Warnock there is no other choice

He retired.

Sad he's gone cause he was a good guy in the end but at the same time we can finally rid ourselves of the Mel Morris circus era.

Rosenoir, held in high regard and if Blackpool thought he was the right man then he must have something about him. Rather than pay a named manager a big wage i'd rather give Rosenoir a chance and spend it on player wages getting the right lads in. Maybe he could bring in an experienced first team coach to work with him.

Now I don't want to sound like a 'Killjoy', but with DC being a wealthy, local businessman who is also a life-long Derby County fan, have we not all heard something not too dissimilar to this before from a certain Mel Morris?  Just sayin'!

Loads of other clubs that do well with local businessmen that are fans, one anecdote isn't a full trend.

Hm ... so Q decided not to consider a bid from billionaire MA, with unquestionable football experience.

They overlooked Applebys consortium, a man with years of experience of managing derby previously. A man who didn't previously leave derby in a huge amount of debt.

Q has once again selected a person with zero experience of managing a football club.

Mm was supposedly a derby fan, who was a local businessman with a lot of money. Yet he left the club in a horrible place.

So now Q send in the clowns, I mean Clowes, is he similar person to MM. On paper it would appear, that way, at least in as much as he's meant to be a fan of derby and is wealthy local.

Like mm he's supposedly a long term fan of derby county. 

I can't understand Q reasoning here.

Surely Appleby or MM would be better owners of derby, than a total unknown.

Actually what am I saying, Q just have to put forward the highest bid as the preferred bidder.

They don't really care if its in the best interests of the fans.

I wonder if Q will face legal action from Appleby of MA on this, only time will tell.

 

Quantuma are there is get maximum value for the creditors mate, you live in a fantasy land if you think they care how the club is run after they leave.

Stretton has the ability to be exactly where he needs to be to knock the ball in the net.
Out of our entire squad, he had the best minutes per goal ratio last season (a little bit ahead of Lawrence and Kazim, significantly better than Baldock and Plange)

He got so close to getting on the end of things so many times, he has the instinct I feel like he just needs games and maybe a bit better understanding with the guys putting the balls in.

Appleby vs Ashley bidding war then, feels like we are actually making progress now due to some actual real scrutiny on Quantuma.

I'm not sure what precisely he said he cashed out of. Did he say he's out of crypto assets entirely or was it that he cashed of bitcoin but bought loads of other crypto assets?

 

From memory I've only seen him reference Bitcoin but there could be other stuff.

Oh no 

 

He said he'd already cashed out a couple of years back.

Guess 8am eastern us time?

But his money was allegedly in a "European clearing house"

He probably cancelled that transaction and sent again via different method. To be fair no one else is putting the cash up so far by the sounds of things so he might have a bit of time yet.

Are we really going to go down the preferred bidder status route again and the time that takes ? Can’t someone just buy us and put us all out of our misery????

Already been said they won't be selecting a PB again it'll be whoever turns up first with the right amount of cash.

It's all kicking off now, another quiet day as a Rams fan.

No-one seems to question where Forest get their money from.

Drug boats, money laundering, successful bribe outcomes and questionable Olympiakos transfers.

Has Dawes jumped the gun here to get an exclusive? Seems like it's quite more complex than saying it's going to collapse.

I’m listening to talksport now and I fully blame this forum 

The England should win everything brigade out in force on this.

The only people stressing about this are impatient fans, literally everyone involved with the deal and club are perfectly relaxed as has been confirmed from multiple sources. It'll happen just chill. If players can't wait a few days for if we promise to sign them then I don't really want them here anyway.

You Betta believe these fish puns can go to the next level, Kirchner just needs to complete the Dealfish.

Good job your not our manager, you'd bankrupt us with your decisions.

He will not be sold for that derisory amount.

Stephen Pearce is still here mate, he'll go on transfermarkt to get the fee and sell him for 50k.

If GGG doesn't sort that body conditioning out it will be a short night, he was almost buckled in half by Murata and Canelo is a devastating body puncher. Fair play though to still be chasing the dream at 40 years old, personally I hope he gets revenge for the 1st fight when they robbed him.

A right load on nonsense being posted about CK having a night out. So what - hadn't he been up until 3am on Thursday or Friday night in discussions with Rooney and maybe felt it was time to chill out.

Big deal!

Guy just wanted to wind down after a pretty stressful time, I don't really begrudge him that. At least he is here getting involved and not just some foreign owner wanting an asset from afar. 

Remember Dawkins tearing Fulham a new one at PP, for what we paid he was more than decent.

He sure did have a good eye for talent, who remembers Junior.

Junior and Svensson upfront, they had a nice little run together. Remember them scoring a nice goal at forest that never seems to get replayed these days. I was there, we should have won a couple of times back then but forest skanked equalisers. i think it was a 1-1 and a 2-2, remember Michael Johnson rattling the crossbar in the 2-2.
