Abu Derby

Hi guys
My nephew, Jake passed away on August 12th aged 23. Despite being dealt a bad hand he enjoyed life to the full possessing a sharp, dry wit and a fondness for dressing well - the other thing we had in common ? was our love for Derby County!
Many of you will recognise Jake, a life-long season ticket holder in the West Stand attending matches with his Dad.
His family are orchestrating a minutes applause at the 23rd minute during the Port Vale home match on Saturday October 8th.
Extended family will be in attendance and there will be a brief write up about Jake in the match day programme. 
These tributes are becoming more common, but I think that because they are often not official and fan-led they are even more poignant - and it would be a great gesture for one of our own.
Assistance in spreading the word from members of this forum would be so very much appreciated.

Ooh the cringe is strong with this one ?

A Premier League club being utterly sensible? *and* it's Forest? 
What fresh hell is this?

Villa will be Steve’s last game in charge. 
Enter stage left …… Alan Pardew. 

Robbie van de laan played for PV. He was a class player

Bit strange this. He isn't dead ?

Can we stop insulting Steve Cooper please. He is a very good manager who did amazing last season. Just because he manages our rivals is no reason to despise him. Can't remember him saying or doing anything anti-Derby, so let's just be slightly jealous that Forest appointed a manager that has done so well for them.

£150 million you say...
 

Hang on, I thought they’d be challenging for Europe this season - you know, after spending quite a lot of money. 
It’s hilarious having an outfit like that as a rival. 

If only cooper had been backed in the transfer market…??

This is just hysterical. Picked up my phone, seen it was already 3-0 and just burst out laughing uncontrollably. T'other half thought I was having some kind of fit ?

100% sloth is sacked after this game and replaced by Dyche.

I just want to say how lucky you are to have Paul Warne as manager. I've supported the millers for 69 years. Obviously, I've seen managers come and go during that period. As far as I'm concerned, and many other fans Warne is the best manager we've had.
Like Derby fans we went through some dark times. Administration points deducted, lost our ground, forced to play in Sheffield in an athletic stadium. No atmosphere, 4 years in the 4th division.
Paul has many qualities. Excellent staff management, a workaholic. He's articulate, honest and will live and breathe Derby County.
I thank him for all the memories, 3 Wembley wins 3 promotions and I wish him well and as a consequence wish the Rams well. I've never had a second team, but for the first time Derby County will be my second team. I look forward to seeing Paul succeed. 
Hopefully Derby will be promoted and we survive in the championship and look forward to see you at the New York stadium.
All the best.
 
 

Yea good thanks, Sheikh. 

Don’t know if it’s been posted elsewhere on the forum, but Nixon has said this morning that Darren Ferguson would have been in the running to get the job had we not got Warne.
Thank goodness for that. Don’t rate Ferguson one bit.

Has Augustus Gloop finished yet? Sheesh.
Booooooooring.

Curtis Davies is brilliant. This is how to stop the rumour-mongers in their tracks. 

Things were bad under Fawaz and in parts of the Doughty era and we properly struggled financially. Had embargos, limited ourselves to loans and frees. Had to sell the family silver each summer with Matty Cash, Burke, Brereton, Lascelles/Darlington, Bamford, Appiah and loads of others. All because we did things properly. We messed up on transfers and failed promotion attempts so we paid the penalty by selling talent and not spending for a while.
We paid our debts and can be proud that we never mugged all of our stakeholders off and never went into administration. Cowards way out.
 
 

Blimey it's 3 in the morning and your on here .  There's rent free and then there's Pacific Heights.  Obviously, the sheer panic at having blown close to 100 million more than your promotion and parachute pay outs over 4 years, on long contracts, for a  load of rapidly depreciating s**** is keeping you up.  Every Forest fan I see at the minute has the face of a bulldog licking piss of a nettle. 
Per your previous posts about enjoying Match of the Day, I did say I would enjoy watching your 45 seconds of airtime every week and indeed I am.  Please thank that cart house of a Captain and the other 75 players you have and do keep up the sterling work.
800k. Thats about a month of the tik tok stars wages.  Ask Birmingham about Bielik their paying it.  
I don't know of any business that went under due to our administration.  Perhaps you could look closer to home at the 100k you owed to catering firms, that they had to take you to the high court under a winding up petition to attempt to get back as they laid of staff.
Try and get some sleep. a few betamax videos of the old days and a can of out of date Shipstones circa 81 dug out from that  box in the loft marked 'days from the 3 years we were relevant'  should send you off.  
 

I think this is a good move. Clearly we are in a rush to leave League One as soon as possible.
