Criticise Rick Parry all you like but he knows his stuff..
"We are realistic," Parry told BBC Sport. "We clearly know 2024 is coming."
 
Nostradamus like..

Good news, if he's going on to a bigger and more high profile platform, although he'll be a loss to Radio Derby listeners.
He's been the voice of reason for some time on Radio Derby, a great foil for Ed Dawes, and fully deserves a wider audience for his undoubted talent.
Good luck Chris, it's been a pleasure to listen to you these past few years.
 

Ooh ! Multiple communications on the same day ! All in a positive tone too. Breathe... just keep breathing...

He needs to Thai this deal down.

I've not really seen anyone mention this yet but what the bloody hell have the administrators been doing throughout this process?
There seems to have been 2 major issues throughout this process and they seem to have ignored both of them.
Why on earth would you identify someone as the preferred bidder without having an agreement for the most important part of the transaction?
From the outside they've only really done one thing at any great speed during the whole process, and that was letting the EFL bend us over.

Its going to be a fraught couple of days. Went to bed feeling sick to my stomach about this, woke up feeling same. Lets keep other's spirits up and anyone struggling speak up

Another gipsy  curse ?
I don’t think the last one has   finished yet

We need all the help we can get

As much as I’m not really arsed about Lampard, it would be absolutely hilarious if he sent Leeds down.

Mel End Morris

The only fact that matters is that he has taken the ground out of the club and has not done the honourable thing and handed it back over.
To even consider asking 1p for it when the new owner is going to have to pick up 35% of the debts that he ran up is laughable.
A man that paraded himself as a Derby fan, who told us all he would sell the club for £1. An absolute fraud of a person.

Today, Mel Morris had within his gift one final gesture of goodwill to our club, that would have let us celebrate our survival together in our home with a new owner.
Instead, he chose for whatever reason to deny us this final solace, in what has been our toughest season for many decades.
I've always tried to understand the difficulties he has faced, the money he poured into the club, the intransigence of the EFL, the outside factors at play.
But my patience has worn thin lately, and today it has snapped altogether.
You've lost the club, Mel, you've lost our club. You've lost all respect, you've lost our respect. 
No matter what you do from this point forward you will never redeem yourself in my eyes.
 

He’s better than Festy, and that worries me regards clubs wanting him.

Nah, in an emergency it will always double-up as a commode. ??

Yep...thirty quid each..

That's Alan - once he's on the wing, there's no stopping him!

And I nearly forgot, not paying Saint John ambulance debt. That to me was the clincher, you cannot sink lower.

Does it surprise you, MM was out of his depth trying to run the club. When you see this mess and Pearce is still there "trying to help" it really beggars belief. What was he doing when all those companies were set up passing debts, loans, mess from one balance sheet to another.
