Ghost of Clough

Iirc, if we had used a standard amortisation policy, we would have only failed the 3 years to 2018 by about £2.5m.. that's equivalent to something like 4 points.
Still, I find it extremely unlikely based on the evidence from the original hearing.

Yeah, you're dead right ?
 

18/19 figures were stated in the original EFL decision document. A massive £25.1m figure was stated for the amortisation iirc

Thought Waggy was great today, both on and off the pitch. I loved his cheerleading of the defence from the sidelines almost as much as his heroics on the field.
His son plays in our academy and on Instagram both always seem very proud of their club. 
His poor form this season has been in marked contrast to his usual  bubbly persona, so I am pleased to be able to say something positive again. He's a great guy.
Honorable mention to young Festy Ebosele too, taking a booking for the team despite not getting on in the game. A true Ram in the making! 

One point all season ain't good!

Really don’t understand people kicking off about Roos starting. Marshall has been dreadful since he came back from injury in January 

£10m less revenue for the year, cancelled out by sales such as Lawrence, Jozwiak, Byrne, and if absolutely necessary the academy graduates.
I've shown my workings out for cash flow many times over the past few months and I struggle to see how it results in administration. That remains the case until we no longer have assets (players) to sell.
To keep us going to the transfer window, Mel needs to find about £500k pw - he has stated he will cover that.

Mel said less than 3 months ago that he will continue to bankroll the club until a new owner is in place. How often do we need him to say this? 

We have always been the one tonpay him. However, our sponsorship income increased on the back of Rooney joining as a player. Who knows what, if anything, changed when he became manager.

Sorry, like most of our squad, I'm injured

Seeing as Mrs Lurker had decided to watch episodes 1 to 463 of Schitt's Creek tonight, I watched this, effectively for free on Bin Dippers FC's TV channel.  The final score of 3 - 0 reflected Liverpool's superiority, although on chances a score line of 4 - 2 would probably have been more accurate.   Kade Gordon showed himself to be a class act, but was helped by some lousy defending from us both for his goal and also the third one.  Our players thought the second goal was offside (or possibly handball) but unfortunately the ref didn't.  
We played 3-5-2.  Of the individual performances for us:
In goal, Alfie Roberts made several good saves, but his distribution was pretty dodgy.  This wasn't helped by us insisting on an extreme form of Cocu ball, passing it round in our 18 yard area regardless of the hordes of Liverpool players lying in wait.  In the back three Harrison Solomon was was class act and our best player overall.  Hugo Jinkinson was calmness personified, but this didn't stop him giving the ball away regularly.  In between them was Nelson Aideyan, who I see from GoC's post is an under 16.  He is certainly a big lad, so is going to be impressive when he stops growing.  To start off with he tended to kick the ball the way he was facing, but was better in the second half.  He was replaced by Kane Ryan, who was even taller.
Our two wing backs both did quite well.  Riley Moloney looks very accomplished, while Rhys Brailsford certainly showed some aggression, scything down one of the Liverpool players in a way that brought back happy memories of Bruce Rioch at his best.    In midfield, Seb Thompson was OK.  Cian Kelly started brightly but faded badly, reappearing only to miss a good chance in the second half.  Harry Hawkins was the most interesting.   The game passed him by for most of the time, but when he got on the ball he used it really well.  Presumably he is only 15(?) at most, so let's hope we can keep hold of him.
Up front, Bartol Cybulski was unfortunately slow in thought and action, while Malik Mothersile was greedy and missed a great chance when it was 1- 0.  We played better after he was hooked.  Jack Rogers came on and looked quite bright but lightweight.  Reece Davies also appeared briefly.
The coverage was done using only one camera with no replays, so it was a bit like watching the game standing in one spot throughout.  I realise that there are a number of good reasons why Rams TV can't show many games live, but it would be great if coverage could increase in some way.

I love Owen Bradley's commentary but realise he can't be available all the time.
But if we're paying this bloke, and he's done several matches for us this season, he really ought to have more knowledge of our team. He needs @Ghost of Clough to provide him with some stats! 

The youngsters kick off at 7pm tonight and it's live on RamsTV. Coverage starts at 18:45.
