Leicester and Luck - do not mention Leicester and Luck in the same sentance to me
 
I still cannot for the life of me understand why Ewan Roberts was not sent off, arrested and done for assault ?

That’s because Roger “Effing” Milford was a ? ? referee and Jossy Williams couldn’t simply chest the ball and boot it into touch

true - still assault though

Darn. I hoped he would've had an excellent tournament we could've cashed him in before his contract runs out.
Shame for him and for the club. And especially me, who has to watch him play for us another season.

I thought that was a strange decision, anyway. Rubin Colwill and Dylan Levitt both seemed like strange choices to me. One's only ever played 190 minutes of senior football, and the other's spent half the season on loan at a team narrowly avoiding relegation in Croatia after not getting in at League One Charlton. Even if you ignore Tom Lawrence, it seems strange they got in over Brennan Johnson. Even if he is a Red Dog, he got 13 goals and 13 assists this season as a 20-year old at Lincoln, and I would have thought he'd have been the pick of the bunch if they wanted a young lad to go with them for the experience, but he's been left out as well. I'm glad for both of the lads that got in, mind, but it's not a decision I get.

His exclusion is understandable. You cannot continue to be so totally abject and embarrassing at taking free kicks for there not to be consequences. More one footed than Heather Mills.

Sing Knight? Would that be "Knights in white satin?
"Knight and day?"
"What a Knight?"
"The Knight they drove old Dixie down?......."?

I still think Lovre Kalinic on loan or buy from Villa would be a good shout

Great post - in fact to emphasise one of your points the bad season may bring the price down and make it more attractive. And to add another point, a global name like Wayne Rooney probably helps too.

You mean as opposed to Mansour buying City or Abramovic buying Chelsea. Neither were exactly behemoths prior to their current owners taking over, were they?
Now the flip-side; Liverpool were priced at >£2 billion when last under offer and at that price, there's no great potential for ROI, least none that I can see. The only way is down. Would Tepper buy a club as a plaything, o do you suppose he might want to build the club and secure a return on investment?
Let's take emotion out of the equation for a moment; in the good times; we can sell over 30,000 tickets for games. Derby is effectively a one club City; we are a founder member of the football league who have twice topped the pile; we have a large and loyal fan-base and a comparatively rich footballing history.
Furthermore, I'd venture it is the very fact that we are in such a mess that makes us an attractive proposition. I struggle with the fact that so many fans are unable to grasp the notion that you buy stock when it's cheap, not when it's already peaked. Why one shitty season, when we've been challenging for promotion for nigh on 10 years now, is being taken as the only viable metric.
We know there are multiple bidders currently and this without the EFL charges being put to bed. Surely there's a clue there for those who choose to see it? I've very little doubt that a consortium that brings the financial wherewithal of Tepper and the commercial skills and experience of a man like Glick, would be able to steady the ship and put us on back on a road we were already treading until 18 months ago without too much bother.

Are you saying he’s a Master at it?

Is anyone more encouraged by radio silence on all fronts that a sale may be moving on quietly in the background? After the announcements and then embarrassing social media stunts by Alonso could a more business-like offer be progressing do you think? If everything had just fallen through after his comments after the final match wouldnt WR have perhaps been more vocal or walked? Perhaps I am interpreting silence over- optimistically? Should have done a poll!

The Gabay one last year, seems an eternity ago now 

I don’t dare to dream, we will end up with Trump who will make PP into an 18 hole pitch and putt knowing our luck.  

If you told me two years ago that Mason Mount and Scott Carson would be in the Champions League final in 2021 I'd have wondered what unholy FFP breach we'd pulled off to manage that

I hope they re-advertise his job because I'm bloody amazing at drinking tea, watching football and being ignored. 

Alonso and chums return from Pride Park. 
This time next year.... 

Thanks for those memories from when I was a young man, did not know until today there was a bloke in that video ?
