Old Spalding Ram

I telephoned EFL office. spoke to a nice lady at reception. She told me what she said was "the line" she had been told to give to angry Derby fans. She said I was politer than many of the other calls she had had, poor lady. Anyway I left my number for Mr Parry to ring me back. Looks like I might have to wait til Monday now.  

Derby players told to approach administrators if they want to leave, as hopes fade of prompt takeover & cash needed to survive season.
 
Agents more like………………..Rooney must be steaming, he’s now totally out of the loop regards the squad, his next media interview hopefully will show us which way this great club is heading!

Terrible news, brought to you by Ron Brooks Toyota.

Rooney will quit next and i for one wouldnt blame him

Wouldn't surprise me if he walked at this point. If we come out of this transfer window having lost a load of key players then what motivation does he have to stay? Survival will be impossible. He's already enhanced his reputation. He can sit by the phone and wait for a fresh opportunity, I'd imagine he wouldn't have to wait for too long.

I can.
I was gutted when Tim Ward was sacked, replaced by this inexperienced upstart from Hartlepools United.

Because of the re-scheduled Huddersfield game, 5 out of the next 7 games are at home.
Sheff Utd
Birmingham
Hull
Peterborough 
Millwall
Away games are Forest and Boro.
Anybody else looking at these fixtures and thinking we have a great chance of closing the gap and that we couldn't really be wishing for a better run of fixtures. 
 

And actually, the way you have written your post is better than what I have done, because YES, Rooney will look a burk, but only because he had been made to look one.
I'm hoping he is on interview duty and tells it like it is.

If it’s the preferred bidder who has promised Rooney assurances to sign a player, he’ll be named on Saturday and Rooney turns up to the match………..and nothing happens “Wayne is going to look a right burk”.
If it’s the administrators who have promised Rooney can sign a player, name the preferred bidder and given Saturday as a deadline ……….and nothing happens “Wayne is going to look a right burk”
if you believe that Rooney has been given these assurances and nothing happens this weekend then I’m afraid that “Wayne is definitely going to look a right burk” and could decide he’s had enough………………and I wouldn’t blame him one bit!

Well today is almost over, which leaves Thursday and Friday for the preffered bidder to be announced or Wayne is going to look a right burk.
I was as confident as ever after he so confidently said he will be there at Saturdays game knowing who the bidder is and hopefully having signed a player.
I am betting that if there is no movement by tomorrow lunch time Rosenior will be on pre and post match interviews and nothing will be mentioned about the takeover. Just lots of Liam saying how much he loves Wayne.

On Ashley... I think we could do a lot worse.
He's British, a Billionaire, has experience as a football club owner, has a good track record buying companies out of administration.
It means no mysterious behind the scenes money men, no owners from countries with dubious human rights records, no debt or leveraged buyout.
It's a yes from me.

We don't own our ground, have debts totalling £60m, owe HMRC £26m, haven't seen the PL since 2008 and have a squad made up of pensioners and children. Along the way we sacked our captain for his involvement in a drink driving debarcle, we had very public spats with the EFL, we are being sued by fellow EFL members, and this year marks 14 since we were the worst team in PL history.
We know what bad ownership looks like.
NUFC fans don't know they're born.
 
…………….seems fair comment to me!?

I think the differance is that ashley will not splash the cash and i think we all understand that. If he gets us on an even keel then gets bored and wants to sell at least we will be a viable cub that someone wants to buy and not one in administration. At the end of the day i just want Derby to survive.
