Ed Dawes said on Radio Derby this afternoon that he had spoken to Mel Morris today 

Well worth a listen. It wasn’t a Rams Trust rep it was Nigel Owen from Black And White Together. He came across very well 

curious on Colin Murray’s show they hinted that Morris could help by putting the stadium into administration, a similar situation happened at Portsmouth apparently. 
 

Also Morris could go from bad guy to slightly better guy by offering to underwrite the claims by Boro and Wycombe. That way a new owner would not have the problem hanging over them 

So one local journalist gives us hope and another local journalist knocks us back down again. 
 

just a normal day supporting the Rams

If Mel still owns the stadium is he allowed to offer it as part of the deal on different terms to different parties? Still trying to influence perhaps if so?  

In one of his tweets he said MM no longer owns the stadium and MSD are the owners 

Not sure if anyone spotted this tweet from Andy Derbyshire the other day when asked about possible Mr Kirchner backers. Rooney has a connection to DC United as well!!

Looking at the table Leeds are above 18th placed Burnley by 5 points. Plus Burnley have 3 games in hand as well 

Have to give the credit. At least they kept it down to 7 

We are doomed anyway because the Wycombe owner has said we systematically cheated last season ?

Trouble is players coming to the end of their contract can sign a pre-contract with another club as of January. Therefore we would get nothing for them unless the new club wants them 6 months earlier. Okay 

He is certainly getting a very good grounding for when he gets the Everton job !!

Hey, old man!

Are you actually bouncing, or do you just need to keep getting up to check you haven't soiled yersen?

 

Yours sincerely,
a non-offensive but rather cheeky young 58 year old!  ? ?

LOL ? to be fair it could be a bit of both.. my knees do struggle with the bounce sometimes

The club is now, I think at a watershed moment. We have had a fan base that still has been traditionally and understandably made up from a lot of young guys from the late 60s through the seventies. A lot of those are now getting on and have long lost the recklessness of youth. Covid has had a big impact on this age group. The club now has a chance, assuming a buyer is found, to start to attract a new younger fan base. Hopefully the spirit, determination and skill shown by our current team of unlikely potential heros can inspire a new generation of fans. The fact we are still getting gates of 20,000 is, in my opinion, an excellent base going forward. UTR

It’s nice to know that now I’m 60 and been following my club since 1967, and still bounce with the youngsters in the south stand, that I’m not wanted anymore because I’m getting on a bit, and COVID should have finished me off by now.

Does this now mean they can break the FFP rules and overspend as much as they like? Be interesting to see if the PL/FA keep an eye on that one. 
 

I bet a certain person at a nearby club will be watching how much they spend!

They are never happy - they are stable but obviously they can’t compete with the money from Man City United chelsea Liverpool etc 

obviously if their potential new owners take over it will push the noses out of a few premiership clubs so the premiership may well want that not to happen.

Ashley owning and investing in Derby county may well be the exact thing we need right now 

It’s quite scary to be honest. The NUFC fans have never liked him. But he did get them back up to the PL by selling players at a good price and bringing in cheaper versions which kept them within FFP I believe. 
 

I might be wrong of course. It would be interesting to know who the group of Americans are, who were reported to be looking around the club last weekend 

So the owner of a Derbyshire based company is about to have money burning a hole in his pocket. As confirmed on the BBC the Saudi Arabians have finally got the go ahead to buy NUFC. 
 

He likes to buy companies that are in administration.  This has been mentioned a couple of times over the last few weeks 

A mix round me in the south upper. Loads of regulars. Plus many new faces. Incredible atmosphere all game from all sections of the ground. 
 

chanted to the West Stand to give us a song. One chap jumped up and started ‘We hate Nottingham’ and many seemed to join in with him. Absolutely brilliant stuff 

According to the Derby Telegraph the M1 between j25 and j26 reopened at 3:20 this afternoon. The A38 between Finders and Mickleover is still closed with a lot of traffic both ways

I  tend to think all this has been created by transport companies across the country. Many obstacles have been put in place for regular drivers to cause this. They want the government to allow them to bring back drivers from the EU on a cheaper wage as it saves them money and keeps shareholders happy

Any Rams follower who lived through Cloughie and Taylor leaving in 1973 is certain of two things:-

1) Thiings are never as dark as they seem and

2) DCFC have an amazing resilience and capacity to bounce back.

NB. A follower supports the team in fair and foul weather. It means more than being a mere fan!

COYR…. Only -2 points with 38 games to go!

Yep agree  I was there in the mid 60's and this is the worst I have ever known. It's so cruel on the fans and the club. Owners should be held to account at all times. But we will bounce back

Hey guys who wishes we had decent fish and chip shop in Derby city centre because I do we lost nick's I went to burger place there now so experance in there but Georges are reasonable priced or at least they use to be. Fish chip one on food court inside what use to be know intu there okay but nrothing special.

There is a George’s Chippy at Park Farm Shopping centre in Allestree. Not too far outside the City Centre 

just after the goal apparently. Other of the ground looks a bit empty 

Goodness me that was stressful listening. Finally a win. Well done everyone and Forest lost 

‘Andy’ on Twitter posts so much stuff from Companies House 99.9% of which baffles me. I get a much more balanced view on here. Thanks guys. 
 

I tend to think now season tickets are available I can’t see us going into administration. I’m also thinking Mel has worked out a way to show the EFL that the club can be funded for the rest of the season 

I’ve no idea what this means but it’s apparently connected to today’s delay
