    Abu Derby reacted to Comrade 86 in Louie Sibley   
    The lad's going to be a top player. It's always astounded me that some folk can't, or wont see it. We've actually got an entire group of really exciting young players at the club right now and it's a delight to watch them maturing into senior football, despite all the distractions and chaos around them.
    I'm particularly proud to see the fight and passion they seem to exhibit. Huge shout out also to all of our academy coaches who are doing a wonderful job and have been for a fair old while now. Lots of work still to be done, but some green shoots definitely in evidence.
    Here's to a brighter future.

    Well I like both of them and both of their styles too. It’s a very difficult job indeed - to be able to hear a live commentary away from home is always a privilege for me, so I’m happy whoever it is.

    Abu Derby reacted to Ram-Alf in Missing Supporters   
    There's been a compliment of staff there for a while, My Brother who passed away never took up the offer of a refund or Rams TV free untill the end of the 2019-20 season, We cleared his flat out and we found a letter from DCFC stating he had not taken up the cash refund offer, He was given more time...pretty sure it was until end of Feb 2021, He passed in mid April this year, So he never bothered.
    My Daughter asked if she could write a letter to DCFC and see if she could get the refund, She sent his death certificate and letter by email, A reply was sent within a week asking for a little time as they were very short staffed, A cheque followed mid July for the full amount.
    Well done DCFC...an Animal charity were £89 better off.

    Genuine question: do we really think anyone with a player that needs developing would look to the Derby coaching staff as the people to do that?

    Makes me also think of Kieran Dowell. 
    2019 - Promoted with Sheff Utd
    2019 - Did nothing for Derby
    2020 - Scores 5 goals in 12 games for Wigan
    2020- Norwich deem him good enough sign on a 3 year deal and is now playing in the PL
    Maybe it might be something to do with Derby... ?

    Why do we need an extension? These should have been prepared and ready to go long ago so we could get on with our season. 

    One can only presume that we have agreed some sort of ‘deal’ with the EFL and are re-doing them on that basis but why has it taken so long? 
     
    One can only be thankful that the club will no doubt be communicating the reason for this deferral, and the impact it may well have on signing any proper footballers before it is too late, in their usual timely and informative manner.

    Mel is a Rams fan and currently making up the shortfall in income each month to keep the club operating. It’s easy to use the word hate on social media, but would you say it to his face......unlikely. He has done as much as he can to turn us into an established Premier league club, but unfortunately it hasn’t come to fruition. He is now trying to secure our future by bringing in new owners. Football comes down to fine margins as we know and there was another Keogh moment yesterday when Byrne did a triple toe loop on the penalty spot.
    Massive mistakes with recruitment of both managers and players has been our downfall, while trying to chase the dream of Premier League football and I’m sure Mel would agree and do things differently if he had a time machine.
    Forum members posting hate comments should be banned in my opinion.

    One has to ask why Mel bought the club 6 years ago in the first place. 
    I’m absolutely amazed that a so called “business man” couldn’t see that if the gamble to get promotion failed, then he’d lose money. 
    He can’t be surprised by it. 
    It needed to be a long term project; it wasn’t and he is bearing the consequences.
