If Appleby had sufficient readies then I think everyone would prefer him to Ashley. But it sounds like Appleby and co are pulling pounds and pennies from anyone willing to give. Not sure I fancy us kicking around league 1 for numerous seasons and then finishing 16th in the championship for 5 seasons. 
 
One things for sure Ashley won’t want us being a league 1 club for long and if we can replicate Newcastle. 17th in the prem sounds like the dream.

Still not sure why he's interested. Owning a football club is a giant mugs game.

Only Derby could have the manager come out saying “things are moving quickly and a signing is close” only for a national paper to paint the bleakest of pictures an hour later. 
  
Honestly think there’s something to the Daily Mail story, the same drums about HMRC and being made an example of keeps happening. Plus Rooney has been positive in press conferences before only for it to all go south so can’t really take his word for much. 
  
I know people lambast the idea of Mike Ashley but at least with him you’d be pretty certain he’s got the readies to save the club. This Appleby consortium sounds like best case scenario is us challenging for promotion to the championship in 10 seasons time. 

Until a number of journalists start reporting the same thing within an hour window I’d say anything else is speculation and educated guesswork.

Well done Rooney on making the right subs and them having a positive effect on the game. Progress, good to see.

Think Gadsby is positioning himself as buyer of last resort for when the others all fork off in a “liquidate or give it me for buttons kind of way”.

Fair result tonight. It’s just the position we’re in at the moment. Rooney took the handbrake off to open the game up and make it a 3 pointer for both teams and unfortunately for us every time they went forward it looked dangerous and we couldn’t get past the half way line. A draw albeit against a good side won’t do us any favours so kudos for going for it. The players gave everything and that’s all we can ask.

Only a guess but maybe a few people are touchy on here tonight because of Austin’s antics. No point letting him get to you he’s clearly a bell. 
  
Seems to have a chip on his shoulder over a Twitter spat because we maintain we were robbed in the final (which we was). Weird guy.

I think that's it really, a point here and there, whilst in a normal season would be a good result, just isn't enough for us this year. Makes sense to go for it every match.

No less than QPR deserved. Dominated the whole of the 2nd half.
They’re a very, very good team with some extremely talented individuals.
Too many players having an off day for us tonight, which is understandable after the heroics against Bournemouth and Fulham.
Think Rooney could have been slightly more proactive with his substitutions as it was clear we were tiring around the hour mark.
No complaints from me, though. What we lacked in quality in the final third, we made up with our usual endeavour and work rate.
Can’t ask anymore of them than that.
Onwards and upwards to Bristol City on Saturday. ?

FFP is an outdated concept now for the reasons stated. The yoyo of Norwich, Watford etc show this. The only true financial constraint would be to put a worldwide cap on transfer funds and wages, but that’s never going to happen. 
  
Either we make it no limit and if owners go crazy chasing the dollar then it’s a gamble clubs and fans have to accept or they keep with the FFP rules. Or some smart arse comes up with another plan but that’s out of my limits. 
  
Sad times. 

I don’t think fans need to be Team Mel or Team EFL. I think the blame lies at both parties door. 
The losers in this are; the fans, local business, employees and if you wish to play it this way Wycombe. The fact of the matter is that Mel has got off with his millions in his back pocket and the EFL have won.   
  
Ultimately we’ve gambled on the proviso that if you spend enough money you’ll get up. In every other teams case this gamble has seemed to work. Just typical Derby that we’re the one team that this irresponsible approach hasn’t worked for. If it had Mel Morris would’ve been a hero in everyone’s eyes. For me it’s the fact he has plenty of money and has put us in to administration out of pettiness that we were starting to question his actions which leaves me feeling bitter towards him. 
 
I also don’t believe that the EFL are innocent or simply playing by the rules. They signed off everything and only took a second glance when Boro kicked up a stink. It’s irrelevant whether we cheated or not if they signed it off the blame and punishment should sit with them. 
  
It’s going to be 50/50 as to whether fans decide to be dignified or give it to the EFL every weekend. But ultimately both actions are irrelevant if we don’t get ownership soon. 
  
If we do get ownership does the squad restrictions get lifted? This is the bit I’m unsure about. If they don’t then that’s rather depressing looking  at next season.
