Animal is a Ram

I still find it utterly bewildering that:
The EFL signs off on the accounts originally
Circles back around saying we can't do that, takes us to investigation
Independent panel dismisses it
EFL appeal, different independent panel says it's naughty (apparently, unconfirmed).
Is any of this wrong?

I'd reply with, what the hell has it got to do with you? This is part of the problem nowadays, these journos think they are entitled.... Maybe we should ask Craig how much he gets paid per article, where is his bank account, what are his sources, 
 
Turnabout is fair game surely?

100% the club is a mess - but they always report the extremes.
It was always going to be highly unlikely, but they lead with 21 point deduction and made it sound like a certainty. You don't see the headlines from the Mail anywhere else.

I know we want more transparency around what's happening around the club, but this isn't it.

Yahoo (?!) always have the full Percy articles without the paywall for those who haven’t read it. 

I can't help but lose faith with all corners of DCFC at present. While I'm ignoring what the Daily Fail is saying to some extent, I can't say the number of bad articles isn't concerning. Would love to know why they appear to have a massive vendetta against the club, mind.
I can only hope that this stuff isn't accurate, and my thoughts are with the 'normal' people employed by DCFC in whatever form it may be. 

Happy Friday one and all!
I should probably apologise in advance as I feel a little bit spammy, but I'm pretty excited to say that Pride (or Pride: The Inside Story of Derby County in the 21st Century to give it the full, far too long name) will be available from the club shop and online from this weekend!
Link - https://www.dcfcmegastore.co.uk/item/2865/Books/Pride-Na.html
For those who don't know, Pride is a project I've been working on for around three years in total, and it's seen me work with just over 60 former players, managers, chairmen, coaches and #ITK fans to tell the tale of the club from the moment we moved into Pride Park until the beginning of this year. It's not really a game by game account, it's more of a focus on each season, the on-field and off-field dramas (even the crash), all told by those who lived it from the inside. So to put the 60 people into context, it varies from the likes of Stefano Eranio, Steve McClaren and Warren Barton through to Gary Rowett, Harry Wilson, Giles Barnes, Inigo Idiakez and Jake Buxton.
The club have been extremely supportive and it's been a huge surprise to have them come on board, considering the content paints a factual tale, but they've been a huge help and it's fantastic to have them on board.
For anyone who has pre-ordered already - and a massive thank you for your interest in what began as just a daft little project to pass the time - what I'm going to recommend to people is that they cancel their pre-orders with Amazon and the likes, because hopefully money won't have been taken. Then the book will be available for around a week or two at the club and the megastore, before hitting the wider world. Unfortunately this one was out of my hands so I'm expecting a few pelters ?
I'll try not to spam too much but if anyone has any questions or comments on the book, what it's about or why certain people didn't make the cut, just reply or drop me a message. And most of all, for anyone who is keen and interested in understanding almost every major development and in-story of the club over 20+ years, I really hope you enjoy it. I'm on Twitter at @PrideDCFC where I'll be rambling to myself and sharing a few articles I've done over the past few months.
You might see/hear me a bit over the media over the next few weeks, so I'm always here to throw abuse at! I had a chat with the @Steve Bloomer's Washing team as well for their latest episode: https://soundcloud.com/user-147200653/sbw-94-Derby-county-2000-2020

Watching Jack Stretton and Bobby Duncan play up front together is going to be extremely confusing.

Dur sun has scored a hat trick,
hip hip hip horay,
Dur sun has scored a hat trick smashing forest all the way.

Is... is that a leaf print?
Following that logic, I'm now expecting, nay, demanding a fleece third kit.

The 'shot' typo is my favourite in football commentary. Comedy gold.

I'm starting to hate this particular trend. 
I get the need for clubs to make money by selling shirts, but it's a bit of a poke in the eye when teams like Liverpool and Southampton, and now the England shirts rip people off by making a 'peasant' version.

Didn't look all that when we played them just after lock down, I thought.

One of the best 3 keepers in the league up until lockdown. As @Van der MoodHoover said, his form afterwards, was pretty poor. The best keeper over the season, by some distance, was Rodak.
