We deserve everything we get for paying Kelle Roos to play football. Shambles of a keeper. 

@Big Trav if you were looking for token love and appreciation you should have spent your money in Barnsley going to a brothel.
For what worth, I think this set of players do genuinely care about the club and performance. They are just not very good. In my view we currently only have 5 proper footballers. The two centre backs and our big No. 9 are, however, all some 5 years or more past their prime, Morrison is an enigma, and Bird is only 20/21. I have hopes Knight might make a footballer too, but he does need to work on his quality.
To turn on our players now is a travesty Trav. Get behind them. They are not very good, but they are what we have. If you want to be irked, focus your thoughts on the bloke who left us in this complete mess.

Rooney's decision could have proved to be an inspired one (and, in truth, I suppose it could still be). I really hoped it would work and lead to more consistent performances from Tom. So far though, I don't think it's been a success. Some are natural leaders on the pitch and thrive on the extra pressure of being captain. I don't think Tom's one of those people.

Great idea, have to pay their contacts up, find a new manager and coaching team....... Not sure we could do either at the moment. Really great idea though. 

He’s our top goal scorer FFS and we’ve had one of the tightest defences in the league. 
 
The goals yesterday came from Forsyth being in no-mans land and Buchanan giving the ball away too easily and then having to foul and give a free kick away. 
 
I’d rather have Davies in this team than the majority of the others - too many to mention. 
 
 

We've destroyed him.

Starting to think a goalkeeper is a more important signing than a striker in January they’re all so temperamental 

He's 34.
So far, so American. What we cringe at is quite a basic level of enthusiasm from some of them! Probably doesn't really think anything of it.

Charlton Athletic are set to sue Derby County for £25 million after the ball burst in the 1946 FA Cup Final. If it hadn’t burst then we might have won or got some good players or something, said a Charlton spokesman. Meanwhile Ipswich Town also announced they were going to sue Derby County due to some reason or other. We might have won more games if they hadn’t beaten us in them, cited an Ipswich spokesman. It simply wasn’t fair that they had better players and scored more goals. We want £40 million and Martyn Waghorn back. 
Meanwhile American fast food chain McDonalds announced that they were going to sue Derby County for fielding a player with their brand name. Flagrant breach of copyright, claimed a spokesman for the evil corporation.
In other news the EFL announced a further 9 points deduction for Derby County after the midlands side finished their 0-0 draw against Swansea with 5 full backs on the pitch. Everyone knows you should have two full backs, said a source close to Rick Parry. Derby ended the game with 5 players who full back could be considered their tecognised position. That is clearly too many. We checked the rules but couldn’t find anything specific about this so we all agreed that 3 points per extra full back sounded about right. 

Meanwhile Wycombe have announced they aren’t going to sue Derby County for getting them relegated by buying Nick Blackman when they were two leagues below after they realised it was totally ridiculous and so far fetched as to be laughable. 

 
*Has anything ever gone wrong with your football club? Not won enough points? Let in last minute winners to players who can’t even drive and park their car properly? Why not sue Derby County? Contact Gibson and Parry Solicitors for your claim form. 

I get why fans are sceptical. It’s healthy, especially given the chancers and tyre kickers we've had so far.
But for those comparing this guy to Alonso - do you not think the admins are doing a better job than Mel at finding appropriate bidders? I’ve not seen anything to show I shouldn’t trust them yet. They'll have already seen proof of funds, reportedly to the tune of £150m+.
Also, for those questioning net worth, aren't Norwich's owners worth relative peanuts?

Are you on drugs?

Unfortunately i think it'll be Bird dropping out for the three games Bielik is fit 

Roos is toilet and I won't hear otherwise. Living proof that sex appeal alone can get you a career in football.

He was absolutely dire last night but less frustrating in the sense that I feel we got quite a few decisions that would've rattled me if they were given to the opposition.

No

Mel tripled the wage bill between 2014 and 2018 to the point where the wage bill was 150% of turnover. There was only one way that story was ever going to end and we're living through it right now. The responsibility for the club's predicament is his and his alone. It's self evident. Blaming the EFL is like blaming the speed camera when you get a speeding fine. It's a well known phenomenon known as 'my side bias'.

Accusing other forum members of not being real fans because they don't agree with you is out of order. Then again, my user name is Red Ram so maybe I'm a Forest fan?
 
 

I agree Mel Morris has been reckless, but much of your post is just innuendo. The claim that the most proximate cause of admin is COVID is something that is not being made just by Mel Morris but also the administrators who as insolvency prcationers are better placed to judge than you or I .
I don't think he was trigger happy with managers, in fact two of his managerial appointments were poached by other clubs, and Maclaren was effectively too.
 
etc etc
 
Basically we disagree.
 
 

That's true here are some facts to be going on with:
Massive debt run up with HMRC - Administrators trying to negotiate with HMRC, this is reportedly employees Income Tax and NI, if those NI contributions are not paid it could affect employees state pension entitlements!!!!
Mel allowed the wage bill to climb to 161% of turnover - That's nothing short of reckless.
Mel has said he's lost £200M - In 6 years that is nothing short of p*ss poor stewardship.  This will only be true if he gives the ground back and writes off all the soft loans!
His choice and trigger finger with Managers in nothing short of shambolic.
His interfering in training sessions and entering the dressing room, displays all the signs of a micro manager, which is even worse when you know sod all about the game.
His communication with the fans has been poor, his final attempt to keep a lid on the fans with his NDA meeting was the final straw for most of us.
His final denial that he had anything to do with Admin and it was all the fault of Covid shows the sign of a man who thinks he's perfect.  We were already in breach of FFP, despite selling the club to himself, the 161% of turnover wage bill was sanctioned by him and ultimately is the main reason we are in the deep poo we are!!!
He's clearly turned a club that was on the brink of entering the premier league into an insolvent business and unless he writes off the soft loans and gifts the ground back we could well go out of business.
Yes we can leave the post mortem until after the deal goes through, but all of the above is a matter of fact and the mans inability to accept any responsibility is quite frankly unbelievable, its also an insult to the Fans of DCFC that he thinks we will swallow all his bullshite!!!    

The EFL aren't the reason we can't pay what we owe, might as well lump Gibson in that group too, interested observers, nothing else.
Journalists report as they see fit, I've seen no article that has forced us into administration, and I'd include Maguire in that group.
Keogh and Rush were employees of the club, if their dismissals were legally watertight it wouldn't be a problem, if not that's the clubs fault, not theirs.
So we're left with Covid, and Mel withdrawing his funding.
 
As I said, one of two reasons.
