Awesome if he is. ?

Bill's now Head of Human Resource Dynamic Movement Logistics* at another company. 
 
* ie Coach Driver in old money. 

However did we manage when we only had "coach tours", "haulage contractors" and the like?

Just good to see the first player in the game comes across as a sensible level headed person..beats the flash Harry that was around last time..

Not @loweman2 was it? 

I bet the players are chuffed to bits with that turnout for a training session..they already know the fans are 100% behind them and they are certainly giving their all for our club..but must still be a great feeling to see that many people turn up.

It’s a collection tin to go round for the end of the training session.

Half-term innit?

He is here on a voluntary basis now I understand , stepped away from the paid role. Could be wrong though 

Looks like a decent attendance for a training session
 

Is there any wonder football is broken?
I've said it before, but as someone fast approaching their free bus-pass who was in the BBG when we were winning the league, the Championship suits me just fine. Every game winnable and I can get tickets for any game I want to attend. Selfish maybe, but the Premier League is a farce.

Absolutely...already blowing warm smoke up Parry's derriere ...

Absolutely Sir. I think the latter he’s written to the fans is indicative of a very shrewd and emotionally intelligent chap; he seems to understand football and share a love for the game and he knows what it means to Derby. Now he’s set the ball rolling the other interested party will have to act. 

Just seen this on the old Facebook and thought I'd share as sharing is caring.

Very good question. It's all a bit like a job interview...you get asked questions and you have to answer with evidence of your suitability. I suspect it'll be about the amount of £ leverage-ability plus issues of vision & sustainability. In other words the Administrators will have to come to a systematic judgement as to who is the "best fit" for the long-term for Derby County. 

If it turns out that there is more than one interested party at the end of the due diligence process (ie people haven’t been scared off), do you think the administrators will just plump for the party with the most cash (I’m assuming the asking price will be the same whoever is bidding) or will they determine who would be the ‘best fit’ to run the club in the long term?  
Obviously a moot point if it comes down to a bidding war, but if there’s more than one who can meet the asking price, I wonder what the criteria will be.

What the hell
How on earth can they sue for that beyond a joke now.
?

Charlton Athletic are set to sue Derby County for £25 million after the ball burst in the 1946 FA Cup Final. If it hadn’t burst then we might have won or got some good players or something, said a Charlton spokesman. Meanwhile Ipswich Town also announced they were going to sue Derby County due to some reason or other. We might have won more games if they hadn’t beaten us in them, cited an Ipswich spokesman. It simply wasn’t fair that they had better players and scored more goals. We want £40 million and Martyn Waghorn back. 
Meanwhile American fast food chain McDonalds announced that they were going to sue Derby County for fielding a player with their brand name. Flagrant breach of copyright, claimed a spokesman for the evil corporation.
In other news the EFL announced a further 9 points deduction for Derby County after the midlands side finished their 0-0 draw against Swansea with 5 full backs on the pitch. Everyone knows you should have two full backs, said a source close to Rick Parry. Derby ended the game with 5 players who full back could be considered their tecognised position. That is clearly too many. We checked the rules but couldn’t find anything specific about this so we all agreed that 3 points per extra full back sounded about right. 

Meanwhile Wycombe have announced they aren’t going to sue Derby County for getting them relegated by buying Nick Blackman when they were two leagues below after they realised it was totally ridiculous and so far fetched as to be laughable. 

 
*Has anything ever gone wrong with your football club? Not won enough points? Let in last minute winners to players who can’t even drive and park their car properly? Why not sue Derby County? Contact Gibson and Parry Solicitors for your claim form.

A lot of companies are structured to run off debt …. and do it very successfully. So in my opinion whether this bloke is a billionaire or not is irrelevant - particularly in the championship. The killer question is does he have access to suitable and sustainable funds (debt or equity), does his business model allow him to service the debt (and make investments in the right areas). If the investors confident of earning a decent return over time and in the case of debt investor -  that when their debt matures the business will be able to pay that back……dare I say it….. with new debt and a different interest rate - then so what. As others have pointed out, having wealthy owner -  in the world of P&S is more challenging and ends up with higher risk strategies - where the owner maybe tries to stretch the boundaries beyond the affordable in the knowledge he could fund the higher consequence outcomes from personal wealth for a period of time. 
Right now, I feel we’re crying out for someone who tries to run our club as a long term sustainable business - lives within the means - creates a stable environment for the management team to plan and evolve the team with investment. Rooney has made shrewd signings without a pot to p in so it’s proven he doesn’t need millions - he just needs to have clear communication from the club and know what he can work with in advance and plan accordingly.  And yes I’m sure that model will include selling players at the right price and the right time.
Whether Kirchner is the right man for the job - I don’t know. But at least he’s been communicated his intent and given us all something to get excited/cynical about!!
