A new day Lads and Lasses. We are still here, in more than one sense. 
Just remember we are Derby County and WFTTE.

Its just a bit rich EFL throwing their toys out of the pram by issuing a hissy fit statement at 4.17 pm .. when the deadline is not til tomorrow. The same EFL who have issued statments at 10pm whne they thought it suited them, but actually just made them look ridiculous.

Mike Ashley will only buy businesses for a pittance and then run it on a shoestring to make a profit. DCFC can’t be bought for nothing and it’s very difficult to make a profit. I don’t consider him a serious solution for our predicament.

After spending so much money and time building Russia as a more “western friendly” nation and covertly trying to destabilise the US, UK and by proxy Europe.
I’m absolutely amazed that Putin has thrown all that away in four days and chosen this hill to die on!
After the suffering of Ukrainians the average Russian in the street will be the next to suffer.
I see the cultural reasonings and western imperialistic hypocrisy………..however what’s not been mentioned is that Ukraine holds the second largest gas reserves in Europe, I’m sure securing that away from Europe was a significant factor.
So he now has pushed envelope and this morning has Ukraine asking for immediate EU membership. The exact opposite of what he wanted and this has huge ramifications if granted.
I suppose the upside is then can just add “raine” to all the UK’s old stuff for a quick turnaround!
 

For me the trick is being lucky enough to be with someone who I have a proper laugh with , I play too much golf but don’t do pubs and boys night out stuff so it kind of balances and the wife gets a bit of peace to get a lie in Saturday and Sunday mornings while I’m on the golf course , back in plenty of time to spend the rest of the day together walking the dogs or whatever ,
if I was ever single again for any unlucky reason I would stay that way though as I’m sure I could never find what I have now or even want to try 

This is not a Pop against Wives, There's good, Bad and indifferent from both Husbands and Wives, My Father was a very quiet man, Always kept himself to himself, Never drank but loved his Park Drive and sweets, Mum on the other hand was the vocal of the 2, A tough old bird from Vienna.
I was married for 45 years, 39 years together, It took me a year to get the hang of what wives do, Cooking, Laundry, Putting the quilt in the quilt cover, I'm a master of that art now, I don't peg washing out, That's what a tumble drier is for.
Do I miss not being Married...not on your life, I've chisled a life out for myself that I wouldn't swap for all the roubles in Russia?, Had 4 Lady friends, All of them lovely Women in their own right, But my life is better served being single, Not even arsed about the mating game, I'd sooner have a cheese sandwich.
Enjoy what you have people, Whether married or single life is for living and enjoying.
As Spok would say...Ay up me duck...live long and prosper ?
 
Just a little caveat here, I spent Saturday in Belper watching Belper town lose 1-2 to Spalding, Had a few beers in the Devonshire, And a few in the Belper clubhouse, A great afternoon was had, My old buddy who lives in Crich who I was with, Had to bail at 5-30pm as his Wife was picking him up, I stayed and made my way home by train and had a couple more beers...yes life is Good ?

In my case my husband can do what he wants while i'm at football.??

and to top it all I’m recovering from a hernia op on Saturday so bugger all to do but check iPad for updates and swallow pain killers, mind you b4 it s times like this a good wife or partner are a blessing ??‍♂️

Now your posts make sense all of a sudden…

But everything is my fault. And I don't mind being hen pecked so long as I get rooster pecked as well.

Do you seriously expect a blow by blow account of what happens in the timeline ?  Social media and all the expectstions it brings has a lot to answer for. I belong to a generstion that got ghd news after it was all sorted. How can yoh possibly say that Q have been doing nothing , why would they publicise what they were doing to all and sundry ?  What right do we have to know exactly what is happening minute by minute in transactions we are not part of .....thats not how it works .

Nor me. Why spend £2.5m a year on rent to an external party (to cover MSD interest of 10%), when he can easily buy the stadium himself and rent it to the club, or loan the money to the club to buy the stadium and charge 10% interest himself.

Not when you can leave a note saying " out for a pint with the lads,  back in a hour. If I'm not back in a hour, read this note again"

Tbh I think there are bigger problems in the world right now.

Admins job is to get the best deal for creditors. So if they end up with a 15 point penalty they will have failed to get even 25  in the £1 for unsecured , which would mean they haven't really done a great job . But I don't think that will happen, I think this is just EFL sabre rattling through the tacky media.  

At the end of the day the administrators job is to sell the club as a going concern. They are under no obligation to either
1) follow EFL rules on exit of administration
2) ensure no further EFL penalties 
3) consider the fans desires
 
they do however need to
1) ensure the club can operate in the future
2) make agreements to creditors that mean it can operate in the future
In short Q will create a plan to exit administration according to law and the buyers wishes and then put it through the EFL for rubber stamping and transfer of the golden share.
 
personally I’d rather Q get us out of admin by hook or by crook and go from whatever position we end up in.
Vendetta by the EFL - I don’t  buy into this theory. Yes some actions seem harsh but let’s not forget it serious mismanagement of the club over a number of years that has led to this situation. The fact that experts were touting liquidation and now we have a possible escape route shows how much work has been done by Q. 
 

We are as a club entering our death throes. I've said all along Liquidation is coming over the horizon. Ships about to port guys.

We went to a side in great form, a great home record, pushing for the play offs and gave them a good game. Not bad for a team full of old players and academy players. Let’s keep some perspective.

I'd still like to see Sibley supporting ckr,they could have been a proper partnership and it's a set up that would have supported him better.
 

Its far from over. We are exactly the same as we were before kick off. The only team that matters is the 4th bottom team. Reading have shown that they aren't all that. They were fortunate to beat Birmingham and they were comfortably beaten by Blackpool today. Of course have to improve our away form but the opportunity to do that is there against Cardiff. COYR.

We are fighting,that's all we can ask with our limited resources??

WE'll be OK, February is almost over.

Morning Rams, A Hatter in peace here. First of all, may I say how the majority of you have handled the points deduction has been great to see. I can assure you that us Hatters know what it's like to have been screwed over by the EFL and the FA. I must admit I'm a bit concerned today that our run will come to an end and you will grab the three points. Great to see Curtis Davies is still so loved at Derby. He was an exceptional young player when he was with us and im Glad he continues to do well. All the best in your fight against the so called authorities and with the exception of today all the best for the season.
