There was never £3m on the table for Tom Lawrence.
A big issue with most of the various bids in January was that very little of the money offered was up-front, and therefore wasn’t really of any use at all. 
That is what made the Crystal Palace offer for Plange different. 

Thanks for replying Owen, appreciate the additional info, I had better lay off the conspiracy juice! And can I just say I’ve seen some of the absolute gibberish sent your way by clowns on Twitter these last few days, ignore the cretins, you and your colleagues do a brilliant job, especially in these trying times, so thank you. ? 

My gut still tells me that yes, we will.
Letting Derby go under ultimately doesn’t help anyone, EFL included. 
I have a lot of thoughts about everything that’s gone on/is going on but it is probably best that I keep them to myself. 
All I will say is that the supporters & staff have been let down at every turn. 

Sorry I’m late to this. 
It’s a bit redundant now but just to give some context. On Monday, only BBC Radio Derby & the Derby Telegraph came down, so there wasn’t really a formal press conference. Given there wasn’t any major news, I didn’t tweet. Simple as that!

We won’t be back on tonight, sorry everyone.

Heading down to Derby shortly, educating @DarkFruitsRam7 on what to and what not to drink, he needs some help bless him so taking him under my wing.
Luckily he's nowhere near being ready to grow any kind of facial hair, so a beard, IPA's and craft ales are out the question.
Will show him that all he needs is a bit of stubble and a quality pint of lager, save the lad.
As for the game, managed to withdraw £50 from the wedding fund to bag a couple of tickets, probably set myself up for an horrendous list of chores around the house which have yet to be submitted.
With the my usual destination the South Stand sold out, I've gone completely rogue with my seat choice, NW corner, when do you ever hear that? 
Method to the madness though, it's below the RamsTV studio, so look out for me with a cardboard sign asking for @Owen87ITKshirt and tie after the game.

The EFL, Gibson and the Wycombe unknown have got their way. 

Agreed.
Despite public pressure on the EFL to decide by fans, media and MP's they are still yet to make the call.
Despite public pressure on Gibson and Couhig to withdraw their claims from some of their own fans, media and MP's they have still yet to withdraw.
Looks highly unlikely either will change now, the opportunity to move in response has passed and they are all holding firm.
This is the logical step now to have a ruling in court which the EFL would not be able to ignore and allow us to move forward.

It is huge. 
Having a claim for an unknown sum of money over us from two clubs, how can you expect anyone to want to touch that?
Quantuma have alluded to it a couple of times and trying to get clarity from the EFL, which looks like they have been unable to do if the next step is to take it through the courts.
All that could be avoided if the EFL climbed down off the fence, but you know, far more interested in protecting their own arses in all this and help save one of it's founding member clubs with a simple decision.
Are Boro and Wycombe football creditors, yes or no.
 

i suspected as much, i am a myth

I’ve interviewed Richard Stearman today.
 
Wayne press conference is tomorrow. Makes sense this week, given how quickly things are changing. 

Not the number of months we've been under embargo over the past 4 years (which is almost 30 months), but the number of months since our U18s won the 18/19 League title, after beating an Arsenal side featuring Bakary Saka 5-2 in the Final. The young Rams also finished 8 points ahead of a Manchester United side which contained Mason Greenwood.
 
From that squad, 11 have played for our first team making a combined 419 appearances.
Those still with us and are in and around the first team:
McDonald - 8 first team apps.
JBrown - 4 first team apps.
Cashin - 3 first team apps.
Buchanan - Still only 20 but has already played 60 times.
Bird - With him making 97 appearances for the Rams, he'll be hoping to make his 100th app for the club in Feb
Thompson - Missed just 12 minutes of football since coming into the side against Bournemouth, the first of his 11 appearances.
Knight - An almost ever present in the first team since the start of the following season. He has already made 100 apps and scored 11 in the process.
Sibley - Still only 20 but has 7 goals and 4 assists in his 65 first team apps.
Festy - Already a fan favourite after 23 appearances.
Stretton - Limited to just 15 appearances given his injury troubles.
Some are still with us but are yet to play for the first team:
Dixon - Named on bench twice.
Wilson - Named on bench twice.
Matthews - yet to feature in a matchday squad.
Notable players who have since departed the club:
Whittaker - 32 appearances for Derby before moving on to Swansea where he scored 5 in 22 apps. He's currently on loan at Lincoln City where he has scored 1 in 3.
Delap - Left the club in summer 2019 for Man City, he has played for their first team on 3 occasions scoring once.
And the handful of others who have left:
Charles - Joined Mansfield and played twice, who loaned him out to York City where he made 4 apps
Archie Brown - Move to Switzerland in the summer just gone to play for Lausanne-Sport. Has made 2 apps, and a further 2 out on loan.

We can’t show tonight’s game anyway because of Premier League restrictions, unfortunately.

I'm sure somebody from Quantuma will read this.
I think the way they've handled what can only be described as 'a situation they'll probably never have to deal with again and made difficult in many ways' very well and they seem to be the only ones who come out of this with any credibility.
We as supporters are obviously wanting answers everyday but that's not possible. I also believe that the admins was taken down a garden path by the EFL who led them to believe we could name a preferred bidder until the goalpost was changed last minute.
The EFL would have been laughing at Wayne Rooney after hearing his press conference last Thursday knowing that after the Quantuma's meeting with the EFL, we wouldn't be announcing a preferred bidder.
It's clear as day that the EFL, Boro and Wycombe are trying to turn DCFC fans against Quantuma - Don't let that happen, Quantuma IMO have been very good in all of this and deserve some huge praise. We heard it from Owen Bradley that these guys are doing everything they can.
As a supporter base we've been excellent all season but even more so in the past 7 days - Let's keep sticking together and one day very soon, we'll get rewarded and the future will be black and white, without any doubt.
