I was thinking the same stuff whilst walk-in king the hound this morning . Despite the normal propensity for scrotes to drop their tinnies with flamboyant abandon , this morning there was not a single can to kick up,or indeed down, any road.
The truth is that the price to exit admin is too high a price for the bidders even if they knew were were to remain in the championship. To cough up £40/50M plus the ground ??
I’m sure the likes of Mike Ashley understand we will be league 1 at best next season . If you hold your cash . Pay £33m let’s say , take 15points but then spend £10- 20m plus storming to the playoffs … then without running that through Excel I’m sure you are financially and momentum wise better off
For me it’s Ashley .. playing a close hand of cards and prepared to pay only when the circumstances are right for him
Squeaky B time indeed
And a parity of cans
Feck them all

Parsity not parity

You mean parcity, paucity or sparsity?
I'm a child of the Poll Tax 'protests' and the Miners strike and the American Embassy in Amsterdam and Make Poverty History and various employment actions so would welcome some kind of venting at Pride Park.
Mrs View will be accompanying me tomorrow but she will probably sit quietly somewhere not venting.
Follow Vidal!!!
I agree Hinton. I think Ashley is employing brinkmanship and he can probably afford to as he has no real motivation for saving the club out of any kind of emotional involvement or empathy. It's a business deal. If he doesn't get the club it's not the end of his world. I don't doubt he wants it, just not at any price.
Likewise, I think Ashley is being very clever about playing his hand and I don't blame him at all.
It's a dangerous game for us, but not for him as he is holding the trump card.
Ashley is a cvnt. You want him nowhere near your club. He will play a long game and doesn't give a sh.t what league you are in. In fact the more distressed a sale the better for him. He will run you at a profit and if that means cold hearted views on investment so be it. His main interest is in taking money off a loyal fan base that he knows won't fack off and support another club.
Better that than no club at all ...
Apparently a press conference at 11.30 according to Sky

I’m renowned for leaving smellchocker to do the decking work . Clearly it hasn’t a clue
LACK OF. is what I meant.
As in lack of cans, good news, hope, owner ,players
Samuel Johnstone had a lot to answer for with his fandangled dictionary
Feck em all
It will be Ashley … by a fat head … probably!
Or death and glory
Whatevs .. as the kids say
While I totally understand the frustration of Vidal (I feel it myself of course) I think it could be horribly counterproductive if the fans do anything to disrupt the game tomorrow. We need three points and nothing less. The players would be seriously distracted by toilet rolls or anything else thrown on the pitch. While we still have a chance, however thin, of staying up the fans should be doing all in their power to urge the players on to a win, not put them off. No problem with chants agin EFL or whoever and I agree that Quantuma's reasoning against fans dishing out abuse is BS but leave the tennis balls, balloons, whatever at home. Anyway, there could be a shortage of trs ere long if covid re-asserts itself!

You young'uns...tsk tsk
I am less concerned about relegation than the future of the club. Personally I believe that the chance of avoiding relegation has gone and that the 2 most probable outcomes that face us are either beginning life in League 1 on -15 points or else being liquidated. So I may well be wrong, it has happened many times before after all, but I don't actually think it would be counter-productive to do something that would generate publicity and get the football world talking once again about what a tragedy it would be to lose one of its founder members and a club about to celebrate the 50th anniversary of being champions of England. Only eleven other clubs have won the League since we last managed it. Let's not go quietly into the dark night.
Well said, Vidal
We've even got Collymore on our side, after all we've said about him
Yes, I take back whatever I might have said about his hat.
I still think it is too soon and would be wrong to engage in any conduct which could disrupt or cause abandonment of tomorrow's or any game. Of course we all want DCFC to survive. We are apparently funded to the end of the season and bidders know this. They may well want to carry brinkmanship to its extreme but no amount of demonstrating will hurry them along, esp the likes of Ashley. If by say, mid-April we know we will be relegated and there is still no PB then consider chucking the kitchen sink onto the pitch. But please give Rooney and the lads a chance to secure our status first. He made a fantastic, honest statement of his position in his press conference today so I strongly feel he, his staff and players deserve the best from all fans at least til the fat lady sings.
Yes, fabulous interview with Wayne on RD
For 90 mins, get totally behind the lads
However, I find Q"s statement to the fans yesterday to be insulting and potentially inciteful
Fighting to the end, doesn’t include trying to get games abandoned by throwing toilet roll!
Stick to what you good at, get behind the team!
It’s not over yet
It worked before against Fulham. No we don’t want any trouble. There is such a thing as bad publicity. Been riding around on buses called Vidal all week.
