these outcomes has materialised.
The train is still heading full tilt for the drop into the deep, deep quarry, and no one seems to be prepared to do anything other than watch it go over the edge.
It is a mystery!

A Newco would likely be formed then "trading as Derby County Football Club". If they trade as that then either it has to be with agreement by creditors to a CVA or it would be through a pre-pack liquidation. They won't be able to get out of paying the debt without doing one or the other.

Cue “what yer drinking“ thread on LTLF getting heavy traffic within moments of said announcement

Well... fixtures are out tomorrow for these people.

EFL will have to do SOMETHING before that else the season will become the farce they bent over to avoid this season.

So are we thinking that there may be some movement (sale or golden share removal) by close of business (potentially very late) today and well before 9am fixture announcement?

I imagine they will announce League 1 fixtures with Derby included, and then allow them until the first couple of weeks into the season to get something sorted. Same scenario as they applied to Bury couple of seasons ago.
