    Shang reacted to duncanjwitham in Athletic article on Chris Kirchner   
    Can you imagine the absolute meltdown amongst the fanbase if Morris had basically come out and said he didn't like/trust/whatever Kirchner and wasn't going to deal with him?  The same with the EFL and Quantuma really.  Kirchner passed the basic tests he was required to pass, and had all the hallmarks of a reputable businessman - it wasn't like he was that random Sheikh who may or may not be related to the Man City lot, or that Spanish guy who seemingly had very little beyond an Instagram profile (which was probably faked anyway), or any of the other chancers who cropped up over the years.  He owned a legit business, had major financing from reputable companies and was actively involved in sports sponsorships.
    If any of MM/the EFL/Quantuma etc had come out and said they weren't dealing with Kirchner, then Kirchner would have been all over Radio Derby/social media etc saying he was trying to save Derby and whoever was stopping him doing it.  It would have been chaos.

    I stand by my picks of Mount, then Tomori, then Bamford (even though he's a Bamford), with the wild card of Elsnik.
    Here's a video (with the added bonus of a Linkin Park soundtrack) of what Timi's was up to a year or so ago if anyone's interested. I always thought he could be our own Matt Le Tissier, with a wand of a left foot that could find the net from anywhere in the opponent's half (and probably sometimes from beyond the halfway line). Now a full Slovenian international:

    Shang reacted to i-Ram in Wiil you be disappointed if we finish outside the top 2???   
    For all the faff above, let’s face it some 50% of this forum are going to be disappointed if we are not in the top 2 by the end of August. Settling in time, Time to gel. My arse.

    We can be glad that Rooney held onto the job as long as he did. If he left earlier there would have been more negative press around the club and the perceived value of the club would have tanked even further.
    I wish him all the best in his new role.

    Shang got a reaction from jono in Liam Rosenior   
    I think we should definitely give Rosenior a chance. He's the one who did the on-field training translating Rooneys ideas of football into actual matches. He also knows the club inside out by now, and knows the players we've got left to use. Getting some one else new in along with a bunch of totally new squad would be a recipe for disaster as no one will know what the hell they're doing.

    That's actually one of the only positives of having Ikechi Anya around. He was in the 23s as he was frozen out but apparently was great with mentoring the kids and supporting their growth.

    This would make sense if we were still in the Baseball Ground, but who's seriously going to live in a middle of a business park? The two things that made Upton Park and Highbury desirable places to live are that they were stadiums in established, fashionable neighbourhoods and they had brilliant architecture with storied histories.
    No one will care about living on the site of old Pride Park.

    If this carries on he'll definitely be in the MLS All Star team this year. I'm really happy he's doing really well, especially since near the end of his Derby days he was thinking about giving football up.

    I tell how we can help improve is to keep postive keep behind the lads and sing nice chants about him.
    How about this chant
    Roony is a ram
    He was untied but now is a ram
    He now loves Derby
    Derby loves roony too.
    Rooony rooony rooony.

    Shang got a reaction from Van der MoodHoover in Notice to appoint administrators   
    It might be a legal thing. The club might have to publicly state it's intention of entering administration as other businesses have to before it triggers the contract. If this is correct it's just a step in the process to get things moving.

    Shang got a reaction from angieram in Man Utd Preseason, the return of the fan   
    So far:
    Ravel Morrison - Takes risks with the ball, passing it forward or playing sly passes to keep possession. Doesn't look like a rusty player at all. He's pairing really well with the Shinnie and Bird in midfield.
    Sone Aluko - He can be seen all over the pitch at the moment, loads of energy, switching from the wings to number 10. Has tracked back and acted as a second full back a couple of times. Looks to be confident with both feet, first impressions is he's a really good player.
    Sam Baldock - Constantly running past the defence and on the shoulder of the defenders. It's nice to have a striker who isn't constantly dropping back to receive the ball.
    Phil Jagielka - Not seen too much as he's done anything wrong, looks solid enough and has paired well with Davies.
     
    Overall we're dominating the ball, we're playing more attacking-minded, whenever we attack we mostly just have Davies and Jagielka back. We're comfortably playing out from the back and retaining possession too. Apart from Birds mistake that lead to the goal we haven't looked like we're being troubled.
