    Dont know the story but it appears that the EFL are blocking a sale though I have no idea who is buying - unless its Ashley and the club is in real danger of folding in the immediate future

    Appealing to Nadine Dorres looks a bit desperate


    Guess if everton wait a couple of weeks they may be able to get Rooney without paying compo

    Trouble is if Derby fold we lose half our wins this season

    We need stricter rules of who buys football clubs and what they can do once bought.
    Football rivalry is one thing but clubs dying because of unscrupulous owners is disgraceful imo .
    Govt and FIFA intervention is needed here and the stupid system of these owners being the ones that vote on the rules needs taking out of their hands .

    But only two relegation places.

    I don't think it would alter the outcome for us even if there was only one relegation place.

    Football won't truly sort itself out until there are some big casualties.

    It's just a shame the writing on the wall hasn't been heeded and those casualties are likely to manifest.

    There is only one club I would wish to see fold - Bizzarely awarded Family Club of the Year in 2017 but even others I actively dislike such as Leeds and Cardiff I dont want to go out of existence - you need someone to hate after all. Im generally a bet Meh about Derby but I dont want them to cease to be

    Looks like they really won't be playing us again.

    Sorry, gallows humour.

    Hope they go bust. Until we see some big clubs having to start again Football clubs will continue to think that there is always a way out if they cheat.

    We would get the 3 points gained against them taken off too

    They'll get saved somehow. No way a club like that will go bust......unfortunately.

    Yep, while Reading would only lose 1 point from a draw and a defeat, and I think Hull lost against them as well, while Cardiff haven't played them yet. What a mess.

    I have sympathy with the fans. Even the ones who made fun of us as we went down.

    Derby are a massive club and they don’t deserve this, even their fans. I really dislike Derby County but won’t accept liquidation is what they deserve. Just deduct them another 150 points, that’ll allow them to finish 23rd and relegated.
