Did we have a sell on clause for Liam? Saints apparently have bid 16 mill for him ?

We did but had to cash it in for I believe £500k to keep us afloat during Admin ?

Decided to look up 'my' brick from 1997 when Pride Park was built last Saturday before the Hertha Game.

Came across this nearby - says it all.   Who would have known back in 1997 !!!

I would imagine, in Byrnes case, getting signed by an EFL team may be problematic if the EFL are on our side. So it’s a prem  team or abroad but that is still risky. Maybe he’s waiting to see what happens with Buchanan or hasn’t had an offer 

Since when have the EFL ever been on our side ????

Both Buchanan and Bryne are a word that starts with the first letter of their names. And it isn't brilliant.

Yes very disappointing. Bellingham at Birmingham had the right idea. Signed a new contract then immediately sold to Borussia for up to £30m. No wonder Birmingham 'retired' his shirt number as a thank you. !!

Hope Derby retain their registrations and fight for compensation. Every £ helps.

I don’t like too see topics locked, prefer to see them drift down the board naturally when they are no longer being discussed.

So that's imminently them is it David ??

Sorry I saw my first match in 1959 but I am in tears now together with my 40 year old daughters. ?

Allsop                6  Nothing to do.

Knight               7   Thought he played well at right back. Great energy.

Forsyth              6

Davies               7   Mr Consistancy.

Cashin               7

Thompson        8  Thought he played well especially in the first half. Very lively.

Bird                    7

Morrison           6

Ebiowei             6

Lawrence          6

Sibley                6

Allsop  -       6  Some good stops with feet but also too many 'scary' moments

Byrne           7 

Forsyth        6  Scored the goal. 

Davies         6   Martin still getting a lot of those flick on's.

Stearman    4  Not his day. Not played for along while and it showed. Does not look comfortable trying to play out from the back.

Thompson  5

Bird             6

Morrison     7 

Watson       6  Tried but nothing really came off

Ebiowei       8  Regularly beat his man and created some excitement. Maybe needed to involve team mates more but that will come.

Cybulski      4   Isolated. No service, but will be having nightmares about that miss !

Sibley          5   Lively when he came on.

Knight          5

Plange         5

Robinson     5  Looked composed during his short spell.

I can go on about the late '50s and'60s of you want ?

Do you remember the Liverpool 2-0 game in the early 60's with Bill Curry and Mick Hopkinson scoring from what seemed about 50 yards and Curry's battle with Ron Yeats!.  Can still see those goals now, incredible atmosphere at the BBG. 

I think we will be back "imminently" ?

Nice to see a Directors Box pretty full last night as well!

Who was the guy in the retro shirt next to CK?

Any takers for this ?  He seemed to be part of a group of 5 men I think. Saw them outside pre game taking pictures of themselves in front of the main entrance.

Just a word of caution - it's not a done deal yet.

I believe Wigan went through 3 preferred bidders before a deal was done.

I bet Gibson is laughing his socks off !!

His delaying tactics working much better than he ever expected. Without the spurious claim this would

have been settled by now and for a higher bid.

This seems to cover his background !!

Allsop                8         Good game. Confident handling. Just wished he didn't go so far out of his goal as 'sweeper'.

Byrne                 7

Ebosele             7

Davies               7

Cashin               8        Thought he handled that thug Morris very well.

Bird                    7        Best game for a while

Bielik                  7         Rock steady

 Morrison          8.5      2 goals but much more creative as well. His best game of the season.

Lawrence          6         Those 3 missing games could be the difference.

Ebiowei             6.5       Good full debut

Plange               6          Should have score. Thought he had 'blown it' with his assist for the first. A tough game for him.

I think what is coming through now is just how effective in a negative sense has Gibson's spurious claim been.The delay caused by the claim and the way the EFL dealt with it (not) has meant that as each week has past the value of the Club has got less.

I genuinely believe that the Administrators thought they had a deal at Christmas only for it to be scuppered by the EFL effectively not having to comply with English Law.

Likewise something must have changed significantly  in the last 10 days, most probably Ashley reducing his bid.

We may well carry on until the end of the season in a playing sense but we will still be under an embargo and will almost certainly lose all of the non contracted players and youngsters. 

So we may not be liquidated but as good as - starting from scratch and on -15 points.

What a mess !!!

Allsop               6     Nothing to do but wished he wouldn't come to the half way line so much !!

Byrne                8     Thought he played well today.

Forsyth             6

Davies              7

Cashin              9     Great debut.  Well done lad.

Bird                   6

Bielik                6       Coming back to his best ?

Knight              6       Super energy but being really critical need more end product.

Ebosele           5        Didn't look fit or want to risk his hamstring ?

Lawrence        3        Idiot

Plange             5

Sibley              7        Looked lively even before his goal.

Morrison         5        Played far too deep when he came on.

I must send him a thank you letter . In it I'll thank him for an extra 2 million quid in loans, an extra 2.5 million in admin fees,  not being able to sign any loans in January, losing 3 young players for 2 million quid in January, selling the extras for Delap for 10% of there worth, allowing a battling midfielder - ideal for games like tomorrow for 30k, not being able to negotiate contracts for young players or any players out of contract in 6 months potentially losing millions and affecting club saleability, losing potentially the player of the year as we couldn't extend his contract and causing everyone 6 months of stress at the tail end of one of the most stressful 2 years in history.  

Have I missed anything apart from a love heart.

Gibson is still a Banker. He stretched this out as long as he could.

He could have settled this months ago.  Think of the damage he has done to DCFC and players we have lost 

during that time. No forgiveness from me. Never will be any.

Amazing how many 'Gibson saves Derby' 'Fair play to Steve Gibson' or 'Gibson initiates talks' comments I am seeing.

Did he respond to Mel ? I hope he does not get a penny and Mel now sees him in court as long as a takeover can now go ahead.
