He’s never done the right thing… he’s not going to start now. Will go down in infamy as one of the worst owners ever, not only of this football club but of any football club.

Not a player, but Mel Morris surpasses them all......

Player wise, probably Ravanelli 

Mel Morris has to be the biggest disappointment. The man who potentially kills our club...

Mel Morris it is time to do the right thing!

He would be one of the first players to offer a new contract to. This guy is special and will have a massive role to play for us.

Can't wait for the takeover to be completed so we can offer our players new contracts. Let's hope Mel doesn't hold it up with the stadium sale.

Great video. Thank you to Blackpool  and all the supporters. What an atmosphere and a day, massive respect and appreciation between the Derby and Blackpool fans.

If Chesterfield don't go up, I'd definitely be looking at getting that Tshimanga from them. Natural goalscorer, young with lots of potential. These are the types that go to Peterborough, spend a season or two then get flogged for tens of millions to teams like us! Signing a prolific goalscorer on a free will be rather difficult. If we have any transfer budget, for me, I'd put it all into this guy.

What fee would he command do we think? As I also think he would he would be a good target.

Kabongo and Niasse would be my top two targets as we need fire power and options up top. Then I would like to see Roberts come back to give us options and out wide.

100% this. We have some fantastic creative fans, I love that. We also have loads who will sit at there keyboards and just moan without offering a positive.

Well said. I have no idea what those fans want to achieve by always being negative and moaning. We need to rally together and behind our club.

There will always be some fans aren't happy, I love any effort fans make to behind their club and I think this could look great!

I think a lot of fans have already forgotten the financial constraints we are going to be under. If we deviate from the approved business plan then we are in more trouble. Several years of very little cash to spend I'm afraid. I suspect this will mean mainly home grown players and perhaps a few free transfers here and there.

No more big contracts for sure.

I don't expect any big contracts but Allsop, Davies, Stearman and Morrison are only on 4.5k and surley would accept a similar wage next season? All would be great in League One as well.

From Mel. As a “fan” it’s the least that he can do. 

100%.

Mel Morris should be ashamed of himself.

The East Midlands will always be black and white!

Think it’s broadly this, in no particular order...

CK needs to agree a business plan with EFl and EFl need to approve him as Owner. He may also want confirmation from them that his proposed deal will not result in a points deduction

dont know what his requirements are re stadium but whatever they are, that needs to be sorted before he becomes owner.
 

He needs to finish his diligence and a contract needs to be signed between him and Q.

May 7 is the date by which this needs to be done we’re told, but Q could extend that 

(Quite possible Rooney will need to amend his terms as a condition of the deal with CK)

Once CK has signed, Q need to get court orders approving the creditor compromises in line with their agreement with CK. once that’s done, they will seek a court order discharging themselves as administrators and the club will be transferred to CK

Id think (if it proceeds ) the transfer will occur in June/July but who knows. I believe it’s when the transfer happens that he will pay the cash to Q and payments to creditors will be made 

 

I hope it's done before then as that means we can't renew any contracts until then. I was hoping/thinking it would all be wrapped up next month.

We all know we're down. No one is seriously pretending we'll stay up, people tonight were planning trips to away games they'd never of dreamt they'd be playing at, but we will build from a base of loyal fans, and if Chris Kirchner can complete the takeover and keep Rooney then we will face next season in League 1 (Division 3 to us old buggers), with good heart and optimism.

If we can keep most of our kids, use Rooney's contacts to get a couple of loans or decent old lads like Jags in, then all Wayne needs to do is find a Bobby Davison and there's no reason why history can't repeat itself.

I hope Chris can get the deal over the line ASAP. It is essential we keep the core of this sqaud together. It is a special group !

What a night and what a atmosphere. Pride Park and Derby was rocking.

❤??

Weird one that, isn't it?

A solid player on his day. Makes you wonder why he's not been able to find a suitable club.

I have to admit I am surprised he hasn't got a new club yet.

He’s someone I’d have liked us to re-sign this season if the EFL restrictions had allowed, can cover CB and RB, isn’t brilliant, isn’t terrible, would do a job as a squad player at league one level for sure. Plus he’s got experience in and around the club, that’s one thing I think will be vital with any potential rebuild post takeover, we definitely need fresh blood and to think about the future, but a squad also needs those players who have some connection and history to the club. 

I agree. I think he would be an idea sqaud player for us next season, can player CB or RB, knows the club and after having a season without a club shouldn't have massive wage demands.

Would anyone consider Wisdom as a sqaud player? trained with Sheff Utd recently but still doesn't have a club

'40 players signings contracts' would be better wording. I expect around 30 of those are currently at the club.

That would make sense. I think 40 new faces would be an absolute overhall and I can't see we would need quite that many additions (even including the U23's and U18's).

I am absolutely sick to the back teeth of sports journalism. 

So much contradicting information I don't know what to think...

I think surley the first job is to offer contracts to our existing first team sqaud, I hope most of then will stay.

Then our first target surley has to be a centre forward who is a physical presence and get us some nuch neededbgoals. After that I think we need a wide man and another ball winning CM with a bit of bite. 

Surley we have to get behind CK at the moment. It is in the clubs best interest to get him ASAP so we can start planning for next season with or without a minus 15 points deduction.
