Took a bit of time out to gather myself, have a bath, listen back to Radio Derby and get a glass of my special occasion drink (White Peak Distillery cask rum, summit local). I hope everyone is having whatever it is they want to drink.

Can’t really add anything that hasn’t already been said. All my thanks for everyone’s efforts last season. From Rooney and Rosenior, the players and staff who kept the club going in the darkest days. You can all hold your head high for what you did.

The fans who did everything they could, from filling the stadium to organising marches etc etc. Also the supporters groups who tried to get answers.

The journalists who kept us informed as much as they could, this was a mess from start to finish and was impossible to report accurately on. Many lessons will be learnt but we should appreciate all their efforts from Nixon, Percy, @The Baron,Simon Stone and everyone else I’m forgetting about. Colin Murray, Dan Roan and the national journalists who gave #savederbycounty national coverage. 

Special mention to Ed Dawes and Radio Derby, who has lived this far longer than any of us realise because Morris was in his ear with his mess 2-3 years ago. He didn’t get it right all the time, I’m sure he can admit that, but he stood up when it mattered and deserves a pat on the back from Derby fans. Also let’s not forget Chris Coles who after so much crap Derby related news deserves his little moment tonight too!

Team Derby! Forkin, the council and the MPs who helped keep this in the spotlight and did a lot of background work. They have helped create a huge positive day for the city.

Thanks to @David, @Boycieand all the moderators on the forum for all their work and giving us the platform. Special mention to @Animal is a Ram for giving us ‘up to the second’ updates (and all those who sought to beat him, yes you @RoyMac5). Thanks everyone for the laughs in here, at some of the most frustrating times they were some genuinely funny days in here that made everything a bit easier. 

Finally, thankyou Mr Clowes. I hope despite inital reluctance this ends up being the best decision you ever make. I hope as fans we respect your privacy, but only after hearing your name being rang out by a sell out crowd on July 30th. 

I’ve probably forgotten someone, despite going on worst than one of those popmaster contestants who won’t shut up and go away, but I’m tired and wanna finish my drink and read transfer rumours like a normal football fan, so apologies to anyone who is forgetten.

Have a great night everyone, it’s much deserved 

Good post apart from that mention of Kieran Maguire. He went out of his way to destroy us by picking on one minor accounting detail that the EFL had said was ok. The bloke is an utter Bamford of the highest order. He will be devastated that we have survived.

Or the Bamford replacement for the swear filter 

Bamford is so 2019. The only forum swear words are Gibson and Morris. I'll let you decide what they stand for.

Not a fan of using Gibson. Not fair on Colin who's a proper Ram.

Agree with this. The only thing Mr Maguire cares about is Mr Maguire. I've said this before, and I'll say it again, he is basically Mr Ploppy from Bristol, but with a degree, a fancy (made-up) job title and a podcast (who doesn't?).

Sorry if this has been mentioned but just to add, imagine how the non-playing staff must feel tonight.  Those in the ticket office, club shop, admin staff, etc.  They know they’re future is secure.  Hope you’re still bringing us RamsTV next season @Owen87ITK .

He's a teacher! I've a few friends who know the knobend, none of them have much good to say about him. I've said it before, a narcissist who should be ignored.

Someone is going to come along and still claim that Ashley is just waiting for the right time to make a bid ?

Excellent post. I know you said you may have missed some people off, 1 person I also thinks deserves a big thanks for helping to explain the finance side of things in a way us simpletons could follow and understand and that is @Ghost of Clough

[wixman1884]

Surprised at how elated I am. Especially after reading that letter. 

My initital reaction was "oh finally", but I have to say I'm quite emotional now.

I'm IMMENSELY excited for the coming season. Let's take this league by storm, but in a sensible, sustainable way.

[MaltRam]

Hey, @one_chop...you ok me duck? Never mind.

Never mind how we get on this season on the pitch. Let's just turn up in droves, make a load of noise and be glad to be alive.

I thought he had some kind of made up title like "Professor of Football Finance 'n stuff" - maybe that was somebody else, or maybe he's been demoted to a basic lecturer?

My mate sent this from Brussels. Is this you, Eddie?

 

No, but that's a serious beer flight. I had an 8 in Le Trappiste (Bruges) a few years ago but 10, even though they are only 12.5 cl a pop, is a good lunch.

Ed Dawes crying on Radio Derby. No one can ever say a bad word about him again!
