Can someone please change the title of this or merge it with something else !
Anyway I am hearing that our Mr Rooney has been paying our teams travel and accommodation costs this season so far, now if that is correct some people need to give themselves a proper slap. The Bloke can’t fail at Derby now can he.

When they get the money for the first lot I would suggest ?

My take on that 
He is absolutely right without covid this would never had happened but Covid has happened it is here 
we look to have failed the FFP in one year by £4 million so Potential 4pt deduction so I assume that may linger on? Will that be £4 million on following years? And more 4 point deductions - who knows as the EFL seem to double count.
we were denied the £8 million loan in January by the EFL ( premiership money) to help pay tax and NI for unexplained reasons which is a shame because now the HMRC won’t be getting that money as a nation because they will be offered let’s say 20 pence in the pound in the not to distant future.
he mentioned about us not being to extend a players contact to keep him a year longer to maybe keep his value or sell him ( we know this to be Jack Marriott) he also mentioned that another championship club lost a lot of money in a similar way - my view is that it would be Reading FC and Omar Richards who left to join Bayern Munich was it on a free) 
He mentioned that since F&P has come in only Two clubs have been promoted without breaching F&P 
He mentioned that 15 calls of interest in buying the club came in over the weekend which he believes 2-3 have the means and intent to do so 
I believe he mentioned that he still owns the stadium so if he gets anything back it may come from that and his losses are in excess of £200 million of his own money 
He said he tried and failed and was sorry that we are where we are.
He wouldn’t go into depth about the EFL at this point in time 
we’ll that’s what I heard I read others may have different opinions.

Yet the money is designed to pay the taxman and now it can’t - utterly ridiculous as this is the exact reason it was offered

That's as I heard it too.
He won't (yet) elaborate on the EFL's attitudes and actions/inactions so as not to jeopardise DCFC's defence of some positions, or perhaps to help to mitigate some penalties.
I think he has plenty of 'ammo' regarding some of the EFL tactics and lack of fairness:
Remember the way they used the Chorley FA Cup tie re: counting those junior players of having made a first team appearance, then commuted to  counting those with professional experience - which altered and delayed the meagre embargo player recruitment entitlements; their 'regret' that a points deduction could not follow the £100,000 fine; the announcement of a duplicate Rams/Wycombe League-swap fixture-list, without discussion or reference to the club beforehand?
I don't think he will 'misbehave' on stadium sale factors. He doesn't want the club to fold or be homeless.
I did not hear him say he had invested or lost £200m. Didn't Ed ask him how much he had SPENT? He answered "£200m".
Apart from the revelation about the £4m overspend for one accounting period (hence 4 points deducted) we don't know if other years are non-compliant or by how much.
A few answers, half-answers, some explanations....and a couple of truckloads of other questions still outstanding!

I think a lot commenting on here have already made their mind up.
I'm not happy myself, however, I'd ask people to at least keep an open mind.
It's not implausible to think that potential buyers are waiting for administration because their costs would be so much less.
I agree staff and supporters will suffer but this may actually be the only way to get the new owners that everyone craves.

Well I definitely want to listen 
yes he’s made mistakes 
yes he will have his own opinions which is fair enough as well 
he put a lot of  Millions into DCFC 

On the contrary, I want to hear what he has to say. Then I can make my own mind up about it before it is twisted, misinterpreted,  slanted either way to suit people's agendas before posting on here.

I hope no Derby county fans go to the riverside again - hit them in the pocket

If the EFL want a relegation place sorted in September it’s 21 points or more if they are remotely concerned with the integrity of the competition it will be 12 in total 
Remember they openly stated that they want us relegated so you can make your mind up  

It sounded like the takeover walked away this week and that was that 

Hey All,
I heard this news earlier. I don't know much about the history of how you got to this stage but I know that it's due to mismanagement and really poor conduct by owners. I also heard Rooney earlier say he heard about the Administration when watching TV. 
I was gutted to hear this latest update. I like Derby - although that's not really the point at the minute...
I think the point that I wanted to make is that every single football fan really needs to take notice here. It could be there club next. It doesn't matter if they're your biggest rivals, you hate the club, etc.. it's more than that. I'm sick of seeing rich owners come in, playing at being a chairman, making poor decisions or taking risks and then putting the whole club in jeopardy. I'm also sick of the rest of the footballing world just ignore it and almost watch on with mild interest to see what happens. We're all football fans first and foremost and clubs like yours and others have been around well over a hundred years and form a huge part of the community. 
It's the fans that really suffer here. Not to mention the staff, those in back office roles, canteen staff, cleaners, car park attendants, maintainance people, etc... 
Anyway, I hope that there is some better news for you soon although I realise things look bleak. I know you're going to try to negotiate on the points deduction, either way hopefully there's some clarity and closure on that so you at least know where you stand and can focus on football. 
Great result today as well (at least that's one positive!) 

I hope no Derby county fans go to the riverside again - hit them in the pocket 

No sadly not
But as a fan while I still have breath in my body I will continue my ralling crys to us Derby fan and players.

Well lads you did us all pround of you are Derby county and we are fighters to bitter end. And with everything going off you at least sent a message to players to fans we are one and togather we shall come out of this stronger than ever before.
Now to new owners you seen what players are trying to do and roony first thing first get those damn keys of mel and then give roony some funds in january window and pay as much debt as you can.
Now mel I never ever wanted to say this when you leave dont you dare ever step inside pp again GET OUT OF OUR CLUB.
And us the fans have shown how much this club means to us.
I will there guys.
