What happens if they fold, who gets their place ?
No one, they'll just have 1 less relegation spot i do believe |
| I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas
The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara
I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best |

Probably nobody but it definitely won't save Scunny from relegation. Oldham might have faint hopes but the pyramid will run with one less relegation for a season again to allow normality to be restored I imagine. |

I think Gillingham would be reprieved in L1 & Oldham in L2. I think given they have no money if somebody doesn't come forward by Friday they are in huge trouble. But that's how Mike Ashley likes it. He'll pick them up for a rock bottom price. |

Surely it's harsh to make it one less relegation as those teams are already weeks down the line in their preparation for next season so Gillingham are building for a season in League 2 where they aim to win more than they lose and get a reprieve so end up playing their League 2 team in League 1 meaning they are whipping boys and finish rock bottom? |

I doubt that would worry them if they got to stay in League 1 and have a do-over. |

Yeah, I can't imagine Gillingham would turn down the chance to stay in League 1 with the extra £550,000 in TV Money & Solidarity payments that come with it. |

Bit premature this. The deal has not collapsed and even if it does Mike Astley will nip in and buy them. His business is based in Derbyshire and he has already expressed interest.

Who's that? Rick's dad? The deal has collapsed. The guy didn't have the money as many predicted. PNE broke off negotiations with him when he couldn't provide proof of funds. It's hardly surprising the same has ultimately happened with Derby too. Mike Ashley is interested. That is common knowledge. But the numbers will have to add up for him to be interested. He doesn't buy distressed businesses out of the kindness of his heart. He buys them because they offer him and his portfolio of business interests something. If he does takeover you can be guaranteed that Derby will be starting the season with another points deduction. No way is he paying 25% of their debt off, |

Mike Ashley will be aiming to pick up Derby at the 11th hour to save them from the brink of extinction. At that point, everybody is willing to accept virtually any offer and Mike Ashley bags himself what he considers to be a bargain. If Mike Ashley ends up buying Derby, the deal goes to the wire. |

Exactly. He'll pick them up at 11th hour for the lowest price at the expense of the creditors. He'll stabilise the club over a few seasons with the aim of getting them back into the Championship where he can sell them on for a tidy profit. |
