I have just read that the guy who is supposed to be buying Derby has been told to walk away, it says that Mike Ashley could come back in and buy the club.

They should hope he does
Yes that other guy seems dodgy, didn’t he try to buy another championship club but had to borrow all of the money first?
After walking away from an original Derby bid, he had a bid accepted for Preston, then pulled out at the last minute, then offered less than before...they told him to feck off.Yes that other guy seems dodgy, didn’t he try to buy another championship club but had to borrow all of the money first?
Ashley is a prick but knows how to get a club working sustainably and on the off chance he doesn't he's loaded to the hilt. Pretty telling that he's sniffing around Derby but won't touch CCFC with a bargepole
He always buys as cheap as possible, and in Newcasle's case, took away a huge chunk for himself, year on year. Wasn't bothered about how they did as long as they stayed up and he had the PL money rolling in. Great business model, but horrible for the fans.
The stadium isn't sorted yet...could still be a problem, especially with Kirchner's history.Contracts exchanged it appears -

ooohhh what an honour...i think ??
It does seem stupid but you do have to admire Rooney for sticking it out in an intolerable position - could you imagine the likes of peacocks like Beckham toughing it out
He doesn’t need the money. He’s doing it as he loves the game
Agree. He has got on with the job despite intolerable situation. Unlike Lampard he hasn’t cut and run at the first opportunity of a ‘bigger’ club. I think he deserves great credit and it will be interesting to see what he achieves in the coming season.

I like Rooney & he definitely deserves credit for the job he's done (alongside more experienced & qualified coaches like Liam Rosenior who barely get a mention) but this is just ridiculous, over the top nonsense.
Yep, cliche is a motivator and a tactician. We did better when Alex Miller was assistant, rather than Gary Pendrey, and there was a reason for that!Agree on Rosenior. Get the feeling he’s the brains behind the operation. Not that that’s a dig at Rooney; ultimately as a manager your remit is to surround yourself with and listen to the right people.

The motivation extended to signing two players from Smith's former club strangelytbf, Smith was brought in as the motivation rather than the tactical acumen (much as Archie Knox to Eric Black). Not that that worked either, of course!
My thoughts entirely.The Derby takeover still not gone through, it’s almost a week since the EFL deadline. What’s the holdup?
Good old Leroy, even took little Torquay up for a rare sojourn in L1! He was the first manager to get anything out of Adebayo Akinfenwa, waaaay back in 2004! He was a bit quicker then.Agree on Rosenior. Get the feeling he’s the brains behind the operation.
