Abu Derby got a reaction from WoollyJumper in Takeover Update
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.

See above. Had two good wins has Mel as a businessman. Well done him. Royally ducked up his third effort. Tough luck. With investments some you win, some you lose. No need for him with his wealth though to bring the whole club to its knees.

If he doesn’t fund us we’re finished, simples.

We'd go into administration and -12 points , any potential new owner would be able to buy US debt free (but would need to buy / rent PP from uncle Mel).... It might be the only way out of this mess

Abu Derby reacted to SillyBilly in Local Media - are they being ignored.
If it isn't behind a paywall it isn't worth reading is a good rule-of-thumb. I spend more on news than I ever did when it was physically printed.
The only exception being the Financial Times, which bizarrely for a financial paper has become as left as the Guardian, severely disappointing as a long term subscriber so that got canned as effectively unreadable. Balance and giving space for journalists in both sides of an argument is what I want to read, not propaganda, left or right.

Abu Derby reacted to QuitYourJibbaJivin in Takeover Update
If we haven’t breached (which would be a great outcome for us) it will mean we’ve had to endure 2 years of absolute dross for nothing. The club has been pushed to the brink of oblivion because of an accountancy method. I’ve never been more disinterested with football than I am now, some clubs signing players for £100m+, players earning £50m a year yet all we want is a couple more frees to bolster our threadbare squad, football is dead.

Abu Derby reacted to Gaspode in Sone Aluko (Gone to Ipswich) & Sam Baldock (Signed)
I’d guess we were mainly looking at Baldock to play off CKR - if big Col is out of the team then we need to be looking at a different type of striker.
I’m sure our thoroughly professional and well-prepared recruitment team has a long list of alternatives to choose from…..

Abu Derby got a reaction from RoyMac5 in Please sack them NOW
No way will he walk. If he’s got any sense he’ll stay with the mighty Rams and tough it out.
The alternative for him doesn’t bear thinking about: Colleen wanting him to decorate all of those rooms in his new house whilst he’s at a loose end.
It’s quite an easy decision for him to make really.

Abu Derby reacted to RoyMac5 in Something mega
Then perhaps we should have put the ducking things in sooner? I imagine it'll be to do with how much extra there'll be to play with P&S. Make us a more attractive buy, ain't that so Mel? ?

Abu Derby reacted to sage in Time to walk away Wayne
90% of our problems aren't down to the manager. I'm not saying he is a great or even good manager, but we have other priorities at the minute.

Abu Derby reacted to Rammeister in Time to walk away Wayne
Question is, would you have posted this if we’d hung on for the final 10 mins of added time and got the win?

Abu Derby reacted to Eatonram in Please sack them NOW
We are in a mess, there is no doubt about that, however, how anyone can put this at Rooney's door is somewhat baffling to me. We could have won today and the Rooney Outers would be nowhere to be seen

Bringing off Morrison for Jozwiak proved to cost us dearly.

Just publish the accounts, take the points deduction start again.
Can't be doing with this.
Bargain basement baalocks.

Abu Derby reacted to MACKWORTHRAM in v Peterborough (A) Match Day Thread
This is exactly what the issue is.
One injury and we're in serious trouble.
We have to get things sorted behind the scenes and get players in.

Abu Derby got a reaction from jono in South Stand: Respect
What about:
“He’s here, he’s there, he’s every*******where - Fozzy Forsyth, Fozzy Forsyth…….”
Then repeat, multiple times.

Steve Nicholson must despair of his employers. Derbyshire Live is akin to the old Sunday Sport - complete and utter dross.

Abu Derby got a reaction from desirelines in Premier League 21/22
Difference is they have an owner who is a fan, but more than that he has been very responsible for a long time and clearly knows how to run a football club.
