Not knowing the bloke, can only guess, but with all these people telling him he could have walked after last season, head held high after keeping us up.
Maybe he sees just surviving not enough, he wants more than that, either way like him or not, as you say he does deserve credit. 
It's been an immensely difficult job, especially the first in management. 

I get this I also feel the claims that he undermined Cocu just to get the job extremely odd.  Yeh the multi million footballer with a worldwide brand gets here and thinks my god I must do everything to get this gig it is the best thing in football makes no sense to me.  Not sure what we have done to deserve his loyalty throughout the mess this club has become but he deserves credit at least for not abandoning us.

Full 90 replays for RamsTV subscribers are usually on the next day after a game. Not sure about extended highlights for membership holders. 

If we get a points deduction of -12 then we'll have to try and find 59 points. A feat that this squad and manager simply aren't going to be capable of unless something drastically changes. I'm not even optimistic we'd survive a -6 point deduction at this point. But, as I said in a previous post I think the likelihood of us going down is probably 50/50 as it is anyway. The lack of squad depth enforced via the embargo meant it was essential we got off to a good start, get points on the board and then as we falter as the grind begins it'll be a softer landing. But we haven't done that really and have only managed 1 win from 7 games and 4 of them have been against teams in the bottom 6. 

what a relief, I was quite worried before your reassuring post?

Derby County in Europe.

it's not a tug of war, now look what you've done. I'm not speaking to you now?

somebody behind me?

Loving this season as we wave to each other across opposite sides of the swirling flushing toilet of doom. It’s a race to see who can lose by the least goals each week at the moment. We should both be proud of the fact that we didn’t ship 3. Yay for us. 

we all knew this at the time and this probably a big reason why the tribunal rejected it.  That and suggesting he accepted a new reduced contract which looked like gaming the situation to reduce costs.  Gross misconduct is go away and never some back, trying to soften it undermines the charge

DC1
The Club responded on 25 April 2018, enclosing a revised P&S Appendix 1 Form That revised P&S Appendix 1 Form recorded
a) A loss before tax for T-2 (year to 30 June 2016) of £14,725,000 with Adjusted Earnings Before Tax of (-£15,271,000)17 b) A loss before tax for T-1 (year to 30 June 2017) of £7,873,000 with Adjusted Earnings Before Tax of (-£4,686,000) c) A forecast loss before tax for T (year to 30 June 2018) of £27,445,000 with Adjusted Earnings Before Tax of (-£23,970,000) The Club’s actual/forecast aggregated loss before tax for T, T-1 and T-2 was thus still £50,043,000, but its actual/forecast Adjusted Earnings Before Tax for T, T-1 and T-2 had become (-£43,927,000). That aggregate figure for Adjusted Earnings Before Tax had thus become a figure in excess of the LLT and the ULT
70) On 4 May 2018 the EFL wrote to the Club a) With further queries about its P&S Information, and b) To advise that, since the revised P&S Appendix 1 Form showed a breach of the P&S Requirement (because the aggregate figure for Adjusted Earnings Before Tax exceeded the ULT), the Club would be placed under a registration embargo pursuant to EFL Regulation 16.20. 71) The Club continued to address the EFL’s queries. It also began to consider what steps it might take before the end of the year ended 30 June 2018 (i.e. T) to avoid breaching the aggregate ULT for T, T-1 and T-2. The steps that it took comprised 2 strands: a) It began to negotiate to sell players to other clubs b) It decided in principle to sell Pride Park to Mr Morris. As we have set above, Mr Morris was by that time already interested in developing Pride Park as a ‘stand-alone’ venture.

they have very much said that they only want to review the charges not the result of any proven charges, hence the demand to restate.  I presume that don't want to get into they matter of what is compliant if they don't have to.  We will see but I suspect that this will not end up back with DC.  

To me, DC2 reads very much to me like they know the LAP are wrong, but they just can't do anything about it. 
I suppose it's telling that DC2 doesn't seem to specify how we restate the accounts, only that we have to (and they must be FRS102 compliant). You could argue that if they had decided that straight-line was the only acceptable way, they would have mandated it in the ruling.

For an accountant and auditor of 23 years you are being disingenuous with that comment. The change in amortisation policy created extra headroom for spend (and losses) in the P&S calculations for a season or two, at a time when Morris was happy to throw his cash at everything, and am I not right in saying when the club took a big hit at the end of a number of players contracts (Johnson, Anya, Butterfield) thats when the clever Stadium revaluation took place?

good points as usual.  I interpreted that they didn't cross examine him because no new evidence is allowed in an appeal?
the lack of our own expert witness was picked up by LAP wasn't it?

Should have phrased it better,you only have to be seen to seek an advantage, whether you do or not is irrelevant.

If we gained no advantaged though why TF has this torture been endured.  It makes no sense to me at all.  We chose an alternative unique method and we gained no advantage?????

Professor Pope

not sure the newer generations had the 'up bringing' that we had to experience.  It is all very good until you meet this sort of trouble which I think in the main is quite rare thankfully.  I am sure we are no longer a warrior nation

You do feel they should be practicing their finishing before they practice their celebrations. 

Jump over the sofa? Barely? Quite a few would need a lot of practice to do that.  Some can’t even get off the sofa?
yep genes are key, I’ve always been a sprinter and still run internationally at over 60.  Some of the ex Olympians can still outrun the vast majority of men 40 years younger.
being professional footballers will mean they will practice their celebrations though.  Not sure ours bother with it, so unlikely
 

This is one of our longest stints or even the longest stint we’ve had in the second tier in our history. If it isn’t the longest then it’s second only to the 1950s/1960s. We’ve only been in the third division 5 seasons in our entire history.
I would say we are underperforming.
The issue is we are underperforming at the worst possible time as the last 10 years has seen huge money roll into the top division that is being unfairly distributed, therefore this 10 years might reset the status quo for the future of Football, and clubs like Burnley Brighton Watford Norwich Fulham Bournemouth Palace Brentford regularly compete for the Premier League and we become irrelevant as regards the top level.

It’s genetics really. Fast twitch muscle fibers. Aside from being footballers, many are athletic enough they could compete in other sporte as well.
I have a friend who does all that parkour stuff. He didn’t train for it at all and can naturally do backflips and all that. His dad was a gymnast, so good genes.
A test of muscle fibers is to just do a standing jump, two feet, to see how high you can go. Some can naturally jump 1.5m+ whereas others can barely jump the sofa.
Of course you can learn gymnastics from a young age and it may take years to get there. For others, genetically gifted, it’s natural.
Just like sprint speed.
