    Guys…Never ever give up…for 10 months it looked honestly like we were going to be liquidated as our debts were far higher than the value of the club, (approx £60m)…we had many false dawns and near misses with potential new crooked owners from the USA, Spain ETC…in the end it took a local business man and fanatical Derby fan who ignored commercial sense, bought the stadium from our previous owner and then did a deal with the administrators for the carcass of the club, (who themselves seem to be on a gravy train)…this was all in the eleventh hour! We had already started planning a Phoenix club! I know you will all feel helpless at the moment…look at organising a march to the ground before a game, have a fan day and invite other supporters to this…possibly on the next international break…post on the Forum boards of Derby, Wigan, Blackpool, Bolton, Bury, Portsmouth all friendly and supportive clubs who have been through the same thing. Create go fund me pages, (if you haven’t already)…Contact local MP’s…some Derby fans created an online petition for all fans to sign so that the plight of Derby was discussed in Parliament…Contact high profile ex-players like Kevin Keegan / Ian Botham and ask them to raise your plight and to get it onto Talksport, local news ETC. Good luck guys and if you do organise a fan-day then I will do my best to come along.
