Longer clip, makes some good comments throughout and offers a little more insight from the players perspective. Sounds like he’d like to stay though has to be realistic about his career. Like the fact he says someone needs to put their money where there mouth is, first time someone tied to the club has called it out in the media for one of these “interested parties” to act rather than talk.
 

Players that we could play and players that we should play are different though. We only have 7 players that should be playing first team football.

Yeah, I’m sure that’s why he’s leaving.

Bielik will be loaned out to get his wages off the books for a year. I’d hazard a guess his wages are around about the 20k a week mark, our highest remaining earner by a long way and not really feasible to afford whilst in League One. That will be a significant chunk off our remaining wage bill, and will be enough to allow us to build a squad within the restrictions imo.
The others on that list are generally younger players, and I think you’d be surprised how reasonable their current contracts probably are. Some will be on the limit of League One wages I’m sure, but I don’t think it’s impossible we’d be able to afford to keep the rest in theory, if they want to stay.

Not a fan of reverting back to U21 being the oldest academy team. In my view footballers aren’t fully developed until they’re 23/24, so the previous age limit was about right. You’re limiting the opportunities for late bloomers to come through, as 21/22 year olds will now be let go if they haven’t made the first team yet, even though they might have made it with a bit more time to develop.

Ed Dawes has been abducted by the same people who took Chris kirchners money. I’m onto them and for that reason it’s likely they will come for me next. I only have so much time - the secret to completing Derby’s takeover is behind th

That latest statement from the administrators is really worrying, though credit where credits due, at least they’ve finally come out and told us how it is. If there’s no one offering enough money to even keep us in the League right now, I fail to see how that’s going to change as we end up more and more in debt.
My fears of liquidation are growing by the day, you have to question now whether the clubs in too much of a mess to be worth saving. I certainly think there’s yet another season of pain and probably a second successive relegation ahead of us, at best.

Some actual footballing news...

Decent draw, should be expecting to beat both Grimsby and Mansfield and progress out the group. All dependent on still being alive and having a competitive squad come August, mind.
Neither exactly glamour ties though! Rather depressing to have sunk so low that our first team is in this competition, but I do hope we take it seriously still. Should always be wanting to win every game, and this is our best chance of silverware in a long time imo, however minor a trophy it may be. 

Fair play to Rooney, he said he’d stand by this club and he’s done exactly that. About the only one who’s kept his promises in this whole sorry affair. I may still hold my reservations about his managerial credentials, but there’s no denying he’s guy who genuinely cares. 
Not gonna lie, I’d have jumped at the chance to get out of here in his boots, even as a Derby fan! A job to stay in the Championship at this stage in his career, given he’s never really had the chance to manage in normal circumstances, is an offer you’d find hard to turn down. Cheers for sticking with us Wayne, I really hope you get a chance to have a proper go here soon.

"Thank you for your email. We also note Trevor Birch’s response on behalf of the EFL.
Firstly, it is very important to state that we absolutely understand the frustration and distress of the fans, particularly since the turn of the year. We receive a huge quantity of correspondence daily and are also aware of the considerable press reporting and social media activity. Clearly, some of the reports have been closer to the truth than others.
Before a sale is finalised, there is an immediate requirement to secure the short-term future of the club, to allow players to be signed, issue season tickets for sale and to secure commercial agreements, as well as our best intentions to bring the uncertainty for staff and supporters to an end as soon as possible.
Once the short-term future of the club is secured, the minimum requirements for a bidder to be referred to the EFL for consideration are:
Bidders to submit offers that pay football creditors in full, pay 25p in the £ to other creditors (or 35p in the £ over 3 years) and propose a suitable solution for the club’s ongoing occupation of the stadium.
If such offers are not received, the next possibility is for offers that pay football creditors in full and propose a suitable solution for the club’s ongoing occupation of the stadium. In this scenario, where less than 25p in the £ is paid to other creditors, a 15-point deduction would be imposed for next season (depending on when a sale completes).
If neither 1) nor 2) is met, then it is unclear what position the EFL will take.
In either scenario 1) or 2) the costs of the administration need to be settled. The vast majority of these costs are the ongoing trading losses that the club sustains on a monthly basis and within that the biggest cost by a distance is payroll and associated costs. The options the administrators had to reduce costs were to make widespread redundancies, sell more first team players in the January transfer window and reduce the club’s Category 1 Academy status. It was decided not to do so in order to maintain the club in as strong a position as possible for a buyer and to give the first the team the best possible chance of avoiding relegation. It has been to date, and remains, extremely challenging managing cash flow each month in what remains a heavily loss-making business. Contrary to speculation Quantuma has not drawn any fees to date. The basis of drawing fees is set out in the joint administrators’ proposals report that was issued in November. It has not changed since, although considerable time costs have been incurred which will not be fully recovered. It is not in Quantuma’s interests financially, to allow the administration to become unnecessarily protracted nor for the companies to be placed into liquidation.
We are having extremely positive and productive discussions with interested parties in relation to the short-term requirements and are confident of those discussions leading to a sale thereafter which will secure the club’s long-term future. We do not, however, believe that imposing ‘hard deadlines’ are the answer at this stage. You will recall that we imposed deadlines earlier in the process which were not adhered to by bidders. We were then heavily criticised for extending those deadlines. In reality, no bids were received that were suitable to be recommended to the EFL for approval i.e. none that fell into category 1 or 2 above. Had we not extended the deadlines the alternative would have been to place the club into liquidation at that stage which no fan wants. We agreed with the EFL that we would report to them once we received a bid that satisfied 1) or 2) above, which Chris Kirchner’s bid did. Now that Mr Kirchner’s bid has been withdrawn, we will again report to the EFL upon receipt of a bid that satisfies 1) or 2).
We are bound by confidentiality agreements and so we cannot release the identities of the parties who have come forward, nor can we release any detail in relation to their interest or bids. However, all interested parties know that it is in their interests to be in situ as soon as possible in order for them to put together a competitive playing squad and secure valuable commercial contracts whilst giving staff and fans certainty for the future. The club does not have the luxury of time, and so, even without hard deadlines, the club’s future must be secured very soon.
Further to the EFL’s statement last week we fully understand their need to ensure that Derby County FC can fulfil its fixtures next season for the integrity of the league competition. As confirmed by Trevor Birch we are having daily calls with the EFL to provide updates on progress and that will continue for as long as is necessary and appropriate. As ever, any prospective owner of Derby County FC will be subject to EFL approval and will be required to satisfy the Owners’ and Directors’ Test. Once funding is confirmed for the duration of the season, we will be able to discuss with the EFL the terms of any business plan. Very positive discussions regarding funding and the sale of the club are ongoing.
Kind regards

Gossip says Blackburn.

Rather tell Poland to stuff it and keep him personally. If Bielik is playing well, he should be in the Poland World Cup squad whatever League he’s playing in. 
He’s played in League One before, and hasn’t seemed to be demanding an exit so far. His impact in League One would be worth paying his wages for imo, even if they’re well beyond our normal budget. Would be in my view the best player to ever grace that league, and could get us up single handedly, that’s worth it for me. 
Of course I appreciate none of that will actually happen, and no doubt he’ll be off when he gets offered a chance to play at a higher level whilst we’re down here, but I’d hope we’d do everything in our power to keep him if there’s any slim chance.

I’ve managed to get tickets. So, you know, sucks to be you lot

He got charlton promoted and personally i'd rather have him in the team.
Still seems pointless to me. Unless we're still trying to recoup the fee to arsenal i would get rid immediately if he doesnt want to play for us. Even if does go on loan id expect any bids to be minimal given his record to date.
If he does want to play for us he would be first name on the team sheet every week for me.
No point saving him for our return to the championship since it probably wont happen without players like him in the team.
