NEW PODCAST: 'Administration'

[Steve Bloomer's Washing]

Hey all. We recorded an emergency podcast in the wake of Friday's news, and it's out now:

In a podcast we never thought we'd do, Chris, Richard and Tom react to the devastating news that Derby County are entering administration and will plummet to the bottom of the Championship following a 12 point deduction. How terminal will the situation become for our proud club, an institution of English football, and where do we go from here?

• THE STATEMENT: Our emotions from Friday night, and how close we believe Derby currently are to liquidation.
• MEL MORRIS: How did a self-proclaimed 'lifelong fan' allow this to happen? We assess how a local businessman worth hundreds of millions took Derby County to the brink.
• STOKE: We won a game...! Amidst the chaos, Derby actually earned a rare three points. How has our relationship with the club and matchday changed now that results are basically irrelevant this season?

To summarise one of our closing lines from this episode:

As long as there's a Derby County to talk about, we'll talk about it. Whether it's League One, League Two, or a pheonix club at the bottom of the pyramid. We're Derby now, and we always will be.

-2 after eight games would be terminal were it not that our sad depleted player base is doing us proud.

Our results are anything but irrelevant.

By my reckoning we are still on for 47 points which often means survival. (Finishing on 45 points)

The Bielik phenomenon needs to be considered from new year.

It is not unrealistic to anticipate finishing on 50 points.

I expect us fo finish in the bottom half but refuse to accept that we are certain to be in the bottom three despite the Herculean efforts of the EFL.

Hmm, that was odd. It normally comes through quite quickly.

It's here, anyway:

Thanks for flagging!

Will we still have bielik or will he be sent back to arsenal because we cannot afford the rest of his transfer fee
