Abu Derby

We didn’t get it right though - they did. By purchasing talented players.  That’s the difference. 
With the odd exception, we went out and bought one hit wonders or average players no better than what we had for a ridiculous amount of money. 

24 hours. Half of the usual period then. 

Serious questions 
Gabay
Derventio holdings 
Alonso 
Is Mel honestly that incompetent? if he is that incompetent, who the duck is advising the bloke and why are they also that incompetent, I’ve never seen anything like it!
Get it wrong once, fair enough
Twice, then you’ve got to start asking yourself some serious questions
Three times, you deserve everything you get 
THE worst judge of character!
 
 
 
 

Perhaps we keep giving the wrong bank details? I mean, if you get one digit wrong on your account number, they'll have trouble sending you money. I can't imagine both Sheikhy and Alfonso weren't genuine?

I dont think what can be in doubt is the appalling way the news was leaked to the press.

I hope he survives but swallows a floater 

If we do eventually get a points deduction, even if it is only 2 or 3 points, then Steve Gibson has kept us in the division.
His meddling and throwing his toys out of the pram delayed the verdict by at least 5 months, only for all of his crying to be thrown out and no wrongdoing proved. This means that any deduction we may get would have been applied to the season that’s just finished rather than the next season.
Whatever happens, and as disappointing as it is, it’s still absolutely hilarious that Mr Gibson has done nothing but help us, and the bill for the honour will be footed by every other club.
Thanks Steve, now run along.

Pathetic Gibson

Who cares about what other fans think ?? I never have in 50 odd years supporting the Rams .

Not entirely unrelated to this thread I get the principles behind FFP but the reality we are seeing this season with the exception maybe of Barnsley having a cracking season is a league that is in danger of becoming a closed loop from the Premier League which is fuelled by the parachute payments, same/similar clubs yo-yoing between the two, the increase in punishments to clubs in our league making them too afraid to dare to dream of anything other than staying in the league.
The 3 coming down next season all have obvious claims of bouncing back, Brentford/Bournemouth/Swansea depending on who goes up will be thereabouts again. 
I'm well aware we have far bigger issues of our own to worry about but if I was a neutral I'd say this league is in real danger of going from exciting to boring very fast. 

24 hours. Half of the usual period then. 

Can you blame them? Especially if what is read by supporters of other clubs are just the endless negative articles written about us by various papers.
It wasn't so long ago that everyone was rooting for us in a play-off final over a "cheating" QPR. Now the tables have turned. There's always the animosity towards the clubs that have splashed the cash to get up but failed, rather than those who were successful as they stuck two fingers up to the rules on the way up.
Lots of praise for teams like Leicester, Villa, Wolves etc in recent seasons for how they've done in the Premier League, with very little mention that they bent the same, or similar rules as we have apparently broken to get there. They were successful with it, we weren't. We're the ones who are vilified.

Ultimately, clubs that overspend, are doing so, to compete with the three relegated clubs. The efl has got to do something about this, or we will have the same three clubs going up/down every year. Next season it will be West brom, Sheff U and probably Fulham smashing the league up,it's getting predictable and boring.

Top, top bloke. We sometimes say that players don't care enough but having seen Waggy's interview and now Curtis.......it matters.
Cheers Curtis, and whatever you end up doing in the future I wish you all the best.

In my view, he secured legend status at the club yesterday 

It would appear that Alonso can’t raise the money after all. 
Next .....

Daily Mail reckons that the EFL have asked Alonso to deposit £35m in a UK bank as proof of funds. He has failed to do so. 

Good luck Rams against The Massive ,hope you stay up .
Your fans were some of the most fervant in our fight against the Oystons, hope to see  you in the Championship next season. 

This is disastrous news if true. 

We need to hope this deal falls through.
If at all possible, we as fans need to demand that at least 1 fan representative is allowed to be kept in the loop of takeover activity, obviously having signed a NDA, but a fan who can have input. 
Gaby, Sheikh Khaled and now Alonso, who next, Fawaz? 
Mels desperation to sell could damage the club beyond repair.

I being asking around 10m mark for him.

Give him good footballers - see what he can do then. 

There are bigger problems at the football club than the manager. If this group of players were that good, they wouldn't be in a relegation battle going into the last game of the season.

Give him good footballers - see what he can do then.
