But he doesn't really. If the worst was to happen and DCFC get liquidated, what use is it owning a stadium with no team to play in it.

1) The council likely couldn't announce/ confirm plans relating to the stadium purchase at the moment due to the local elections.
2) Kirchner has retweeted the EFL statement, and liked BBC Sport Derby's tweet regarding it. Not sure he'd do that if he wasn't still expecting things to progress/ seeing the statement as a 'positive'.

Kirchners plane is no longer at EMA. 

It’s en route to Preston, the pilots dropping off a load of horseshit over the EFL HQ.

Can confirm Kirchners plane is on the central apron at EMA.

Honestly the conduct of Rooney. 
 
At times it felt like he was the only one on “our” side.  
 

Coming around the corner at The Cockpitt, or whatever that junction is called nowadays, and looking up over the flyover...
 

Brought a tear to my eye.
No photo will ever give justice to that mental image I have etched on the top shelf of my memory bank.

Was just thinking about this. What a season.
Bielik’s goal was special - the emotion of the day, the tosspots in the away end, the lateness of the goal. What a celebration that was.
Lawrence’s goals against Sheff Utd on another difficult day - sheer class.
The atmosphere at the Fulham game. Defiance, belief.
Sibley’s late winner against P’Boro.
Fozzy wiping the ball on the towel was class.
I have enjoyed this season more than any in a very long time. The fans, players and management have been superb. A proper bond that will be difficult to maintain or replicate but hopefully we will. I love this football club.

It has to be the march.
So many people, even those that work in football - be it pundits, players, directors, whatever - *think* they know what a football team means to it's community. Its only when you experience something like that day that you really feel it. 
Young, old, men, women, black, white, and anything in between, all coming together because of perhaps the only thing that they share in common. There was no trouble, in spite of the strength of feeling. 
It was a credit to Derby County Football Club, and long may it continue. 

Bieliks goal v brum.

Do HMRC accept crypto currencies?

11 days to go until they bounce and we get liquidated

Here they are. I wasn't going to post, but there are photos all over Twitter.
L to R: McGovern, Powell, Davies, Todd, Gemmill, O'Hare, Macfarland, Dawes, Gibson.

If you can get hold of and watch this documentary series, it will explain everything.

You’re going to be gutted this morning, and rightly so.
But it ain’t all bad.
When we dropped out of the old 2nd division into the 3rd in 1984 things were in many ways, worse.
We didn’t (quite) have the financial issues, but we had a horrible team and the entire season was utterly depressing and devoid of hope in a way this season hasn’t been.
My personal highlight of an utterly depressing season was meeting Dave Watson in a Little Chef on the A1 after we spanked Cambridge away 3-0 in the FA Cup. That was pretty much it for ducks sake.
AND we had not just relegation, but the ignominy of losing to Plymouth in the FA Cup quarter-final to contend with after we had dragged them back to the BBG.
We all thought that we’d bounce right back when we did get relegated and the arrival of Arthur Cox just emboldened that belief.
An opening day away loss to Bournemouth, when Bournemouth then were more like the equivalent of Exeter now, didn’t dissuade us.
Of course, we didn’t bounce back and ended up outside the top 6.
But we had some BRILLIANT away days that season, Hull, Lincoln, and the last game of the season at Newport spring to mind.
It was a whole lot more fun than the previous season because we were, for the most part, competing and you could see what Arthur was trying to do.
There’s something fun about going to smaller clubs and taking the place over. Those of you who travel to away games know that the camaraderie is special.
In fact, the adversity that we have faced this season has developed that camaraderie, only it’s done it at home.
I work online and use social media a lot and the admiration for Derby’s support, especially those of you who travel away is a delight to read. I’ve even read genuine Forest and Leeds fans say they’re impressed.
And what’s not to be impressed about?
Forget the trolls who are loving this, the REAL football supporters appreciate and understand what Rooney has dragged the club through and the guy is universally respected, exponentially more so than when he was merely an excellent player.
He’s now an excellent ex-player and an excellent human being. Time will tell if he can become an excellent manager, but the signs are promising.
The second year under Arthur we did come up and that season was even better for road trips..
I’ve seen Derby beat Benfica, Real Madrid, every top English club multiple times and Forest many times. But if I were to list the best 5 games I’ve ever attended, Derby at home to Rotherham in the old 3rd Division on a Friday night would be up there.
That game with that penalty that took us back up to what would now be the Championship was a raucous, intense and then delirious atmosphere ending in an effing celebration comparable with any I have witnessed - although to be fair, my memory is a tad blurry because we did hit the pub hard.
I doubt there was a Liverpool fan that got anything like the joy from beating Man City in the cup semi or will get more if they win the thing, than we Derby fans got from squeaking past Rotherham that night.
The fact is, winning is just fun, no matter what division you are in. And beating adversity is fun too. So much more satisfying and enjoyable than just delivering on what’s expected.
Somebody posted that they hope we're not that team that thinks they will bounce back up.
I don't really care if fans think that. It's totally irrelevant.
What is relevant is what WR thinks and what he allows his staff and players to think.
And I have no doubt whatsoever that he'll not allow that entitled type of mindset to creep in.
The good news is we have renewed hope for a stable club, a very promising manager in place, an Academy that is flourishing even if it is being pillaged and some wins to look forward to.
We are where we are, so we may as well embrace it and have fun. And you will have some fun, I promise.

Big love! #COYR

Might be a daft question but will we get a parachute payment by going down to league 1.

Steve Nicholson taking the piss! 
 

1 point, that's optimistic.

It’s times like this where I am so glad I am old enough not to do Twitter and have all the worries and concerns most of you all seem to have in your lives
