Sorry if this has been mentioned but just to add, imagine how the non-playing staff must feel tonight.  Those in the ticket office, club shop, admin staff, etc.  They know they’re future is secure.  Hope you’re still bringing us RamsTV next season @Owen87ITK .

Took a bit of time out to gather myself, have a bath, listen back to Radio Derby and get a glass of my special occasion drink (White Peak Distillery cask rum, summit local). I hope everyone is having whatever it is they want to drink.
Can’t really add anything that hasn’t already been said. All my thanks for everyone’s efforts last season. From Rooney and Rosenior, the players and staff who kept the club going in the darkest days. You can all hold your head high for what you did.
The fans who did everything they could, from filling the stadium to organising marches etc etc. Also the supporters groups who tried to get answers.
The journalists who kept us informed as much as they could, this was a mess from start to finish and was impossible to report accurately on. Many lessons will be learnt but we should appreciate all their efforts from Nixon, Percy, @The Baron,Simon Stone and everyone else I’m forgetting about. Colin Murray, Dan Roan and the national journalists who gave #savederbycounty national coverage. 
Special mention to Ed Dawes and Radio Derby, who has lived this far longer than any of us realise because Morris was in his ear with his mess 2-3 years ago. He didn’t get it right all the time, I’m sure he can admit that, but he stood up when it mattered and deserves a pat on the back from Derby fans. Also let’s not forget Chris Coles who after so much crap Derby related news deserves his little moment tonight too!
Team Derby! Forkin, the council and the MPs who helped keep this in the spotlight and did a lot of background work. They have helped create a huge positive day for the city.
Thanks to @David, @Boycieand all the moderators on the forum for all their work and giving us the platform. Special mention to @Animal is a Ram for giving us ‘up to the second’ updates (and all those who sought to beat him, yes you @RoyMac5). Thanks everyone for the laughs in here, at some of the most frustrating times they were some genuinely funny days in here that made everything a bit easier. 
Finally, thankyou Mr Clowes. I hope despite inital reluctance this ends up being the best decision you ever make. I hope as fans we respect your privacy, but only after hearing your name being rang out by a sell out crowd on July 30th. 
I’ve probably forgotten someone, despite going on worst than one of those popmaster contestants who won’t shut up and go away, but I’m tired and wanna finish my drink and read transfer rumours like a normal football fan, so apologies to anyone who is forgetten.
Have a great night everyone, it’s much deserved 

Same here, cant wait for them to be announced on sale - 

I would be looking at Niasse on a free or maybe see if our 'friends' down the road will loan us Lyle Taylor, I think we almost loaned him in Jan

One thing this period has taught us, us fans can influence matches at Pride Park. We have given the team proper undying support on the pitch, in 52 years I can't remember such an atmosphere of blind faith and no criticism. Let us all try to keep that going, even when matches are going against us.
The players were lifted by this support, they weren't nervous about making a misplaced pass and that gave them the confidence to perform above their supposed ability.
You didn't hear booing and murmers of discontent at PP last season, even the likes of Man City and Liverpool fans voiced their discontent on televised games at times last season.
So let us create our own brand of superfan and let it become known that Derby fans will back their team through thick and thin.

Am I crazy or may this be our new kit?

I wouldn't be opposed to Johnno in lg 1. Would beef up the midfield next to more cultured bird (doubt we'll keep him) or mobile Thommo. Decent in the air, defensively would help. The odd goal too.
As for Huddz. No. Beautiful passer, lumbering passenger.

Where the ram is our symbol
The city its beating heart
We've lived through hard times, persevered
Our people possess the spark

The heritage they forged; their legacy still remains

Where on Shaftesbury Cres, the kids now play
Where houses stand and turf once lay
On the ashes of our Baseball Ground
They laugh and have a kick around
As Stevie Bloomer watches down
The city's pride emanates the ground

On that Monday morning
After that Wanchope weekend
Driving all those Man United fans
Completely 'round the bend

We're resilience in the flesh
We've never settled
For second best
Just walk these streets
You’ll feel the pride
It’s in our DNA

Where the future's bright:
Bright black & White
Whoever the opponent
We’ll take the fight

We'll sing the songs; we'll sing them loud
Whatever gets thrown at us!

The ambition's here, the time is now
Our loyal supporters will see us proud
With our new blood we can make the push
And forge new history to elevate this club
Back to the top where we belong
The ambition here is bubbling strong

We Are Derby: Derby County

The most complicated football administration in history, other insolvency practitioners said it was near impossible and they wouldn't touch it with a bargepole. 
Yet here we are, clean out the other side in less time than its taken other, less complicated administrations to be resolved, with no lingering issues such as stadium ownership, paying off our dues over 3 years etc etc, and good, if not entirely comfortable time to plan for the season ahead.
No need to worry about paying a landlord rent on our home ground, no sword of Damacles hanging over our head in regards to further points deductions, a clean and clear exit from administration, which has looked unlikely from the off. 
Maybe Quantuma knew what they were doing all along, after all we've exited administration in the best possible shape we could have hoped for? 
Great job, guys.

First Festy, then Ebiowei, now Mendez-Laing. I'm beginning to see a pattern...
You aren't a fan of wingers and want to play just CMs instead? ?

Have we turned from beggars to choosers again now?
Id like to think anyone mentioned so soon after the takeover has been lined up for a while and that Rosenior has done his homework on them (perhaps alongside Rooney) before signing them.
Maybe they’ve been in on trial this week and they’ve impressed too.

Martin & Morrison both arrived with a bad attitude apparently though

Id have taken all 4 of the players linked in the Championship let alone League 1

Just throwing one out there, how many would take Waghorn back? Works hard, can play across the front, didn’t play much last season for cov.

The Percy linked us with are first class players at league 1 level 

Get those season tickets sold. Fill the ground with noise - music, singing, chanting, flags and banners.
Let Pride Park rock and roll.
