Colin has got a bit of the Davros about him.

Jeez that was like watching Dr Who in the 70s from behind a cushion. First and only time I'll say this but thank you Boro'. 

Dallas.
He's told you already.

I suspect any of us at a certain age would....ahem.....know of Debbie.

I had the good luck to get a hole in one on the 12th at Wollaton Park and then on the par3 13th I hit the pin and it finished 2inches away!  Happy days! 

Firstly, let's start off by looking at the minutes of academy graduate involvement in the league since Mel's takeover in 2014 (excluding Hughes and Hendrick):
14/15 - Hanson (160), KThomas (65), Bennett (36)
15/16 - Hanson (892)
16/17 - Lowe (716), Hanson (251), Bennett (23)
17/18 - Hanson (50), Bennett (41), Thomas (6)
18/19 - Bogle (3485), Bennett (1108), Lowe (270), Bird (110), JML (7)
19/20 - Bogle (2902), Lowe (2281), Bird (1910), Knight (1808), Sibley (739), Buchanan (276), Whittaker (269), Bennett (178), JBrown (6), Trialist (6)
20/21 - Knight (3302), Buchanan (2421), Bird (1838), Sibley (953), Whittaker (207), McDonald (199), Watson (133), Trialist (57), Stretton (29), Cresswell (8), Ebosele (6), Gordon (1), JML (1)
Up until 2018, academy graduates were limited to cup games or being their in case of emergency. Lowe was the only one to get a run of games and impressed in them, only to get dropped back to to 4th choice when, Forsyth, Olsson, Warnock or whoever else was flavour of the week at LB. Lowe looked ready for that step up but his progress was blocked because of the sheer number of high earning players in front of him - this is what Mel wanted to prevent in the future as it stalled Lowe's progress for 2/3 years.
In the 18/19 season, Frank wanted to loan Bogle out for experience. Because we chose not to give him the odd appearance in the league previously no-one wanted him. However, it's hard to argue against Bogle and Bennett deserving their game-time under Frank.
Due to heavily focusing on the first team, we could no longer afford to keep such a large squad under P&S, hence a cut back in 19/20. Let's not forget we were under and embargo? Bogle deservedly retained his place as 1st choice RB.
Lowe started the season as 2nd choice LB due to Fozzy's long term injury, and only came into the side following Bogle's injury. By the end of the season, many felt he was our best LB.
Bird came in to the side half way through the season due to an injury crisis at CM (Bielik, Huddlesteone, Shinnie, Evans all out?). He was some people's player of the season despite only playing in half the games.
Sibley was head and shoulders above U23 and looked ready for Championship football, as shown by his 5 goals in 11 games at the end of the season. You could also argue Knight came into the side too soon, but again, he proved he was ready with consistent performances and a respectable 6 goals in 31 games.
Buchanan again only came in due to an injury crisis.
Others invovled due to not being able to add any more depth without failing P&S
On to this season, as you know we are still feeling the repercussions of our heavy spending early on in Mel's reign. Under another embargo, if i recall correctly?
Bird, Knight and Sibley rightfully deserved to be included in the squad base on their performances in 19/20.
Buchanan started off as Fozzy's backup due to selling Lowe and loaning out Malone to stay within financial restrictions.
Are we really arguing over 200 minutes of football given to the odd remaining player?
 
£5m seems reasonable to Norwich, Reading, Blackburn, Middlesbrough, Stoke and even Sunderland

And I have 1 ?

I think that's what he's saying, this team, apart from a few will not be playing next season, certainly ckr won't be our main striker. 

Nothing wrong with it at all, just quite a statement, especially when we can barely get a team together at the moment let alone score a goal ? If he gets us there I'll be ecstatic. 

Although I remember Leicester owners saying the same thing and it sounding a bit far fetched 

You mean we're not even aiming to win the Premier League but just "settling" for a European place??!!!
Where's the ambition, man?? ?

Is he referring to the European Super League? ?

That gif sums up my feelings as a Rams supporter since 2008 

This has been all I've been thinking about all day.

Anyone else like the irony of No Limits Sports being a Limited company?

Thanks.  Lots of dodging bullets comments (in a very lemming like fashion) but I quite liked this one:
"comparing Derby to us . they have a modern ground ,training facilities 1st rate , they have  some sellable players . taking the love out of our club out of it , if he bid 30 million for us then Derby would be worth 100 million. am a far wrong?"

For me, it's that none of us really know whether to cheer or cry.  Yes it went wrong at Wednesday but then he was dealing with Chansiri.  I'm glad we have a buyer if only to provide some semblance of solidity for the remainder of the season.  The proof will then come in terms of what happens during the summer, at which point I'll decide whether I cheer or cry.
