Position Derby will finish: 6th

Player of the season: Will Hughes

Young player of the season: Lowe

Top goalscorer: Martin

Scapegoat of the season: Carson

How many managers: 1

Biggest player to leave the club: Ince

Most bizarre story to come from behind the scenes at the club: Sam Rush with some shady backers from Russia launches hostile takeover bid. and/or Seeking every marginal gain, Rowett has a mystic come into the home dressing room at Pride Park who bangs his staff on the floor and proclaims "snakes be gone!"

What will happen to Nick Blackman: Unceremoniously transferred out in the summer (at a loss) "freeing up wages for players who play"

Your unique prediction: Newcastle start making approaches towards Rowett around February which are not immediately silenced.  However, form recovers and we win the play offs with Rowett at the helm.

I'll bet you that Offrande Zanzala scores more goals for dcfc than Martin next season. Bookmark me.

Ninos, I have bookmarked you and quoted you twice, but you don't want to seem to agree to this bet about Martin?

It's all for charity, mate.

Yep, forgot to respond to your bet that Zanzala outscores Martin for the Rams next season @Ninos - I'll take that betyou up on that too if you're not too scared to put your money where your mouth is. Can see @Leicester Ram's and my own preferred charity (Children In Need) doing quite nicely out of this. £50.00 Ok with you mucker?

Do you want a £10 side wager on my prediction that Nick Blackman gives up footy to form a Mariachi band? More likely than your suggestion I reckon ;)

My prediction: Derby sitting just outside top 6 at Christmas..... lots of wailing on here moaning about Rowett and having no plan B..... Morris pulls the trigger again.

In comes another coach..... probably Alex Neil, vowing to hit the ground running and play the Derby Way...... 5 wins on the bounce gets our hopes up. Then a midweek defeat to a struggling Bristol City side sets us sliding away from PO again. Neil is sacked and replaced by Wassall for last few games..... whilst speculation about FFP and the way we have got round it so far is similar to QPR and the FA/EFL decide to come down hard on us.

But we all love the money that has seduced us right.

 

However I hope.....Rowett gets all the time he needs, transitional season where we have a few ups and downs, stay patient, a decent cup run...... and rebuilt ready for a great season in 18/19. 

Hopefully all the poison has gone from the club then..... and we can talk football, the manager and coaching staff can concentrate on football..... the business side of the club is healthy... 

Stability, honesty and integrity all I ask of this club. Please Derby...... make it right.
