I read somewhere recently that Man City are the Harlem Globetrotters of football, all they have to do is turn it on and they can destroy anybody 

4-0 so far. This England team are on fire

Which smart arse is going to relocate into Clowes’ old seat in the North Stand?

I tend to think he may be keeping his North Stand seat

So as I was leaving the public toilets at Falmouth Harbour, wearing my Derby County shirt, I was asked “Have they been sold, then?”

It was a Rams fan from Heanor! Small world, eh? Apparently he hadn’t found out last nights news!

A bit remote, is Cornwall!

Can I suggest a visit to The Hub Box by the harbour for a beer and a burger. Well worth it ??

At the start of the administration process, many moons ago … The land owners of Moor Farm, a local family believed to be the owners of Locko Park. Said that the long lease on the land with DCFC was not a problem and they were happy to continue with it. 
 

Why all of a sudden does this appear to have changed and where has this rumour/information come from?

The podcast is worth a listen. Mr Appleby mentions connections to Barcelona, Man Utd and naming rights of Spurs stadium 

Will this ever end?

I believe it will be this? 

It’s probably what I’m misremembering too and thinking it was on a podcast (apologies rams review!).

Not had chance to rewatch it though 

That’s the one mate. Well worth a watch 

Andy Appleby did a brilliant interview, it’s on you tube somewhere, about owning a football club. He comes over really well, and says how much his wife loved their time in Derby. 
 

id be quite happy for him to come to back. He might just settle everything down for a bit.

What is this Ed Dawes crap about "6-8 bidders". How's can then there be 6 to 8? It's either 6, 7 or 8 bidders. Be specific if you're so bloody ITK

Sky Sports saying  at least 4 interested

And not forgetting the heat...wow...May till September is was red hot ?

Yes it was an absolute scorcher ?

Well we’ve got upto 1976. That was a good year of European Cup exploits 

Man City just bought a player for £51million, Real Madrid buying someone I’ve never heard of for 100 million Euros. I’m sure I read somewhere yesterday that Liverpool are looking to sign someone for £100million. Hear it begins, all the so called top clubs spending an awful amount of money whilst little old Derby, promised so much by a previous owner, struggle to find someone with £25m to save us. 

It’s quite embarrassing to be honest

Curious as to who exactly is he going to visit at Derby? Be better visiting the Administrators office 

I definitely think the admins are clearing up posts. I tried posting something twice last night and it disappeared both times. It was just something of interest I found on the #dcfc hashtag on twitter

I thought this was covered by Radio Derby the other day, and they hinted the  wages were paid by someone close to the club

The ground is worthless without a team playing on it isn’t it?  And a team playing in non-league football ain’t going to be able to pay the rent needed to make it economically viable.

If people are thinking he might want to knock it down and stick a massive SportsDirect on it, then think about the cost of buying the site, demolition costs, new build costs and then think whether it would be worth it to get another sports shop in Derby.  They aren’t building massive supermarkets anymore so that’s out and - even if it was viable- it would never get permission for housing. Offices and industry just don’t bring the value and there is no market (hence why a petrol station was probably built on the gas holder  site).

Nah, just don’t see why anybody would be thinking of buying the ground as an investment opportunity separate from the football club.

Radio Derby have been saying all week that the ground is no longer a problem as its changed hands

Exactly.

My suspicion is financial institutions are skeptical of crypto because they don't control it yet and as such are using what they can to limit crypro's acceptance. For good or bad, it's a threat to their markets so they're protecting themselves.

Trouble with crypto is it’s not regulated like all banking in the UK 

I think crypto investors have to prove where the money they originally put into crypto came from, before any profits can be transferred from crypto to a normal UK bank account. As far as I understand it has to have a legit paper trail before banks will accept it
