Nah he’s not going back, he’s a keeper.

We're going down with Derby

At least we won't lose by an innings ?

The first and last time this season we will be in the top half

Are this lot relegated yet?

He certainly wouldn't have, if he'd stayed at Forest

Our academy has been the consistent positive coming from the club over the past 20 years. It's up for debate whether the purpose of the academy is to produce a constant flow of players for the first team or players who can be sold for big money that keeps the club going. 
Forests ticks both boxes really. It has probably brought in £70/80m in revenue over that time and has produced loads of players for the first team. Worrall will be the next one sold I imagine. Or Mighten.
Over the last 6/7 years alone we've produced and then sold Bamford, Appiah, Brereton, Burke, Osborn, Cash, Darlow and Lascelles. And then you add in the golden generation of the late 90s, early 00s and it's one of the most prolific academies in the country this century.

Sibley can’t get a game. Bird can’t kick a ball properly. Buchanan is mocked by significant numbers on here. Knight already burned out and ready to drop down the leagues to find his level. 
 
Guarantee that Gordon and Delap won’t be any better than Mason Bennett. 
 
Hendrick is a success story. Lowe can’t get a game and we purchased Bogle! 
 

One produced 20 years ago and the other 10. Hmmm. 

£125m for being the worst team in the league.
Just let that sink in.
One hundred and twenty five million pounds for being crap.
That’s 3 clubs coming down with a total of £381m, but that’s not all, the Premier League will also give them parachute payments to soften the blow.
Sorry to start another topic on this, but it’s a topic that needs to be repeated, football is broken. It’s broken and they are doing nothing about it. Why?
We have to try and compete with those 3 next year, with barely any revenue we have to compete against clubs with over £100m in their back pockets.
What hope do we have?
Yes I know money doesn’t always = success, Brentford beat Bournemouth, made it to Wembley but how many years have they been trying to get there? 
Whoever goes up it’s a major achievement, getting past the parachute payment clubs, it’s huge, one season up there and they have banked over £100m, it’s madness.
We can never have a completely level playing field, I understand that, but the PL and EFL could come together and distribute that money out more fairly.
Why are they not?
Why are these questions not being asked?
Do we need to see more clubs liquidated, more clubs going bankrupt trying to compete from the Championship to League 2, all the national media journalists will be all over that, justice for Bury, why not call it out now? 
Heads are so far up the Premier League’s backside the Football League barely gets a mention.
I’m ranting I know, but £125m for being crap. 
Who signs off on that and thinks it’s good for football? 
It’s broken, football is broken.

Obviously he's got his man u kit on underneath so he can "do a Terry".... ?

Clearly some ffp wheeze dreamed up by demis roussos. 
Change grabbans name by deed poll to gribben, shave off his face pubes and pass him off as a 17 year old academy product. 
Voilà - all costs now allowable ?
Rinse and repeat..... Glenn moray, brice simba, Jack calbock.... Welcome to the class of 22...

I assume the category 1 relates to some sort of maximum security facility

Don’t be too disappointed with @eezzeetigerreaction. He probably did try to press ❤️ rather than ? but it must be bloody difficult with a six fingered hand and his two sisters sitting on each knee.

Exactly this for me ... yes this is what it’s all about. DCFC supporter since boyhood. Now a bloke pushing 60 and yes my head tells me we are in a mess, a shambles of a club & the big time is as far away as it’s ever been BUT to follow the Rams is in your blood and if there’s nothing to strive for, to dream to achieve then what is the point. To look forward to the days when you can introduce the mighty Rams to the grandkids and accompany them to the games, to see the excitement on their faces, this is what I look forward to. Yes, I may be a sentimental old fool but it’s the escapism from the stress & strains of everyday life that draws you to the dream. Is my heart ruling my head ABSOLUTELY .... but if the dreams & aspirations are nothing but fantasy and we accept that they are a million miles away then what is the point??

oh please don't let a sense of balance get in the way of irrational hatred

Aye, hope they are prepared for only one good decision out of every ten he makes. ?

Couldn't help but snicker..

Well this season has been no picnic, on fact it's really took the biscuit

Would Boost the finances

This thread is turning into a Marathon 

Give me a break

Have we got more than one stadium ?

We have never had a problem attracting mad owners

I have been forbidden posting on any other thread, so i can't really respond...
 
Perhaps Daveo, might want to relax this ban, now that you are safe from relegation, 
 
Boycie - please have a word
