So...well over three weeks now since that 3-3 draw that kept us up and almost as long since we were discovered, at the second attempt, to have broken some rule or other and likely to pay another sort of penalty as a result.

Why then the delay? The DT continues to blather on about possible signings, Wayne’s ‘plan’ and the future being ‘bright’ for Derby County...but what’s the point? It’s all meaningless. Who’d join Derby with things as they are at the moment?

Conspiracy theories aside (everybody hates us!)...surely this can now be resolved and we must be allowed to move on without yet another wrecked closed season. If not...why not?
