    San Fran Van Rams reacted to Anag Ram in Max Bird   
    Max Bird is the last remaining player in our squad who can actually play football. He is calm under pressure and can pick a pass.
    It’s not his fault he’s surrounded by less talented players.
    He is one of those who will be a better player elsewhere. He was at his best learning from Rooney. He won’t get better in a hoofball side.
    I’ll be gutted when he leaves but I guess it’s all part of our transition from a chrysalis to a slug.

    San Fran Van Rams got a reaction from ariotofmyown in Should we be patient? If so, how does it improve?   
    I think we have to give a little more time to Warne. I'm not a huge fan of his recruitment - neither Nelson nor Bradley inspire much confidence in me yet, Elder seems to be very poor technically and Washington hasn't shown much yet. As many others have said, none of them have replaced McGoldrick although I'd argue he was an anomaly and we were far too reliant on him last season for our goals. We had no one else chipping in.
    However, it also looks like the team are still blending and I don't think we should judge for another 5-10 games. I like the look of Wilson and Ward - they both have energy, get forward well, can cross etc etc. They seem to have fitted in well - the others not so much. I'm not so worried about loss of Knight but if Bird goes we'll be in trouble. He seems to be the shining light this season and his touch, poise and passing, along with Hourihan, can unlock this division. We just need those around those two to click properly, especially on the left where we seem to be impotent... Never mind a new sticker, get a left sided winger in.

    Appears as though I am the only one sorry to see him leave.
    Money, wages, injuries, yeah, yeah.
    I just like to see quality players at the club. That man mountain could play a bit.
    Ok, we move on. Let's hope it's upwards soon so we can start recruiting quality again.

    Mel deserved twelve .  The other 9 were points taken off for rules only pushed through 4-5 months ago.  Another rule change re FFP should have seen us get 2-3 points back from those 9 but our fab administrators rolled over to be tickled without any right of appeal five minutes into their first million ..  Screwed over, no doubt.

    Great interview with him and a great achievement by him, especially when you consider everything that has happened in his time, injuries, managerial changes etc. I’m pleased the contract will see him into his 10th year. Well done Fozzy.

    If Cashin doesn’t play basically every game he’s available for this season, we may as well give up and close the academy.  We’ll never get a better chance to bring youngsters on than this season - a complete rebuild, at a level below where we’re expected to be.  And Cashin has the shirt already, it’s not like he’s got to force his way into the team from nowhere.

    San Fran Van Rams reacted to BramcoteRam84 in Player Registration Embargo Continues   
    You’re spot on. The EFL can’t be forgiven for their role in this. I agree with other posters, without the pressure from our fans on local MPs and the government the EFL could’ve created another bury. It’s not the EFL hierarchy per se, it’s the fact it’s the clubs regulating themselves. Descends into mob rule protecting self interest so it becomes about making sure a club stepping out of line doesn’t get an advantage and ensuring it’s penalised and not about helping a club in difficulty survive. We have been more than punished and the EFL business plan will continue that punishment.
    That being said, I think the business plan would hurt us more in the Championship. I think in league one we will have enough headroom to build a competitive side.

    San Fran Van Rams reacted to Rev in The Administration Thread   
    The most complicated football administration in history, other insolvency practitioners said it was near impossible and they wouldn't touch it with a bargepole. 
    Yet here we are, clean out the other side in less time than its taken other, less complicated administrations to be resolved, with no lingering issues such as stadium ownership, paying off our dues over 3 years etc etc, and good, if not entirely comfortable time to plan for the season ahead.
    No need to worry about paying a landlord rent on our home ground, no sword of Damacles hanging over our head in regards to further points deductions, a clean and clear exit from administration, which has looked unlikely from the off. 
    Maybe Quantuma knew what they were doing all along, after all we've exited administration in the best possible shape we could have hoped for? 
    Great job, guys.

    Majority of deals have closing conditions so this isn't something out of the ordinary.
    The fact that he's funding us from next week, and therefore potentially before the close of the deal (which is when the money is actually wired and the closing conditions have been met) is a big deal and shows the commitment. If the stadium sale doesn't go through, he'll have put money into something that won't be his - i take that as a huge positive that the stadium sale must be close (or he wouldn't have signed).

    Hopefully we get the stadium sorted asap but the fact they've signed the definitive agreement is huge news, as is the fact he'll be funding the club from next week. That's shows commitment. Hopefully this means we can now start rebuilding the squad to compete in L1.

    F#CK THE EFL, DERBY & BLACKPOOL FANS CHANT TOGETHER TO SHOW WHAT FOOTBALL MEANS TO FANS  PLEASE SHARE
    Hi everyone,
    Blackpool fan here in peace and respect many of you will probably already have seen my video already but if you haven't I hope you do watch it.
    You guys were absolutely unbelievable on Saturday and it was emotional to see you the true fans who partied and sang no matter what after all you have been through this season it was heartbreaking and uplifting in equal measure.
    Even though we wanted to win to stay above Preston not one Blackpool fan would deny you the WIN. Absolutely amazing support it was a very special day
    I think this is the most important video that I have ever made. Blackpool fans suffered for years at the hands of disgraceful owners and the EFL stood by and did absolutely nothing! Derby County fans came to Blackpool and stood side by side with Blackpool fans durung their prematch demonstration against the disgraced Oyston Family who were found guilty of misappropriating the clubs funds and forced to pay around £34M to minority shareholder Valeri Belokon.
    Blackpool fans have never forgotten what Derby fans did and yesterday was our chance to show our support for the way Derby County fans have been treated this season. Derby came to Blackpool to party and we joined in. 
    This was a game that was bigger than football it was a statement to say Football without it's fans is nothing, the EFL fit and proper person test is a disgrace they approve these rogue owners and when they go rogue they punish the fans with points deductions the whole thing is wrong!
    My hope is that this video gets shared to as many football fans as possible, doesn't matter which club, doesn't matter where in the world, just show it and let's make the people that run football realise that FOOTBALL WITHOUT FANS IS NOTHING
    #ONEFOOTBALLFAMILY
    Please feel free to share this and help me get this message out and let people see what Derby County means to you the fans your football world has been torn apart this season and did any of you do anything wrong? No you support your club just like every other true fan and you get punished because of the EFL approving an owner that has ruined everything for you! It's WRONG!!
    Who knows which set of fans will suffer next?
