He’s a nightmare and who’d envy q having to handle him. The worst thing is, his bid (if it exists) probably assumes they take a cold bath on fees, leaving q subsidising the uplift to UCs . And q know he’ll drop his suit if he gets us.
One thing you can say about Ashley is, you’d rather have him on your side
Would rather have Laura Ashley, at least you'd know the kit would be good.

Gossip alert
there’s a bit of gossip. Potentially mischief making, but amusing nonetheless.
Mike Ashley has submitted a bid equal to 37p in the pound on the basis that rival bidders have to match or better this, otherwise Quantuma are legally obliged to accept it.
Playing games as he seems to have done throughout, using his media "friends" to stir things up.

Which would still give us a hefty budget in league one
No one knows what the budget will be.

If we are starting -15, that might explain Rooney's decision and statement comments
If we are paying 25p in the pound we don't get a 15 point deduction but we still have to work to a business plan imposed by the EFL.

That was when Morris was trying to sell the club, not in an administration scenario. Why would Clowes want a "silent partner" who clearly doesn't want to invest any more money into the club?
I think some folk might have the bogie man stuck in their heads.
I don't think he wants to relinquish all ties to the club.

I have found strange that no Derby players have posted on social media thanking Wayne and wishing him good luck
They might be doing the same, following Rooney out of the door. Don't think Davies will stick around. He has already said he sees his future as a pundit and not coaching/management. One last decent season at Hull perhaps and retire on a high.

Well at this point we would be stupid not to ask Dyche if he wanted the job before we even look at the others available- I can’t imagine he would fancy it but who knows
Dyche will be back in the Premier League soon, a couple of months into the season, a team not doing as well as expected resulting in a change of manager.

Would be very happy with Rosenoir taking over. Cheaper option, great coach and knows the EFL leagues.
Im gutted he’s gone - I think most players will now go, but I’m also annoyed because we appear to have allowed the resignation and thus, no compo when he goes somewhere else.
No one knows what was written into his contract??

If the sponsorship has been pulled then we should be seeking compo from Rooney.
How do you know that 32RED didn't have a get out clause in the event of relegation?

How does Morris remain a sleeping partner, in your hypothesis?
As a silent minority backer, as he said in the programme with Samuelson.

Think it’s a bit presumptuous to be viewing Crystal Palace as having some sort of altruistic aim to help Derby County survive. They’re not a charity, they won’t be doing this purely out of the goodness of their hearts. I strongly suspect there is a benefit for them in doing this, as they’ll probably pay a smaller fee than they would if it went to tribunal. Of course, having the fee immediately does help us keep going (though it appears Clowes has funding covered now anyway), but let’s not forget they’re getting one of our brightest young talents for 2/3rds of f*** all. That’s our (well, Mel Morris’) fault of course, and I don’t blame them for taking this opportunity up at all, but let’s not pretend they’re our heroes. As any club would do, they’ve acted as the vultures on the corpse of Derby County.
A bit like we did then to Wigan, what goes around comes around.

Good luck Malcolm, I really hope you’re back here on loan next season.
If he goes out on loan do you think he will drop down to League 1, there will be some Championship clubs willing to take him.

Just off a long drive and see the latest news. Got to try and remember that today has been a good day on the whole for Derby County FC.
Still, the timing just seems so off for Wayne to leave now. Doesn’t seem ti make sense, especially with the rumours of him turning down a Chanpionship teams approach recently?!?Because at that time Kirchner was still on to get the club, he hasn't, so Rooney goes. Can't see any other reason

Under the radar could mean mid table League 1 and becoming a stale lower league club though.
Probably what we need for a couple of seasons, regroup and resurface.

My concern is how many of the players hanging on as long as they can for new contracts to be offered will now say to heck with this I am off. Maybe they have some loyalty to Rosenoir, but maybe not as he seemed happy to toddle off to Blackpool, so who knows but no idea what our line up will look like vs Oxford!?
Good job it's a Saturday and not a midweek night game.

I wonder if Chris Kirchner is buying an MLS club and Wayne, Cook and his agent are upping sticks to follow CK. All seems to have been hooked around the CK deal. Might be 2 + 2 = 10000000 just a thought.
There has to be another option on the table, why else resign or request to be relieved of his duties with immediate effect.
Don't forget Tom Lawrence as captain.

Hopefully he is going to a club with some decent youngsters that need a seasons loan in league 1.
We thought that when Lampard went to Chelsea.

He can't just bail though. He's be in breach of contract unless the new owner AGREES to him being released from his contractual obligations.
Just think if he quits then a few weeks later gets another managers job, we'd miss out on the compensation. It doesn't work like that apart from in Rooney's head.
Don't think it will be a worry if he has to pay his contract up.

Give it Rosenior if he's staying, get Davies on a player coach deal.
Would agree whole heartedly with that if it had been a "normal" relegation but i think at this time we need an experienced manager who can stabilise the club on the pitch

Can’t say I begrudge him, it’s the timing that doesn’t add up
Still think he was going to be a silent backer if Kirchner got the club and develop the club his own way, as soon as a new bidder who seems certain to get the club puts that idea at an end. Kirchner seemed to have way been given way too much time to get the deal over the line.

Knew Morris would have to have some sort of input, he just won't go away will he
Didn't he say that in the programme with Samuelson, he wanted to retain a shareholding in the club and could do so by becoming an unnamed backer as minority shareholders don't have to be named.

MA hasn’t bid. Admins won’t talk to him still. Have this on decent authority. But he’s the only one to actually show he has the cash ready.
He has only reported by his friends in the media that he has the cash ready ,if he has why not go public and make the claim from the horses mouth.

Doesn't matter what our revenue will be, we will still have to work to a business plan with the EFL which will no doubt put a ceiling on transfers and wages offered. The EFL will not allow the club to go offering massive transfers or contracts when creditors have only been offered 25%.
