Where has the talk of Morris being part of a group trying to buy the club come from. ??? 
 
it’s all over twitter so it must be right. 
 
I personally think we will see Andy Appleby back at the helm of the club he loved. With someone behind him, possibly Dell. They are connected to MSD, but MSD could be restricted as they already put money into Burnley I believe. 
 
The other option is the Binnie family have come back with a bigger offer. 
 
only time will tell of course 

I thought that ended when his playing days came to end. Did he sign a new contract when he became manager ?

Sadly Festy hasn’t been sold and we get nothing. He is signing a contract next week, according to Rooney, as we couldn’t offer him a new one. Though it has been mentioned we might get compensation because of his age. But I doubt it somehow 

I can remember Chelsea getting gates of 10,000 or so and being one of the worst clubs in London. We were a much bigger club than them, and most others in the country for a number of years. At least I was there for the trophies and 35,000 average attendances. Being a sad old bar steward comes in handy sometimes.
 

Actually, I was disappointed Chris Kirchner didn't acquire the club last year. He seemed to have passion and drive. Wayne seemed to like him too. 

The Binnies also said they made ‘many attempts’ to buy the club 

Any prospective owner watching todays game against Peterborough could not fail to have been impressed by the never say die attitude of players and staff. Plus the incredible support from the stands. So loud we could probably be heard in Nottingham. 
 
if that was me as a possible owner I would so want to be involved and help this club grow 

Plus Jack Wills (he owns them as well) opening in the Derbion as well

It's brilliant when you are in  a game when the ball simply won't go in, neither will it fall to a Derby player when it breaks loose or bounces in the penalty area, and we still win!
Yet another great performance, and apart from 10 minutes after Tom's red card when we went into shock and started playing too cautiously, we simply kept on going and going and going. It seems that Jason Knight's "Never Stop" attitude has rubbed off on the rest of the squad. I think Knighty was man of the match for me, because not only did he keep going non=stop till he was subbed, he affected the play really well. And he has built up a great understanding with Nathan Byrne, playing give-and-go into the corner 4 or 5 times in a row towards the end of the second half. Why Peterborough never picked up on it I don't know, and he got several crosses in as a result.
The ref didn't do too badly today, or perhaps it is better to describe him as not as bad as the usual rubbish we get. But he missed some glaringly obvious fouls. Coulson's two-footed lunge at Ebosele a few minutes before the sending off was a straight red. The ref saw it and waved play on, booking the guy a few minutes later. Festy did the right thing, going straight up the wing and skinned him, with there only being one result. Peterborough were so out of touch that time wasting and fouling became a major tactic, so well done Festy. And there is a delicious irony - the ref booked a Peterborough player for time wasting way before time added on at the end, which is almost unheard of, but even after an entire season of the refs letting opposition players time waste for almost the entire 90 minutes, Derby ended up with more bookings for tie wasting than Peterborough! He also missed the forearm smash on Tom Lawrence, and must have been trained by Mike Dean (ask Beilik!), but Tom was stupid for taking things into his own hands. His foul could have resulted in a really nasty injury. Unlike Crooks, Coulson will remember the incident for quite some time.
Once Tom went off Max Bird stepped up and took responsibility, driving the team forwards, and good old Louie Sibley. He made a big impact on the match, with a shot just wide within moments of him coming on, and was buzzing about all over the place. His willingness to run at the defence caused loads of problems, but I was sure his shot was going to drift wide, because it was that sort of match - as per my opening sentence, so to see the ball nestle into the inside netting was brilliant. And what a difference bringing him on into his best position. Who'd have thought that would work? !!!!! I can imagine, and hope, that he will get the next 3 games in the number 10 role. And apart from only being brought on with minutes to go and being played out of position almost every time, he hasn't really produced what he can do, apart from the few times he has actually been played in the middle. Rooney has actually said that he was holding Louie back from first team action in the same that he did with Max Bird last season. Well, let's see what he can do.
And Mr Cashin - wow, what a debut! He looked like he was the seasoned pro bringing years of experience to a young side. More so than Thompson, nothing fazed him. He just dealt with everything with aplomb and didn't put a foot wrong. not even a misplaced pass! We've got an absolute jewel there!
And the fans - apart from being shocked at Tom's red card for a few minutes, we were LOUD. I got home with cauliflower ears, like I'd been toa rock gig. And it was normal for the ground to be empty within 10 minutes of the final whistle. But not anymore. Walking outside the ground watching people wearing huge grins and singing their heads off is brilliant. It wasn't this good during Stevie Mac 1, and they were great times. I've been a Ram since the Brian Clough years, and this is the best time ever! THANK YOU, YOU RAMS!

Bridgen is spot on really. Football writes its own rules which turns out to mean, in a situation like ours, potentially no one gets any money (including the taxpayer via HMRC) because speculative football claims (not debts) have to be protected at 100pc of whatever their value turns out to be, whenever that is decided.
From a business point of view - we are talking about saving a stricken business here - it makes absolutely no sense. You are asking far too much of investors ("Buy this ruined business for £30m, but oh by the way we might decided you need to cough up a further £50m further down the line, depending on the results of an internal panel re: supposed wrongdoing that you had absolutely nothing to do with".) There's a reason administration law doesn't work like this in other industries. And surely football clubs are supposed to be more worthy of protection from liquidation - not more exposed to it by rules like this?
By all means increase the points penalty for administration, tighten FFP rules, whatever. God knows we need it: there are so many examples of clubs treading a very thin line, shifting huge debts around, selling things to themselves, etc etc. And then they get into trouble. 
But don't force those clubs out of business by imposing rules that simply don't exist in any other industry. 

I had a reply from Andrew Brigden some 10 days ago when emailed him, I told him what DCFC fans thought about the EFL and their underhand dealings with us, A nice reply...but what got my attention was..."we're aware and are on top of it" now going on my previous post, It has a lot of potential also not a great deal will be done
