I think the sellable 'old guard' will be first to go... obviously Shinnie has gone already. Wouldn't be surprised to see one of Byrne/Fozzy/Lawrence go next and fingers crossed we can get a combined couple of million there before having to sell youngsters as a last resort come the end of the month... it's all very sad ?

Whilst I appreciate it will be likely treated with contempt - I have sent the following email to Mr Parry and Mr Birch - it will get us no further forward I’m sure - but at least I’ve got it off my chest!!!  And now I can get behind the team this afternoon.
See you at 3pm COYR!!! ?
 
“Like many other Derby County fans - I gravely concerned by the current situation threatening my football club and I hope you are able to provide some clarity.  In a statement issued by our Administrators they state: 
“The difficulty and currently, in our view, the last remaining significant obstacle is to deal with certain claims that are very much disputed but which we are being advised by the EFL cannot be currently compromised notwithstanding statute says otherwise.” 
It is this paragraph which concerns me most. In essence it appears that the EFL Board is overriding statutory law in order to punish Derby County beyond what is fair and reasonable. I’d therefore like to ask the following:
1. Is the statement made by the administrator’s of Derby County FC factually correct? 
2. If so, can you confirm which body within the EFL has reached this conclusion?
3. Can you provide confirmation that this body has full independence in so far as any member of the Board or its nominated sub-committee which maybe presiding over this matter is not conflicted by way of ownership / interest / contract / membership of or to any of the parties bringing claims against Derby County?
4. Can you share the specific articles of law or other legally binding agreement that are being relied upon to override what might be considered statute. 
5. Please provide evidence of how the EFL is acting impartially and has applied lessons learned from the sad demise of Bury FC in the handling of this particular matter. 
6. Please provide evidence of how the EFL is working to protect the interest of the thousands of innocent football fans affected by this ongoing punishment of Derby County Football Club. 
On this point, it should be made clear that Derby County is more than a name, more than a pawn in an egotistical, power play - it’s an important part of many peoples lives - it does a huge amount to support the community it serves. The majority of these fans are victims and are angered and frustrated at the prior owners handling of matters. 
So my final ask, is please do not let the actions of the privileged few be an incentive to punish thousands of innocent victims. The mental anguish you are causing the thousands of people now needs to stop. You have a duty of care which extends beyond your fiduciary duty to the member clubs.
Many thanks for taking the time to read this note.”

Brilliant ?

As we’ve gone massively off topic, I may as well wade in. Blagreaves Lane was originally Black Graves after plague burials though I had always thought that Deadman’s Lane and Blagreaves Lane came about from the 1665 plague

Wow you’re really taking the high ground. Telling someone to get out more and learn about life, the world and everything in it. Well I agree totally with DCFC27. And you can’t accuse me of being short sighted. I worked for 30 years on British aid projects abroad mainly in developing countries, from the Caribbean, to Africa, the Middle East, India and Malaysia. Oh and Kazakhstan. I’ve experienced different customs, food, heat, ways of thinking. I’ve been arrested, I had to flee rebels in Sierra Leone, caught Malaria. So I’ve, to quote you, learnt more about life, the world and everything in it that I suspect you have. So try to not be so condescending to a fan who just wants the best for his team. OK, rant over, back to my beer.

Note that it is called Pride Park because it came about through a government project i worked on for a time in the 1990s called City Pride where councils could apply for funding to develop derelict areas. Derby’s application was successful, along with several others. Nothing to do with a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction, which I am getting now. No not that, the idea of Ashley taking over. Great news.

I applaud your morals @IslandExile, but football doesn’t have any moral standards, would you see players gobbing and verbally assaulting the umpire in Cricket, or any other sport. We need an owner with the financial means to rebuild the club, that’s the bottom line.
