Such very sad news 😔 RIP B4. 

The players report back in 3 weeks. 3 weeks! We do not have a squad.

Believe it is in the EFL regulations that you cannot start a new season if you have entered administration during the previous one. We won’t be starting next season still in admin… one way or t’other.

Not correct.

He needs to Thai this deal down.

At least he's not gone south.

Can somebody give a short review of Nixons new patreon tweet?

Apparently saying that it's expected to complete soon. Council will get the ground with the expectation that new owner buys from them within set time frame.

Odds are that we see derby county outside of the play offs next season, at least two to three seasons in League one.

Examplre: Leeds took several seasons to escape league one.

Derby will be restricted due to the business plan in terms of who they can sign, expect free agents and loan signings.

Not the best of those, they will go to the Championship clubs while derby pick up the left overs in competition with other league one clubs.

I've read that escaping league ones requires spending and from what I've read we will not be doing a lot of that.

For those who dream of escaping league one in the first season, continue to dream.

Wigan. 

Things have gone really quiet on here. It's 95 days until the League 1 season kicks off. If CK is due to start writing cheques (per his own comment) by the 7th of May, then I expect some news this week. 4 days ago, the business plan went to the EFL. Key now is whether or not the EFL mess about, they don't do that, do they?

Did you have to re-follow everyone?!  I don't think the other solution was that drastic!! ?

I just logged out and then in again. I might have restarted the phone in between. You won't have to re-follow anyone.

Do we get parachute payments for being relegated at all?

No, this is where we actually hit the ground without any parachute. Think we get a measily solidarity payment perhaps...

Disgraceful. They should be holed up in a premier inn a la partridge.

Stick them in the Pennine!

Don't want to sound like that clown DERBY5HIRE, but there are quite a few links between Matthew Montague and Mel Morris. 

Also Matthew Montague was a sponsor of Team Derby - very small world when you drill down a bit. Oh heck, I do sound like that clown now, I shall stop....

Ah. That’s insane. I think I had this plan in my mind (which is attached to the East Stand, I think).

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this before or not. Hoping someone can enlighten me... I understand that pre-contract agreements can be broken. If this takeover gets moving, is there a chance we could keep Festy?

Who is Andy?

Andy is a thunderpillock. He has a son called Barry.

He must be getting his so called information he keeps dishing out from someone or somewhere.

Some of it is obviously not correct.

I am hoping we hear some concrete news soon. 

Me too. To think this all started off with the elation that we were getting bought by super-rich Arabs all the way down the spiral to where we currently are. I said to Nixon something along the lines of "as soon as any developments occur, will someone from the EFL be on the blower to let you know, Al?" ...and that was enough for the hatchet to fall.

Can anyone remember the days of Derby County Clubcall? An 0898 number that gave you in the ITK info back in the day. If Q wanted a bit of a revenue stream...

Problem is, when things are going well, nobody gives a caca about what the likes of Nixon and Percy have to say. I think there are levels and Percy is marginally above Nixon, debatable I know, but he's a red dog regardless and never fails to push out some kind of unsettling trash before an East Midlands derby. They can both do one.

So are you saying they haven’t spoken to EFL yet and you know this because you get your info from the EFL?

He blocked me for saying something similar.

About as likely as me winning the Euromillions lottery - which I don't enter.....

Maybe Wazza has struck a deal to get Shakhtar Donetsk and Dynamo Kyiv lads redeployed to Derby...

Any actual takeover news before I check out.

Apparently ASDA are being sold-off by Walmart. Can't remember who is behind that takeover. HTH. 

Not sure Ravel Morrison's gonna be around for it though. Sorry if that's already been done, not had time to read back. 

The leagues will carry on Sans-Bury

So, not less than six figures, so probably £100-150k in go forth and multiply pennies. Not itk but a guess. A lot less than the£6m the daftie said...

If you're Mel Morris it's no big deal apart from the business bro ego thing.

Anyone else found themselves supporting whomever Wycombe are playing?

Ah, the Jimmy Carr argument. It's funny to those not offended by it and sod those that are affected.

The targets of "humour" may not be physically harmed but the cumulative negative effects on society are great.

TBH I'm surprised at you @i-Ram.

Anyway, as you say, back to Administration - which is far from humorous to most of us.

I mean, you're probably right - in many ways, but come on....

The letter is fine. You can’t expect a lengthy letter covering the whole range of possible remedies. You don’t need to slate everything.

I'm not slating everything. It's conceivable that arbitration is not the route that the administration takes.

All well and good if arbitration is actually the route travelled.
