What can we, the fans, do to help at this difficult time?

Supporters are aware that the club is very much up for sale, but what is the plan for the next few years should a takeover not come to fruition?

Upon completing the sale of the club, will it once again have a stadium that it owns?

I would like to submit this non football related question, but one that I feel on a human level should be asked.
Mel, how are you and how is your health?

I think it’s safe to say your local team is definitely a number 2……. 

We’ve got about 6 professional players and our manager is out getting farted on by tarts while having a kip and two-footing our only good contracted player. Jesus wept. 

I think it’s safe to say your local team is definitely a number 2……. 

My local team Union Berlin.

You'll hear the bang all the way from Middlesbrough when Gibson's head exploodes.....

At least with these two we're Covid proofing the backline, seeing as they'll all be double jabbed.

Actually, if you imagine a back three of Davies, Jagielka and Mengi, you would lose very little in the air, you would have two great organisers of the younger players and Mengi's pace to cover behind them. 
That's of course if they can stay fit. 
You could afford to let Byrne and Buchanan press on and you would need Knight and Shinnie to protect them against deep runners, but if we can find the right front three, it might be a solid team. 
We rarely looked like getting hammered last year. We had quite a lot of possession. We just had nothing up front. 
That's our priority area. 
The guys we have are good subs but not sufficient goal threats. 

That's a bit optimistic

If it was concrete, I would suggest more fibre in the diet.

Well yeah, thanks for that stunning insight. Empathy and responsibility though need not be mutually exclusive though, save for in your mind, clearly. Quite amusing that you actually think nobody else can discern that this was not a good piece of business though. I've not actually seen a single post suggesting otherwise, but thank god we have you to point out the sublimely ducking obvious all the same ?

Might be that he needs to be nearer home/friends/family support. Hope he finds a way to get back to enjoying playing.

Except our U21s are now our First team.

This. Get stuck in to 'em at this point.

Even better if you make it an open letter copied to the media and accompanied with a 100k cheque. We just need a coordinating organisation. 

Eaton Ram's reference to Rams Trust has made me wonder whether we could get something out of the EFL through a letter along the lines of the one sent to the Club recently signed by Rams Trust, Punjabi Rams, Ryan Hills etc.  The letter could ask the EFL:
How their approach meets with their stated aim of protecting clubs, particularly in respect of Derby.  Can they give any examples of where they have acted in good faith towards the club? What reassurances they can offer to DCFC staff whose jobs are under threat through the continued uncertainty Can they explain why an accounting technicality should lead to people losing their livelihoods, even when those people have had nothing to do with accounting procedures etc Is it their intention to continually appeal against any decision that does not go their way?  If so, can the explain the moral justification for such an approach? Can they also provide justification for deciding to reject an accounting practice that they had previously accepted when signing off the accounts?  Do they feel any responsibility for having made what they now seem to consider an error, and if so what redress are they making as a result? what, if any responsibility, do they feel towards the fans of DCFC, and do they understand the effect their actions are having on at least some of them? They have been reported to be keen to see Derby relegated.  Can they explain to the Derby fanbase whether this is in fact the case, and if so, their justification for acting in such a way? Etc Etc I think a letter coming from specific groups rather than an individual stands a better chance of getting a response.  That response is very likely to be that it's all Derby's fault, and that people will lose their jobs etc due to the clubs actions etc, they have to be fair to the other clubs blah blah.  However, it may be worth a try?

This seemed to get at least a bit of support in principle. Would for example Rams Trust pick this up? Needs an organisation with existing banking facilities and contacts in the media. If it got going my money would be there before the end of the day. Even if it fails the money could go to the charities named and would still be a positive story where the EFL could be named and shamed. 

Is this just the 5 minute argument or the full half an hour????

Thanks for this. Awesome memories.
It's almost certainly an age/rose-tinted thing, but I have never felt the same about PP as I did about the old ground.
 

In fairness to Malone that's a problem with almost every left back we've had recently. I see what you mean about the running thing and he did look like a guy that shows up uninvited to a house party, tries to sell everyone some weed then starts a fight.

From your headline I presumed he'd been slaughtering cute bunny rabbits and drinking their warm, sweet blood on Tik Tok.
Talk about a non-issue.

It wasn't necessary really but apparently there were some very specific areas of wear, particularly at the back post where opposition strikers have been standing around unchallenged all year.
