Here we are, administrators in, massive points deduction, an estimated £50m or whatever in debt, unable to pay wages. And then we read in the Teesside Gazette that Steve Gibson is suing Derby County. https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/middlesbrough-Derby-rooney-mel-morris-21660410
His gripe is that Mel sold the stadium to another of Mel's companies (accepted as OK by the League because not every club owns their stadium and you can't force a club to) and that Derby loaned Matt Clarke when Gibson wanted him to go to Middlesbrough.
Of course claims such as these are manifestly absurd and would normally be laughed out of court. But the problem is it's inconceivable that the Derby Administrators can also afford to pay lawyers to fight the Middlesboro Chairman. Equally, it's inconceivable that Derby could afford any additional fines the courts might impose.
The sole purpose of this can only be to ensure the end of Derby County as a football club. Nothing less. The entire football world including honest Middlesbrough fans should be outraged by this behaviour and condemn it in the strongest possible terms. The club can't afford to fight this, so it's up to us fans to shame Gibson into stopping this despicable course of action.

Have you read the thread?  It's about coming from -12, and yet still finishing above them.  The season overall.  We hammered them over a season.  Individual games don't even come into the equat... oh what's the point!  My artistic skills are wasted with you lot.  Sometimes I think you don't even deserve me!  I don't think you appreciate just how many hours I sat at my piano composing that masterpiece for you all!  Grr!  @Philmycock?  You'll Phil the back of my hand, with any more comments like that!  Grr again!  ... And what's that @RadioactiveWaste laughing at?  He's no bloody better.  You deserve each other!  Double Grrr!   Tut.  Oh... and... ?
 
 
... and... breathe.

Well that was plain to see.  I've known for a while, if truth be told.  Was just playing hard to get, tis all!  ?

I'm only jesting, I've a man crush on you ? 

They couldn't even organise a protest last time we were in the mire

We hammered them 1-1 ?

I posted on one of the Derby pages on Facebook earlier that there was over 10,000 tickets left for the Reading game   the first reply was "and your point is"

Administrators have just said that an extra 5000 tickets sold will make a massive difference to keeping the short term cash flow running, priority is to pay off HMRC who will hopefully do as they did for Wigan and Bolton and accept 25p or 30p in the pound, they are getting finance together to pay that off, making us very attractive to purchase !! so come on lets do our bit for our club !!! winning this is far bigger than winning at Wembley so dust off your shirts and get buying tickets all those that clammered for a ticket to London and the streets that were paved with gold !!!!
this is no fairytale its real so get behind our club !! COYR !!!!!!!!!!!

The local S&M club shut down, supporting Derby was the next best thing.
