Sheff Ram

Mel will bring in a top lawyer for the appeal.
He will fight this.
Mel is rumoured to be asking circa 50 million for the club.
Assuming the club is relegated then I would value Derby at 20 million.
The delay in finding new owners could well be connected to this.
Derby have the right to appeal.
I thought that the original decision thar found in favour of the club still stands. Only part of the decision that changed related to the amortisation of the players.
Mel probably doesn't want to see 30 million knocked of the value of the club and so will appeal against the decision if it leads to relegation to league one.
Mel decision to bring in Rooney back fired because a more experienced manager could have meant the club gained more points and then any points deduction  would not have been the issue it has potential to be.
Imagine under an experienced manager Derby had gained 50% more points than under Rooney.
In my opinion Mel brought Rooney in as a name to help sell the club, that has not worked.
Had Derby achieved 50% more points last season, there would be no relegation issue and perhaps more chance of finding new owners.
If Derby are relegated, I dont see Rooney as the best option to promote the club next season.

How many more clubs are the EFL going to forcibly attempt to send into liquidation once they finally move on from us?
Their failings as an organisation have seen the end or became within a whisker of seeing the end of a handful already, there's no sign of of any conscience or sense of responsibility from them though.
They'd rather sacrifice an entire club with over 120 years of history to appease one or two playing crybaby on the assumption that we've somehow gained an advantage over them (an advantage that in reality we haven't. even. bloody. gained) and save face by constantly appealing until they get someone to tell them they're 'right'... but that's not enough, no, they then want to appeal and appeal and appeal until someone finally agrees to implement their ridiculously OTT punishment.
They've already cost us far more than anything our methods could possibly have cost anyone else.
Protecting your member clubs my arse. They don't even know the meaning of the word. Absolute ducking scum more akin to the mafia than a sporting body.

I'm all for realism and all that but you really are in the glass half empty camp...

What a warrior. He actually lives behind me. I could hedge hop through one garden and be standing outside his window, showing him my appreciation.

Discussion points:
Roos over Marshall: tough call. Would have gone Roos.
Fozzy over Buchanan: experience over youth. Another tough call. Buchanan for me.
Roberts and Waghorn over Sibley and Jozwiak: thought Kamal did well at Swansea and Sibley worth a start
 

Please win Derby. Being a Rams fan after you've lost such a pivotal game living in Sheffield is double pain.
 

If we are then we are... you can change for friends, your job and your girlfriend (or boyfriend) you can’t change your football team. No matter what I will always be Derby County as you and every poster on this forum will be. The owners will change, the managers will change, the players will change... we will always be here.

No change there then!

No change there then!

No change there then!

No change there then!

No change there then!

On that basis, Leeds have done really well.

No change there then!

No change there then!

Greetings from Sheffield, fellow Rams Sufferers. Sheff Ram here. Very long time no post. Sick of all the numpties on FB so back on here to find solstice with the flock and your wonderful gallows humour. Fingers crossed we can have a thread of hope to cling to...

Carry on like this and I'll be starting a chant of "ONE STEVIE GIBSON, THERE'S ONLY ONE STEVIE GIBSON"
