Mel Morris was seeking investment at Derby just before the lockdown and it failed to materialise so it wouldn’t surprise me if they’re not in trouble also Bricking it over Rooney's contract? Don't 32Red pay his contract and he wears number 32?

Just read that there are 10 interested parties in buying thw club. 10!! Christ we couldn't muster 2 when the icelanders wanted to sell up, and yet poxy Wigan have 10. Makes you wonder why we were so unappealing. Compared to Wigan we must have something going for us surely. This is a different era, foreign consortiums want to get into English football. For all we know, nine of the 10 groups interested in Wigan could be on a par with the Shanahans, a couple of blokes who own a pie shop or something.

Bricking it over Rooney's contract? From what I gather his wages are paid by 32Red Yes but is that allowed? Otherwise we could get all our players wages paid by bet365 and get round the FFP rules that way.

There are 3 slots and we’re only 3pts off bottom spot.

Just bear in mind that cash strapped Wigan's recent form has been helped by the purchase of a defender that they couldn't afford to purchase!
And that is why 12 point deduction should stand

Its a terrifying prospect looking at what is happening with Wigan. Obviously not guaranteed to turn out like that for us if it ever happened but man I don’t want to find out right now, I want Coates to sort his bloody shit out.

I think it's basically the money they sponsor Derby for covers his wages and he wears their number. The sponsorship basically depended on Rooney signing etc so technically not doing anything wrong. Is like spending all the sponsorship money on 1 player. Imagine say BET365 sponsored us for 3 million a season in the Prem and we used the entire fund to pay Shaqiri and he wore the number 365

[br I agree on the beware and have said all among be very careful what we wish for as far the family are concerned right now we are bait without them another incredible achievement by the Numpty Scholes Agreed, whilst there has been mismanagement on mismanagement the silver lining is that I think the family do care and do want to want the club to succeed and are willing to put money in to rectify things. We need a root and branch clear out, a bit like letting an infected wound develop into gangrene and then possibly kill you this is what has happened. We have tried to put stickers/plasters anything on the wound to heal it but actually just needed to cut the bloody thing off and start again. Unfortunately the rot has set in now and we will have to wait to see how far we fall before we can start to rise back up again...

But surely not here where a person buys the Company and within a few weeks or so, apparently, refuses to put money in to keep things going and applies for administration.

The takeover was approved on the promise monies were paid from what I read in the Wigan site and they weren't as Wigan have avoided admin previously on the basis of this takeover/investment deal going through. Seems they've been on the brink for months
