We need a midfielder who can dictate play and as a range of passes that can open defences and create chances. I'm told by many posters on here, that Morrison is such a player.  But unless we have another Morrison hiding away somewhere, the one out on the pitch today certainly doesn't fit the bill.

I'd like to see us going with two up top, to give us more presents in the box.

Why did he need to invade Ukraine to achieve this? Surely he could have done the same has he did in London and paid a couple of million to take control of the government.

Russia currently holds the presidency of the Security Council.   The timing of this invasion is probably not coincidental.

Had a similar response to my email to which I have responded as follows, with Margaret Beckett again CC'd:
Dear Mr Parry,
You infer that bar Derby County, every club in the country adheres to straight line amortisation policies – this is simply not true and it’s staggering that you would suggest as much. In 2015/16 Aston Villa were relegated from the Premier League, which allows a P & S loss of £105 million over three years, which then tapers down to £39 million over three years in the EFL Championship. It was therefore in Villa’s interests to put as many costs into their 2015/16 accounts to be absorbed by their Premier League P & S limit. Villa achieved this by charging an extra £79.6 million as a cost in the expense for impairment of the stadium and players (labelled ‘intangible assets’ in their accounts). No investigation was deemed necessary and no sanctions applied. There are too many other instances to list so I simply offer this particular one to illustrate that where the juggling of player values is concerned, there is one rule for Derby and another for everyone else.

If, as you claim, this amendment has been introduced ‘so there is no room for doubt’, does this not clearly infer there was doubt at the time the policy was in use? And given this has now been highlighted as a rather grey area, do you still maintain the sanctions applied are fair and fitting? Might I also ask what the EFL stance is on club’s selling their debts? Likewise, the pricing of players moving between clubs under the same ownership? The fact is that the EFL has spent over 2 years and no small amount of member club funds bringing Derby to task when a simple amendment, akin to that applied this week, could have been made as early as 2018 along with a request that Derby adopt a straight-line amortisation policy from thereon out.
It is also worth pointing out that the EFL, who claim to have ‘several accounts monitoring practices in place’ was made aware of the fact Derby County were using the ERV amortisation policy in 2018, yet chose not to bring this up with the club itself until 2020 by which time the relevant P & S period had closed. Had you not delayed the process until the 3-year period had elapsed, Derby would have been in a position to address the P & S threshold breaches through player sales or other means. Waiting until 2020, when the EFL was itself under threat of litigation from Middlesbrough FC, meant that Derby were not afforded any opportunity to bring either their accounting practices or their FFP overspend into line. With these facts in mind, I ask you again, do you still maintain the sanctions applied to Derby are fair and fitting?

Frankly, if the EFL is to retain even a shred of credibility, the sanctions applied to Derby County need to be reviewed immediately as the punishments far outweigh the ‘crime’. Failure to do so would result in the not unfair assumption that the current EFL board has brought the League into disrepute and that as such, those in question ought to be considering whether or not their positions remain tenable.
=====================================================================
The way I see it, this is absolutely NOT the time to be easing up on these clowns. Their actions this week yet again compromise the club's chances of survival in the Championship and as long as they continue to act in this fashion, we must keep boots firmly on their throats.
We fight to the end!
 
 

Nope, I'll be furious with Parry and Gibson until they are no longer involved with football.
And if the administrators don't get their act together and sort out who our new owners are. Then I'll be adding them to my list of people I'm furious with.

What the EFL have done to Derby is criminal.  If I was the new owner of the club, I'd sue them. But I doubt any actual new owner will.  I wonder if Mel Morris is in the mood for an other fight with the EFL. Because what the EFL have done must have had an impact on his personal finances.

Just sent this to Rick Parry. I'm still yet to receive a reply to my previous email, just needed to vent my frustration. This isn't acceptable, you can't run football like this.
 

Well we should soon find out if the administrators have been doing anything to earn their fees or just sat on their arses. Because if they have been hard at work, I'd expect the name of the preferred bidder to be revealed within the next few hours.

No, gibson has extorted enough out of us already.

All depends on who he wrote the cheque out to.
