Shaftesbury st

We have been too nice but i’m convinced under this new Manager we aren’t going to be for too much longer.

Just seen his Rams TV interview with a bobble hat on ( got to be a song in that )think he’s crackers and clearly has some charisma, what we need right now.

Sell out against Oxford

March to the stadium

One things we MUST do. We must sing the name of Mr. Clowes. This man we owe so much

Like people did with Mel? Let’s sing his name when we are a success, we can thank him but filling the stadium week in and week out.

Just my opinion and i accept others will have theirs ?

I think a march is pointless now the season is over, Quantuma aren’t even in the city and never have been.

What I think is a good move is to dirty their company name, get it trending because their future business depends on getting this through too, they fail and who’s going to touch them again?? 

So any tech nerds out there get it trending

From a bit of snooping on Companies House - PPS is owned by Gellaw Newco 202 Ltd, which is 100% owned by Gellaw Newco 204 Ltd, which in turn has its shares held by Mel personally.

What this means exactly in terms of the admin I’m not sure - it appears that the stadium is ultimately owned by Mel personally and not DCFC.

 

That’s how I see it, so ultimately not in administration

Maguire said last night that he believed all elements of the club are likely to be sold as a whole as this would make the club more attractive to purchasers. I guess from a MSD loan perspective, it would make sense for the administrator to do this, as MSD will get all monies owed repaid.

Speculation on my part though.

My understanding is PP is not owned by a DCFC subsidiary and is owned by MM himself so therefore is not in administration but obviously represents another issue in selling us. 
I believe this has been an issue for perspective parties in the past, Moor Farm I have no idea who owns it, or if it’s part of a DCFC subsidiary

 Great game today. From my seat behind the goal in the North Stand I was treated to two goals.

The flight of Bird’s strike left the keeper rooted to the spot and in an effort to redeem himself he flew out and was then completely bamboozled by Curtis’s nod on.

From a physiological point of view a I think we can survive 12 but 21 is totally different.

12 gives us something to fight for and the players will dig in but if it’s 21 they’ll start thinking if it’s worth putting their bodies on the line for a lost cause.

I wonder how many is too much psychological speaking. 

 

 

If wages aren’t paid add another 3 on too

When are Fans going to wake up and stop with this “ one of our own “ nonsense?. This is all on MM for his running of the club, his egotistical behaviour towards EFL….you poke the bear and you get mauled.

I am pretty sure because of the evading of accounts being submitted that this could be a reason for the withholding of the £8.3 million others had. 
 

Mel to blame and we will be league one next year so for a couple of years have a chance to build at last, it will be three seasons before we are back where we are now with an embargo. If we can get our heads round that we will have a chance to be semi decent again on and off the pitch.

Whilst administration means certain relegation it also does end this sorry saga to a degree…..a path to move on

Dont get me started on MM, unforgivable arrogance if nothing else to take on EFL and bend the rules……..poked the bear and got mauled 

Not sure we can compare this season to anything like recent times with the squad we haven’t got, or more like haven’t got.

Feel like we’ve played well so far but run out of steam second half, no options from the bench and some naivety about our play at times. This season we won’t kill teams off and will always give away large chunks of games 

What about Elvis Presley’s - can’t help falling in love with you.

Very apt at the minute for those that still sticking it out:

Verse 1]
Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay? Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you?

[Chorus]
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be

[Verse 2]
Take my hand, take my whole life, too
For I can't help falling in love with you

So any shortfall from capacity is all down to season ticket holders not turning up?

No it’s down a completely incompetent administration at the club. Why can others fill their stadiums and we must up half of what we normally get ? 
 

It’s a shower of S……I got an email Sunday asking me to get my Boro ticket, luckily I had already got it.

I’d estimate 16,500.

But south stand full and made big noise all game.

16,123 they announced 

Personally I think the only mistake he’s made would be adding a third keeper as it’s preventing an outfield player coming in…..can’t fault him with the conditions he’s working in to be fair 

I declined a ST refund and continued to pay my direct debit all the way through but still haven’t been this season.

The club only has its self to blame, I will be going Saturday but if I am honest not really that bothered.

Why do I feel like this? A number of reasons I guess which I would imagine are fairly standard across the board.

I’ve kept my money in the club but don’t feel valued still, the communication has been poor. Ringing in to ask questions was dreadful, literally getting cut off so far down the line, that actually makes you feel like the clubs going bust in itself.

I do know a few people inside the club, they say it’s a mess and has been for some time, whilst they don’t know major details or inside news they also feel undervalued.

MM’s battle with the EFL has ruined us, he’s let his emotions get in the way of business and now we are paying for it.

For the previous talk of the club being at the heart of the community it certainly feels very broken right now. 
 

Managerial decisions have cost us badly, Cocu being the worst for me, it was THE time to forget promotion and get a man in to build. Get players from lower levels and really be cost effective with lowered expectations and just be honest with the fans.

I may request a refund in all honesty as my desire has gone, we pay our money and we expect a well run club in return. Even the accounting situation as it stands makes me feel more pain is coming and then I can see very dark days returning as people will walk away. 
 

If you are a fan who wants to carry on and go each week good for you, I may join you I may not but for those that don’t is does not mean they don’t love the badge any less, the relationship just needs a bit more time to repair before we go back. 

Football has changed drastically over a very short period, the money involved and the clamour for ownership of certain clubs for financial gain is overwhelming.

I get decisions taken by non football people but I don’t get decisions by those who know nothing else. We could say well they have loved this surely they know best. But we could also back that up with a life of football will leave you with no other grasp on reality, let’s face it “ all of ours reality “.

So this decision to appoint Lawrence is beyond me, Rooney you have got this wrong. He’s never displayed leadership on the field, sulky, head down, at times disinterested in tracking back or even getting forward on some occasions. 
 

The drink drive incident is still fresh in everyone’s memories, so I see no positives in this announcement. I actually think it’s a smack in the faces for fans, no respect for us in a way, I accept some may argue that’s nonsense.

With what the club has gone through, the whole Country as well but particularly with our failed takeovers and lack of information from the club I see no real care or respect for us the supporters from within.

Todays game is £10 to watch on RamsTV, now I e been giving the club my money each month right through the pandemic, still not had a penny back and they ask me to pay to watch it. A lovely chance to show their appreciation……lost.

Still no takeover, i accept they are being quiet due to past failings but please don’t forget us, you can sell walk away but we can’t do that. 
 

Don’t forget the fans, this club is going to need us more than ever in what is going to be a potentially worse season than last unless drastic investment arises.

Personally and the point of this post, we need a Graham Shinnie as Captain on the pitch and maybe even a Shinnie type ownership…..a safe pair of hands that you can trust, not a troubled young man with potential that he consistently fails to show.

Apparently not, they've told Nixon but not the club apparently 

I believe the club do know

According to Alan Nixon in today Sun quotes the following Sunsports understands an independent disciplinary appeals is ready to come down in favour of EFL who have refused to accept defeat in the cash row. The charges were dismissed by first independent disciplinary commission in August 2020, but with several clubs angered by the outcome the EFL appealed. Top sources claim the decision had already been taken but was kept secret as Derby fought for championship survival. It then goes on to say that Mel Morris club could be hit with a points deduction next season that runs into double figures. Similar to Sheffield Wednesday this season. 

I am sure there is something that states of an appeal is lodged then the penalty on that appeal can only be a financial penalty and not a double jeopardy points reduction??
 

Someone may be able to clear that up
