We my be enjoying an international break at the moment, but the club have been very busy in many different areas.
First of all local entrepreneur Mel Morris took full ownership of the club. The self made millionaire who is also a genuine fan, bought out G.S.E. to become sole owner.
G.S.E. have had their critics over the years, however most of us were eventually won over when they put the club back into a healthy financial state.
A special shout out to Brett Wilson who often interacted with fans.
The transfer deadline day proved to be one of the most interesting in years for Rams fans. Not only was the signing of Jacob Butterfield secured for £4m, but a bonus was the unexpected capture from Norwich of Bradley Johnson for £6m.
Mr Morris certainly hasn't wasted any time in opening his wallet. Such was the surprise in adding Johnson to the playing staff, Norwich fans were left agasp on social media and many vented anger at the decision to cash in on him.
Away from the first team news, fans then were treated to the announcement and unveiling of a Dave Mackay statue. A special memorial to a man who was a legend both as a player and manager at Derby. Fantastic to see such a fitting tribute to the great man who passed away earlier this year.
Finally, the inevitable third kit was revealed to fans. A Sky Blue based outfit that has largely got the thumbs up from the fans. Do we really need one is the question that comes to mind when you see the colours of the away kit?
