    richinspain reacted to Day in Steve Gibson trying to liquidate Derby   
    It's just reached the point of pure embarrassment, from Boro, Wycombe and the EFL.
    All those rival fans that are finding joy in all this when they could easily be next, wake up.
    The game is littered with utter BS, we tried to find a different way with amortisation to compete with those awarded millions for failure, which the EFL retrospectively on Gibson's request found us guilty. 
    Naughty Derby, grow up.
    Rules have been retrospectively added to cover the EFL arses. Google enhanced embargo, see what comes up, Derby County, there was never a enhanced embargo before all this, it's something you came up with as Mel Morris publicly challenged you.
    Meanwhile we have state owned clubs when sponsorships for official hotels, soaps and rubber ducks for 10x what they could buy this club for in the Premier League.
    Do you not even realise how anti competitive the league that's responsible for your revenue is, do you not realise that the very existence of the Championship relies on multi millionaires prepared to be losing upwards of half a million a month, it's not sustainable even by your own rules.
    Derby County reject a bid for their player which could be derisory, yet the EFL are on our case, are we in the position now where we have to sell Jason Knight for a fiver to keep Rick Parry happy, if that's the case then just end the game now.
    We lost Kaide Gordon to Liverpool for a bag of monster munch and Freddo over that deal you agreed with the PL, how is that looking after your member clubs when they have to gift wrap the young stars that have been educated both on an off the field to satisfy the greed of the top 6 in this country.
    Explain the benefit of that deal to your member clubs, please explain as from the fans that love the game, all we see is our clubs being screwed over.
    Out of 2 play off finals which we were beaten, we were beaten by clubs that would have failed EFL FFP, we took it on the chin yet here we are, one club using bookies odds to build a case and another that didn't even earn promotion on merit jeopardising the existence of this club.
    Meanwhile the MSM are far more interested in the likes of Man United and Newcastle to even realise what is going on outside the gold pit. The game is dying whilst the "journalists" are far more interested in finding the next tweet to create a clickbait article than actually do their jobs.
    Nobody wants to touch it, why? We have a Serbian tennis player refused entry to a country and tournament, everyone, every journalist in sport is weighing in as we're sat here in limbo over let's not forget, retrospective punishment.
    The EFL signed off our accounts that we have now been punished for, let that sink in.
    I'm sick of it, sick of the rival fans looking to take the piss without understanding the situation, sick of the incompetent governing bodies, sick of Gibson and that Wycombe numpty.
    We've rolled over, accepted the retrospective punishment, saved the EFL embarrassment of explaining themselves in court, yet the EFL are too gutless to tell the curly haired one to shut up as they are in fear of landing themselves in court over the utter shambolic way they have ran this league.
    Grow some balls Rick, accept some responsibility over how the investigations were handled and do the right thing, tell Gibson to F off, tell Wycombe to F off and learn from your mistakes.

    Please don’t do any damage to the Riverside stadium, players cars, team bus etc it could seriously damage our takeover prospects.

    richinspain reacted to Steve Buckley’s Dog in Steve Gibson trying to liquidate Derby   
    If the EFL don’t sort this pathetic nonsense out then we will know exactly where they stand. I think we need to start our case against Villa and QPR. Also Liverpool for failing to control their fans costing us a place in Europe in 1989. Obviously Charlton will sue for the ball bursting in the 1946 FA cup final so that game might need replaying. Fulham will sue for the game in 1983 which is fair enough. Can someone find Paul Emson and Mick Brolly for the replayed game that needs to take place? Perhaps we can have a reset and play every game since 1945 to make sure that all is above board.
     
    Poor Gibson. He wanted Waghorn so badly that when he was available on a free this summer he wasn’t interested. It’s a crying shame isn’t it. It’s Coventry I feel sorry for. Having signed Pickering, Coop, Konjic and Powell from them, the case against them is pretty clear cut and could bankrupt them. I would instruct the lawyers straight away.
    Football is dead if the EFL don’t put these whining losers back in their box. The contempt I feel for them has no bounds.

    Like @IslandExile, I don't consider Ashley as the perfect owner.
    There are better options out there, but alas, none of them seem interested in taking control of DCFC.  
    Of those that do (seem interested), I'd say Ashley is the all-round better of those options.
     
    If and when he arrives, he'll get encouragement and support from me, along with my hopes of a brighter future.
    Some harsh comments on here, towards @IslandExile, and totally out of context with his initial comments.

    Just about scraped myself off the ceiling - ooh, err matron!
    Great team selection tonight, another fantastic blood and guts performance from the lads, laced with no small amount of good football too. Further credit to Wayne and the coaches; the right subs made at precisely the right time. Full kudos, they got it absolutely spot on tonight in every regard. 
    For my part, I can't help but love this squad. For years now, even under Mac1 when we had a seriously good footballing side, we always had something of a soft centre. These lads, however, are tough as teak and are showing just the kind of gritty resolve we've so often lacked. In an era when most players seem to be all about themselves, these lads play for each other and the fans. Just watch how they react to every challenge, every save, every goal and every point secured. We talk about pride in the shirt and rightly so. These lads have it in spades. And what about those fans of ours! Our lot are now indisputably the most rabidly fervent collective of madheads anywhere in the EFL. No contest! 
    All these elements combined have topped off a wonderful festive period for me and mine and I really hope for yous lot too. With another 4 days before I even consider doing any work again and the chance to pop another 3 points on the board in the interim, this has been a holiday I'll not forget for a long while and I'm bursting with pride for this maddening, yet wonderful club of ours. Folks have espoused the opinion that suitors would be mad to invest in Derby County FC. Personally, I think they'd be mad not to.
