Actually I am not totally sure, thinking of the WBA game….

I'm not sure whether it was on Sky or not, but I'm pretty certain it was on terrestrial TV too.  I watched it at home (and didn't have Sky) with a group of friends who were either Derby fans or were supporting Derby for just that match, whilst another Leicester fan friend watched it at his house with another group of friends, and we all met up afterwards in a pub.

I'm guessing, but I would assume Middlesbrough might have a case if Derby had broken any laws of the land, but as far as I'm aware, we've only broken EFL rules in which case our punishment is handed out by them.

"would you be interested in investing in the club?" 

 

"I'm not that stupid" ???

I'm worried how this might sound to potential investors.

Maybe wishful thinking, but I think there's reasons why Wayne might want to stay here - particularly proximity to Manchester and his family.  If he was able to bring us back from the edge of calamity then into the prem in a few years, it would be an epic story that would do him no harm whatsoever, and he'd still have plenty of managerial years left in him.

And there's this story which broke last Friday - although I think that date coinciding with news of the administration is likely coincidental as his liquidation would likely have been planned months ago.

Maybe Mel didn't tell Wayne because he believed he already knew? Maybe there's a play from MSD that involves Wayne?  Or maybe I'm clutching at straws!

Blaming COVID is a ducking joke
