Mucker1884 reacted to BramcoteRam84 in Ticket sales and income v businessplan
My understanding is the business plan us as much about restricting Derby’s ability to compete to ensure fairness to the rest of the league than it is about us proving we’re financially stable.
The EFL always bang on about integrity of the competition and if they allowed Derby under a new owner to splash the cash when we’d avoided paying 75% of our non-football debts, other clubs would kick off and it would lead to a precedent of more clubs doing the same thing to dodge paying debts.
-12 points and a dubious -9 for FFP isn’t enough they want to hamper Derby’s ability to compete for 2 years as well.
If we do end up at Wembley and we’re on the verge of winning we do need a rousing chorus of f*** the EFL!!

You've got to remember than Warne has been tasked with righting the magnitude of wrongs under Rosenior's heinous reign though.
He literally never let any of his players pass the ball forward, or to anyone more than 3 yards away from them, instructed the midfield players not to shoot and forced his defenders to give it to the opposition in front of our own goal 4 times every match whilst completely neglecting to do any sort of fitness drills in training.
It should have taken us years to recover, but Warne's done it in under 4 months.

Mucker1884 reacted to Comrade 86 in Chrissy Martin
Not sure that folk on a forum discussing a possible (if somewhat implausible) transfer has any material effect on the club, nor any ability to revert the club to its recent past. There's any amount of reading material for those who would rather focus on the right here, right now too. I've not seen Martin play for a long time and view this link as tenuous in the extreme, not least because of Chris' likely wage requirements, but I've no problem with folk musing on it.
Seems to me, the more folk try to shut down certain topics, the more they crop up and if folk see a thread entitled 'Chris Martin ....', then they can always move to the next topic if they've no interest in reading it.

Don't forget that there was also a newspaper(?) interview where he revealed he slept in Everton jim-jams! ?

Three threads on the same subject is never enough, when the subject is Chris Martin.
I don't care if he comes back or not, but I'd love to see a lot more separate threads on it. ?

Well it was a leap year. That’s special.
Thanks calculator.

Meh! What's so special about 1184 anyway?
Apart from King Henry II encouraging his youngest (and favorite) son John to seize Aquitaine from his brother Richard, and that serious fire damaging Glastonbury Abbey, it was pretty much a rather drab year! ?
*Thanks, Google.

Mucker1884 got a reaction from SKRam in Paul Warne appointed as Head Coach
I don’t even know what this implies, but literally today… 2 days after my 60th birthday… I bought my first ever bobble hat! ?
Is it infatuation, or mere coincidence? ?♂️

Mucker1884 got a reaction from David Graham Brown in Ticket sales and income v businessplan
Word on the street is that The EFL *MIGHT* consider reviewing the terms of the business plan in the close season.
But even if they do decide to review it, any amendments/relaxations may well depend on what mood certain people are on the day.
It's still a possibility that one of us may not only have to sleep with Rick Parry, but also serve up a bostin' breakfast too, if we are to see any leniency!

Mucker1884 got a reaction from uttoxram75 in Pride Park Stadium
I’ve always been of the understanding that the original structure… specifically of the North/East/South horseshoe… was designed with a potential extension in mind, so it should be up to the job structurally, one would think? (To take the additional weight if the solar panels).
maybe new roof cladding required at most? ?♂️
You’d also presume someone in Mr Clowes’ position to already have the best contacts in place, to get him the answers he’s needing.
All sounds a great idea, so fingers crossed this progresses. ?

I was thinking that about Mr Clowes, he's in the trade so will know a bit about it and have the contacts.
