The business is extremely lean. There are debts, but we are a good prospect for a potential owner nonetheless. 
How many clubs have this little deadwood while simultaneously having a few sellable assets in our young players? Plus the owner is desperate to sell and the club is getting a worse press every single day.
Someone who knows their football and their business knows that we are a very good prospect. A low level Championship club fighting off relegation, with low wage costs but high quality Premier League facilities?
We have the platform to climb the table again, if we can very quickly put this mess behind us

I almost think a complete reset would be good.
Start again from the bottom, with a fan owned membership in control, and we spend what we earn and not a penny more.
A club constitution that prevents any one party taking over, and if that means that our natural level is lower than now, so be it.
It would be our Derby, not the plaything of chancers and spivs. 
If we could grow organically and one day return to previous heights, great, but if not there's nothing wrong with lower league football, it's Derby I pay to watch, not the opposition.
I'm a dreamer though.

Of course, but I'm not particularly proud of the fan reaction currently. The way the fanbase have been tearing strips off each other lately.
I think I just miss being in the ground at this point. I used to be proud of Derby and its fans. And after a win proud of the players. It made my heart swell. There's really nothing like live football.
And throughout this saga I've just felt passive. I love the club, it's in my blood and always will be. But I've just felt like there's nothing I can cheer for. Nothing and nobody I can be proud of. At this point my loyalty is to a club crest.
Insane to think. But I know what you're saying. We'll be back from this. It's not the first crisis this club has had and it won't be the last.

I understand your sentiment but please don’t forget the fans. We ARE the football club. I remember Clough on ITV, speaking in front of fans protesting against Maxwell, saying that we would be here long after Maxwell was gone. He was right.
Maxwell, Morris, Keogh, Glenn Skivington...we have and will see them all off and will be left standing. We are Derby. We are here because we care and all the mud and poo being thrown at us from all sides can slide off as far as I am concerned because, as much as I dislike it at the moment, I am bonded to and love this football club. So Gibson, EFL, bitter Leeds fans and the twitterati can all sod off. 

I don't think there's a single thing about this football club I like at the moment. The players, the coaches, the management, the current ownership, the potential future ownership... all of it is a bitter disappointment.

The U 23s are alright.  Go on watch the highlights of them beating manure to cheer you up, it will honestly

I've been critical of the way we've conducted business and where that has left our finances but on this particular charge I still maintain that I don't think we've done a hell of a lot wrong morally.
