It’s all relative I suppose.

Within the last 9 minutes it's confirmed he's left the club! The fullness of time isn't always very long...

Promotion from L1 was marred by us not winning the Papa John’s while we were down there

Nigel Clough would have been a better scout than manager for us.
Mclaren, Lampard and Rowett had large resources at their disposal and each one failed.
Davies and Warne are the best managers we have had in the past twenty years.
LR is a better pundit than manager.
I'd rather watch winning football over pretty football.

The Silmarilion is a waste of time besides 2 short stories contained within it.
 
As much as I love Harry Potter, it is just star Wars with wands.
 
Pride Park is great stadium and the lack of atmosphere is mostly down to the fans expectations not being met and choosing when to get behind the team rather than design.
 
They should make the South Stand a more expensive part of the ground equivalent to the sides, then only those who really do want to create an atmosphere would sit there. 
 
We over celebrated as a club and fan base after beating Leeds in that second leg of the play offs.
 
The Wembley loss to QPR was as much the fault of Mac as it was the combination of Fozzy, Bucko and Keogh.
 

Mel Morris and Lionel Pickering had startlingly similar spells at Derby, one just got lucky on the pitch. One is lauded and one is hated.

the EFL’s main and manifest objective during the course of our administration was to ensure the club continued as a going concern 

I don't find sheep attractive in the slightest.

Ashley Ward was not dead fit (like my wife made out)

Hourihane, Waghorn, Gayle, Loach, Wildsmith, Smith leaving.
Barkhuizen, Forsyth, Thompson triggered 12 month extensions.
Collins and Sibley still discussing new deals.
Robinson signed a new 2 year deal.

Transfer window isn't open to be able to announce signings of contracted players, so you will have a bit of a wait

The more he lets go would surely suggest we maybe have a few more quid available than we all think, I’m not talking ridiculous money at all but if we let the likes of Collo go it’ll cost a bit to replace 

All our transfers (presuming we have them) will be "undisclosed" as that's the way of doing business at the bottom end nowadays. My guess is we'll spend £2-3m on actual transfer fees, unless we sell Cash in which case it will be £4-5m.
Growing up, it felt as if we broke the British transfer record every other year. What times they were.

Couldn't resist
 

Annie Haslam has a wonderful voice.

Feels like it should be locked. There is no link this summer to us.

I'm thoroughly depressed reading that lot.."21st...not flirting with relegation...12th -16th..etc..Me? I fully expect us to be challenging for a playoff position. Ipswich Town finished 2nd in League One...We finished 2nd in League One. Did the Tractor Boys really spend that much money to get to the Premier League? 

In any season where you're not starting in the top flight, promotion is the goal. That's the beauty of football - we all begin equal, and there are always surprises. That's why we have hope, even if it's the hope that kills you. I get that many don't like them, but the genius of the playoffs if that it maintains interest for so many teams all the way through to near the season finale. I'd hope we would still be in with a chance of making them with a very few games to go, even if we don't quite get over the line. I'd really hope we do get over the line.
Between 5th and 12th for me. 

If it’s in Daj’s hands he’s doing football wrong!!

Yes.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
PW has already said, it's in Daj's hands. he produces the goods pre season, he's in. If they think he's not quite ready, he'll go out on loan as part of his development.

After Collins' goals, his consistent fitness and then his superhuman return from injury to see us over the line, I'm surprised - but this hints at an impressively ruthless streak at the club. And suggests we're looking at major upgrades in the striking department.
Interesting times.

Dajaune says: " I'll enjoy myself in the off-season and go do some celebrating but then I'll work hard because in pre-season I am coming to impress." I like the sound of that.

Good if this is so. Its not a sentimental business is it. These people are paid a lot of money to do a job and being replaced comes with the territory
