Unfortunately we live in a world with far too many people that want everything now, and have little respect for anything. Straight to the jugular to criticise anything after an event, but these people are usually the same people that say nothing in a workplace when planning events, planning work and are all over it, if anything fails to live up to expectation. “oh you should have done this, he should have done that, she should have done that etc, but these are the same people that offer absolutely nothing when the workplace asks them at the planning events, planning meetings for the work, with ideas, recommendations, lessons learned, solutions that would help make the event or work successful.
I can see when David Clowes and Paul Warne joined that both have and will get the good good people into Derby County Football Club and have and will make it successful because the people around them stand up and contribute at all the planning meetings and events because good people have patience, respect, and commitment to work in all areas of the club, community to build and when certain results are not achieved or met at certain times, the good good people work together, they don’t go straight for anyone’s jugular and hang them out to dry or terminate their contracts or make them redundant, they look at the bigger picture and concentrate on all the positives achieved so far, and work together to eradicate any negatives they can see as a team and make the improvements individually, collectively and as a team with respect, patience, support and good will.
So I’ll continue to love and support David Clowes, Paul Warne, James Collins and everyone that wears the Derby County Ram with Pride & Respect. 🖤
PS…..Absolutely p1ssing it down today with strong winds in Aberdeenshire, trees down all over the place, trains cancelled, but I certainly will not criticise anyone or anything for the weather, it’s weather it’s what weather can do, it’s not sunny everyday in the UK, it’s weather, and the weather also has to be respected, and with patience, and trust in the good good people that have to try and make it a successful and safe place for us all to enjoy our lives, that is what I will do 🐏 🖤 🌞
 
 
 

We don't know that the option has not already been activated.
It's the same situation as we had with Jason Knight last season and there was no announcement that his option had been activated until the retained list was announced in the summer.

I like the idea of going back to the 1997 season.  The idea of watching Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal in meaningful games every week is appealing.  But I hated the 2007/08 season with a passion and would rather the Championship to that.
If we were in the running to go to EPL I'd be dead in favour, but where we are now - as it is a world away - I'm with you.

He would be looking at a long term push.  We would probably look for two or three years in Championship to solidify.  
This strategy is all or nothing; it is exactly Mel's thinking.  If you go up, it is inspired.  It would have been inspired had Mel succeeded.  But he didn't.  We are where we are because he didn't. 
The play off final: had we won that, Mel would probably be up their with Pickering as a great owner.  It is nicer having a club that will definitely exist to that lottery.    

He's the best type - an alchemist.    

Neither has the criticism Warne has faced.

Yep - 6th to 5th.

Not for me thanks.
Find it much more appealing to have a local good guy trying to make us a sustainable club, over a billionaire treating us like their train set.

As someone put it well on here earlier: he is paid for his assists not to score goals.  Must have been concerned he'd be docked wages 🙂

The manager has picked a side that’s currently winning 3-0 away from home. NML is part of a team that’s on a winning run in the league that looks to be 5 games on the bounce, scoring 13 and conceding 1 (so far) on that run. NML isn’t our only player as good as he is and at this point I don’t mind Bradley getting minutes if it means a rest for another player. 

Score, not result...
Let's not tempt fate 🙂

Tyrese a jolly good fellow

Midweek.  

It was Rocky 1.
 
Apollo Creed, clearly the better boxer.Throughout the entire fight he's showing that he's clearly superior and Rocky just takes punch after punch after punch. Gets his little pasty ass beaten hard. But through grit and determination Rocky gets a lucky knockdown on Apollo and takes it to the wire and wins over the crowd, but unfortunately does not come out on top.
 
We were Apollo Creed. Kindof.

Equaliser!!!!!

Warne making sure there's no additional cup prize or TV money that could help Clowes sack him

"James Collins the first fresh face to come on".
Just what you want to hear.

Dreadful picture quality.  

oops.  

Losses are deductible, yes. 

This is Mel Mk2. Gambled for the prem out millions in, failed left with big wages for years similarly chopped and changed managers. Only difference is Mel didn’t ask the fans to put money in he just put us into administration.
They need a credible buyer and quick or they will follow the same path as us. 
 
It also brings into focus the importance of being patient and doing things on a budget. We need a long term sustainable plan for success, problem is people are struggling to see the long term plan with this manager right now 

I understand that when the football isn’t pretty, and the league position is dire, football fans will inevitably lash out. However, I am amazed that there are a good number on here tonight slating our owner. This is a staggering state of affairs even for our club, only some 15 months since he saved us.  Cool it down lads. 

If we can get home ones we really are flying.
