    They’re nice words mate

    Yeah the Neptune is real old school
    You always see the Neptune England flag when the Barmy Army are in Australia too

    I think all proper fans feel the same way
    We know what it’s like supporting your team and you realise how it would feel if it’s your team when you see clubs like Bury going under

    Now it’s our turn.
    I think most Derby fans have always secretly felt that we’d end up getting out of this. But that confidence is ebbing away.
    The administrators have been disgustingly bad and the EFL have wanted to Fxxk us for a long time now
    As an example, to take Middlesbroughs spurious claims seriously was incredible

    It was either a bank holiday somewhere in the world or he just hasn't got it , he was going to buy Preston a few months back but they saw what was coming so pulled out , the guys's a fraud
    I know Derby is a different situation than Preston they're desperate but the EFL should have seen this coming , heads should roll

    The EFL is not fit for purpose. So many clubs, fans, communities let down over the years.
    They put rules in place, then don’t enforce them. I think Derby will be lucky, in that they are big enough to attract a buyer, but the biggest problem is the club not owning the ground. That’s going to be a tough workaround.

    We’re fairly confident that David Clowes is buying the ground

    "Rooney's Derby County"? Not any more.



    Wayne Rooney has told troubled Derby County that he wishes to be "relieved of his duties as first-team manager" with immediate effect.

    The 36-year-old's contract with the club had another year to run.

    The Rams have been in administration since September last year and were relegated to League One last season.

    "I feel the club now needs to be led by someone with fresh energy and not affected by events that have happened over the last 18 months," he said.

    Hope he doesn't abuse the freedom he has of the city.

    Pleased for the fans. It’s no fun watching something you’ve invested time , money and lots of emotions into, being ripped apart in front of your eyes, and you can’t do anything about it.
    It will be interesting to see how they build back.
