Admin have been on talk sport said there had been six credible offers and last night a seventh from America with over $1 billion dollars in it's funding also lots of clowns on e mail making offers.
Also said they will ask for proof of £5 million in a Uk bank account non refundable before allowing anyone to proceed to negotiate and they hope to get a deal over the line in the next 90 days.
Also four local business had offered to loan funds to keep the club ticking over.

Are you on such an anti-Morris roll that your blinkers stop you seeing the bigger picture?
I'm not blaming the EFL - I'm stating that by not giving us the additional 'monet to save clubs from Covid' funding (while giving it to all of the other Championship clubs), we've been made into an exceptional case - and that provides a solid argument against the 12-point deduction for going into admin.
A lot of people on here have been saying we can't claim exceptional reasons to avoid the 12 point deduction as other clubs have been able to survive - but by denying us the funding (and there's a very good case to say they were right to do that due to the P&S issues we were having) and then also giving us a points deduction when that decision tipped us over the edge into administration, they've effectively penalised us twice (and that's ignoring the embargo shenanigans preventing us from extending contracts and therefore losing players on the cheap).
Whoever ultimately is to blame (and neither Mel or the EFL are blameless) the funding decision was a contrbutory factor in pushing us over the edge - that should at least lessen the points punishment if not negate it completely....

Under the circumstances which applied at the time, Nigel Clough was perfect.
Under the current circumstances which apply, Wayne Rooney is perfecter.

FTFY ?

If only life was this simple.  

great, might pop down to get tickets and take a box of chocolates for the poor buggers working there. scary time for them i imagine 

I thought Cutch made a good point in the latest @Steve Bloomer's Washing pod about the HMRC issue. The fact that we have a massive outstanding tax bill isn't just financially problematic; it's also morally indefensible. Plenty of people moan about big corporations not paying their fair share of taxes, but a business the size of ours should fall into that category too.
I suppose we've got to negotiate with HMRC to save the club now, but the fact we're even being forced into that position is terrible.
I'm just glad there's so much positivity amongst the fanbase at the minute.

This threads over ten pages long, but we’ve had to hide most as they’re telling me to go forth and multiply.
51! 
Only seems like yesterday when I was 50.

Now you've gone and done it! He'll start to think that he's important or summat.
Still, feliz cumpleaños @Boycie.

Puedes decirme cómo lidiar con las pelotas por encima?
Puedes darme indicaciones para llegar al campo de entrenamiento del equipo 'c'

Don't worry about it David, we all have pre-wedding nerves/doubts.

One for Mel: "I spent £200m and all I got was this lousy t-shirt (and a football ground)"

This is the most important thing we can do. Create some income to limit redundancies and player sales, make us attractive to purchasers and support the team.
If you haven't got a season ticket, buy a match ticket. 
If you have a got a season ticket , encourage a mate to come or if you can afford it, gift a ticket to a mate. 
Encourage friends and family to come. 
If you can afford it and know someone who can't afford to go, gift them a ticket for this game.
If you live too far away and can afford it, gift a mate or family member from home,
If you are thinking of coming and have kids, bring them along.
Do whatever we can to fill the ground v Reading.
We've been let down but now it's our time, our time to stand up and save our club.

I would settle for league 2, rather than just read about Derby County in the history books.

My personal view for what it's worth is he sounded deflated towards the end of the interview. A beaten man.
Despite a lack of raw emotion shown on air, I genuinely think Friday would have hurt him massively as this wouldn't have been anywhere in his plans.
I understand this will not be any comfort to any of the staff that will lose their jobs, or creditors unpaid who my thoughts are with right now as they face an extremely tough week ahead.
Tomorrow I will be opening a jobs board on the forum, if any of you have a business or hear of vacancies in the local area please post them.
Also if you know anyone that has/will be lose their job through this process, give them a heads up.
Saturday showed what an incredible fan base we have when we come together, let's help try and make the impact as minimal as possible. ?

Carl Sagan and 1 other? 

RamsTV has been one of the brightest sparks that our club has had, particularly over the last 18 months or so.  And, @Owen87ITK, you have been one of the brightest sparks within it and of it.
It would be extremely peculiar if you weren't worried about your own immediate future given the events of the last 36 hours, never mind the futures of people that you work with every day of the week, many of whom, no doubt, you see as a friend as well as a work colleague. There's little, I guess, that we can do other than to say that we are all rooting for you and hope that out of it all will come an even stronger and more vibrant RamsTV with yourself to the fore. Yesterday we were supporting the whole club not just the players
I've been through something similar once in my career.  My experience was that it's hard not to be up and down - thinking positive and then for something to trigger negative thoughts about the future.  It can be very draining.  My only advice would be to keep as positive as you can for as much of the time as you can.  Tuck the darker thoughts into a box and close the lid.  Easier said than done I know but try to deal with what you can control and be a consistently positive force for the future.  Darker days are necessary to enjoy the good times even more!!

It absolutely wasn’t/isn’t my place. But I thought it was important that *someone* said it. 
I just feel very sad. 

@Owen87ITK, as you said yesterday it probably wasn't your place, and certainly not your responsibility, but thanks for saying "sorry". Unfortunately for us fans you and Wayne Rooney are the only official faces of Derby County Football Club that we get to see and hear from. It must have been a difficult beginning to the programme having to be the first to face up.
