Not really ITK, but I do know goalkeeping stuff, told Iverson is likely and that Vickers is off.
How true, I do not know, but I would trust my source 90%
On a personal scouting level that sounds good, maybe Jack Thompson will be 2nd choice, although that is my guess nothing true.

Collins going is a mistake.  Nasty buggers of the bench will be needed.

Derby County are one of the few clubs outside the prem elite that neutrals have any interest in no matter how we are doing. The reason why we end up on Sky a lot is because we can drive up viewing figures, Leeds being the only other side I can think of that people will always watch if on TV. Not many sides fall into this bracket, maybe the Sheffield teams and maybe Portsmouth could do but aside that I don’t think there’s many clubs that neutrals really maintain an interest over. 
I have no idea why aside that the atmosphere in PP and ER comes across well on TV which helps maintain interest.

Away kit is yellow 

Going into the last day with no possibility of going down would be good.
Introduce some key players that can be part of the squad for many years, rather than one or two year plans we’ve been forced to work with recently.

Holding our own, being hard to beat, staying clear of relegation trouble. Anything else would be a bonus.

Stay out of trouble without any real threat of relegation and a suggestion that we might push on the year after. There is so much parachute money floating around that I think the finances are going to dictate a slow and steady approach and we'll have to be patient.

-Signing Jamie Paterson was the beginning of the downfall
-Jamie Paterson was the worst signing Derby have every made and showed Uncle Mel didn't give a s*** anymore
-Signing Jamie Paterson was the last throw of the dice 
-The were many other options that would have worked better on the wing then Jamie Paterson-Morgan Whittaker for one
-In terms of players that can pass, shoot or run, Jamie Paterson ticked none of those boxes 
-Jamie Paterson isn't a bad human being as far as I'm aware

I don’t blame him for taking his dream job but I do blame him for not having the b******* to do it earlier when it was clear by most he was going 
we also did him a huge favour giving him a break in management then a couple of weeks before season starts and with no signings he quits…so that’s what pissed me off and left us and Cocu in the lurch and impacted greatly on our start to the season 

Dropped out of the team….following the knee injury he suffered on the pitch against Bristol Rovers on 25/11/2023 and subsequent recovery time of several weeks? Having been involved in all 17 league one matchday squads up to that point including playing 90 mins in 10 of those games? The same Korey Smith who seems to be a well liked and respected member of the squad and has from the outside seemingly always conducted himself as a top pro and played out of position for the cause? 🤔 

You could call it xG - Expected GoAhead

Steve McClaren is the most overrated manager in Derby's modern history. 
George Burley is the most underrated manager in Derby's modern history.
Nigel Clough would have got us promoted by 2016 & the manner of his sacking (night of Forest v Derby) still angers me
Sam Rush was a terrible chief exec for Derby
Philip Cocu was on the verge of cracking it at Derby before Rooney starting undermining him. He would have taken us up within 2 years.
I am extremely apprehensive about Paul Warne managing us in the Championship & dont see him lasting beyond Christmas

Not sure Bayern will let him go on a free?

OMG Can’t believe we missed out on this lump we were definitely 100% linked with this summer. 

Also Warne after 10-12 new players mostly frees and loans . But has apparently put a few bids in for contracted players one I hear is the highest we’ve spent since Jozwiak so roughly around £1m 

Wildsmith offered 2nd contract turned down.
Warne now in for Johansson 

So folks I’ve heard from my contact the following:
gone 
Wildsmith 
Waghorn
JJ
gayle 
hourihane 
smith 
forsyth - to be offered some type of coaching 
 
 
new contract offered 
Thompson 
collins 
sibley 
barks 
 
Contract offered to 3-4  out of contract players including these I’ve had confirmed 

Burrows 
Herbie Kane 
Tyrese Campbell 
 

Ed Dawes said in bbc radio derby he was talking to Dwight Gayle and as expected he doesn’t think he’ll be back at derby.

Przemysław Tadeusz Kaźmierczak is one of the biggest names ever to play for Derby. 

Jaffa cakes are neither a cake or a biscuit!! They’re a creation all of their own and deserve to have an isle in every supermarket dedicated solely to them.
Cherry Bakewell Jaffa Cakes are the greatest creation since the combustible engine.
Finally, if you squint, Susan Boyle is actually pretty f****** sexy.
Try it

Chelsea are a smaller club than Derby.  They've just had 25 years of Oligarchs money, Man City aren't any bigger than Derby, West Ham are smaller despite the delusion as are Leeds who only came to prominence in the 60's then disappeared again for 15 years, then again after that.  Sunderland are a bigger club than Newcastle whose support in the 90's when they were crap sucked.  I saw it.  I dislike Leicester fans more than Forest as they are all w******.  
The premier league was a far lower quality in 07/08  than when we were it before and it's worse now.
