    The Gadsby/Appleby duo does raise a few eyebrows. I don't believe they have the enormous funds at hand, but we know that both have overseen the club's best positions post-Pickering. 
    The one thing that I'm fairly sure of is that they're coming in to settle the situation and then make a sale of a club in a better position than it currently is, whilst making some money for themselves in the process. They protect the club in the short-term and make a smart investment long-term. I doubt they're going to be the ownership to re-establish a Premier League charge, but the club could survive with them at the helm. 
    I think Appleby, whilst never splashing the cash, made some shrewd appointments for the club overall. I really like Glick and when you look at the trajectory of his career since his time here then you must give Appleby credit for being a smart sport-biased business man. I really think we could do a lot worse than that. 
    I don't think I will be head-over-heels with whoever wins out the takeover, but anything to get the club back to a stable footing again will be appreciated for sure.

    Sibley absolutely needs to be moved on for his own good. Regardless of the off-the-field issues, the current management staff don't trust him enough to play him in the first team despite being (for my money) the most talented player at the club by some distance. 
    If he can get a good move to a decent team, perhaps we will eventually see the potential he has at a first team level. I genuinely hope we can find him a good home that will bring him on a lot better than we can.

    I'm not there, but I wouldn't do anything. I liked him as a player when he was here, but his legacy is definitely tainted. I have no issues in him getting his money, but ultimately I don't have to be happy about it - especially as we barely have a club left at this present moment in time.

    I think it's inevitable we will lose considerable amount of players in January. 
    Tom Lawrence, Louie Sibley, Max Bird, Lee Buchanan, Jason Knight, Graeme Shinnie, Nathan Byrne & Kelle Roos are all likely to leave. I would also have to imagine Jozwiak would be another likely to be sold, along with Bielik although I'm not 100% sure on his fitness level at the moment. 
    Who knows with the likes of Ebosele and Liam Thompson. They may have done enough to get a move too. 
    In some respect, I hope that these players do get out and get a chance to play for a club not absolutely riddled with disease. It would be remiss of me as a Derby fan not to want them to all do well in their career. Although, saying that, it would be sickening to see clubs with fans who have reveled in our misery be beneficiaries of these sales, but what can we do.

    Ambitious got a reaction from kevinhectoring in Would our current squad challenge for promotion from League One?   
    I would think it would be competitive, because players gain confidence and they will have more opportunities in a lower division. It's likely that some would exceed expectations, others wouldn't have the impact we would hope. 
    League One isn't as physically demanding as some think, small technical players often do well - Jorge Grant and Brennan Johnson are two who were impressive at Lincoln last year. Young lads on loan from Forest, both small and technical players. I'm not 100% and it's a purely half-baked opinion, but I would also have to assume that the general conditioning at that level is worse than the Championship. 
    We don't know what we will look like going into next season, but I would definitely expect to be competitive if we were in League One with this squad as of this moment.
