Dean (hick) Saunders

So strange - the WBA one was probably the worst set of players we had out of all five - I was at them all and the WBA one I never felt that we were going to lose 

I really really hope we win this one another strong crowd around 27k to 28k I think so far. Lets get pp rocking Derby players need every single one of us right behind the team. 
I would be tempted to play festy and luke plang upfront togather and Lawrence sitting behind them to ready slip balls through to them and play belaike in midfield with max bird and marrison due lack of opapions in the team no thanks to efl and that idout banker gibson.
So come on Derby fans let's have everyone on there feet and getting behind the lads. Everyone buy food on the ground and drink in the ground the club need every single last penny it can get right now.
Do I think mel be at the ground possible I would love it if came on the pitch and says sorry to us the fans and him to clear out debts that he left the club with and come out with priffired bidder with him.

Great to have @B4ev6ison the matchday thread, leading us on (and thanks to @angieram).
One of the many problems of this season is that every single match feels like a cup final. That's what happens when you have 21 points deducted, and your players stripped away from you, and when every match might be your last. 
I do feel we *need* to get back to winning ways if we're to hold everything together and maintain our slim chance of staying up, which naturally also makes us more attractive to potential buyers. Come on you Rams!

d) The Anglo Italian Final Defeat.
Feel any better?

So.. What’s more depressing than the (no) takeover. 
 
NOT A 4King POLL.
a) The Leicester Play Off Final Defeat.
b) The QPR Play Off Final Defeat.
c) The Villa Playoff Final Defeat.
God I’m depressed now…..
 

You must be new around here ?
 
Odd isn't it? I'll always follow my beloved Rams but I don't even watch the Premier League games anymore. I don't much bother with the CL either save for the final stages and even then, only if there's domestic interest. I remember religiously watching MOTD as a kid, even when Derby weren't involved. Not watched it years, though I do, I confess have other 'hobbies' these days. TBH, if this is the end of Derby County, and FWIW, I'm certain it's not, I'd walk away from the game and never give it a moment's thought.

Happy big ones…

I would suggest finding somewhere inconspicuous  next time you get your phone out, then punching him in the face to save you the bother of trying to train a silverback to make fire.

Bin   Mr P and the kk klan from Bristol never known a bitter and twisted set of individuals in my 67 years,

Just a suggestion for the EFL rather than keep moving the goalposts, as confirmed by tweets for current dcfc employees, if Gibson does not take up MMs offer what about charging Middlesbrough of bringing the game into disrepute by bringing baseless charges against a league founding member. Either he takes MMs offer up or he is making it up and causing unfounded mental anguish on dcfc staff and fans 

if we dont laugh then we cry so ye it is a joke.....

It’s not a joke,  Get a grip.

BAWT didn't actually post the screenshot themselves, had they had done I would have trusted it 100%.
And whilst I thought they would have verified before tweeting, I just wanted that added confirmation to add and hopefully allow you all to enjoy your evenings.
There is a lot of discussion even this morning on if it's even possible, worth noting that Rick Parry hasn't instantly ruled it out unlike some fans.
That would suggest to me it's not that clear cut and could be possible.
The initial reaction appears to be the EFL are on board with this, if Gibson and Couhig refuse then it will be interesting to see how it develops.
They have called for pragmatic solutions, yet according to Mel's statement Wycombe have yet to even file a claim and all Boro have done is call for talks and reportedly lowered their asking price whilst also, according to Mel's statement, unavailable for arbitration until May.
This could be the turning point, the EFL have an easy escape route if they wish to take it, and so far, it's looking positive.

If you’ve been to Tenerife he’s been to elevenerife 

Parry might actually go and read the Boro claim now.
He tried opening the WW folder earlier but was confused when there were no files in it.

Well, here is my take on this MM open letter. I believe he was waiting for the transfer deadline to finish to see if MFC/WW would acquiesce and drop the claims (only one at the moment, MFC). However, as we know they didn’t and it ramped up a little with the EFL, MFC and WW starting to feel the pressure to make statements against a tide of increasing questioning from various quarters, MPs, Parliament etc. These statements show they are all a little rattled, errors have crept in, inaccuracies, lies and partial information, information to maintain the ignorance of their supporters. This is what the main DCFC camp had been waiting for. MM has now been able to answer their errors in the public domain, as that is where they now are.
As much as we wanted the administrators to keep us up to date, we also needed them to keep quiet so as not to compromise themselves in the same way the 3 stooges have done in the last 3-4 days. Unfortunately they do need to keep the club going and sadly players sales are needed, this will give time for the club to now start working with the Bidders as they will shortly know Gibsons and the EFL’s true intentions. If they stick together it is a vendetta against the club, with no sound foundations, if they go to court it will cost them a fortune. 
In either event, if MFC lose I think we have a great chance of counter claiming for unnecessary litigation, wasting time, deliberately further harming the reputation of Derby and trying to reduce our ability to perform on the pitch. Perhaps we should call them the cheats as they have used an unfair advantage against us.
End of transmission. 

I agree and on that basis isnt court the only option for Q. If the club is liquidated all creditors loose. Go to court, win against some dodgy claims and the path is clear for bidder(s). Do it and and do it quick.
At the moment Boro and Wycombe are playing a waiting game which costs them zilch and could bring rich rewards. When we say see you in court, it's a very different game.

Why can’t they for king get on with it. I’m in trouble with the RSPCA for the amount of times I’ve tried to kick the cat..

I don’t believe there is a need for a campaign.
- The administrators will not want to settle for a penny with either Boro or Wycombe.
- Gibson and Couhig will not drop their claims.
- The EFL have clearly stated their position now.
- Not a chance getting the admin, Mel, MSD, Gibson, Couhig and the EFL into the room would persuade any of the above to change.
The only option now, is to take the football creditor status to the high court, or the claim itself through arbitration.
Positive Quantuma will be aware of this now and cannot delay in getting the ball rolling.

Either we do stay up or we don’t. Strangely it’s what happens on the pitch is not as important and what happens off it. Which in itself is a sad commentary on the state of football in this country.
This team could lose every game til the end of the season and I’d still give them a standing ovation at the last game v Cardiff.
They have given us a rallying point and we’ve seen a man come to fore who absolutely gets it.
We may have come through the transfer window with most of our best players remaining but we have lost Jags and Shinnie which is telling.
It’s going to be so difficult to stay up but I just hope to god that we even have a team there to be relegated in May.

Barnsley Peterborough and Reading have won two games between them in their last 10 matches.
Two wins in 30 games.
Theres no reason to think that will change drastically.
