Even by Derby County's standards, the last few days have been the definition of whirlwind.
The Rams saw manager Wayne Rooney depart the club on Friday, just as genuine hope began to emerge over yet another takeover. Sunday then saw Liam Rosenior appointed Rooney's replacement, at least in the interim, before another positive bit of news dropped: David Clowes' bid to buy the troubled club had been accepted.
The hope is now that the deal will go through, with Clowes indicating Wednesday as the much-hoped-for day of destiny. Before then there will doubtless be more fretting for Derby supporters to endure.
