Just when you thought things were getting better!
Can’t like who’s taking over.
Rumours about John Terry and Jody Morris.
Gobsmacked!

No surprise really, once CK backed out, I think it was on the cards and clearly he doesn't have any connection with Clowes if it is him who takes over. I also think Clowes would not want to be paying Rooney's wages.
So its a clean start all round and I for one think it may not be a bad thing, lets hope the takeover gets done quickly and we can all focus on football!
Were the betting company sponsors not paying his wages any longer?
be ironic if CK suddenly tipped up with the cash in a brown bag!
I was never entirely sure whether that deal was just for when he was a player? Hopefully we can get shot of a gambling firm as our main sponsor!
Maybe it'll be Clowes Developments?
My view is Rooney may have left because the pressure would now be on him to get us promoted ASAP where's as in the championship with a 21 point deduction he had none, maybe he doubts his ability or wanted to protect his stock that said I would have been happy if he'd stayed and gave it a go
Think there might be something in that Stenson, alongside Swale’s suggestion that Rooney really wanted a Kirchner takeover, for whatever reason, and doesn’t support the Clowes news.
I’m disappointed because I thought Rooney had really bought into Derby and that he would be a bit of a ‘magnet’ in terms of attracting players to join our potential ‘resurrection’ from League One.
On the other hand, we can’t be certain how many of the good things we saw last season were down to Rosenior rather than Rooney and it still seems strange that LR seemed to walk away from what looked like a nailed on appointment as Blackpool’s manager right at the last minute.
Personally, despite all the big names allegedly in the running to take over from Rooney, I’d be happy to see Rosenior given a chance, possibly with Curtis Davies as assistant.
Of those other big names...some (eg Steve Cooper and Frank Lampard) are obviously total nonsense...but Sean Dyche might be a good fit
I'd be happy with Dyche but doubt he'd drop to L1
I think he might for a club with Derby’s potential.
Either way he’d be preferable to Warnock or Pulis who I see being mentioned by some.
Please God, no! To either of them.
Warnock has achieved a lot at some clubs but he’s nearly 74. Too old now and too bloody irritating imo.
Pulis achieved great things with Stoke but, as far as I can remember, no where else, and at comparable clubs (ie perennial underachievers) WBA and Sheffield Wednesday he was somewhere between poor and disastrous.
P.S. What’s ‘winviz’ saying about our chances next season, GP?
After all...we only need a manager, a goalkeeper and half a squad (at least) before the season starts...FIVE weeks today! Still, at least we have a ground...I think.

Winviz says about 15% chance of making playoffs, 10% chance of promotion, 5% chance of relegation, 2% chance of not starting next season
Hopefully a season of stabilization, rebuilding and not being swamped by unrealistic fan expectations of an immediate return
And a new rivalry with the real Forest - the one in Nailsworth
