    I cover your Le Fondre and raise you a Rolf Feltscher.

    Twist in the hope of an Etien Velikonja?

    Heard Roony speak after their loss to the swans. He came across well. Quite articulate. :emoticon-0104-surpr

    That was after he'd given the 4th official a real mouthful after the final whistle.:emoticon-0183-swear

    He did have a point. Should have had a penalty after the rugby tackle in the box.

    True although the JB's had a good shout for a handball and a red card for the Snow Bird's keeper.

    Oh dear. Looks like cracks have appeared on the tranquil frozen banks of lake Direby....

    Very much looking like the takeover bid is going to collapse again and wages haven't been paid.

    Don't like the amount of devastation the fans are having to endure but the club has been asking for trouble for decades.

    It's actually quite sad and worrying that it's possible for complete charlatans to get so close or even succeed in taking over businesses that form such huge parts of their communities.

    We ourselves know all too well the pain and angst dodgy owners can cause having endured the rollercoaster ride that was Sam Hammam's tenure, followed by the relative calm but controversial period under Risdale...

    Again, sorry for the genuine fans of Derby but it's been coming for some time and they won't be the last.
    Until the game resets and changes massively so clubs aren't incentivised to go s##t or bust it'll sadly just keep happening.

    It is also pretty poor when Ashley might be considered an upgrade on Kirchner.

    And Quantuma keep taking their administrator fees. <doh>

    That’s my overriding sadness in all this- the club would be nowhere without their fans and they’ve disregarded them throughout this.

    Geez, these fuggers keep hanging round like a smelly sh1t!! they're still accusing EFL of having it in for them, but fug me the administrators, Quantuma appointed by Morris, are milking them for £1.5m each month, sure they're gonna keep dragging it out! anyhow, how sad never mind. hahaha

    Is the snow that bad that Kirchner can't sort out the logistics to complete the deal?

    Well I guess they will at least get a discount on their ski wear.

    I'm so confused (not an uncommon state for me).
    So some guy has bought the ground and has bid for the club.
    The administrators have had to borrow money so that Derby can start the season.
    They've borrowed the money from the same guy who has bought the ground and is bidding for the club.
    Who pays back the loan?
    And if the cub is still having to run on borrowed money, how are they any better off being in administration?
    I know there's lots of business acumen around many contributors here. So, if you've got a spare five minutes, perhaps you could explain it to me.
    Just doesn't seem right
