I'm hardly traditionalist or conservative, but a footballing romantic? Oh yes, very much so.
Romantic in me would like ball to look like this:

and it should be kicked with black boots looking like these 

Black 'n' white. Works a treat.

Should play with these, toughen the players up again. Take one of these to the face, or the thigh on a cold December afternoon and you know about it. None of this padded, aerodynamic nonsense. Players these days don’t know they’re born.

Christ,people moaning already about a rumour about a rumour about someone we don't know organising a group of other people we don't know.
 

Championship to Champions League in a couple of seasons.
He also comes across as a decent lad, went from Lampard’s pet receiving all kinds of abuse, never gave anything back, just got his head down and played.
Chelsea player of the season and Champions League winner. So happy for him. 

I really don't know what you can expect the club to say about ongoing takeover discussions. If you're specifically referring to the two failed takeovers, what could they say in public? We're having huge doubts about the prospective buyers, they seem like tyre kickers or even complete tools? They've announced prospective deals, and announced when they've fallen through. That's at least sufficient for me. Then again, I am a happy clapper.

It’s never really been public like the previous two ‘takeovers’, and to be honest, I think that’s probably a good sign.
Let things get sorted privately been respectful businessmen, no hype seeking social media posts from potential owners, no drama, just getting down to business.
Well, that’s what I’m hoping is happening behind the scenes.

Who?

Watford's seen the result ?
For context: When Bournemouth played Watford earlier this season, Jefferson Lerma was a right sod the entire game, diving, picking fights, etc. Bournemouth won and he posted that Emoji after the game to mock Watford fans complaining about his antics. Seems Watford haven't forgotten it.

A fair and balanced statement which I can predict with a fair amount of certainty will not be good enough for some......

It had good momentum initially but my sources say it's been slowly Stalin in recent weeks

Putin's red rams. Strong online presence. Convincing EFL not seen as a problem. 
Bolstering defence as we speak. 
Can't say more. 

I don't no

Came out to do or say what? A song and dance routine? Hamlet's soliloquy? (alas poor Bloomer, I knew him well.)
You've been asked several times now, what specifically do you want them to say? or what would you have us supporters do?

We can't even get along as football fans of the same bloomin club!
What chance have we got?
Fortunately I was brought up on singing songs and chants that supported the club I love and then singing songs that disrespected the club we were trying to beat.
And I know football forums are all about fans being entitled to their own opininions, but just look at how far the goal posts have been moved within the game.
The biggest thing I loved about going to the Baseball Ground was the crowd, the wonderful atmosphere of getting behind Derby County Football Club and tearing into the Leeds, Chelsea fans and all the rest...................why did it go all horribly wrong???????
Why do some of our fans choose to get off on, winding our own fans up..........why oh why????????
I'm out of here, I'd rather watch dull Sunday night telly than read our own fans bickering with one another.
Where is your dignity, respect, appreciation, honour, loyalty for your fellow fan of the same football club you all love?
D.C.F.C. Love, Life & Unity.
Very sad indeed............a bloody disgrace!

Made a lot of money for breast cancer charity mate. That’s a good thing.

I guess I would have to start watching Mickleover, but I don't know if I could be arsed, even though it's only a 15 minute walk to the ground.
I've already pretty much stopped watching any football that doesn't have some impact on / link to Derby so I expect there's every chance I could stop watching it altogether.

Beat me to finding/posting the tweet by about 20 seconds!
Some fans really seem to enjoy sticking the boot in to their own club. Things are bad enough without doing that.

Very much so.

When are the club going to start selling season tickets? I need to get mine renewed before the glory hunters turn up.

So was my cat - and I haven't even got one.

with our strike rate we would miss from a mile out and disappear into a black (and white) hole

I think the phrase is "If a tree falls in a Forest, and no one is around to hear it, will it still remind everyone that they won back-to-back European Cups in the late 1970s" 

To be fair, it's well known that we're in a financial hole and also that Mel has had health issues and wants to get out asap. That will attract every chancer going - some more believable than others. Perhaps sitting back and waiting for concrete news that the takeover has been concluded might make more sense than taking part in the stream of hand-wringing, bed wetting and general attacks on Mel and each other that this board has been flooded by lately.....

Or even a choux-in

The pitch was fine at the beginning and the end of the season - shame we lost most of those games.
When the pitch was shocking, we beat Swansea, Bournemouth, Bristol City, Boro & Huddersfield on it.
Maybe the EFL will investigate whether we gained an advantage ?
