Abu Derby Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Has anyone seen the news today? My great friend the Abu Derby Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al Nahyan has met Boris Johnson.

It’s happening folks! https://gulfnews.com/photos/news/in-pictures-sheikh-mohamed-bin-zayed-on-an-official-visit-to-the-uk-1.1607613824219?slide=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lampard.... who is he? never heard of the fellow...! ha ha I agree on most of your points. The club definitely doesn't have to tell us anything and I don't know why everyone on here thinks the details of a multi million pound deal should be broadcast for everyone to see. Regarding the academy though we can't sell youth products for tens of millions every year - it isn't going to happen. We've broken even on transfers most years since Paul Clement anyway, but we we're down to bare bones now and still lose money on wages. I'm sure Mel isn't about to go bankrupt, but he can't fund it to the extent he has been doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting! We have black and blue... although after Christmas, that will change to blue and black, as they miss a week! We used to have a brown as well, but we only have plants in pots now. It's all patterned concrete, plastic lawn, and wooden fence, so no need for a brown bin any more. PS: I lied... It's not interesting at all... but it sure as hell livens this thread up! ? ... Oh... Thursday's for us, before you ask! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Hughes Hair Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I've got a grey, brown and green bin. I haven't decided which is my favourite, but DCFC have indicated my decision is imminent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramslad1992 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 7 hours ago, Rampage said: Wayne is the manager of Derby County. He is loving it. He has got what he wants and is planning to make a really good job of it. Crikey how much must he have learnt from Fergie, Phelan, Kidd and Schteve at United. He laid a marker down by bringing on Macdonald and Whitaker last night. The door is open. He must have learnt from Fergie how to bring young players through. Discipline last night was the key and it proves that the players are responding to Wayne. I for one am excited at who he may bring in at Xmas. He’s planning on bringing in Dorothy, 81 and Beryl, 78 and his specialist personal masseuses. #ITK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could as well mean that Mel has been told by the new owner to be that it's his problem, or for those pessimistically inclined, that the deal is off.
