I think that Hughton will get it right at some point in time. He’s a good manager.

You need proper owners in football to succeed. It starts at the top if you are owned by clowns you end up being a circus. Leeds for example had a succession of joker owners and ended  up as a laughing stock for 16 or so years. A succession of small clubs like Bournemouth and Brentford have succeeded recently due to good leadership. If you get professional leadership who are invested in progressing a football club and the football club is their main focus and not personal agendas and ego trips that club will prosper. Match good leadership with a big club and  Derby are that and there is only one direction you go and that is up.
 
 
 
 

No matter how bad it gets, you have to live in hope that the good times will return.
Here are a few examples of current Premiership teams who've had recent bad times :
Man City - 3rd division in 2001
Leicester City - Bankrupt & 3rd division in 2008/09
Leeds United - Bankrupt in 2007 and 3rd division for 3 seasons to 2010
Southampton - Bankrupt and 3rd division in 2009
Brighton - no ground and 3rd division up to 2011
Wolves - 3rd division in 2014/15
 
 

Also he's another midfielder, isn't he? We aren't exactly short of those.
We need to sign the next Bobby Davison.

Am I missing something here? Sky saying that Birmingham are destined for the playoffs. Only 30 percent possession at home against a team with barely any players and had to have goals gifted to them to win the game. 

Oh give it a rest. 

First half before the goal we looked a class above. The goal knocked the confidence out of us.   I’d say let’s go again, but teams will see this and every game will be high press now against us.  
we need to mix it up, trouble is, we don’t have the players.
let’s hope we cut out the cheap mistakes and gain a few points.

Rooneys got my sympathy here. 
 
Playin some good football and creating some chances but absolute dead heads making mistakes constantly are costing us.
 
he can’t be making that back pass for buchanan. He can’t be playing the pass for Lawrence or not being beat at his near post for Roos.

Don’t forget the appointment of Tony Pulis and spending millions on George Saville!! ???

Wasn't he 8.5 million

The irony of course is that they already had a centre forward on their books that they had signed for £15m the season before!

IIRC Gibson’s argument was that we had used our extra financial headroom to outbid them on buying Waghorn. And apparently having Waghorn, for reasons that science can not yet explain, gave us an advantage ?‍♂️.

What I can't understand with the EFL, is that why aren't clubs who get promoted to the Premier after breaking FFP rules, not subject to a points deduction on return to the championship?  The likes of QPR and Bournemouth should have started their first season back in the championship on negative points.

Meanwhile watford FC continue to sell players at inflated prices to their sister club in Italy and in return receive players at reduced cost to meet their finances/ restrictions and have been doing so for years and have at least two promotions on the back of it.
oh look Nottingham forest do the same 
meanwhile Wolves benefitted hugely from only loaning half of Portugal national team which no other team was allowed the same option to loan the same players.
I am not saying they should be punished because it’s a loophole close it or restrict it maybe.
the point I am making is that these are loopholes ( still open) but loop holes none the less and what we did was exploit  a loophole that might have Benefited us - it might not have but we currently don’t know that, but little else and what the EFL are doing is massively over the top spurred on by over zealous owners of other clubs and a consistent barrage of targeted negative press.

Which is let's be honest here, fantastic given the circumstances.
Online sales only so far, pandemic, EFL investigation.
