Apparently they’ve mixed up the paperwork with the contract renewals, so currently Curtis Davies owns Derby County.?

BBC Radio 1, finger on the pulse, during newsbeat about an hour ago "Wayne Rooney's Derby County could finally be taken over....."

Followed by a John Percy article 2 hours later:
"Derby County name change shocker"
Or
"David Clowes rumbled as silent backer identified as Fawaz, shocker"
Something like that ?

Interesting that Rush now has 3 arms.
I like AA as a person and he certainly would run things responsibly, but I get the feeling he's spending his time down in cash converters in his underpants looking for the last few pennies. Quite a few people were fairly dissatisfied with GSE at the time even if they would give us stability.

He and the women will go down most like for 6 to 7 years each but if I was Sebley I go the damages so I be sueing them as well for every single last penny they have got.
But this will mental dammage girlfriend for years and years to come I know this has got bullied beaten up but I was to tiny to fight back as 11 I was in 5 to 6 hear old clothes.
Back on topic she will most likely jump at every little bang and that is understandably she has a long hard fight ahead try get fully better but I hope that she better soon.
If selby is reading this we all on here Hope's that police get those scum bags that this to her. 
Keep strong selby and derby fans on here all with you and for her also.

I don't think for one minute Ed has put this info out maliciously, or that he hasn't been given information from what he deems a reliable source.
For once I actually feel for him a bit here, he has surfaced a message a lot of people don't want to hear and is probably getting hammered for it.
His source might be right, his source might be wrong. Ed was just trying to give the fans the latest as he understood it.

The BBC don't generally report on something unless they've heard it from 2 different independent sources. I'd believe them over Nixon.

Nightmare trying to get hold of him. Finally got through - hard to hear but he said something like ‘you utter bell ringer will you just get off my phone I’m trying to sign ...  [    ].’ and then he just hung up!  Hard to get the name at the end, flappy, bappy something like that. Anyway pretty rude if you ask me 

Bloomers went off to work in London for a bit but came back to take on the Breakfast Show. He was being watched by 5Live when he got ill. He’d be national by now, no doubt. 

Wish CC all the best, a well above average broadcaster at local radio level so was always destined to leave.
His replacement? Have to admit I am a fan of Colin Gibson, but don't think he'll fancy being the "main man" again. I like Dave Fletcher too but don't think he would have time alongside all the cricket stuff as well. So I'm assuming will be a new face.

11 days to go until they bounce and we get liquidated

I don’t think he scored that many at Boro. I thought it was an underwhelming signing for a team pushing for European football. Fuertes was a good player, ending up an Argentinian international later in life. He was also a very nice guy as my dad knew him and I met him several times as a youngster.  Shame it didn’t work out. Weird passport issues. Somehow he could play in France the season after. 

If Bielik is desperate to play at a higher level, I would loan him out, not sell him. Should cover most or all of his wages plus possibly a small loan fee.
We could then have him back if we get promoted.

You’re going to be gutted this morning, and rightly so.
But it ain’t all bad.
When we dropped out of the old 2nd division into the 3rd in 1984 things were in many ways, worse.
We didn’t (quite) have the financial issues, but we had a horrible team and the entire season was utterly depressing and devoid of hope in a way this season hasn’t been.
My personal highlight of an utterly depressing season was meeting Dave Watson in a Little Chef on the A1 after we spanked Cambridge away 3-0 in the FA Cup. That was pretty much it for ducks sake.
AND we had not just relegation, but the ignominy of losing to Plymouth in the FA Cup quarter-final to contend with after we had dragged them back to the BBG.
We all thought that we’d bounce right back when we did get relegated and the arrival of Arthur Cox just emboldened that belief.
An opening day away loss to Bournemouth, when Bournemouth then were more like the equivalent of Exeter now, didn’t dissuade us.
Of course, we didn’t bounce back and ended up outside the top 6.
But we had some BRILLIANT away days that season, Hull, Lincoln, and the last game of the season at Newport spring to mind.
It was a whole lot more fun than the previous season because we were, for the most part, competing and you could see what Arthur was trying to do.
There’s something fun about going to smaller clubs and taking the place over. Those of you who travel to away games know that the camaraderie is special.
In fact, the adversity that we have faced this season has developed that camaraderie, only it’s done it at home.
I work online and use social media a lot and the admiration for Derby’s support, especially those of you who travel away is a delight to read. I’ve even read genuine Forest and Leeds fans say they’re impressed.
And what’s not to be impressed about?
Forget the trolls who are loving this, the REAL football supporters appreciate and understand what Rooney has dragged the club through and the guy is universally respected, exponentially more so than when he was merely an excellent player.
He’s now an excellent ex-player and an excellent human being. Time will tell if he can become an excellent manager, but the signs are promising.
The second year under Arthur we did come up and that season was even better for road trips..
I’ve seen Derby beat Benfica, Real Madrid, every top English club multiple times and Forest many times. But if I were to list the best 5 games I’ve ever attended, Derby at home to Rotherham in the old 3rd Division on a Friday night would be up there.
That game with that penalty that took us back up to what would now be the Championship was a raucous, intense and then delirious atmosphere ending in an effing celebration comparable with any I have witnessed - although to be fair, my memory is a tad blurry because we did hit the pub hard.
I doubt there was a Liverpool fan that got anything like the joy from beating Man City in the cup semi or will get more if they win the thing, than we Derby fans got from squeaking past Rotherham that night.
The fact is, winning is just fun, no matter what division you are in. And beating adversity is fun too. So much more satisfying and enjoyable than just delivering on what’s expected.
Somebody posted that they hope we're not that team that thinks they will bounce back up.
I don't really care if fans think that. It's totally irrelevant.
What is relevant is what WR thinks and what he allows his staff and players to think.
And I have no doubt whatsoever that he'll not allow that entitled type of mindset to creep in.
The good news is we have renewed hope for a stable club, a very promising manager in place, an Academy that is flourishing even if it is being pillaged and some wins to look forward to.
We are where we are, so we may as well embrace it and have fun. And you will have some fun, I promise.

Nurse! He’s out of bed again!

Still love the fact that in 1989 whilst not winning our POTY Shilts finished 5th in the Ballon d'Or
