TBF at the level we're currently at, he only has to be half as good as Andy Todd. 

And with sending the emails for season ticket renewals 

Any news on the planning application mate?

Who's going to be first in line at Pride Park to buy their season ticket?
Let's get 20,000+ tickets sold in the next 4 weeks to show our thanks to David Clowes.

Yes yes yes yes yes
We have won the freaking war

Where have you heard that from Charlie ?
Moor Farm isn't even on Acorn Way & anyway, there's plenty of other land on the Locko side of Acorn Way that is just fields

And give Gibbo his job back: "Welcome to Derby".

Someone active the tracking implant installed in @Owen87ITK

Pinch of salt -  but Staff at the club have been told it’s done apparently - mates showed me a screenshot of his chat with someone who works at the club. 

Hope it doesn’t go to penalties, we ain’t got a goalkeeper!!

Have just been to a work drinks thing and was talking about Derby (as had to explain about refreshing phone!) and someone said "well at least the EFL have been good to Derby". And he was serious ??? Had to move groups

All parties now present, contract signing underway and cash transfers soon to be instigated. Last remaining hold up appears to be that the Quantuma reps are not taking the whole thing terribly seriously.
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

Derby have been in administration for so long my hair has gone mostly grey. I'm not even joking.
I'm 33.

I'd genuinely love some DCFC footage like this. We know they are going, we are all on good terms. Just a few clips of them sat on mowers and sweeping up, or polishing Hourihanes name plate or something.
"Yeah we had to report back for preseason for a few days, but since we're not in the gaffers plans hes got us doing this..."

Liam called into a meeting with Q, To tell him his car alarm is going off and could run his battery down

Jeez, that'll be the next 5 pages discussing if the meeting will be positive or negative
(plus some puns thrown in for good measure)
PS I've set you all up for the puns - lets go !!

I have no idea how much he has. You could Google it, but again it wouldn't necessarily tell us an accurate figure. In 2018 he was listed as being worth £252mil, how accurate that is I have no idea, but my hypothesis for the deal, and his motivation, is this...
Whoever buys Derby County will be buying a club that has to operate under restrictions for the next couple of years at least. That includes how much we can spend on wages and transfer fees. In League One, in theory, it should mean that with our revenue we will be able to be self-sufficient. We can start to look to build again without having the possibility of forking out extortionate amounts. We can give longer contracts than 12 months to players, so if we can recruit another Luke Plange or Malcolm Ebiowei, like we have managed to do whilst already under restrictions, then they aren't going to be poached off of us without our say so. If we choose to sell them, we get a fee to benefit us.
Meanwhile, while we're repairing ourselves and improving, we become much more of an attractive prospect to a more ambitious buyer. We won't have the debts, we won't have the admin fees, we won't have a loan against Pride Park that essentially blocks any sale for however long.
If Clowes doesn't have the funds to keep us beyond our restricted period, I doubt he'd have anywhere near as much trouble selling us. And comparatively, he would still own a stadium that he's bought for a pretty decent price, and could use his business expertise to make a profit on. He also would have saved the Club he's loved his whole life without denting his *reported* net worth much at all.
I think if Clowes wanted the Club for himself indefinitely, he would have entered the game a lot sooner. But he's in because Derby County dying is simply not an option, and if spending a portion of his wealth on us for a couple of years whilst we heal is the price it costs, then I think he's only doing what 95% of us would also do if we had his level of wealth.
