I’d guess Rooney’s contract terms will have been sorted between Stretford and CK in the context of the business plan discussions. Hefty promotion bonus perhaps. Hopefully Rooney will now be having a busy few days discussing terms with players 

I wondered if this is why the (ambitious) closing date of 31/5 was included in the statement. A lot needs to happen by then (court orders in particular), so it’s bold. But it’s there in black and white and it’ll surely be used to ward off our players’ agents who are looking for new contracts, and to encourage incoming talent.
 
Hope Wayne finds someone else to carry Colleen’s bag he needs to make some calls 

Don't raise my hopes like this, Malcolm.

Its a shame as your profile pic is so cute

I withdrew my offer when on my 2nd visit I noticed the door hinges were loose, Surprised you bought it CB

 
 

And he could announce himself and no leaks

Yes but until the deal closes he will have an eye to where he would rank if something unmentionable were to occur. 

Yes the conditions still remain, but CK presumably isn't a charity or an idiot. He wouldn't agree to start covering the clubs costs if this wasn't going through.

For God's sake all you doom and gloom merchants and know alls give it a break, surley CK is not clueless and knows that the stadium will not be an issue or he would have walked away, not willingly take over the running of Derby County and paying the bills.
Smile and be happy, think positive we have a great owner who loves sport and we also have a great manager who loves the club, it takes more muscles to frown than too smile, happy days are here again!!!

I see the doom-mongers are still scuttling around. The first bit of confirmed progress we've had in months yet they just can't resist putting in their pessimistic comments - you do have to wonder if everything else in their lives is surrounded in negativity.
Most fans who have endured the last couple of years will probably agree that all is not now cut and dried but let's enjoy the fact that at last there is some light at the end of this dark tunnel and it doesn't automatically mean there's a train coming full pelt towards us.
Today is a good day, we've not had many of them recently so for pity sake enjoy it!

CK is no fool and would not express delight at becoming our new owner lightly. And he certainly would not agree to put cash in without a very very strong expectation the deal will close.

“There has been a tremendous amount of discussions, meetings and correspondence, but there is no doubt that the part played by the fans, in joining the march to the Birmingham City game, voicing their support on social media and turning out to the games in such amazing - and vocal - support both home and away," Mrs Solloway said in a statement. "Their passion and their refusal to give up has been extraordinary and even though there are still some hurdles to be crossed, I hope that they can breathe a huge sigh of relief today and look to the future of Derby County Football Club.
 
 
 
“It has been a pleasure to spend time with Chris. And he has paid tribute to the passion of the Derby fans - he is ( no doubt what the club means to the people in Derby and it's one of the reasons he was so keen to invest. "We are so pleased that this deal, which Team Derby and I have been working on for months, has now gone over the line. Finally, we have something to really celebrate!"

I’d thought CK’s funding would be by loan to Q. Or that he’d put a cash deposit with MSD and they would lend.

Is anyone ‘pleasantly surprised’ at how quickly this has moved forward?

On my way home from a 12 hour night shift, 
Normal

Today

What great news to wake up to. Will feel a whole lot better when the conditional parts of this deal are signed off though. After all we've been through it's ok to proceed with some caution, isn't it?
For now though I'll know it's a done deal when this thread is locked. I'm off to find that transfer thread. Now where is it again?

Never doubted you CK………….. ?
 
what news that is to wake up to the nightmare is nearly over and like any normal football fan I can dream of us winning the champions league again.. but in all seriousness this is for the city, the behind the scenes workers, the supporters and the  wider family. We can operate as normal and now set a plan to get us back where we belong. 
 
COYR ?

Has he signed yet?

I am more worried about "the small bits". I do have a complex about things like that.

The geriatric ultras can be most persistent when they've got a bee in thier bonnet about something.
