    We have much more fan based revenue than the average. Player wages (post covid) will come down materially. I think we have a good chance of promotion without losses if we have strong management  (football and corporate) in place. Hope one of these US groups will bring that.

    I shall pass over this question as I don't know any of you.
    I've met Boycie (Kitchen's great cheers ? ) and that's it.

    I have been down to Bristol to meet Papadopoulos, and I still have no idea what his grouch is as his reply was all Greek to me.
    We did enjoy a little dance on Avonmouth beach though.

    Lost cause Colonel, that chap’s obsessed and will take no notice. It wouldn’t surprise me if it turns out he’s been in contact with The EFL with his findings. I would be a little interested in why he is so obsessed with us but not those other clubs that have transgressed before us but what can you do ? ?‍♂️

    If Stoke can offset some of their losses for FFP purposes by saying that a disease of the chest and lungs has caused financial impairment can we not argue that we have incurred signignificant losses over recent years because of disease of the urethra. Just look at the number of ‘piss poor’ players we have bought in the last 5 years.

    Not the fault of the EFL or the other 23 clubs that we are in a poor state.

    The fact that you're willing to forego success for the Rams in order to avoid Prog Rock means that for you the genre must be associated in your mind with a great deal of pain and/or boredom, for which I can only apologise LOL.

    Some good players in the womens game and it's entertaining as well.
    The goalkeepers though, awful.  
    Is it because girls can't catch? ?

    Have they though?  Other fans of other clubs, from what I've read, think the EFL should throw the book at us because we 'cheated'.
    We've only got what's coming to us as far as they're concerned. We don't see that in our Rams bubble.
     
    Personally, I agree they're not fit for purpose but I'm in the bubble with you.

    I wouldn’t dream of saying to my wife let me have a go at that ironing, washing-up or hoovering, so personally I think it a bloody nerve that women seem to be muscling in on the playing of, and commentating on, football.

    Look at some of the title wins across Europe. Lille, Sporting, Atletico. How did this happen if there are irretrievable levels of financial inequality in the game?
    Look at some of the performances in the Premier League. How did Leicester and West Ham finish 5th and 6th ahead of the likes of Spurs and Arsenal?
    Look at the Championship. Luton, Barnsley and Wycombe had fantastic seasons despite this inequality.
    Football will always be like that. The haves, the have nots. That’s what makes the sport so incredible - seeing teams beat the odds.
    I’d say the same if I supported any other club. We have nothing to complain about. This system has been in place for decades. We have just never played it well.
    I’d totally share your point if we were a model club, had always lived within our means, and had still fallen short.
    But we had a spell of four top six finishes in six seasons and pushed the club to the limit financially after having a spell of being amongst the biggest spenders in the league. We missed our opportunity. No point crying about financial inequality now. We weren’t in 2015.

    It does seem that the ‘call for action’ is, showing signs of, err, flagging.

    Whilst that is true, Journalists are supposed to have 'sources' aren't they?
    If a journo has no sources, then he can't be much of a journo surely?
    I like Ed though ?
