DC is the man who has stepped up to save Derby County, providing a short term loan to the club and taking the ground from MM's hands. Let's forget about MA now, he had his chance...
 

The more time goes on the more it appears we dodged a bullet. Feel far more at ease with Clowes on board than any of the other options.
Yes, they are Rams fans but something feels different. Mel got lucky with CC. These guys have been around business for decades. Just feels a safe pair of hands. That is the onevthing we need above all else. No more circus 

We have to offer Rosenior first refusal, he might not be the right long term option, however given the timing of all this we are left with little choice.
There will be a list of targets which he will have been involved with the discussion, likewise renewals with those that are expiring, a plan going forward and we have to stick to that as much as we can.
We don’t have the time to create a new owner vision for the future and conduct a thorough interview process.
Bring players in, give us a squad to compete and use this season to get appointments behind the scenes right and review the first team management next summer.
Oh and please, please please no Nigel Clough, it’s been a rough year as it is, a return of Nigel would destroy the remaining bits of my soul right now. Thankfully he hasn’t spoken that fondly of his time at Derby, I hope that grudge he has is as strong as ever. 

Our revenue this season will be triple the average for a League 1 side.

Which would still give us a hefty budget in league one

Fozz 100%. Gives his all and perfect for this division. Tbf I've never been sold on Buchanan.

I think he did well last season and it’s looking that Buchanan wants away so do we have anyone else who can play left back and can head a ball because we are in the third division not the premiership 

Finally caught up... and the last couple of pages were somewhat of a bummer!
Not the best ending to a catch up, but any current negatives are outweighed a million-fold by today's major positives.
Our club is not dead.  Long live our club.

What a super manager and human being Wayne Rooney has been at Derby County. I believe he was just waiting for us to get a new owner and then move on to better things.
Thanks for your loyalty and leadership through torrid times Wayne!

Kirchner was the main one who caused the delay and Rooneys agent Stretford was part of his bid wasn’t he? 

Can't begrudge him at all,he gave us a fighting chance and leaves with his head held high. Hope he goes onto bigger and better things. Thanks for the memories Wayne
I mean, England's highest ever goalscorer played and managed derby county ???

Read his firm just paid £110mill for a technology park in Birmingham. I know his wealth is separate to his firms, but he’s involved with serious money nevertheless. 

This news really is very welcome 

Surely he is. 

Well Q are waiting for some fool to come along (CK) and pay what they say they want whilst the three potential bidders who have run and owned football clubs won’t pay that much with good reason so I think Q are delusional whilst stopping us having new owners one way or the other. I am sure if MM hadn’t put us into administration we probably would have been sold by now and would still be in the championship. Being in administration has totally and utterly hamstrung us within a bunch of EFL rules and administrators who seem unable to sell the club or even have sensible, clear and open dialogue with the supporters, the EFL and potential buyers apparently. 
I am very concerned, 9 months in administration and we should have been sold by last January. The supporters, the team and management team didn’t fail when needed but I’d say the administrators and EFL have failed when needed to do what was expected.

How many times have we told you Billy, stop talking about yourself in the third person.

At least with Appleby we know what we will be getting. Yesterdays gravy on stale bread.........

After a complete shower of a season, and things just seem to be getting worse week-by-week, but all this will make our rise back to the top taste even sweeter. Hang in there Rams fans! 

Q need to decide which of the bids is best for the creditors and get one of these deals over the line as quickly as possible, we cannot keep relying on outside  people paying the wages. Morgan, Ashley or Appleby I have no real preference but do think we need to expedite and conclude this rolling and open ended mess, the management, players, staff and the supporters need urgent reassurance that we are going to be able the start and complete our fixtures next season.
Fingers need to be pulled out 

Being lucky would have been just that, lucky.  A get out of jail free card. 
I think we can probably all agree the actual biggest mistake is signing the wrong players for too high prices (we've been through the list a million times on here already, so no need to do it again).  But I think the more subtle and interesting mistake is that we held on to players for too long.  We should never have convinced Bryson to stay when Burnley wanted him, for example.  The same with Keogh, Martin, and probably a lot more.  We ended up renewing their contracts and paying near-premier league salaries while we were in the championship.  And then most of them left for free.  If you look at Brentford, they do the opposite - they've moved on Watkins, Benrahma, Maupay and so on, and then use that money to go and get the next guy, while covering any overspend at the same time.

3 failed takeovers, a 2 year embargo, forced to release players, forced to sell players, cap on number of free agents allowed to sign, a League 1 level wage cap for those free agents when in the Championship, a 21 point deduction, a multi year legal battle with the EFL, a legal battle with an ex player, a legal battle with an ex employee, essentially blackmailed into acknowledging Boro's and Wycombe's claims and finally top it all off by getting relegated .... but you know what? I agree with those vocal Forest, Boro, Brum fans on social media and that weird Bristol City fan who's been stalking Derby for what must be half a decade by now .... I don't think we've really been punished enough yet. 

We really need to get real ,,,, stop the club being liquidated is all that matters ,, anything else beyond that is a bonus

One thing I don’t get is all the NDA/commercially sensitive nonsense. The state of the club is well documented, the debts are public knowledge, the names being thrown around as interested parties have done little to distance themselves. What secrets are left?! 

He was never a timewaster, it just sounds like his money was just under too much smoke and mirrors. It's possible he has made money on investments that the UK frowns upon or bans, or something along those lines. It could be that he's the front for another investor/s who is involved in nefarious means? Lots of possibilities
This is an error of the EFLs Owners and Directors Test, and Quantuma
I don't think it's right to say he was a tire-kicker. He obviously has the money, there's no way he'd have got this far otherwise. What would he have gained out of this otherwise? You'd have to be incredibly bored and have more money than sense to waste all this time and money on getting the deal sorted only to muck about at the end. It doesn't add up

In summary, EFL are total duck jobs and will do everything they can to try and liquidate us. I haven't read it by the way.
