We'll be back in 81

Wouldn't imagine we owe money for anyone. Once the club was purchased by clowes the fee would have included paying off football debts which includes transfers. So we don't owe anyone anything.

I took advice from the guy who does the leather and shoe repairs on the BBC program the work shop, I had to restore the soles and asked the best way to retain their authenticity but to also ensure they would be around in 100 years, I also invested in the UV protective display, Alan is really pleased with what I have done, many of the items that I have within the collection have a high individual value but I would never sell any of it, I have paid thousands of pounds to put it together over a very long time and got to know many of the ex players along the way over the years and have earned their respect so it’s nice when they see the bigger picture of what I am trying to do in preserving the history of the club, John Gregory recently let me take ownership of his collection of Derby shirts, it is my intention to sit down with David Clowes and to take things forward in such a way that we can all benefit and share in the history of the club, had you seen the project has been completed on the Racecourse years shirts ? The collection of five ?

Alan Hinton has always been interested in and appreciative of the work I put in to preserve the history and rich heritage of the club going back a long time so it was a great surprise to hear from him that he wanted to send over his iconic match worn, signed white Hummel boots from the early 1970s.
He was one of the first to go against the grain and you had to have confidence in your ability to stand out to that extent, he did of course have ability in abundance and could ping in a cross from any angle with either foot, he was also top scorer in the Championship Winning season in 1971-72.
A real piece of our history.

'Enjoyed' all your posting about the financial stuff for the last 18months..and previously your academy insights. Its  really good to see your other posting is every bit as informed. Best poster on here, talk lots of (non knee-jerk) sense.

Reel em in B4. Good one.

The Rams looking bloody beautiful in the black socks today in case anyone has missed it.

I'd love a Rams shirt with Rolls-Royce on the front!

Yes yes yes yes yes
We have won the freaking war

Sorry I saw my first match in 1959 but I am in tears now together with my 40 year old daughters. ?

Angie afraid i wish for some of these toxic clubs to suffer, the press also have been toxic over this period of time.
Will Mel send the EFL a writ when this is all over and he has nothing to do with the club, certainly hope so, will be good to see Parry and fit for purpose Ridsdale along with the rest squirm and have to answer the questions which we all have been asking, this cannot be swept under the carpet.

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. 

I dont think it will make any difference. The cost of living crisis will have a big impact but I hope Rooney going wont. Many fans will want to help the club back on its feet if they are able to I think. I'm hoping to buy us a couple even though I know we cant get to too many games - as there's no crowd funding that will at least get money directly into the club and hopefully it will encourage us to trek over more often
