Curtains

It's @Curtains for Rooney.
Or is that Rooney for @Curtains?

Lewis Hamilton is the best driver of all time.

He's one of the best. It's always difficult to compare between eras, the cars and regs are different now to when Schumacher was dominant, but when Schumacher was dominant it was different to the Senna/Prost years, which were different to Jackie Stewart or Jim Clarke's time. 
He is an all time great. Possibly the greatest, his shout is as good as anyone's and better than probably everyone's.

Maybe not a great comparison, so apologies, but when I look at how the EFL has conducted itself over the last few years and in particular with Derby they remind me of FIFA, or in particular Sepp Blatter.  Someone who orchestrated things to his benefit.  For decades he abused his position and it took years for him to finally be called out, eventually being done for a "breach of rules concerning duty of loyalty, conflicts of interest and offering or accepting gifts or other benefits". I think his buddy Valcke did similar. I also think this was the tip of the iceberg and many officials go away scot-free.  Now I'm not saying the EFL are doing exactly the same, but in principle, from everything I see, they're abusing their power, they're showing zero duty of loyalty to their members and appear to be on some sort of personal crusade to destroy one of the league's member clubs, for not making absolutely clear in their accounting notes what they had done, despite what they had done having been sanctioned by the EFL themselves so in theory they should have known what they were looking at in the first place.
Mel instigated a challenge to their power by seeking to unite all 72 clubs in asking the EFL to address a view that they weren't representing their clubs in the best way.  He also challenged the money flow for TV rights, again with the view this wasn't in the best interests of the member clubs. I believe that this, more than anything else totally riled the pompous buffoons at the EFL, who, like Blatter no doubt live a great lifestyle and don't want their power challenged to the extent they've made it a personal goal to see Mel, and unfortunately Derby destroyed. The irony is Mel was probably demonstrating the values the EFL should be following, but aren't.  Love him or hate him I do believe he's always had the best interests of this club at heart.
If we can sell, meaning Mel moves off the scene, they maybe, just maybe, some status quo will be achieved and we can go back to focusing on playing football, re-building this club, making news for what we do on the pitch, not off it, and maybe one day, in the not too distant future, getting back into the PL. 

I’m quite encouraged about the Academy at the moment to be honest. 
 
The U23s have been very competitive lately .
The Academy players have to be introduced into the first team at some time or other or go on loan .
I am more confident than most it would seem about next season 
 

I think at times Mel has been naive in his thinking about the Academy and the first team but in retrospect it’s all down to the cost of running a competitive Championship team without promotion to the Premier League. 
 
I really think me included we have been harsh on Mel. 
 
Not getting promotion has ultimately cost DCFC but all is not lost .

I have had my issues with Mel regarding the Academy and the 5 player dictate .
It was a statement he maybe would have been better not making .
It is naive to think the Academy project has all the answers but there is no doubt it has kept the club afloat though recently by us getting big fees for the likes of Bogle,Whitaker and Lowe.

Its not very easy being a Derbyshire supporter.
 

Sounds ominous.

Efl had in for many years now I do think gibson still threatening to sue efl if they dont find us guilty.

No he is to be fair. 
 
There isn’t much gets past him .

Now I know you aren’t serious.

Things looked different back in October 2020. 
 

I don’t understand how a successful appeal against a points deduction, that hasn’t been imposed yet, could be contingent on a new owner. 
 
If we’ve broken the rules with a past misdemeanour what difference does it make, in terms of our punishment, who the owner will be going forward?
