    I want to see a deal done for Cole Stockton, league ones top scorers.
    If we are going to be in League one, a striker who is capable of 20 goals a season, will fire us to promotion.
    He's at Morcambe and given their current league position, I really think that Coles a buy, it would require a high wage and I'm fine with that.
    Zero chance our current strikers are doing that.

    Det: Mel Morris made 'heartbreaking' contribution to fan-led review in wake of Derby County administration!
    Mm has nearly put Derby into liquidation, but in looking for something else to blame!
    Honestly, if he hadn't made a number of daft decisions, the club would be a lot less likely to be in this state.

    It's irrelevant. Due to age and finances this won't be our squad.

    Baldock shipped put of this club as fast as possible once a new owner arrives, I'd even offer to pack his bags for him.

    Oldben got a reaction from Ravabeerbelly in Will Derby cash in on Bird and Knight   
    Derby can't afford to be Leeds (past) and spend 3 years in League one, under those circumstances, what new owner would buy Derby with its current debt.
    Also there's no decent money to be made from being in League one that compares with paying off the massive debt, Derby has now.

    Beggars can’t be choosers. We are having to put up with injury prone players like Baldock because of our situation. Can’t expect stop start players to be too effective, especially for a championship team at the bottom.

    If the last couple of years supporting Derby has taught us anything, it is this, whatever you think could happen, times it by 2 and add Ikechi Anya on the end.
    People contemplating the worse possible outcome are just preparing themselves for what is shaping up to be a very legitimate outcome.

    Politician sees easy win in saying "save the local football team" whilst not having any actual power with which to do so.
    Club survives, "it was me" club is liquidated "wouldn't have happened if my side had been in charge"
    Easy game this politics lark.

    Daily mail is stirring up trouble, usual rag newspaper stuff to fill out its pages.
    It's unfair to blame administrators who are qualified in this sort of thing and will not do anything unethical or illegal.
    Potential owners will have been versed on these things.
    Kirchners aware of the club's full financials and still makes the trips to watch games.
    Hes aware that hmrc would put the club onto a repayment plan.
    The only other thing hanging over the club is the legal claims by Wycombe wanderers and Middlesbrough, I believe a good lawyer for Derby can crush those claims plus appealing to the efl as if these cases were won it would set a dangerous precedent.

    It's obvious to me that you don't buy a club for millions in derbys condition without intending to rebuild the team.
    Derby will need a new scouting team.
    It will need to bring in strikers who can score a lot of goals.
    It will need top assist players in the midfield
    The current defence is probably the oldest in the Championship, that doesn't inspire me with confidence for league one.

    I think we need owners with ...
    - ambition to drive the club forward
    - desire to spend to build the team
    - understanding that a director of football can always be hired to assist with the running of the club, someone with the connections to get the right players in to achieve better things with club
    - someone who rebuilds a quality scouting network at Derby
    - someone who doesn't sell off all the youth talent but is willing to invest in the academy and let the youth play in the team
    - someone who fully supports the manager and gives then the back chance of success
    - someone who knows what it takes to build a successful business, even if that's not previously been in football
    - someone who listens to the fans
    - my recollection of Appleby & co, was that they were cautious owners but I believe spending has to take place at Derby if they are to rebuild the team and in my opinion it requires significant spending to rebuild.

    Appleby/rush/moxey blandly led the club before.
    They were able to show a total lack of ambition for the club.
    There footballing links did not work out fantastically before, Derby were not known as the invincibles (reference one of Arsenal's former great teams) under their tenure.

    Oldben got a reaction from Kathcairns in Steve Gibson trying to liquidate Derby   
    The administrators are unlikely to spend serious money on a legal case for this matter, it requires new owners but if the new owners are willing to pay for good lawyers to defend Derby in this business then I'd have to argue its time for the administrators to step aside.
    Sell Derby now.
    What justifiable reason do the administrators have for delaying the sale of the club.
    I think any new owners will have taken legal advice over the club's issues and with regards to boro and Wycombe, the lawyer would advise that this is winnable and that its still worth buying the club.
    Assuming that's the case, let's get on with and defeat boro and wycombes claims in a court of law.
