Derby. One in the nest and two hovering. Admins working out their final invoice, major movement expected imminently, handwringing at EFL HQ re a positive outcome. Gibson in pieces.

We ain’t going to league one, two or any further below.

Preferred bidder will be announced in time for us to make 3 signings and by the end of our game against Birmingham we’re going to be just 5 points off safety.

The EFL have done us a favour, they’ve just made Derby county a stronger club, they’ve brought us all together and that means only one thing - going up to the Premier League and as far away from the EFL as possible within the next 2-3 years.
Just imagine the celebrations when we come out of the bottom 3.

The absolute clown show that is the EFL would be at its absolute peak if they allowed us to liquidate and then start again in League Two. Talk about wanting their cake and eating it too.
I would hazard a guess that Derby County have been on TV significantly more so than any other team in the Championship this year? It seems like we've been on TV for roughly a third of our games. We are a cash cow to them and they're willing to throw their entire league structure so that they can guarantee we would be a league club and they can continue to milk us?
It's obviously good for us, honestly if it's a case of League One with a ton of debt and potential point deductions in the future due to the administration process or liquidation and a start again in League Two with a clean slate then obviously the latter makes a ton more sense. I just find it laughable how badly they're trying to screw us, now they're worried we could go bust they're wanting to protect their own investment. Rancid.

twelveincher reacted to Ghost of Clough in 32 Months January 23, 2022

Not the number of months we've been under embargo over the past 4 years (which is almost 30 months), but the number of months since our U18s won the 18/19 League title, after beating an Arsenal side featuring Bakary Saka 5-2 in the Final. The young Rams also finished 8 points ahead of a Manchester United side which contained Mason Greenwood.

From that squad, 11 have played for our first team making a combined 419 appearances.
Those still with us and are in and around the first team:
McDonald - 8 first team apps.
JBrown - 4 first team apps.
Cashin - 3 first team apps.
Buchanan - Still only 20 but has already played 60 times.
Bird - With him making 97 appearances for the Rams, he'll be hoping to make his 100th app for the club in Feb
Thompson - Missed just 12 minutes of football since coming into the side against Bournemouth, the first of his 11 appearances.
Knight - An almost ever present in the first team since the start of the following season. He has already made 100 apps and scored 11 in the process.
Sibley - Still only 20 but has 7 goals and 4 assists in his 65 first team apps.
Festy - Already a fan favourite after 23 appearances.
Stretton - Limited to just 15 appearances given his injury troubles.
Some are still with us but are yet to play for the first team:
Dixon - Named on bench twice.
Wilson - Named on bench twice.
Matthews - yet to feature in a matchday squad.
Notable players who have since departed the club:
Whittaker - 32 appearances for Derby before moving on to Swansea where he scored 5 in 22 apps. He's currently on loan at Lincoln City where he has scored 1 in 3.
Delap - Left the club in summer 2019 for Man City, he has played for their first team on 3 occasions scoring once.
And the handful of others who have left:
Charles - Joined Mansfield and played twice, who loaned him out to York City where he made 4 apps
Archie Brown - Move to Switzerland in the summer just gone to play for Lausanne-Sport. Has made 2 apps, and a further 2 out on loan.

He also shows he's a Forest fan. Dreadful challenge by Morrison?. What does that make Grabban's challenge. Forest were excellent?

twelveincher reacted to Rev in The Administration Thread January 21, 2022

He only had to put in that money because of his profligate spending!

twelveincher reacted to Mckram in The Administration Thread January 21, 2022

He’s paid us by putting in millions every year to keep us afloat. The season we sold the stadium for £80m we made a profit of £14m…only £14m. So that means he’s effectively paid £66m out on wages/transfer fees/heat/light/power etc.
I guarantee he paid and more.

twelveincher reacted to Tombo in The Administration Thread January 21, 2022

That's hardly the point is it? He repossessed the stadium to pay debts that he got us in to

twelveincher reacted to Gritstone Ram in The Administration Thread January 21, 2022

I suspect he used the money he paid for the stadium to pay off a loan the club owed him.

Surely we’ll need our players until 29 May? #believe #operationpremiership
