    Straight from the horses mouth? How is Mel these days? ?
    Honestly though, that doesn't seem so far fetched from what I've heard about the EFL and their feelings towards DCFC.
    I work for a company within the sports industry (a product that lots of sports teams use on a regular basis) and a contact of mine used to work with the EFL and said there has been an anti-Derby stance at the top level for some time. Timing coincided with Morris taking over and challenging TV deals etc.
    I'm pretty sure they're doing whatever they can to damage DCFC/Morris as much as possible. We need to reset the system and hopefully the CK takeover happens and we can wipe the slate clean and we can all move forward.

    It seems to be that we will be aiming for 35% payment to creditors over a 3 year period, which should see us avoid a deduction next season, but could just kick the can down the road for a couple of seasons (worst case scenario).
    CK has mentioned that he wants to take over funding by Early May, which would hopefully mean we can start to get some business done with current squad, but depends on EFL and how quickly they do things...

    roboto reacted to Bob The Badger in To those of you under 50, some good news   
    You’re going to be gutted this morning, and rightly so.
    But it ain’t all bad.
    When we dropped out of the old 2nd division into the 3rd in 1984 things were in many ways, worse.
    We didn’t (quite) have the financial issues, but we had a horrible team and the entire season was utterly depressing and devoid of hope in a way this season hasn’t been.
    My personal highlight of an utterly depressing season was meeting Dave Watson in a Little Chef on the A1 after we spanked Cambridge away 3-0 in the FA Cup. That was pretty much it for ducks sake.
    AND we had not just relegation, but the ignominy of losing to Plymouth in the FA Cup quarter-final to contend with after we had dragged them back to the BBG.
    We all thought that we’d bounce right back when we did get relegated and the arrival of Arthur Cox just emboldened that belief.
    An opening day away loss to Bournemouth, when Bournemouth then were more like the equivalent of Exeter now, didn’t dissuade us.
    Of course, we didn’t bounce back and ended up outside the top 6.
    But we had some BRILLIANT away days that season, Hull, Lincoln, and the last game of the season at Newport spring to mind.
    It was a whole lot more fun than the previous season because we were, for the most part, competing and you could see what Arthur was trying to do.
    There’s something fun about going to smaller clubs and taking the place over. Those of you who travel to away games know that the camaraderie is special.
    In fact, the adversity that we have faced this season has developed that camaraderie, only it’s done it at home.
    I work online and use social media a lot and the admiration for Derby’s support, especially those of you who travel away is a delight to read. I’ve even read genuine Forest and Leeds fans say they’re impressed.
    And what’s not to be impressed about?
    Forget the trolls who are loving this, the REAL football supporters appreciate and understand what Rooney has dragged the club through and the guy is universally respected, exponentially more so than when he was merely an excellent player.
    He’s now an excellent ex-player and an excellent human being. Time will tell if he can become an excellent manager, but the signs are promising.
    The second year under Arthur we did come up and that season was even better for road trips..
    I’ve seen Derby beat Benfica, Real Madrid, every top English club multiple times and Forest many times. But if I were to list the best 5 games I’ve ever attended, Derby at home to Rotherham in the old 3rd Division on a Friday night would be up there.
    That game with that penalty that took us back up to what would now be the Championship was a raucous, intense and then delirious atmosphere ending in an effing celebration comparable with any I have witnessed - although to be fair, my memory is a tad blurry because we did hit the pub hard.
    I doubt there was a Liverpool fan that got anything like the joy from beating Man City in the cup semi or will get more if they win the thing, than we Derby fans got from squeaking past Rotherham that night.
    The fact is, winning is just fun, no matter what division you are in. And beating adversity is fun too. So much more satisfying and enjoyable than just delivering on what’s expected.
    Somebody posted that they hope we're not that team that thinks they will bounce back up.
    I don't really care if fans think that. It's totally irrelevant.
    What is relevant is what WR thinks and what he allows his staff and players to think.
    And I have no doubt whatsoever that he'll not allow that entitled type of mindset to creep in.
    The good news is we have renewed hope for a stable club, a very promising manager in place, an Academy that is flourishing even if it is being pillaged and some wins to look forward to.
    We are where we are, so we may as well embrace it and have fun. And you will have some fun, I promise.

    The guys company paid out $8m in prize money to some guys hitting a small ball around a field with a metal bar for a weekend. I'm pretty sure he has some assets to use in some form or another. The fact it isn't widely in the public domain shouldn't be a huge problem. With the nature of the Slync.io business, it's safe to assume he's probably got some crypto trading happening in the background. Can we be the first team to pay players in Dogecoin?

    Every time there’s a sniff of positivity you sneak out the shadows and put your negative stink all over it.
