Do you know if Owen is still employed by the club David? 
Hope he's ok if not. His work was one of the few things ive enjoyed about Derby in recent months

Thanks @RoyMac5 , just found it. Absolutely shocking.

There's the Sky interview with Rooney where he says when it was he found out. Search Twitter for @footballdaily .

Shocking.

Well I’d like to thank Rooney for turning up if that is the case. He’s a better man than me, I’d have been like F U Morris if you haven’t got the good grace to inform me about such a monumental decision. Morris seems to be a piece of work for sure.

He clearly has no regard for the manager or the players. That he couldn’t look them in the eye tells you everything you need to know about Melvyn Morris. He should never be let near the stadium again.

What a complete & utter duck up of a club if that’s the case ???

@Owen87ITK you was right, it isn't your place to apologise, but ??

What a complete & utter duck up of a club if that’s the case ???

Different tactics tonight Mathew we’re going to be Derby COYR 

I’m not normally into name calling but if any fans are stupid enough to vent their anger at either the players or Rooney then they are complete morons who should be about as welcome at PP as Mel is at the moment (until his cunning plan is revealed ?).

I think we should have a complete change and go back to Pink for the home strip

I’m hoping sheer professionalism, natural guts and pride will fire them up. We need to do our bit to make it happen 

You can’t sing that or protest or new owners won’t buy us and Mel will put us into admin……………oh errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I cant today either, on child cere duty truth be told i want to go today more than any game before 
 I want to show the players were with them, i want to shout, i want to sing,  i want to show my support, i want to feel emotional 
its all just so ducked up

Nailed it mate .. til the end 

When the players came out for the first game this season I had a tear in my eye. It was good to be back. I’m sure there will be heightened emotion today too.
I’m up for it.

It’s actually really simple isn’t it? Support your club or not. I know that those who go today will be amazing, regardless of how we have been run. 
At the moment we have a club to support so let’s make the most of it and support them. 

If he believes he is innocent and that he's still welcome then he's even more deluded than we think.

Not sure.
Let's say a potential owner is a major shareholder at say a betting company, in the summer they replace 32Red with their company.
They now have Wayne Rooney walking around with their company name on his chest.
Or Asia, a Chinese owner comes in, takes the club on tour over their in the summer parading their Wayne Rooney around, swapping Man Utd shirts for Derby.
Now he's sold his image rights company, he is an asset. 
Not suggesting we take whatever results and performances that come as we have the Rooney asset, but just not sure it counts for nothing.
Having big names at your club makes it easier to market and make money. I mean look at 32Red, they paid us extra as we signed Rooney, wore the number 32.
It's a business remember.

One of these is a real football fan, the other is a wally, to put it politely. 

Emotions will be running high today, Stoke fans will be mocking us mercifully.  Let’s hope today, win or lose, can end without trouble.

Needless to say, today's game is huge.
If we lose, we lose, but we need to see the players leave everything on the pitch, IF they do that, as Wigan did, dare I say we stand a chance of surviving, albeit a slim chance.
Now if they walk out, heads down looking defeated then it's finished, we're down without a fight and I fear Rooney will walk despite showing incredible loyalty so far. 
The players need to step up for him, if not for us, and we, as fans, love him or hate him need to give him all the backing we can starting from today. 
We do not want to be on the lookout for a new manager whilst in administration, a squad full of kids.
-12 is a given, we know that's coming as it's been confirmed, however if the EFL write off all the other potential punishment as they did with Swindon due to new ownership, we may be in a position to bring in some new faces in January.
Let's be honest, the EFL are not out to punish us, the fans, the club itself. Their crosshairs are lined squarely on Mel's forehead. If he's out the picture, they may lower their weapons.
Understand this is all very optimistic given what has happened, the odds are not stacked in our favour, however I can't sit here and demand the players do not walk on to the pitch today already defeated whilst having that attitude myself.
If there ever was a time for siege mentality, this is it. 

Yeah, sorry about that. The cashpoint wasn't working.

I guess where I’m at this morning is sad but waiting for more news. 
We have to see the impact of administration and whether someone comes in for us. I feel sorry for those who will be affected most, I.e. the staff, the players and the most vulnerable of our supporters. But also the businesses that will be negatively impacted by our incompetence. 
The saddest thing for me is the image of Derby County football club will be forever tarnished by this whole fiasco.
 I hope the players will continue to play with the passion they have shown, starting today.
