That would seem like a shocking decision to let him go.
When you're in a position where you only have a handful of contracted players, I'm not sure you could get a much better LB at that level than Fozzy.

Well that's a goodbye if ever I've heard one.
Best of luck wherever you end up, Tom, and thanks for your efforts this season ?

My dad was diagnosed with cancer about a month ago. Since then, he's lost a ton of weight and has essentially stopped eating. So much so, he's ended up in the hospital receiving fluids today, and has an operation scheduled for next week.
My mental health has never been the best but, for obvious reasons, it has taken an absolute battering over the last few weeks. I'm struggling to sleep most nights and often find myself getting distracted thinking about worst-case scenarios.
What's more, I've not really had the chance to talk about it with anyone. Or maybe I have and I just don't know how to approach or take that opportunity. I actually feel like family members are trying to skirt round the issue to protect me a little bit. Are they waiting for me to go to them? Do I even want to address it directly?
And, for the life of me, I haven't got a clue how to 'announce' it to my friends, most of whom I've known for a good 20 years. Do you just drop a bombshell in the WhatsApp group? Or wait until we all get together socially so that I can decimate the mood spectacularly? Not a clue.
Took me about 45 minutes to write all of this FFS. **** cancer, man.

I know we all hate the Telegraph website, but I just can't see this falling through based on the tone of this article:
https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/derby-county-kirchner-takeover-morris-7045078
"The Rams have been in administration since September and the American businessman's takeover of the club is nearing completion."
He's never going to be the one to break a big story, but I do believe that Nicholson knows the general vibe of what's going on. I've always said that he's very good at writing summary articles that collate other people's leaks, but won't do it himself even though he perhaps does know stuff.

Keith certainly wins a prize for the "username least likely to elicit a serious response". 

Not sure whether to read into the 'red' in your username and just assume that you're taking the ****.
But we're in a cost of living crisis - absolutely no shot that the majority of people will want to invest £1,000.

I like him a lot and, on the whole, I'm actually feeling positive. All the noises being made suggest that the stadium is now the only thing stopping this getting done, and that we're currently trying to force Mel's hand.
There may still be other parties hanging around, but I personally believe that CK will end up owning Derby County.

I’m so sorry to hear of the position you find yourself in. You will be all over the place I’m sure and it’s hard to think straight when something of this magnitude hits. 
But in order to be there for your dad and others, it’s important that you look after yourself. Included within that is lessening the burden you carry by telling someone else. Part of what you are experiencing is anticipatory grief. 
It can be helpful to tell a stranger first to ‘practice’ how to address it with those who are closer to you.
There are bereavement support groups like Cruse who will be experienced in listening to stories like yours.
I wish you all the best and hope you find the support you need.
Being strong does not mean hiding how you feel. Honesty will help.
