2 directors, DC and an Ian Dickinson.

Interesting that it lists DC as a pilot - hoping he sets us up to fly up the table!

We’re all Totem Newco ain’t we?

Now I understand why Appleby was in the ‘final strokes’

if we're comparing him to recent Derby strikers, he looks most like Jack Marriott to me.  Mobile without being genuinely lightning fast, works hard, a decent finisher (although we maybe haven't seen it often enough), but not great at hold up play, and probably can't really play up front on his own.

What's his handicap though?

In the know or guess work?

The fixture list always has the away games in the colour of our shirt.

You mention Direct Debits.  A good idea in theory, but obviously eliminates the cash flow advantage of season ticket sales.  I would definitely take up such an offer - but funnily enough I think it would be so popular that they would not allow it.  They would have everyone signing up for that deal.

They've done direct debit payments for season tickets for a long time. Not sure if they did it for the previous season.

Looks like the chef on Sunday Kitchen!

Some actual footballing news...

But you have second on several occasions “the biggest football debt in the history of football”. This says otherwise, it says the Championship. Even on that alone, I don’t think that’s true either.

The size of the debt makes it the largest debt on football history in the UK.

We'll reopen it on the extremely slim chance he comes back into the fold. I won't hold my breath.

We’ve got SKY with movies/sports/multi room - the works. Plus Netflix, Disney, Amazon. I’m trying to persuade the Mrs into cancelling SKY as we’re paying north of £140 for all this. Ridiculous. What’s the best alternative? NOW TV was suggested but what are the thoughts in here??

Just haggle. Also cancel and they’ll keep sending you renewal offers up to your cancellation date and beyond that. 

I’m paying £52 for everything (including Cinema, Sport, Ultra HD, Netflix, and 2 additional mini boxes).

If they give you a crap deal, disconnect live chat and try the next person. They’re all at different levels of targets throughout the day so your luck will vary.   

Hope he paid for that Derby County coat

Kirchner was a tyre kicker. Owns a global logistic business but apparently couldn’t transfer what is actually a very small sum of money in the world of international transfers.

Yeah right.

There wasn’t any apparent issue recently when the new American Chelsea owners shipped over their *billions* to buy that club.

As someone who works in logistics, I had very little understanding what his company supposedly did!

Allan Nixon just been on talksport. He's seen the money, Kirchner very wealthy.  The money is with the anti-money laundering police and nothing can be done to speed them up so pointless hassling Kirchner. 

I think a lot of London Ram's frequent the Stage Door for games. @Steve Bloomer's Washingwill know for sure!

My wife has said that I can have one as long as I don’t go to a single away game. 
Still waiting for an answer to the ensuing question: “What will happen if I go to Burton?”

I think she’s just delivered her answer! RIP. 

Just think how Mr Poppadom on the Bristol forum is going to take the news!

He's 3 weeks younger than me but looks 15 years younger and is ripped like a side of beef.

But one flaw of his is he has an extra middle tooth! Once you see it you can't look away.

Not in any way ITK but when he left I got the feeling Rooney wasn't too fussed to see him go, even for such a miserly fee so would be surprised if there's anything in a possible return.

You should watch the latest episode of We Are Derby. Rooney wanted him in the squad.
