Gringo got a reaction from Kathcairns in Embargo.
Would this be the same Simon Jordan that took Palace into administration in 2010?

Gringo got a reaction from I know nuffin in Embargo.
Under review, the EFL cannot multitask, I think we are being used as the sacrificial lamb to frighten all the other teams .

Gringo reacted to Day in On the Inside with Wayne Rooney
I didn't see it advertised anywhere as a documentary.
Everyone moans that we're always the centre of negative press, yet here we are with one of the games modern greats nipping into Moor Farm, speaking positively about the work Rooney is doing and look at the reaction.
And why does the win stat over this year and last season need to be churned out day after day, last season is gone, it's over.
This season it's clear to see performances have improved and we're sat higher in the table than clubs with far more experienced managers and squads at their disposal.
When's the guy gonna be given a break? Maybe there is a positive atmosphere behind the scenes, which is great to hear, can we not just enjoy a bit of positivity amongst all the daily doom gloom.

The thing is with all these comments about Roos' performance (and keepers in general down the years) it's a team game and nowhere is that more obvious and important than that partnership between keeper and central defence. You get an understanding as you learn what the others are going to do in certain situations and what their strengths are.
From a keeper perspective, if you find that you don't trust your central defence as they sometimes lose a man or regularly get outjumped then you find yourself coming for crosses that perhaps you wouldn't. Likewise, as a central defender, if your keeper gets caught flat footed on his line and doesn't deal with crosses then you find yourself perhaps stretching for a header that you'd ideally leave for the keeper, possibly resulting in failing to clear the lines properly or heading vertically and chaos ensues. The opposition also notice and then just keep swinging it into the same zone of uncertainty.
Confidence breeds confidence in the partnership between central defence and keeper and while we'd ideally have slightly younger versions of Jags and Davies, their decision making is honed by years of experience and the keeper really benefits from this because some of the more risky decision making is made for you.
Really pleased for Roos and the defence last night. That was a massive test and they showed huge determination and resilience. Sure, West Brom probably should still have won but you give yourself a shot of getting something from the game if you make the opposition score their goals rather than gifting them freebies.

Rio Ferdinand Presents FIVE
"After Derby hold impressive away draw against top table West Brom we take a look behind the scenes at Derby’s training ground. Rio takes a look at his ex team mates role as a manager to see what happens on the inside. From the kit man, to drones and exclusive behind the scenes view of training."

Gringo reacted to G STAR RAM in WBA Away
What was lucky about it?
Our defenders are there to defend and our goalkeeper is there to keep the ball out of the net.
Our defensive players and goalkeeper, between them, did their jobs brilliantly.
Don't remember anything too lucky happening for us.

No reason whatsoever except that could blow up the negotiations with the EFL,Mel will be acting under legal advice, which can be summed up as " you do not show your hand to the other players if you are playing poker before betting"

But surely the EFL do and they can look at those facts and apply the letter of the law regarding a punishment and apply it.
The thing is I don't think they can otherwise they would have done so. They are aware it could be challenged as it seems to be subjective and retrospective which explains why they're trying to 'negotiate' a punishment.
All a load of face saving testicles by the EFL to me. The longer it rumbles on and the legal fees mount, they'll be more disharmony by the remaining 23 teams as they are being billed for this.
I still think we should fight on regardless.

Yes all paid off, very significant move, a sure sign that financial situation is being resolved.

Mel owns the ground, there is a charge on it by MSD, this is the same as your house having a mortgage on it with the Derbyshire, you would not say they own it, your name would still be on the deeds.

Source for the £50m.
We have a long leasehold on the ground.
We have never owned the training facilities.

Each case is judged on its own merits.
Interesting that you go on about it not being Victorian times but would gladly sack someone with mental health issues and a drink problem.
Keogh was not sacked because he was of no use, he was unable to carry out his duties.
