Apparently, there's only one team in Bristol, but I have to ask : would anyone outside of Bristol notice if there were no teams in Bristol? Even Wigan, whose football team is truly an after-thought in a Rugby League mad town, have managed to win a major trophy. Arguably, to win their 'biggest' trophy so far, they had to pretend to be Welsh! I mean, how low are they prepared to go....?
 
 
 

Blimey I never want to be captain!!

Dawkins is one of Derby’s most underrated players in the 25 years or so I’ve watched the rams. His control of the ball was unreal. He never got enough credit in that team. And was such a shame the way it ended for him at the club. 

Without the 21 points deduction, we would be in 17th position, which isn't too bad for team full of grandads and babies, and who haven't been able to operate in the transfer market for 2 years +, apart from having key players ripped out of our squad.
Perversely, if Forest had 21 points deducted, they would be in 20th place!!!

Just seen CK in the pub with the council.

I do hope you meant this with tongue in cheek……or you are in for a shock!

In a short period of time Kirchner has told us Rooney will be here next season. He has also confirmed that circa 40 players are needed and that initial investment is needed.
And now we are hearing the EFL are happy with his proposals and we could be starting next season without a points deduction.
Sounding good.
 
 

I’m at the end of my tether with all this 
I want to give them a chance to takeover.
I don’t see any other options out there.
Quantuma think it’s the best option as they said so in their statement.
Many fans were wrong about Rooney and I remember having to defend him along with RoyMac5 
Posters get it wrong sometimes 

Yes exactly and he probably just really liked everything about the first car and finding the price had been lowered a little or the previous owner was out of the picture so he could buy the dream car was straight back in there.  

I dont mean you at all with these questions FBM but I am not blindly in favour of him, after Mel probably will never trust an owner again really, but why are some of our fans trying so hard to undermine him and get him to withdraw as PB? At least give him a chance. Remember the opinion of Wayne as manager initially? Remember the opinion of Mel as owner initially? How right we were!! Or are some so hellbent on another buyer who could have become PB at any point between December and now if they had actually wanted to, that they will not accept the only one who seems to want to actively take us on? It may be a disaster but it might not

There are loads of nasty comments from PNE fans under his tweets so perhaps he just had enough and blocked them all. His twitter his choice. Why does everything have to be a big conspiracy? 

Interesting that PNE have put out a statement and it seems a PNE fan has asked him about it.  Maybe they should read the Q&A……
When asked about why he pulled out of purchasing Preston North End he said
“Let’s do a hypothetical here… Ever buy a car? If someone raises the price halfway through the deal by 10% over what you agreed then wants to force you to buy options and packages you don’t want/need with the car, would you buy it?”
“We started comparing every other club to Derby in terms of infrastructure. The other clubs we looked at needed significant improvements to produce players through the academy at the level we want long term.”
He never said the price went up by 10%, he gave a hypothetical example.  He talks about the infrastructure, etc and I think some posters talked about buying land for the PNE academy.  Rather than the actual purchase price, maybe it’s things like this that were added in/discovered during due diligence that increased his investment.  Maybe not at the time of initial purchase but in the months/years following.  That probably made us more attractive as in our case it already in place, just needs to be maintained.  To use his car analogy, for us, he doesn’t need to buy the car, just keep it serviced.

Lol, thank you so much

I say give the poor guy a chance. At present he is the only one who wants to buy and save our club, so if he has the finance and the know how to get us back to the Prem, or even back to the Championship as its looking, I for one will be giving him my full support all the way. COYCKR

Time to change the lyrics, and make it more topical and relevant to our situation.
I won't try and circumvent the swear filter, but I'm sure you'll get the drift if you see this topic before it disappears!
 
Mel Morris is a banker,
He wears a bankers hat, 
He said he loved our Derby,
But he's a ducking twit.
 
He said that he would sell us, 
And wanted just a pound, 
But he's a lying bar steward, 
And took away our ground.

Nowt like Derby fans to wait 2 years for someone to save the club and decide they don’t want him cause they feel hurt that he ‘snubbed us’ but came back in.
 

CK is the only bid to be accepted, he his a sporting man for his company sponsors top golf tournaments, and i can see Rooney and CK having a good working relationship in the interest of your club Derby County give him a chance be happy, for again he his the only one who as come up with the cash.
Rooney has implied that he will be staying with the club under CK ownership, so let look forward to the next chapter in Derby county's history, not having ago at you Roy, what do you think CK will think of the negativity on this forum against him when reading these pages when his investment is trying to save the club. COYR

I’m not the one questioning the situation I’ll leave that to all the others as they seem to know best .
I haven’t 100 percent confidence in anything DCFC at the moment how could I but it’s about practicalities in our situation and CK is the preferred bidder and whilst ever he is trying to buy us I’ll back him as there is no other suitors who showed they wanted the club enough re Appleby or Ashley.

Let's wait and see. He's done a multi-year deal with the Dallas Stars. He's just done a 5 year $multi-million deal for the Dubai Desert Classic.  One of his company values is demonstrating "Grit and persistence" where "solving tough problems requires a lot of hard work. We aren’t afraid of difficult problems and we won’t stop until they are solved".  I'm pretty sure he knows what he's getting into here and will need all of that over the next month or two. 
 

WHICH SHOWS HE WANTS TO SAVE DERBY COUNTY,  he is the only one who wants to buy us!
