they might have to consider selling some game packages like 5 at a time as people might not want to cough up for a whole season depending on their financial situation.

Not posted on since the good old days.  But for the first time today I am very worried about my derby county, I have followed them since I came to live here in 1974 and the only engment  I had was through the rams , myself and my late father and brother all derby through and through,  I'm the only one left now 
And if this was taken away from me 
It will finsh me.  So I pray ?
Please please save this great club 

Sorry B4 but what about the previous months of being in admin have made you believe this is possible?
Not a chance anyone is offering 60 to 70m
No chance.

I heard it was Colleen and she was waiting to see who posted it on Instagram 

Tome Lawrence gets caught up in Joiner gate, Tom Lawrence is fined and suspended for Joiner Gate, Tom Lawrence gets yet another red card, Tom Lawrence goes out boozing with the yank in Derby town centre, Tom Lawrence has his picture taken with the yank.
Yep...a right plonker

No Dosh Available?

Maybe it's ck with a Tom lookalike 

At least I'm now getting an insight into what subjects you think bring a bit more excitement to the thread ?

Who knows any more Tyler. Do you think anyone has been honest with us for about the last 3 years?!

Agree - I think its really terrible. All the rumours of bids, joint bids, etc since CK pulled out - they still have nothing that satisfies 1) or 2). So has Abbleby's gang not bid £50m then  - what is all that about? Its all just media garbage and game playing. 

More waiting my god it's enough to test the patience of a saint. 

I went to school with a nice lad but a bit thick, He turned out to be a thief, He spent 5 years in Strangeways, Once released I saw him in my local boozer, Alright Alf he said...How's things Mick, Alf he said I've pinched a couple of paintings, One worth £1 million the other worth £2 million, Come and have a look at em they're in the car, I followed him outside, He lifted his boot lid and I took the paintings out, I said to him you've burgled an estate agents

Oh no you've ruined it now.....
 

And to save the day @RoyMac5 leaps in with another Tweet from his random collection of Twitterati sources, was beginning to go cold turkey as hadn't seen any posted for at least 2 hours ?

"Thank you for your email. We also note Trevor Birch’s response on behalf of the EFL.
Firstly, it is very important to state that we absolutely understand the frustration and distress of the fans, particularly since the turn of the year. We receive a huge quantity of correspondence daily and are also aware of the considerable press reporting and social media activity. Clearly, some of the reports have been closer to the truth than others.
Before a sale is finalised, there is an immediate requirement to secure the short-term future of the club, to allow players to be signed, issue season tickets for sale and to secure commercial agreements, as well as our best intentions to bring the uncertainty for staff and supporters to an end as soon as possible.
Once the short-term future of the club is secured, the minimum requirements for a bidder to be referred to the EFL for consideration are:
Bidders to submit offers that pay football creditors in full, pay 25p in the £ to other creditors (or 35p in the £ over 3 years) and propose a suitable solution for the club’s ongoing occupation of the stadium.
If such offers are not received, the next possibility is for offers that pay football creditors in full and propose a suitable solution for the club’s ongoing occupation of the stadium. In this scenario, where less than 25p in the £ is paid to other creditors, a 15-point deduction would be imposed for next season (depending on when a sale completes).
If neither 1) nor 2) is met, then it is unclear what position the EFL will take.
In either scenario 1) or 2) the costs of the administration need to be settled. The vast majority of these costs are the ongoing trading losses that the club sustains on a monthly basis and within that the biggest cost by a distance is payroll and associated costs. The options the administrators had to reduce costs were to make widespread redundancies, sell more first team players in the January transfer window and reduce the club’s Category 1 Academy status. It was decided not to do so in order to maintain the club in as strong a position as possible for a buyer and to give the first the team the best possible chance of avoiding relegation. It has been to date, and remains, extremely challenging managing cash flow each month in what remains a heavily loss-making business. Contrary to speculation Quantuma has not drawn any fees to date. The basis of drawing fees is set out in the joint administrators’ proposals report that was issued in November. It has not changed since, although considerable time costs have been incurred which will not be fully recovered. It is not in Quantuma’s interests financially, to allow the administration to become unnecessarily protracted nor for the companies to be placed into liquidation.
We are having extremely positive and productive discussions with interested parties in relation to the short-term requirements and are confident of those discussions leading to a sale thereafter which will secure the club’s long-term future. We do not, however, believe that imposing ‘hard deadlines’ are the answer at this stage. You will recall that we imposed deadlines earlier in the process which were not adhered to by bidders. We were then heavily criticised for extending those deadlines. In reality, no bids were received that were suitable to be recommended to the EFL for approval i.e. none that fell into category 1 or 2 above. Had we not extended the deadlines the alternative would have been to place the club into liquidation at that stage which no fan wants. We agreed with the EFL that we would report to them once we received a bid that satisfied 1) or 2) above, which Chris Kirchner’s bid did. Now that Mr Kirchner’s bid has been withdrawn, we will again report to the EFL upon receipt of a bid that satisfies 1) or 2).
We are bound by confidentiality agreements and so we cannot release the identities of the parties who have come forward, nor can we release any detail in relation to their interest or bids. However, all interested parties know that it is in their interests to be in situ as soon as possible in order for them to put together a competitive playing squad and secure valuable commercial contracts whilst giving staff and fans certainty for the future. The club does not have the luxury of time, and so, even without hard deadlines, the club’s future must be secured very soon.
Further to the EFL’s statement last week we fully understand their need to ensure that Derby County FC can fulfil its fixtures next season for the integrity of the league competition. As confirmed by Trevor Birch we are having daily calls with the EFL to provide updates on progress and that will continue for as long as is necessary and appropriate. As ever, any prospective owner of Derby County FC will be subject to EFL approval and will be required to satisfy the Owners’ and Directors’ Test. Once funding is confirmed for the duration of the season, we will be able to discuss with the EFL the terms of any business plan. Very positive discussions regarding funding and the sale of the club are ongoing.
Kind regards

About time we had some #ITK information on this thread

When asked the question previously on more than one occasion they have always been dead set against it. Their concern seems to be centred around what we as supporters would expect in return for such investment. 
I have felt angry with them ever since, because any attempts to involve the fan community in solutions has been pushed away as if only the 'great and the good' can decide Derby's fate.
I feel they have been patronising at best, and I could say a lot more.
RamsTrust has shared all responses they have had from the administrators. But Quantuma made their views on engagement clear a few months ago imo when they issued that statement about how much it was costing!
Please don't think that because I am on the EFL's side in this latest issue, that I think that they are any better, because I feel they have behaved appallingly as well. As have Mel Morris and potential purchasers. 
I am now rapidly coming to the conclusion that the sooner we get an independent regulator in to sort this shambles out, the better.
Too late to help Derby County out of our current predicament,  but desperately needed.

So a free transfer means more wages for the player and more of a slice of it for the agents.
Parasites.

I'm also very happy with how it went, cutting my time from 2.27 to 2.17 - a full 10 minutes faster.
I think getting from 2.17 to 2.07 however is going to be a lot harder.
But it was good to see the training effort come to fruition.
Well done to everyone who ran it, there's more than 800 did it better than me, so still scope to improve.
See you all next year?
DCFCFans team?

im very pleased with myself  I don’t feel as fit as i did in November, but I shaved about 4.5 mins off my time. This is a way faster average pace than what I’ve been setting on my 10 mile warm up runs.
 

End of This month i think. 
This year pre season is sponsored by Albatross cars.  Proud transporters of the entire squad.

weak bladder?

Don’t tell me a T Rex was covered in feathers too? I’m not having it! Science my arse!
