The way the club, the players, and every single supporter pulled together today was incredibly special ๐ค
The emotion and atmosphere at the march, then at the game afterwards is something I'll never ever forget.
We're Derby County, we'll fight til the end ๐
#SaveDerbyCounty
Fikayo Tomori has played almost every game for AC Milan this season, helping the Rossoneri to their first title in over a decade. ๐ดโซ
He's been a key man in a defence that has kept 18 clean sheets in 38 games. Surely he's finally due an England call up? ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ
Two years ago Lee Buchanan abused a loophole to tear up his Derby contract, leaving for free to avoid playing in League One.
Today, he's once again been relegated to League One with Birmingham City.
Karma ๐
#DCFC
Middlesbrough, a club who currently have legal action lodged against Derby, have their CEO on the EFL board.
If that doesn't scream corruption, I don't know what does.
#DCFC
Back in 2011, a young Craig Forsyth helped Dundee escape relegation despite a 25 point deduction ๐๐ผ
Now, 11 years later, he aims to do the same with Derby. What a story it would be if it happened again ๐
#DCFC
Derby have been in administration for seven months, have been under an embargo for almost two years, and are weeks away from potential liquidation.
Yet according to Thomas Tuchel, Chelsea are the only club to suffer like this. Delusional ๐คฆ๐ป
#DCFC
๐ฃ๏ธ "We're the only club in the moment who suffers like this and maybe the first club who ever did this."
Thomas Tuchel says the sale of Chelsea gets more difficult every day for the players describing the situation as a 'distraction'.
Here's a Monday evening stat for you.
Curtis Nelson is the only player in the entirety of League One to have played every minute of every league game this season.
Colossus ๐
#DCFC
It's happened, it's finally happened.
David Clowes has changed us from being a club with over ยฃ150m of debt, to being completely debt free.
After years of suffering, points deductions, and controversy, we can finally relax.
Derby County is SAVED, let's have a party ๐ฅณ๐
#DCFC
If Man City win the Champions League and Derby get relegated, Derby will have a reigning Champions League winner in their League One squad.
Crazy ๐๐
Today I said goodbye to the man who made me fall in love with Derby.
A season ticket holder for over 60 years, he saw us lift the FA Cup and both league titles. He loved Derby, and going to Pride Park won't be the same without him being there.
Rest in peace Grandad โค๏ธ
Horrible news coming out this morning that Derby's takeover has apparently fallen through.
If true, this is another devastating moment in the most difficult period of the club's history.
Can't lie, I'm terrified for the club at the moment
#DCFC
Started pre-season with just 5 senior players under contract.
Signed 11 free agents, 7 loan players, and re-signed 5 out of contract players.
No outfield players aged 23-28.
Under an embargo and a wage cap.
A tough end, but we should be so proud of how far we've come ๐
#DCFC
Just been sent these pics of the Wisdom flag, placed slap bang in the middle of the east stand! Can't wait to see it during the game tomorrow ๐คฉ๐

Jacob Widell Zetterstrรถm looks an absolute snip at ยฃ1.5m.
Gets down so well for someone of his size, spreads himself brilliantly 1v1, and looks to be a real character.
Fantastic scenes when he sprinted the length of the pitch to celebrate Derby's third! ๐

Curtis Davies - Jack Stamps Player of the Season ๐
Max Bird - Sammy Crooks Young Player of the Season ๐
Nathan Byrne - Player's Player of the Season ๐
Three incredibly deserving winners, Congratulations!! ๐ค๐ค

The Clowes bid for Derby has been officially accepted, which is incredible news!
Completed by June 29th โ
No more points deductions โ
A much-needed clean slate โ
Rosenior as interim boss โ
New signings incoming? ๐
Derby County is saved, time to get excited again! ๐

The meaning behind the shirt numbers today! ๐ค
Bryson: 5-0 after his hat-trick against Forest
Nugent: 59, the minute he secured his hat-trick against Fulham
Johnson: 4-2 after THAT game away at Leeds
Waghorn: 78, the minute he scored the goal that kept us up!
Class ๐
#DCFC
FIVE years ago today, Derby came back from 2-0 down on aggregate to beat Leeds 4-3 in one of the greatest comebacks in play-off history.
A day we'll never forget. Incredible memories ๐
#DCFC
Very much enjoying Richard Stearman's new unofficial chief scout role ๐
Both James Collins and David McGoldrick have said in their interviews that they were in contact with Stearman, who recommended the club to them! ๐๐ผ
What a guy! ๐
#DCFC
Derby County, a League One team with a patchwork squad, have just held a Liverpool team that brought on over ยฃ100m worth of players to a draw.
Beyond proud to be a Derby fan this evening ๐
#DCFC
Bolton, Peterborough and Barnsley all claimed they'd finish above Derby after beating them this season.
All three of them will play in League One next season after bottling the play offs.
You love to see it ๐
#DCFC
After his "screamer" against Forest Green today, David McGoldrick now has 20 goals and 6 assists in all competitions.
TWENTY SIX goal involvements in just 36 games is obscene, all at the age of 35. What a player ๐๐ผ
#DCFC
I'm genuinely speechless. The flag for Andre is ready and it's actually ridiculous ๐๐ thank you so much to everyone who's shared or donated to make this happen. We appreciate every single one of you more than you can imagine ๐ค๐

Two years ago, Derby fans woke up every morning not knowing if they'd even still have a club to support.
Today, Derby have won promotion back to the 2nd tier at just the 2nd time of asking.
This incredible team have done us so proud. WE ARE GOING UP!!! ๐
#DCFC
Phil Jagielka found out yesterday that his brother's death back in March was drug related.
To receive such horrible news, then still go out and give absolutely everything on the pitch takes unbelievable character. What a warrior โค๏ธ
That was without doubt the best second half performance and atmosphere we've had in a long time.
Those full time scenes were INCREDIBLE. COME ON YOU RAMS!!! ๐
#DCFC
With the Admins, the EFL, and Boro all putting out conflicting statements, it's time they all get together, have a meeting, and sort this out.
No more statements. No more pettiness. Just find a solution to

Last season, Derby signed an athletic and combative midfielder on loan who completely revolutionised their struggling midfield.
Today, he's back, and this time he's here to stay ๐
Welcome to Derby PERMANENTLY Ebou Adams ๐
#DCFC
Worth noting that the likes of Appleby and Ashley have had 9 months to submit an acceptable offer, yet never have.
Clowes has come in, purchased the stadium, supplied the club with a loan, and has bid to save the club he loves, in just a few weeks.
He's the right man! ๐
#DCFC
Kane Wilson had a medical at Bolton Wanderers in the summer, but they decided not to sign him, and he moved to Derby instead.
Nine months later he's scored the goal that could cause Bolton to miss out on automatic promotion.
Kane Wilson is a RAM ๐

David McGoldrick:
- Could've retired but chose to join Derby on massively reduced wages
- Scored 25 goals, including 22 in the league
- Registered 31 goal involvements in all comps
- Scored 3 hat-tricks
He gave everything for the Rams. Good luck at Notts County, king ๐
#DCFC
Tom Lawrence has had a lot of criticism during his time at Derby, and rightly so at times, but Captain Tom Lawrence seems a completely different player.
Never been so proud to be a ram ๐

Eiran Cashin has shaved his head (and beard!) in support of his mate Lewis who's currently battling Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
Absolutely class from Derby's young player of the season ๐๐ป

Liam Rosenior took over as manager at a newly relegated Derby team with just 5 players.
Since, he's built a squad good enough to compete at the top of League One without spending a penny on transfer fees.
So grateful for all that he's done for this club ๐
#DCFC
Forest reaching the Premier League whilst we're heading down to League One is beyond painful.
But it's worth remembering that the last time we reached the PL, Forest were in League One themselves.
It won't be this way forever, we will be back ๐

Following the re-emergence of the 1886 inspired kit I designed previously, I decided to improve it! ๐
Featuring the club's original colours, this kit would honour the roots of the mighty "๐๐ก๐จ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐๐ฌ" ๐ซ

Imagine being Chris Kirchner watching that, seeing the pride, the passion, and the desire both on and off the pitch.
If that doesn't convince him that he's investing in the right club, I don't know what will! ๐๐

My favourite line from the Rooney documentary:
"There's a lot for me to improve on, a lot for me to learn. I'll try and give the best version of me, and in the long term try and get this club back in the Premier League"
My manager ๐
#DCFC
I just want to take a moment to reflect on all of those we've lost throughout everything that's gone on.
It's heartbreaking to think that so many Derby fans didn't get to see the other side of this nightmare.
On such a celebratory day, let's remember them ๐ค๐

With a goal and an assist tonight, David McGoldrick now has 26 (TWENTY SIX) goal involvements.
He's got 18 goals and 6 assists in all competitions. It's FEBRUARY ๐คฏ

When Dobbin missed those two golden chances, I thought his head would drop.
Instead he pulls out two unbelievable runs and gets two assists in just 60 seconds.
Incredible character and fight. What a win! ๐
#DCFC
If Mike Ashley can take us to mid table in the Premier League from the brink of liquidation he'll be a hero.
Whilst the concerns of Newcastle supporters are justified, he could be exactly what we need at Derby.

Very much enjoyed listening to the EFL getting exposed for 40 straight minutes ๐

Joined Derby at the age of 8.
Made his senior debut at 17.
Came into the team during the club's most difficult time.
Stuck with us after we went down.
Played a huge part in our promotion.
Louie Sibley is Mr Derby County. Thank you for everything Louie ๐

Ebou Adams at the heart of Derby's midfield today:
Most tackles won (5) ๐
Most duels won (10) ๐
Highest dribble success (100%) ๐
Some performance from the general ๐ซก

Relegation is not a surprise. Despite what we had hoped, it's what we all expected from the beginning.
The lads have given everything this season, couldn't have asked for anything more. I'm so proud of every single one of them ๐ค
We are Derby. We will be back. ๐

And THAT is why Derby are going to stay up!
Completely outran, outfought, and outbattled a team that have been listed as play-off favourites. Have that Steve Gibson!
What an incredible performance and insane atmosphere. COME ON YOU RAMS!!!! ๐๐
#DCFC
Craig Forsyth was an absolute TITAN at the back today.
His first start since injury, and he was incredible. Headed, blocked, and cleared everything that came his way.
What a servant, what a player, and what a season he's having!!! ๐
#DCFC
This is Derby's best start to a season in 8 years.
With a brand new team, manager, and without a full pre season, we've managed 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in all competitions.
Sometimes we need to take a step back. The team is nowhere near finished yet. Have patience ๐
#DCFC
We have the worst fans in England I swear. Jozwiak, Ibe, Waghorn, Bielik and CKR all missing and we've lost 1-0 to essentially a Premier League team who haven't conceded all season.
Seeing people calling for Cocu's head after that is pathetic. Get a grip and get some perspective
He's spent the entire season biding his time, waiting for his chance. And boy did he take it today ๐คฉ
Louie Sibley, take a bow son. What a finish to give us a MASSIVE three points ๐ค๐
#DCFC
Festy Ebosele waited and waited for the situation to be sorted, until he was left with no other option but to secure his future elsewhere.
Mel Morris, Stephen Pearce, and Quantuma have done untold damage to this football club. Something needs to be done, and soon ๐ก
#DCFC
Brand new 8x4m

We've currently raised ยฃ1,900.72 after fees, with the flag costing ยฃ759.62. The current plan for the remaining cash is to buy tickets for those that cannot afford it.
THANK YOU

FANS!
Sonny Bradley was an absolute colossus at the back for Derby today.
An incredible defensive display, capped off with a potentially game-saving goal line clearance in the first half!
What a performance! ๐
#DCFC
Mount and Tomori go from playing in the Championship for Derby to playing for England together within 6 months. Crazy progression in their careers ๐ฒ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ
Kenzo Goudmijn is absolutely magic.
His touch, his movement, his vision. He'll be so much better than this level, it's hard to believe he's only 22.
Deserved his goal today. What an inspired signing he's looking to be! ๐
#DCFC
Derby's transfer embargo has been LIFTED, and the club may potentially be able to pay transfer fees for the first time since 2020!
Incredible news! ๐

Ebou Adams, what an incredible signing he's been!
Blackpool tried to stop him, even the ref tried to stop him at times, but his moment of sheer quality won us a MASSIVE three points!
What a player, what a win, COME ON DERBY!!! ๐
