I haven’t really seen any pics or videos of her since she was ill. To see her looking so well at the end is brilliant. 

Wait, please tell me we're not questioning Rooney's loyalty now? The bloke has been through more in his year in charge that some will go in their entire career and stood by us when it could quite easily have gone tits up with the academy players leaving him looking hopeless!
Any Championship manager is taking the Everton job, not one of them would turn it down, but for Rooney he has that extra connection being his boyhood club and won't know if this opportunity would ever come around again.
If this was a Birmingham City, I would get the anger but it's more than that, and if you're honest and putting yourself in that position you would do the same.
Of course we all sat here want what's best for this club, right now that is for Rooney to stay, Rooney has to do what is best for his career and family and Cheshire to Everton is an easier commute which = more family time. Let's not forget here the blokes a human, just like us all.
I hate that he's even being asked, we know the answer and it puts him in an awkward position, if he sits there and says I swear on my kids life I'm not going to Everton and reveals a Ram tattoo on his hairy backside, the Everton hierarchy would get the message and leave him be. He would also look a fool saying yes I want the job, Everton may not even be interested and it's just the media, what does that say to the players on the eve of a game with their local rivals whilst the clubs existence is under threat.
I seriously HATE, that has even been brought up, especially today as we don't need any negativity around the players and management. 

Nigel Owen (BAWT) is the man that has been tasked with this, they were on RD last night at 6pm, this was a response to a question on the fundraising.

That is dodgy. The whole of Middlesbrough isn’t worth more than 86p. 

Nice work, @Ghost of Clough

Not the number of months we've been under embargo over the past 4 years (which is almost 30 months), but the number of months since our U18s won the 18/19 League title, after beating an Arsenal side featuring Bakary Saka 5-2 in the Final. The young Rams also finished 8 points ahead of a Manchester United side which contained Mason Greenwood.
 
From that squad, 11 have played for our first team making a combined 419 appearances.
Those still with us and are in and around the first team:
McDonald - 8 first team apps.
JBrown - 4 first team apps.
Cashin - 3 first team apps.
Buchanan - Still only 20 but has already played 60 times.
Bird - With him making 97 appearances for the Rams, he'll be hoping to make his 100th app for the club in Feb
Thompson - Missed just 12 minutes of football since coming into the side against Bournemouth, the first of his 11 appearances.
Knight - An almost ever present in the first team since the start of the following season. He has already made 100 apps and scored 11 in the process.
Sibley - Still only 20 but has 7 goals and 4 assists in his 65 first team apps.
Festy - Already a fan favourite after 23 appearances.
Stretton - Limited to just 15 appearances given his injury troubles.
Some are still with us but are yet to play for the first team:
Dixon - Named on bench twice.
Wilson - Named on bench twice.
Matthews - yet to feature in a matchday squad.
Notable players who have since departed the club:
Whittaker - 32 appearances for Derby before moving on to Swansea where he scored 5 in 22 apps. He's currently on loan at Lincoln City where he has scored 1 in 3.
Delap - Left the club in summer 2019 for Man City, he has played for their first team on 3 occasions scoring once.
And the handful of others who have left:
Charles - Joined Mansfield and played twice, who loaned him out to York City where he made 4 apps
Archie Brown - Move to Switzerland in the summer just gone to play for Lausanne-Sport. Has made 2 apps, and a further 2 out on loan.

I've emailed Rick about this but he hasn't got back to me yet.

I'm convinced Gibson is relying on a settlement from us to avoid FFP himself, oh the irony. 
?

What's this Nixon thing that the EFL are holding TV money back from us because of an overdue transfer payment. Is this what the house of commons would call pragmatism.

Andrew Bridgen went a long way towards saving my sanity (and perhaps more) a decade or more ago.
I had had swine flu, and was seriously incapacitated. I couldn't walk upstairs, was sleeping on a mattress in the lounge, could only walk about 10 yards with two sticks without stopping because of the most excruciating pain, was waiting for two separate operations and couldn't have either until I had been clear of thrombosis for 6 months (I was being weaned off anticoagulants).
The ATOS 'doctor' had reported back to DWP that I could walk unaided for 100 yards and that I was fit to return to work, so they stopped my disability benefits (unbeknown to them, I had recorded the entire interview with ATOS and was therefore in a position to compare what was said to what was reported).
I appealed the decision, and the appeal was rejected.
I forwarded all the details on to Andrew Bridgen, including a full transcript of my (highly illegal) recording of the ATOS process. He sent two of his parliamentary aides to my home, visited my GP and told me that he would take up my case. Within two weeks, the DWP had reversed their decision, I got my payments reinstated, including for the weeks they had stopped them.
I will still never vote for him though (OK, I did once, but only because there was a kipper standing as well).

Love that shirt , even without the EFL message 

You make it and I'll buy it. Does it have Gibson a **** on the back of the collar? Asking for a friend.

To my knowledge this is the first time isn’t it that two member clubs have sought compensation for FFP/P&S abuses from another member club? If the claims do proceed to compensation being awarded, and/or ultimately bringing our Club to a close, then a very big precedent has been established. This seems like a watershed moment. You would think that there should be an extraordinary general meeting called in which all 72 member clubs are briefed as to the position, and a vote should be taken as to whether the membership are supportive of such actions being taken. They all should be aware that they might be next in the money merry-go-round, and that once the compensation box is open that each season thereafter multiple claims are likely to arise. I think that would focus a few minds if it was put to an extraordinary membership vote.

I know. First I have to like Andrew Bridgen, now this!?

I am tempted to break the habit of a lifetime and share a Daily Mail article about a bit! Absolutely nail on the head analysis of the venal money-grubbing idiocy of the clubs involved and the spineless incompetence of our governing body. Hopefully Gibson and Couhig will be moved to release more “But I’m a good person” statements in the coming days as more people come to see that they are vampires actively killing our club. 

This is an incredible article, one that has taken some actual research to look into, my favourite piece is this.....
Interestingly, if League One was curtailed now and PPG enforced, Wycombe, who are top, would be overtaken by second-placed Wigan and fourth-placed Rotherham and demoted to the play-offs. Fascinating to hear their thoughts if that happened.
 

If nothing else, more people are finally starting to wake up to the EFL's behaviour in the last few years. A regulator can't come quick enough; let's hope that there's a hard rain coming their way

Two firsts in one week... first James Daly MP as a Tory, now a Daily Mail reporter I respect. Surely two of the signs of the apocalypse ? 

I just seen rich riley is going to give us the 7m so we can finish the season I so hope this is true which will give us the funds so we can finnish the season I so hope appley get us now with his one of investors willing give us the funds please please please be true.

MARTIN SAMUEL: Derby are on the brink of extinction and had 21 points deducted - isn’t that enough now? Middlesbrough and Wycombe lawsuits are based on playing fantasy football.

I know what you mean, but history will not remember Rooney's occasional human frailties, he will be read about in years to come how we now read about Bloomer, Matthews, Finney, Moore, Charlton, Shankly, Clough etc.
