"Kim Jong-un will not have a formal role at the club".
Derby fan interpretation: FFS Kim Jong-un has an informal role at the club!!!  Moan, panic, whinge, moan, panic, whinge.

I'm a tired middle aged man. I don't have reserves of rage to bring to bear on topics around what might go wrong, or what should have been done. I'm sad that Mel is walking away, sad for us and for him, that the effort in sweat and treasure he's put in to getting us promoted never worked out. Blame him if you want, but few of us could or would have done better. He deserved to sit in the executive box at Old Trafford and The Emirates and watch our team mix it with the best again. I'll always respect him and wish him well.
The new guy is a clean slate, a fresh start. We have a new season over the horizon and if we can just win a couple more games and stay up, positives in the academy and the managers office and hope for the future.
Good luck to him, and I hope the takeover and the relegation battle conclude successfully in this next couple of weeks.
Up the Rams. It's all about the hope.
 
 

I am merely defending Mel when there is to my mind a certain tone from some posters that suggest he has been a bad owner.
considering the nature of this competition, the structure of the industry and what he has tried to do over the last 5 or so years then I dispute that in the strongest terms and will keep doing so. 

The key to scoring more goals is to sign Lee Dale from Carlisle, it’s only a matter of time before we see the headline in the DET,
” When’s Lee Dale going to sign “ ?

Albentosa, apparently he’s decent as long as he remembers his insole ?

My understanding is that you cannot sign a pro contract until you’re 17.  Kaide is 17 in October so will be on an academy contract until then.  Nothing to stop him going if he wants to go and if clubs don’t agree a compensation fee it goes to tribunal.

Just listened to CKR interview on RamsTV.......... I could listen to him all day!  Such an engaging and inspirational speaker and will be as big an influence off the pitch as he is on it.  I know he’s 34 but as he says, “age is just a number” and for me he deserves at least another 12 months contract and probably 2 years.

On commentary last night Owen said that CKR had become a bit of a cult figure around the club and with fans.
 I wouldn’t disagree but it’s not beyond the bounds of possibility that our cult figure will come and go without any (many) of us seeing him play in the flesh. He deserves at least one standing ovation from a full Pride Park.

Was is Chris egan, a young Irish winger signed from Sligo rovers?
