19 year old kid in his first season of professional football, in a struggling team, goes through an inconsistent spell. Shocker.

This.

Which seems at odds what his actual spokesperson said.

Agreed.  I can’t believe he’d break cover so publicly and directly without a really strong knowledge on the numbers / requirements.

Even if they say they have their PB identified and things need ironing out before officially announcing, I'd take that.

I think even a short one line statement reflecting some sort of progress would be appreciated.

For me the trick is being lucky enough to be with someone who I have a proper laugh with , I play too much golf but don’t do pubs and boys night out stuff so it kind of balances and the wife gets a bit of peace to get a lie in Saturday and Sunday mornings while I’m on the golf course , back in plenty of time to spend the rest of the day together walking the dogs or whatever ,

if I was ever single again for any unlucky reason I would stay that way though as I’m sure I could never find what I have now or even want to try 

This.

Did they actually set themselves a deadline?

My recollection was that they said the PB may be named in the next 10 days or so.

Wasn't it more like they said yes (in the Chris Coles interview) to positive news in the next ten days (two weeks ago exactly today) and that fans would be positively surprised with progress.

Yep, delighted that no formal offers have yet been submitted....

My view is, deadline probably 17-00 for example. 15 minutes before 3 sets of proposals will be handed over to the admin. Tonight and tomorrow the admin along with legal teams will examine the bids, tomorrow afternoon they will engage with the preferred bidder and his respective legal team. Work it all through, present to EFL on Friday. EFL agree and preferred bidder announced.

 

Is anyone else actively encouraged by the lack of noise, statements and chatter?

I suppose it’s like eBay when one bids at the last second!

That made me laugh! 

Setting off from darn Sarf in 30; is it raining back home in Derby?

What defines Derby County to me:

The older chap who sits behind me at PPS.  I asked him once at the match “how are you mate?”

“Not bad.  Apart from the fact I’m here”. 
 

????

No stars!  
 

Respect the past, but look forwards.

Well done Chris Coles and Jamie Thrasivoulou.  Both on Radio 4's Today programme at about 7:20 this morning.

Well done for getting up at that inhospitable time of the morning!

If it's not going to be them, then it'll be someone else before long. The EFL's legacy ladies and gents.

I hope that should we come through this on the other side, that we rally around and show our support for whoever does end up being next. It's really not nice, and fans mocking our situation clearly don't know how it feels, a bit of unity with another side in trouble would go a long way.

I feel quite a lot of kinship with Bury after this brutal ordeal and I’ve made a point of going to Gigg Lane if they can resurrect. 

Definitely gonna watch that one back tomorrow! What a pleasure - Beilik, Byrne, Ebosele…

We have been in 4 playoff finals been to 3, only one i coud'nt go to was the west brom one, now my fam beg me not to go.??. Have to agree the Leicester one was the worst, with the leicester fans celebrating on the bridges.

Euro 2020 final at Wembley, penalties.  I turn to the random bloke next to me and ask “are we gonna do this?”

”Well”, he says, “I’m a Derby fan and I always lose here”.  I smiled sadly, pulled out my Rams COVID mask, and we both knew we were doomed. 

Sad, but 100% true.

So.. What’s more depressing than the (no) takeover. 
 

NOT A 4King POLL.

a) The Leicester Play Off Final Defeat.

b) The QPR Play Off Final Defeat.

c) The Villa Playoff Final Defeat.

God I’m depressed now…..

 

QPR - tragedy we never saw how good the Bryson Martin Hughes Thorne et al team could be. 
 

Fozzy still in today’s lot though so the heartbeat still pumps! ?

Up the Chippenham and District League we go! 

That made me laugh after another tough day!

Any of the potential new owners there today? Saw a few more people in the Directors Box today.

Well, maybe a consortium of Jack O’Connell, Steve McClaren and Paul Simpson!

Obviously going to be several thousand.  Just hope it stays safe, positive, meaningful!

At least it’s a mutually agreed joint statement, so there’s SOME alignment!
