Today marks our first re-birthday, this time last year was one of those days we will remember what we were doing at the moment we found out that our club was saved. Personally, I was sitting in a friend's house in Scotland with beautiful views of Ben Nevis, I was constantly, probably rudely, refreshing my phone for news. When it broke, tears welled up in my eyes and I struggled to inform those around me of the what had happened. It was a highly emotional moment, which as a 63 year old bloke, I felt slightly embarrassed about. It brought home what this club meant to me and what clubs mean to football fans the world over.
Let's hope that this situation never arises again at Derby, unlike the situation at Wigan, where such a short time after they too went so close to oblivion, seems to be in dire straights once more.
It's great and probably sad, that we're back to the normal situation of moaning about transfers and playing styles, in such a short time.

Hopefully, tomorrow will see a signing which has been on hold until this one has gone through.

Sometimes you can become too reliant on one person, to the detriment of the team. Didzy didn't do so well against the better teams, was that because they knew that had to concentrate on only one player, whereas if our threat comes from multiple sources, even the better organised teams would struggle to compete against that.

Not true, as Knight is one of our academy products, as long as we offer him a new improved contract next year, we will be entitled to compensation decided by an independent body, if we can't agree a price with his new club.
Many factors contribute to this compensation figure including international caps, appearances for Derby and at what level, details of the new contract offered, etc. This applies to players under the age of 24. Once it goes to the independent panel, their decision is final and neither the buying nor the selling club can pull out of the deal.

According to various sources, the fee is £1.5m. This for a player 3 years older than Knight and no senior Irish caps compared with Knight's 20 caps. As a result of his age, he would have been free to leave for nothing next year, where Knight's fee would be set by tribunal.
These facts point to Knight commanding a fee greater than the £1.5m we've been hearing. But Peterborough have a knack of receiving good fees for their players, whereas Derby don't.

We look at last season's places for next season's competitors, but you can almost guarantee that one of the play off teams will be mid table team this coming season and that one or two will be 'surprise' contenders like Plymouth last season.

Something we need to remember when slagging off other places and accents, is that Rams fans come from far and wide and can get offended by fellow Rams attacking their home and culture. I am born and bred just outside Brum, like ANY big town or city there are places that are not pleasant, but these are matched by some very nice areas and people. How many Rams fans on here born and bred in Nottingham, cringe at the repeated comments about their folk being inbred and having 6 fingers and the level of crime in their area?
I've been fortunate enough to go to Vancouver and Melbourne (Australia), 2 places frequently in the best places to live in the world. But I happened across areas in both, just off the tourist route, which were as bad as anything in Brum.
Let's think twice before slagging off other places and/or people, please.

Depends whether we need to get the money in before we can sign a key player, who we might miss out on?

He's not dropping out of anywhere, he was released by Hull so didn't have a club! 
Looks a solid signing though. 

Now that we're up and running, do we need to change the title to something like 'New Signings'?
