Nigel Clough described the season as being "Frustratingly close to being in the top six (but) we were also very pleased with the level of performances, home and away."[1] Steve Nicholson of the Derby Telegraph added that Derby's 10th-placed finish was "thoroughly deserved" and noted that only the small size of the squad, combined with injuries and a lack of signings in the January transfer window, meant that the club did not qualify for the playoffs. He also praised Derby's home form, their best in six years, and noted that "foundations are in place" for a top six finish.[2][3]
Six of Derby's players featured in the Actim Index's top 100 players for the 2012–13 Football League Championship; Richard Keogh (19), Paul Coutts (37), Jeff Hendrick (58), Conor Sammon (61), Craig Bryson (84) and Jamie Ward (87).[4]
Team kit
editOn 15 June 2012, Derby County confirmed that Kappa would take over from Adidas as the club's kit supplier, the deal would last until the 2017–18 season.[5] The club's new kit designs were released later in the summer.[5] Derby's away kit design was released on 1 July 2012, an all back design with hints of orange from the kit sponsor buymobiles.net and Kappa, the club also reverted to showing the traditional Ram on the shirt, rather than the full club logo.[6]
The home kit design was released on 16 July 2012, earlier than anticipated due to a website error which leaked to kit designs early.[7] Like the away kit, the traditional Ram instead of the club's logo was on the shirt with kit colours being the traditional white shirts and black shorts.[7] The kit was first worn by the team in the home pre-season friendly against Sunderland,[7] with kit going on general sale from 17 August 2012, a day before the start of the league season.[7]

Jake Buxton and Gareth Roberts signed new contract to the length of two years and one year respectively.[8] The club also entered into contract talks with Paul Green, whose contract expired at the end of the season and who had attracted interest from Leeds United, among others.[9] The club gave Green until April 2012 to respond.[10] Green rejected Derby's contract offer on 20 April and left the club in the summer.[11] Rams coach Johnny Metgod stated that the club were also in contract talks with Jamie Ward whose contract ended in the summer of 2013.[12] Ward signed a new two-year contract, with an option for a further year which will extend his stay at Derby until at least the summer of 2014.[13] Lee Croft and Miles Addison, both with one year left on their contract, were told that they were free to leave the club in the summer.[14] Defender and captain Shaun Barker, who was injured in a 1–0 win against Nottingham Forest in March 2012 is set to miss the season due to injuries to his medial, anterior cruciate and posterior cruciate ligaments.[15] Barker remains optimistic for a full recovery.[16]
In April 2012 the club finally ended their interest in appointing a director of football,[17] something the club had been considering since May 2011.[18] This meant Derby manager Nigel Clough retained control of the club's player recruitment policy and he was keen to add to his squad, stating a desire to sign a striker and younger left back to cover for Gareth Roberts.[19] Derby said that they expected season ticket sales to be at 15,000 by the end of the early bird deadline on 15 April, down by 2,500 on total season ticket sales compared to 2011–12, CEO Tom Glick was happy with the figures and predicted total season ticket sales to be similar to the previous season.[20] Season ticket prices had increased for the first time in seven seasons.[20] Derby also launched "demand-based ticketing" for single match tickets, with ticket prices fluctuating based on several factors such as local rivalries, team performance, time of the day etc. Derby are the first club to introduced this style of matchday pricing which is popular in North American sports.[21] The club also announced the scoreboard in the stadium would be replaced by a large screen television, which would help improve advertising revenues and show action replays of key moments in the game as well as scores from other games.[22] On 29 May 2012, it was announced that Derby's Chief Executive Tom Glick was leaving the club to take up a Chief Commercial and Operating Officer role at Premier League champions Manchester City.[23] Glick remained in his role at Derby during pre-season.[24]

And then when everyone was starting back for pre-season he decided to go to Ibiza with his mates for five days."[51] Derby made an enquiry for Preston North End outcast[52] Paul Coutts.[52] After the enquiry was accepted, Derby started talks with Coutts[53] and the Scot joined the club on a three-year contract[54] for a reported fee of £150,000.[55] Ross Atkins rejoined Burton Albion on loan, after spending the previous season at the League Two club.[56]
