Just back from pubs celebrating best 2 days for 9 months club saved new signings new contracts and ive brought yet another retro derby shirt coyrs

I’m going to buy some new training gear when it’s released. I’m so excited - and I’m nearly 31, shouldn’t be ever this excited for TRAINING GEAR. 
 

Then I’ll slip into moor farm and pretend I’m on trial.

Don’t know about anyone else but I’m pleasantly surprised at the speed things are moving at now…

I think this week is going to only get even better. 
 

I imagine 

- we will announce at least 8 more signings / resignings. 
 

- season tickets will go on sale. 
 

- hopefully rosenior will be given manager role perm. 
 

- new kit to come out.

Think it would be easy to make links with the fans and ride the euphoria...?

say we need volunteers to scrub the seats, need to crowd fund to raise money for new permanent flags, have a music festival to raise money to help fund better permanent fixtures for match day.

Market towns have stalls on one day a week that pop up and disappear on the same day. Why can't we have real ale stalls, artisan 'fast food', local bands playing before/after the game? Decent bus travel so you can stick around for a pint after, watch a band and grab a bus into town for a couple of quid instead of flooding straight away. Away fans will want to stick around...its a big day for them..be really nice to actually have a fresh look at match day being a fun day out rather than a repeated hurried stomp there and back.

I think bustler Tom mentioned wanting to some of these kinds of things around the ground or on the way (under the bridge near the river). But I agree the experience needs to be modernised! 

I’d love for the club at some point to make some asthetical changes to the stadium in time to really mark a new era. Some random ideas. 
 

- always thought it would look great if they swapped the seat colours round. Ie go with mainly white with black seats for wording.

- rename the south stand after one of the 4 legends, mackay, clough, cox or smith.

- do something with the back of the north, east and south stands as they’re starting to look a bit grubby. Something like similar to Leicester with former greats montaged around the ground. Maybe one stand could mark each of our most famous years Ie 1946, 1972 and 1975. 

My head is in the clouds still as you can tell.

Been told Kevin McDonald is on trial with us. Not from my usual source, but someone who’s been right before. Don’t know where they get they’re info from so don’t shoot the messenger.

The CDM who used to play for Fulham? He was quality at one point, think he had an illness if I’m right in remembering?

TalkSPORT journalist who covers football for them. Has 40k Twitter followers so may be reliable or may have people hanging on his word for rumours and clicks 

I think he is pretty reliable tbh. Seems one of the people on talksport with actual contacts.

He still lives in the area, Hourihane is more of a CAM than a CDM

He sure does - I just meant there hasn’t seemed to many whispering of where he’s going next so thought as he is here maybe he would be tempted back. Bird for CDM, with Johnson and hourihane ahead - even in the champ that wouldn’t be too shabby. 

Bradley Johnson is enjoying a lot of his free time in Derby atm. Do we think he could be tempted back?  If bielik goes out on loan, Johnson and hourihane with bird and Thompson as the main cms would be very decent at league one level.

Right this may have been answered and it might sound a bit too pragmatic when I should be celebrating

Does anyone know how exactly the club and the stadium are in relation now? Does Clowes own the Gellaw company that owns Pride Park, then the club separately? Only the club statement says that "the club has been brought under the ownership structure as the stadium".

Does that mean they will remain separate entities owned by Clowes or will the stadium be transferred away from that Gellaw rubbish? Because that was the issue this time that the stadium didn't go into administration?

I’m just guessing cause I’m no expert but I imagine as he bought the company that own the stadium and the holding company of the club, as part of the transaction he’s brought it all under one group? I could be completely wrong.

I hope we hear from him today, we have no idea what his plans for the club are yet

I don’t suspect David clowes is going to be anything like the early days mel Morris in terms of being front and centre. I am going to guess that he will appoint a CEO who will be the face and mouth of this Derby County. As he made a point of in his statement, he would rather be an anonymous fan and he likes to do his business quietly. He will of course communicate as and when but I think in the next week he will make key appointments whom will then drive the operation. I’d be surprised if that’s not the case. 
 

think how surreal it is for us all waking up to dcfc saved, he’s woken up with that feeling and now owning us!

One things we MUST do. We must sing the name of Mr. Clowes. This man we owe so much

Someone on the Bristol City Forum is not really happy, here is post from a few minutes ago,

 

Well I didn't think they would go bankrupt though I am glad they have suffered.

I was pondering the other day whether it would change their fans much but I doubt it- in certain aspects ie EFL regs and so forth, the most arrogant, know-nothing fanbase I have seen at this level- I am not including those who are largely PL just down for a while but consistently Championship based clubs. Clowes seems decent from early bits and what I've read- they don't deserve him I expect a sizeable minority of their entitled fans. Wish I'd gone to Pride Park in April but there's still time.

Sharpen that pencil Mr. Couhig unless the claim has already been settled. Key q too is what % to HMRC...are they FOIable.

Yawn just let his obsession continue. Don’t get why he cares so much.

CONGRATULATIONS.

Great news and a great relief.

So please for all my Derby supporting Family & Friends and of course all of you lot here.

Yes, I will admit it now, I am a Forest fan, but contrary to popular belief, there is no law that means being a Forest fan means you have to hate Derby.

Delighted that you are now owned by someone who genuinely loves the club. I  have to say CK struck me as another Fawaz and I think you dodged a bullet big time.

Anyway,  enjoy celebrating this weekend,  then relax and enjoy your summer.

And if you lot can carry the spirit and togetherness you showed last season into this one, it hopefully wont be too long before we can resume those fantastic A52 derbies......hopefully in the PL!

Take care all,

Rich.

Boooooooooooo 

Celebrating in Nottingham after work - youuuuu rams. 

Can’t wait to start booing.

I'm sure they said this yesterday and deleted it though.

has this account ever actually broken anything? I get the feeling they’ve seen Andy’s post and are taking a guess that it will happen. 

Well either my mates screenshots are a LIE or the person got over excited messaging him. For the love of god let it be tomorrow.
