    I've stopped caring what other fans perception of us are. There's probably dozens of clubs who could be in financial difficulties, if some of loopholes used by these clubs were closed by the ELF. 
    Unfortunately Morris rubbed certain ELF officials and club chairmen the wrong way, with his views on how poorly the league was organized and run. So they shut down the loophole he was using, while ignoring all the other loopholes being used by various clubs.

    Sorry but can't feel any relief, excitement on hearing the news. With all the conditions in the contract that's been signed, it still leaves the club in limbo, unable to sign players and sell season tickets. It's just an extension under another name.

    Before I can think about looking forward to next season, I need the new owner to be in place by next week, so Rooney or whoever is our manager, will have the time and hopefully the financial resources to assemble a squad that is capable of competing in this league. Then I'll look at how many of the 8 grounds I've never been to, I'd like to visit.

    I don't think there's anyone that is truly committed to wanting to spend the money required to buy the club and the stadium.
    If someone does eventually put pen to paper and buy the club, it will come to late to stop those players that have said they would like to stay signing for other clubs. Also most if not all of those still under contract, to save money, will be gone along with Rooney and the rest of the management team. Leaving  whoever comes in as manager, needing to build an entire new squad, probably on a shoestring budget. Meaning we will start next season at a considerable disadvantage and little chance of vying for promotion. 
    Sorry this is all just speculation probably due in part to my glass half empty demeanour and with how every potential buyer has acted during the bidding process.
    With this latest hold-up to the club being sold. I'm more worried than I've felt all this season, that the next time I watch a Derby team play. It will be a supporter owned club called AFC Derby County, who are ground sharing with Mickleover Sports and playing none league football after being liquidated. I
    I suppose we might be able to buy PPS in ten or so years time, after we've climbed back up through the divisions.  That's if Mel hasn't managed to sell PPS after finding another use for it. Maybe he could put the previously rumoured roof on it and Ashley could buy it to use as a Sports Direct warehouse.

    The whole season as been my highlight. Much of this isn't just due to any results but the passion shown by the fans and their connection with the players which as been phenomenal.
    Yes we may have been relegated and it may be a little perverse on my part but the pride, exhilaration and even joy I've had this season, I'd put this season up there with the 13/14 season which also ended with disappoint. And other than the 06/07 season  play-off games, this season as given me more pride in the Rams than that promotion season.

    It may have been a poorly built stand but we should be thankful that it wasn't the temporary one that was there afew year ago, when the stadium was being modernised. That would have collapsed under the strain of 4000 fans bouncing.

    The more I listen to the rhetoric coming from Quantuma the more I'm convinced that there is more chance of us being liquidated than there is of a new owner being found willing to pay what Q want.
    How are Q arriving at what they think is fair price for the club? 
    If the club was to be liquidated this very minute, what money would Q be able to offer to the club's creditors?
    What as the club stands today are it's actual assets? Rightly or wrongly I assume that the main assets are the players that will still be under contract at the end of the season. What the fees that could be obtained for these players is very subjective. Meaning any money raised could be far less than Q thinks they could get from their sale.
    So why are Q not willing to accept one of the offers presently tabled? Wouldn't an offer that is more than the clubs current assets, be more acceptable to the creditors than what they would receive through the club being liquidated.
    While the sale of the ground may muddy the water for any potential buyer. Surely the sale of the stadium is a matter that can only be resolved between the new club owner and morris and should have no baring on what the administrators are doing.
