Nice to see SKY treating their relegation as a bit of a sob story.
Cheats have been rewarded with exactly what they deserve
The coverage of Derby by media outlets has been nothing sort of farcical.
They are not seem under-dog outfit punching above their weight, they are a team who blatantly broke the rules managed by someone whose salary has contributed to their administration.
Let's also not forget that none of the senior players in that squad are being paid a pittance, they are all on the deals they signed before it all went wrong meaning they will be getting paid pretty handsomely, and have received their full pay ever since administration happened.
It should be called out by the media as exactly what it is. Just desserts.

SKY are basically sticking two fingers up at the businesses that have lost out, and staff (no doubt at those companies, and within Derby) who have lost jobs - All because they tried to cheat the rules - Even the likes of Charlton | Wycombe | Wigan, who have been relegated from the Championship in the last two seasons, all three clubs have struggled because they've played by the rules, when other teams have considered themselves above them.
Going to be harder next season. Derby, Sheff Wed, Sunderland, Barnsley, Peterborough, Ipswich, Portsmouth. Some big clubs all who will want out of this terrible league. Thomas needs to think hard about his plan for a challenge next season.

Sky only care because Rooney is the manager. If he leaves in the summer you'll barely hear Derby's name mentioned next season.
Chris Kirchner is moving closer to buying Derby County, the English Football League board has been told, with the US businessman insisting he eager to "get this done".
A number of outstanding issues still remain, including the future of the Rams' Pride Park home, which remains owned by former club owner Mel Morris.
Morris put the club into administration in September.
"It just comes down to the stadium," Kirchner said on Thursday.
"The way the entities under the previous owner were tied together - the stadium and rights to the stadium are intertwined," he told Rams TV.
"To have a club and a deal approved by the EFL you have to have a lease around to the ground. Because it's not part of the administration, it has added a layer of complexity.
A ground share for Derby is a terrible idea, however it has happened with quite a number of football clubs in the past. Any new people don’t want to be exploited by the bloke who owns the stadium, so the new folk are inclined to tell him to stick it. TS might have said that to Duchatelet and we could have tried to share with somebody ourselves, instead we have sorted a 15 year rental deal, and presumably factored that annual cost in. The whole thing is a messy risk, but there can be a glimmer of hope as Coventry City have discovered eventually. Stoke is along the A50 so not too bad, but the cooler Derby fans might want to share the new Chesterfield stadium as it is in the County, and might help out a poorer neighbour. All very sad for the decent common or garden Derby County fans though.
Stoke is a long way from Derby, and terrible for public transport too
I had thought about Notts County, but apart from being a lesser ground it wouldn't work as presumably County and Forest alternate home games, so Derby would end up playing at the same time as Forest!

And Tom Lawrence, (one of the scumbags in that revolting drink driving controversy), got sent off too. Have that you arsehole.
Or just Derby County if he leaves them
But first they have to be saved financially.

Hope they have a good half a dozen seasons down here.
Am sure an offer of £8m with us never paying it will be a fair bargain

Nixon must know more than I do!
