Can't stand Jordan either but to be fair I, along with a lot on this forum, trusted Mel

We didn't vote for brexit just to have more imminents.... ?

Didn’t we all trust Mel. Or at least the majority of us. I know I did. Hindsight is a wonderful thing

Politician sees easy win in saying "save the local football team" whilst not having any actual power with which to do so.
Club survives, "it was me" club is liquidated "wouldn't have happened if my side had been in charge"
Easy game this politics lark.
 

Bolton fan in peace and sincerely hoping you survive. Just a comment regarding HMRC from our experience. HMRC tried to have us wound up by issuing a winding-up order on a number of occasions, first occasion was £600k bill and that was resolved in court by our ex-owner (we think) writing a cheque. The second occasion was just before we went into Admin with a bill of ~£1.2m. We went to court a number of times as the search for a new owner was continuing (prior to Admin - which I think protects you from Winding up orders) eventually we went into Admin, as it was clear we couldn't clear that debt.
When the deal completed, as I understand it, pretty much our first cheque from the new owners, was to HMRC to settle the outstanding.
The situation was same with Bury, over much smaller amounts. HMRC issued a number of winding up orders.
It felt to us like HMRC were just dying to wind up a few football clubs, and in our case, there was no "dealing" with them, other than to find a way to pay and buying time through the Admin route.
 
Good luck with your fight - it's always the fans that suffer.

But you miss the point too, which is that our finances came under scrutiny because we spent a shed load on crap players on large salaries, had to sell our ground, had to try to be clever with amortisation, didn't file our accounts for 2-3 years, didnt pay the taxman, and appeared on a TV expose regarding football chancers. Other clubs turn to be in the media spotlight will undoubtedly come - I agree with that - but at the moment the full glare of the lights are on us as Mel Morris turned us into a basket case.

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

Thought ours were over a few days ago... until some Bamford started letting them off five minutes ago.

Everyone free of fireworks now?
 
Last night was the first night we didn't have any since last Wednesday or Thursday or so
 
Just about happy for the cat to roam the streets at night again now

Worth pointing out again, it's not just dogs that are affected by this anti social behaviour, it's cats, rabbits, horses, wildlife, elderly, PTSD and even people with autism. Fail to see how anyone can look at these and just laugh it off. 
Thankfully there are some considerate people out there
 

Don't worry everything is going to be ok.... Bielik is going to come back from injury and single handedly keep us up

Who will come here? Loan players probably.
5x Premier League loans until the end of the season and maybe 1 or 2 signings from League One perhaps?
The loans go back and the worst that'll happen to the League One players is they'll end up back in League One, or they could play really well and get themselves another Championship club in the summer.

I love the fireworks not going to lie, but unless it's a big commercial display, they are pretty pants....... 
 
The cat is not so much a fan, his nightly hunting sessions are on hold, and sleeps in bed with us.
 
As some have suggested, some sort of window for them would be good, not every day for a week, between the hours of 5pm-3am....  and I get called boring, saddo, get a life etc, and I get people want to have fun, but it seems people are so strung up on the fact it's their right and not against the law, that they really don't give a f about neighbours, babies, pets

I don't want to put a downer on it
But if we are out of administration, and can sign a couple of players, who wants to come here? Will the club and Rooneys name be enough to sign anyone substantial in Jan? 
It's going to take a big effort from the talent accusation team, and I'm not so sure they've covered themselves in glory the last few years

I didn't see how he performed against Blackburn but I think the main issue is....
We know there's some talent there, you can just tell
He looks like he's about to be brilliant
He does it for Poland
He seems like a genuinely likeable guy that wants to do well
But when it comes down to goals and assists, and as a winger/forward, that's what we expect and judge a player on, he just doesn't seem to quite do it in a Derby shirt.
Whatever the reason, himself, playtime, team fit, it just doesn't seem to work.
And it pains me, as I thought he would be a quality signing, I've bigged him up to those around me from the get go.
Maybe for himself more than  anything, he needs a new challenge, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him playing at a level above us at some point.
