    Retro_RAM got a reaction from RAM1966 in Alan Nixon Breaks Silence on American Billionaire Bid   
    I wouldn't be too concerned about the quietness of remaining parties as well as the admin team regarding the preferred bidder, it's called professionalism (however I as well would like to see some movement very soon).
    Let's be honest we wouldn't even know about the Chris "Like, Share & Subscribe" Kirchner bid and his withdrawal had it not plastered it all over Twitter.
    The admins came out ASAP and nipped in the bud any media sensationalism who probably would have alluded to that we're finished as a football club and/or the admin team are farting around based just on Kirchner withdrawal tweet, when the reality is he got out bid, took his toys and went home.

    Rush and his pals for me.....the more Mel Morris tried to fling crap at him the more I've come to believe it was Morris who was the dodgy partner not Sam.
    (And I saw the best football in years when Rush was involved)

    19 questions and "answers" from the EFL, bloody hell that's means my social media feed is going to be swamped with at least 38 individual articles from both the Telegraph and Derbyshire Live on this matter.

    I wrote off these past 2 games, so will be very happy with a point tomorrow. 4 from 6 against the two teams that seem to be steamrolling the Championship I'd take any day.
    That said I probably would have took 3 from 6 but don't want to be that negative for tomorrows game.

    Just never seems fazed or defeatist about the situation, so impressive given the horrendous circumstances. I really hope he gets the chance to manage us in a stable state....he absolutely deserves it.
    Lesser men would have walked from this nonsense months ago. You find out a lot about people in adversity.

    Retro_RAM reacted to Derbados in 'Igor Stimac: My Derby County'   
    The first game I ever went to was Aston Villa at home. I don’t remember much about the game apart from this giant of a Centre back who, during the first half took a mid air ball under control, proceeded to do kick ups with it then took on the onrushing attacker and played and inch perfect 30 yard pass. 
    Open mouthed I asked my dad, “who’s that dad?? He’s amazing!” 
    He replied “Igor Stimac son, watch him as much as you can because it’s rare you get to see a true world class player playing for Derby and he won’t be here for long” 
    He’s been my all time favourite Derby player ever since, my god that side with Stimac, Eranio, Baiano was frightening

    Hi all - some extra international break listening from us, should you fancy it

    Few players had as big an impact on the modern fortunes of Derby County as Igor Stimac. As international star at his peak when he joined the Rams in 1995, Igor's capture and the subsequent 20-game unbeaten run rocketed Derby up the league and on to eventual promotion to the Premier League.

    In this in-depth chat about his four years at Pride Park, author Ryan Hills ('Pride') talks to Igor about the tactical change he made with Jim Smith which was the catalyst for promotion, persuading Aljosa Asanovic to join the following summer, the move from the Baseball Ground to Pride Park, and the reasons behind his eventual departure for West Ham in 1999.

    A must-listen for all fans given Igor's status as one of our best ever foreign signings, we're delighted to bring you this exclusive interview with a Derby County great.

    This podcast is out now on our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/stevebloomerswashing

    Here's a little clip as a teaser, about the moment Igor was asked when he was unveiled (when Derby were 17th), what are the aims for that season?

    Ed Dawes said on the radio this week that David Tepper was a name mentioned to him. He also said he was in touch with other potential buyers for the club and when he mentioned David Tepper to them it was straight batted back.
    That's the only vague snippet of a rumour.

    Retro_RAM got a reaction from I know nuffin in Wycombe Consider Legal action (again)   
    I'm no lawyer but I'm presuming the suing is regarding administration as surely they cannot be suing us for FFP as we haven't been penalised for that yet and I'm under the impression you cannot sue on hypotheticals?
    Yes it's true had we gone in to administration last season they would still be in the Championship, we never, so frankly tough t*ts. It's not like the owners took the decision lightly and thought let's go in to administration next season because Wycombe LOLZ, no it's a combination of Covid and chancers parading as legit business owners and that came to a head this season.
    I can guarantee that Cardiff, Peterborough, Hull and Barnsley are all happy we went in to administration this season and not last season looking at the league.
    You see, going in to administration always benefits the teams around them the club going in to administration whenever that should happen and Wycombe lost out on this benefit, treating it like it was some form of vendetta against them is frankly ridiculous, it's harsh luck but so was Zamora's late winner.
    That's football you dust yourself off, get back on your feet and go again, you don't go suing like some Karen that wants to speak to the manager.

    Retro_RAM reacted to Mucker1884 in Charlton Athletic and Ipswich Town to sue Derby County   
    BREAKING:
    Bury FC are suing Derby County FC, as Derby failed to get drawn against Watford at any stage of the 2018/19 FA Cup.
    Due to Derby County beginning with the letter D, this ensured they were never allocated a draw number that was subsequently picked to play Watford.  Bury claim that Derby County should have ensured that their name began with the letter M, thus ensuring that they would have drawn Watford in the 4th Round, instead of Newcastle, thus offering a 50% chance that Watford might have lost!
    Due to this, it allowed Watford to have a nigh on unopposed run the final, where they succumbed to a 6-0 defeat to Manchester City, thus taking away Bury's 116 year exclusive hold on the all-time record win in an FA Cup Final.
    Bury will also be claiming damages for the mental anguish thereupon caused to their supporters, as Man City are based in Manchester, is quite close to Bury, if only in geographical terms, so it is argued that there's also a bit of local rivalry thing going on too. 
    A Derby County Spokesperson has argued that "There is absolutely no chance of us having a 50% chance of beating Watford, so duck 'em!

    Retro_RAM reacted to Steve Buckley’s Dog in Charlton Athletic and Ipswich Town to sue Derby County   
    Charlton Athletic are set to sue Derby County for £25 million after the ball burst in the 1946 FA Cup Final. If it hadn’t burst then we might have won or got some good players or something, said a Charlton spokesman. Meanwhile Ipswich Town also announced they were going to sue Derby County due to some reason or other. We might have won more games if they hadn’t beaten us in them, cited an Ipswich spokesman. It simply wasn’t fair that they had better players and scored more goals. We want £40 million and Martyn Waghorn back. 
    Meanwhile American fast food chain McDonalds announced that they were going to sue Derby County for fielding a player with their brand name. Flagrant breach of copyright, claimed a spokesman for the evil corporation.
    In other news the EFL announced a further 9 points deduction for Derby County after the midlands side finished their 0-0 draw against Swansea with 5 full backs on the pitch. Everyone knows you should have two full backs, said a source close to Rick Parry. Derby ended the game with 5 players who full back could be considered their tecognised position. That is clearly too many. We checked the rules but couldn’t find anything specific about this so we all agreed that 3 points per extra full back sounded about right. 

    Meanwhile Wycombe have announced they aren’t going to sue Derby County for getting them relegated by buying Nick Blackman when they were two leagues below after they realised it was totally ridiculous and so far fetched as to be laughable. 

     
    *Has anything ever gone wrong with your football club? Not won enough points? Let in last minute winners to players who can’t even drive and park their car properly? Why not sue Derby County? Contact Gibson and Parry Solicitors for your claim form.

    I understand Wycombe's feeling a bit harshly done here but what I don't understand why is it with us? EFL hasn't deducted us points for FFP breaches... yet. So are they suing because we went in to administration this season and not last season?? If so, then surely they'd get laughed out of court.
    If / when the EFL does give us a point penalty for FFP then again it was not our decision when they actually dock us these points.
