I don't see how they can be valid contracts without an agreement on a specific consideration
So I think it's fair to say that Derby are pretty much relegated, they're 12 points from safety with only 5 games to play.
How does everyone think they'll fare in League One next season?
I personally think if Wayne Rooney stays as manager, they're able to get new owners, and without the burden of a points deduction (which I still think is a total BS rule for going into administration) they're shoe ins for promotion right back next season.
IMO he's done a great job with the mess that is Derby at the moment.

Lots of Spurs fans would like to see Rooney replace Conte when the time comes
Hope they survive
It seems football clubs are becoming the latest must-have accessories for people who have too much money or need to clean up ill-gotten gains.
Ashley would be good for them.
He'll stabilize them, get them back to the Prem eventually and do enough to make them a mid table side that he can make a profit on and eventually sell on like he did with Newcastle.
Wouldn't put it past Ashley to be sat on the sideline; playing poker with the administrators, waiting for that last gasp knockdown price.

this whole thing is such a sad state of affairs for a once great club!
In other news, I see a takeover from David Clowes has finally been approved ....
do you think the things he wears in his feet are Clowes Shoes??
(just asking for a friend!)
I'm not sure where it's gone wrong for Derby lately but they've become a real shit show. Contacts don't mean anything to their owners, that's why Richard Keogh successfully sued them for 2 million after they terminated his contact for refusing to take a paycut. Meanwhile the 2 younger players, that were actually drink driving and caused the accident that injured Keogh, went unpunished by the club. I wouldn't be surprised if they hire Barton or Giggs as their next manager
Agreed. I don't know enough about what's going on but there is some speculation or at least some challenges that it's not "all" players but all non-contracted players (loan's, out or end of contract players). I guess it's a watching brief over the next few days to reveal what's going on.
Why have the administrators blocked Ashley?
Ashley may not be the greatest owner ever. But he kept Newcastle's finances stable and for a club that Derby that would surely be ideal?
