    Time to take a few yellow cards and dig themselves in.  Look like the kind of team to react and get a red.

    Think it might be a tactic straight out of Sir Alex’s book of dark arts. He will take a punishment but puts a bit of pressure on the refs for future close decisions, makes the fans put more pressure on and hopefully gets to have a meeting with the refereeing body.
    Not everyone’s cup of tea I’m sure, but especially in our current predicament then I’m all for it to be honest.

    Orphanram reacted to Bladderwrack in Derby County Administration (with the slight possibility of Liquidation still there)   
    There is a possibility Derby could be liquidated, it will not happen though. Derby may be in a hole but they have bags of potential, they have a  massive fan base and clubs with this will always find a way to dig themselves out. They just need the right men in charge to do it.
    There is however one constant truism that always accompanies situations like this. The doomsayers are always out in force. To quote the famous poem by Albert Edgar Guest
    There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
         There are thousands to prophesy failure,
    There are thousands to point out to you one by one,
          The dangers that wait to assail you.
    Some people take joy in prophesying and forecasting the worst case scenario.  It may be they are expressing their own paranoia as a therapeutic measure or they may be the type who get a thrill from spreading doom and gloom. Whatever it is, it is a time for people who love their club to grow thick skins and learn to ignore such negativity until it comes from people who genuinely have their finger on the pulse and are speaking facts not fears.

    They would need to have provided proof of £5 million in a UK bank account to begin with and provide proof of funds going forward, before being granted access to the data room to begin due diligence. 
    Probably a Twitter not ITK expert.

    I will probably get absolutely shot down for this but the the club, fans and players have been all though so much I think it’s time to let bygones be bygones.  For a large number of reasons the club hasn’t covered it’s self in glory and we would all cry foul if the wider football world were to condemn us to eternity for our misdemeanours. It’s a personal choice and the world isn’t a very forgiving place these days but I’m glad that Keogh accepts time is a healer and still has a place for Derby in his heart.

    Fair enough, I did say it was a personal choice and I don’t condone what he did but it’s  clear we sacked him and not the others for reasons that are all too obvious now. Most people would probably sue for unfair dismissal in such circumstances. Personally for myself enough time has passed and I can think positively of what he contributed to the club. I 100% accept that some people won’t give him any quarter.

    According to Metro Bielik is a ‘Transfer Flop’.

    I’ve not quite caught on the buzz of anticipation that some have about Ebosele. His pace and power are obvious attributes but he doesn’t look much of a footballer to me.

    'Flop' does suggest that he's been rubbish, which is far from the truth but his stint with us does have all the signs of a George Thorne situation. We'll all hang on to every little bit of hope, every sign of progress and then release him for nothing. In those terms 'flop' seem about right.
