What we need more than clarity is two centre halves (and a few other players).
The situation seems quite clear to me. We are under embargo and probably won't be out of it until after the transfer window closes; we are therefore limited to a few free transfers; the club is for sale and it doesn't seem like anybody wants to buy it. Whatever your opinion is of Rooney, his hands are obviously tied and I doubt Sir Alex Ferguson could do much with what we have. It is a mess. However, I'm not sure daily reports from the club confirming its a mess will do much good really. 
 

Mental to see the players who have left and the EFL will allow us to bring 4 in ?
Honestly we may as well ask the EFL to relegate us now and wipe the slate clean and let us have a go at it in league 1, at least we will be 1 year ahead in the inevitable rebuild.

Imagine the length of the team talks though...

We'd be lining up to criticise when he'd just give one of his looks and all would be forgiven. 

Past. Present. Proud. New 21/22 Home Kits available now.

Well, that was a brief thread.

Understand - and agree - with the principle, but sprinkle a little context in here and maybe Mel derserves a little more slack.  Times have changed even since his tenure began; EFL attitude & approach, the commercial perils of running an 'entertainment' business in these uncertain times to name a couple of mitigating factors.  Not offering excuses here, just saying it's never as 'black and white' (pardon the pun) as it may at first seem, imho.

A mate of mine lived on the same street as him and reckoned that this lad dobbed him in to the council over leaving his bins out.
He was wrong though - it turned out that the grass wasn't Greener

Mar-a-lago is just over an hour away from Miami.
 
Make Derby Great Again.

I don't care who the sponsor is as long as they put a decent amount of money into the club. 

Not read the entire thread or reaction to this evening’s news, so this has probably already been said, but the EFL do come out of this - from their statement - as looking particularly graceless, petty and ever so slightly childish.
 
Don’t suppose we’re going to get away scot free as the resubmission of the accounts will probably open a new can of worms, but at least we know what division we’ll be in, which is a tiny bit of light in otherwise pitch dark days.

If i cancelled my ticket it wouldnt be because of the club it would be down to personal circumstances

I wrote my comment because I think posters need to recognise that not everyone has the same capacity as them. 
I think that the general tone of the Forum recently is greatly influenced by a few posters who are not only aware of their effect on others but take a certain delight in doing so. If I had my way, I would have removed them long ago but we have to tolerate all opinions. I have made a lousy moderator for this reason.
Now if you disagree with my assessment,  that's fine, but I find the forum a depressing place to be in recent months not because of the football but because of certain posters piling in with rhetoric that is not considered or balanced. I know from the circle of people that I speak to face to face, that they are discouraged from posting because of this. Me too. Now some would say that's no great loss and I would agree! 
What I am saying is that if the Forum makes me feel like this, then it must make others likewise. I have spoken privately with people who think the club is going into administration because they have read it on here and that this will be the end of their club for ever. 
They read and are affected by hysteria. That's what I think it is. I don't think it's healthy and I am trying to point that out. Maybe the problem is mine.

I have emailed the sports minister and the football governance review body and my local MP, in case Crouchy won’t deal with my email as I’m not a constituent.
I think all Rams fans should do the same, as the EFL is out of control and not showing any fairness in its approach.
Every bit helps !!
 
I would ask you urgently to intervene in the witch-hunt being undertaken by the EFL towards my football club, Derby County. 
Having been fined £100 000 yesterday and warned re future accounting practices, following investigation by an independent panel ( for the second time), the EFL continue to press for a points deduction, with an unprecedented aim to relegate the club after the season has finished.
What is the point of an independent panel if its decision is not respected by the regulator ?
I feel the EFL is out of control, is being heavily influenced by third parties and is therefore not acting in a fair and unbiased way.
The EFL needs to be warned by the government about its behaviour towards its member clubs. Currently its approach is verging on bullying and I suspect it will end in the High Court, with the destruction of a founder member of the football league and hundreds of associated redundancies.

Probably the time to stop panicking (although I’d say, more the time to stop being anxious) is when a line has been drawn under the whole sorry mess and we can start again.
 
If that’s from League 1 then so be it. Other clubs are, and have been, in such circumstances and survived (or even prospered).  I wouldn’t want it or relish it, but it wouldn’t stop me going. It might even be quite interesting to see something a bit different.  
 
Either way, I just wish we’d get to a point where it’s sorted; there are no more appeals, no more charges and no more uncertainty. We cant move on until then.

The EFL could now just say ‘ok, we got what we wanted, a clear ruling that how DCFC did the accounting is wrong and the club have been punished. That’s an end to it’.  That way they keep a big club in the Championship and save face. Not really sure what’s in it for them by relegating Derby and Sheff Wed (two of the biggest teams in the EFL) and keeping Wycombe up. An odd business decision.
