    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.

    Abu Derby reacted to DCFC1388 in 21/22 Season Tickets   
    Well after over 2 weeks since my first email, the club have finally got back to me saying they will not reimburse me for the difference in cost of my season ticket. The price I could have renewed at this year is around £75 less than the price I paid when I renewed ahead of last season - great way to reward my loyalty of renewing for 10+ seasons.
    £75 may not seem much to some people, but add in the fact ive had to pay double for my sons season ticket with the Rams Squad Membership 'free' season ticket not being a thing this year. Double whammy.

    One of my favourite ever things was her crunching that Ferrari on a Girls Aloud track day! 
     
    39 is no age to die. She was a naturally beautiful and seemingly positive person for a long time. The ‘industry’ chewed her up a bit.

    He's a generous bloke, £1.2m for a robotic surgeon to Derby Hospital that helps the city, saved lives and pumped millions into the football club.
    People can dissect his running of the club and they will, but honestly having talked to him on many occasions, he's a decent guy that does care.
    I would receive calls just to check up how I was doing during my bad days with anxiety. Was hard to read that he was going through his own health issues.
    I'll get hammered for this post but I'm gutted for the guy with how this is ending. Always will.
    Won't ever feel comfortable reading people laying into him as a man, but accept that others haven't been as lucky I have to have been able to see that side of him.

    What was the point of having a supporters meeting asking attendees to elicit questions from the fan base safe in the knowledge that the information imparted during that meeting was never going to be able to be shared with the wider supporters?

    Abu Derby reacted to Crewton in Local Journalism   
    Ed Dawes kicked off about this on Sportscene last night. He had a good old rant about the wall of silence from the club that they and other local journalists face when they seek answers. They're clearly as frustrated as the fans are. 
    Speculation fills an information void, so the club hierarchy cannot be surprised by the direction the narrative on social media is taking. 
    I fully understand the possible need for secrecy and discretion on takeover and financial matters in difficult times, but "say nothing" has a limited lifespan. They need to make a statement before the next fixture that gives us at least an outline of the current situation.

    Abu Derby reacted to Steve Buckley’s Dog in 21/22 Season Tickets   
    Finally got a response to my email - 14 days later - and they have completely ignored all the points raised in my correspondence! I have replied pointing this out but presumably have to now wait another 14 days. I have never known such incompetence in terms of communicating with your ‘customers’ and I have had to deal with Virgin Media and BT! 
     
    The way this club is being run into the ground is bizarre. Pubs are open, shops are open, theme parks are open. Why can’t our ticket office be open? Why can’t we just go the ground and speak to someone to resolve our issues! Why are we haemorrhaging money unnecessarily in this way due to lost ticket sales. 
     
    If we can’t afford to employ people in these key administrative areas then the EFL must be right to keep us under embargo. 
     
    I am finding it worrying and extremely annoying. I just want to concentrate on the football to be honest.
