Abu Derby

Aurthur Cox was a fantastic manager for us and left some great memories. 
I’d love to see him back on a match day and to hear the crowd applaud him for what he achieved during his time here.

Isn't the whole point of being in administration a sure and factual sign that said company doesn't have enough money to continue (for very long), and doesn't have  anyone available to make up the shortfall without additional funding/buy out?
Isn't our entire survival down to being bought out?
Why would they expect DCFC to have "enough funds" at this stage.  How TF does that work?  Surely if we did, there'd be no need for administration?  
Final question... or am I just being thick?  ?‍♂️

I’m surprised and pleased to hear he lives in Barton. I imagined he was up near Newcastle. Absolutely no doubt about it my favourite time as a Rams fan. I’d love to be able to thank him in some way

make sure you watch this !!
anybody who follows my twitter link @phillowe1 may well have seen some of the fantastic posts that i have put up from it, it is a documentary from 1984 the centenary season, we were in Division three, we had been taken to the courts, we hadnt paid our dues, we were skint and facing death, its the history of the club from 1884 to 1984 and you will be amazed !!! 
make yourself a mug of tea or pur yourself a well earned pint, find somewhere quiet and enjoy !!
thank me later !

Sam Rush + players under the wasserman umbrella... No thanks.
Mel Morris was reckless for splashing the cash like a kid in a candy store. But it was Sam Rush alongside our dire recruitment team who actually signed the dross.
If Morris had splashed the cash with a system like Brentford's in place we'd be an established top 10 PL club now.
But instead we got Wasserman dross.
And the contracts were ridiculous. It's well documented how Darren Bent triggered a year extension in his own contract without Morris even knowing about it. Incompetence all round.

Legend. Needs a statue as big as the baseball ground, actually, just rebuild the baseball ground and we can move back over there. 
 

I can confirm that; I've had the pleasure of speaking with him at The Old Vicarage too. He is a really great old-school gentleman who refused politely to tell me anything "juicy" about eg Maxwell although he did tell me some very funny anecdotes involving helicopters with Maxwell's leg hanging out. Arthur really is a diamond gentleman. It's time Rams TV caught up with him. Can anybody @Owen87ITK make that happen. I think Arthur generally ticks the "No publicity" box but surely we need to pour some love on him for what he did?

At least not that I'm aware of.
Sorry if that headline seems insensitive, but it may look like clickbait if I just post his name when he's ok.
I'm just interested if anybody has info on Arthur - or even, journalistic speculation Colin?
It all went south at the end, but that man is up there with Clough, Mackay and TBE as the greatest Rams managers in my lifetime.
I had some of my happiest Derby memories (and I watched all the home European games) watching that team rebuild in the 3rd division.
Maybe it was the fact that, as now, we had sunk so low and Arthur dragged up back up again because Clough's team was harder to break down, Mackay's more likely to put 4 past you, and Jim's more likely to attack you with pace on the counter, but I just loved that team.
For those of you old enough to remember Kevin Wilsons explosive start to that season, how shocking was it that Coxy promptly sold him?
Stunning and dumb eh?

Dumb like a fox when he used the money to bring in Micklewhite and, was it Gregory? Callaghan maybe? I dunno, come on stat fans, enlighten me who he used that money on!
I was listening to an interview with Robert Lee the other day and he was complaining at how poor Newcastle were at honouring old heroes. Derby are quite good in fairness and maybe AC wants his privacy, but duck me, I'd love to see the man introduced to the PP crowd. I'd even drive up from Cornwall to see it.
I just hope he's well as I know he had major back issues even when he was manager.

It's not even accurate, as Shinner had already talked about it the week before!

I break wind over DET's headlines.

Has the DET ever run a DCFC story before we all knew about it? 
Masters of copy and paste. 

Said it before many times, and I'll say it again. The DET has absolutely no journalistic merit at all. None. They only care about dedicating the maximum amount of screen space to adverts as possible and churning out the highest volume of 'articles' possible. Most of it is copied/pasted from twitter and/or taken from work other outlets have done. 
Absolute rubbish.

Person X hasnt spoken to media in 2 or more days = "BREAKS SILENCE" 
Person X said one banal thing, we've all known for the past week as he got into his car = PERSON X'S REVELATIONS WILL LEAVE Derby FANS SHOCKED" 
Its up there with "FANS OF EASTENDERS WILL BE SHOCKED BY HOW ETHELS PUG WILLIE LOOKS NOW"
Playskool clickbait journalism. It could be done by a bot, or by a trainee/apprentice. More likely its done by a 50 year old journalist who can't believe what happened to the job he used to love....

Who is the headline writer for the DET, why is talking now called “Breaking Silence”, sensationalist slightly?
 
Headlines as original as the articles

Of those left, I'd have thought Bradford is the political favourite. Levelling up, Northern Powerhouse etc 
 

You were saying? 

I saw an item on one of our fourms where Marcus Evans may throw his hat in the ring to take over at your club.    Listen up and do whatever you can to ensure this never takes place.    Evans may be a businessman, he may have involvement or control within other aspects of industry but has never, and can never, hope to succeed within ownership of a 'football' team.
His 14 years with us came at a heavy price.   Took the club name down to third league status for first time in some half a century, appointed one crap manager name after another, time and time again, did not invest in new players  and never spoke out or was seen to be seen when the fans really needed help at it's most.    At times it seemed he just didn't care.
Was kept in place with us for far more years than what was necessary.  Came on board after Sheepshanks in 2007 and was expected to steer the club back to something achieving, but took the club in the opposite direction.    Fans were overjoyed when he finally left in the summer although some were thankful for his services.
Don't allow Derby County to follow this route, forewarned is forearmed.    It looks like we'll be playing you again next season and while i'm looking forward to it and wish it once again at higher level, do whatever you can to make sure Evans is not coming back to Portman Road when you make the trip over and do the right thing, hire someone else to take ownership.    Mike Ashley too, can't really speak for that name but realize he has amounted a lot of hostility and anger with previous clubs he's been involved at.  
 

That is a depressing list.

Told you that he was in Lidl. Eying a bargain in the middle section. Monkey metal pair of pruners.
