I know we're all getting excited, maybe a little giddy even, but there's no need to cross the line and start being silly, now is there?

Now steady on…

I was really low last night I was talking my mum I would destroyed if derby goes.

Why does it matter what club I support when I'm pissing on your chips with the best of intentions?

Too soon?
Ah, sod it. It's now or never.

Come be postive
Look we could final be taken over please please
We all need this

How have we gone from 'nothing close' to 'final strokes' 
It all seems very premature... 

Too soon?
Ah, sod it. It's now or never.

Holy fook!!! I just saw the headline, then Porno Paul sat next to Appleby and nearly kekked my pants.

"Andy Appleby says his bid for Derby County is in its "final strokes" as he looks to save the club's future and seal a return to the Rams.
The American businessman conducted an interview with Crain's Detroit Business amid plans to expand the United Shore Professional Baseball League. In the piece, printed earlier today (Tuesday), Appleby did not go into full detail over his bid for Derby but told Crains in a six-word update: "It's down to the final strokes."
The publication also said that Appleby was optimistic about his bid and expects to learn the outcome this week."

I’m down, depressed, at an all time low with this whole thing. I’ve reconciled myself that the club will be liquidated!! How dare you give me hope again!! How dare you!!! James Nursey is a banker!! Bore off with these positive stories!!! 
 
??????????????

Surely this means he is effectively preferred bidder? 

And Wayne, Derby and all of us love you ?

Not posted on since the good old days.  But for the first time today I am very worried about my derby county, I have followed them since I came to live here in 1974 and the only engment  I had was through the rams , myself and my late father and brother all derby through and through,  I'm the only one left now 
And if this was taken away from me 
It will finsh me.  So I pray ?
Please please save this great club 

"
Former Derby County chairman Andy Appleby is not in talks with ex-Wolves owner Steve Morgan over a collaboration that would see them join forces over a takeover.
Reports over the weekend suggested the duo were contemplating teaming up to launch a joint bid for the club which has been in administration for the last nine months.
But sources have told Derbyshire Live that is not the case and Appleby is continuing to launch his own pursuit of a deal for the Rams..."

So, it looks like the whole first team squad have returned for pre-season training. Both of them.

I see Nixon is going on about the stadium plus bid again. 
And involving them in paying June's wages as they'd eventually be part of the whole deal.
 
Nixon is exceling himself today in saying lots and saying nothing (trust me on that I'm an expert ? ? )!

So assuming we can get a deal over the line prior to the apocalypse, we will begin next season in League 1. With this in mind, why in God's name are folk suggesting that Lee isn't good enough or superfluous to requirements?
So much for getting behind the players and a united club, fans, players et al. It's not taken some long to revert to sneery cynicism and slagging off anyone whose agent spreads a bit of muck, has it!

I heard it was Colleen and she was waiting to see who posted it on Instagram 

Long standing invitation? No hard feelings, freebie trip and all that?
