Chris Hughton, a name that has been mentioned on this board as an experienced manager we should/could have bought in after Cocu was fired, is doing really well at Notts Forest, 3 games in and the cognoscenti in the Trent End are screaming you don’t know what your doing and demanding he is fired after 3 games. My point is that any managerial appointment is a crap shoot and can end in disaster no matter what the length of managerial experience, therefore I would state categorically our manager is not doing badly as a novice. 
 
If not for the 11 minutes of Gibson time at Peterborough we would now be top of the league, I for one am very happy with the current situation at the Rams

Same waist liner but no scotch accent, also I can read and write.

Not in grownup's world, swearing in front of women and children is boorish lowlife behaviour, patronising is "Now little lady let me explain the offside rule to you again".

Great servant but don’t let Forsyth anywhere near the pitch again please. Nearly cost us relegation last season the last day with all 3 mistakes and looked dodgy since came on 

Just wish some people would have the decency to give respect when it’s due. Get the feeling some on here wish we had let in a late equaliser so they can get an even bigger stick to beat him with 

Good to see someone else escaped from Chaddo as well

Greetings from "Across the pond" in Detroit. It took me while to gather my thoughts on this topic and commit to posting them.  
My Derby fandom arrived much later in life, at 45 years of age.   I grew up in Detroit and have always supported Detroit sports teams, as well as Michigan State and Notre Dame University.  I grew up playing soccer, as did my father, who emigrated from Croatia, as well as two of my three boys.  My middle son and I started following the club in the 2013-14 season. We were interested in finding an English team to follow and knowing Andy Appleby as a fellow metro-Detroiter we started to follow Derby, originally only through the team's twitter feed and the occasional broadcast on BEIN network.  We watched them through the playoff victory against Brighton, then the calamity against QPR.  
An additional Detroit-Derby link is through Roger Faulkner, a Derby supporter who was one of the co-owners of Detroit's 1970s NASL team, the Express.  
As we are acclimated to unfortunate twists of fate with our Detroit-area teams,(ie the Detroit Lions NFL team)  the playoff final defeat cemented our support of Derby County.  In the years since, we are charter subscribers of RamsTV  and are now able to follow a number of games on ESPN Plus.  I also follow this forum on a daily basis and do admire the folks who frequent this Board, such as B4 and David.  Your deep, heartfelt support of the club, usually with a healthy dose of humor, is a joy to peruse through these cyber-pages.   
Other random observations from the Motor City:
 - Whether my son and I ever get to Pride Park remains to be seen, it is definitely on our bucket list.  If any forum goers are in the neighborhood, I would be delighted to treat you a Detroit City FC soccer game.  They are our local team and have a game atmosphere that supporters such as yourselves can appreciate. 
- While Mel Morris has his detractors these days, in my view he was spot-on with regard to EFL television rights. They are tremendously undervalued.  The Championship is the most entertaining overseas league to watch, in my view.  The Premier League top clubs are usually the in the same group of 4-6.  The Bundesliga, La Liga, League 1 and Serie A are all dominated by super clubs, with the remaining teams just trying to stay up. What fun is that? The Championship season is a rock-fight every year. Evenly matched teams with historic rivalries.  A crabs-in-the-bucket attempted escape through either the untold fortunes of promotion or the richest game in football.  Conversely,  the trap door of relegation immerses a club in financial quicksand, without parachute payments to assist out of the morass.  
-  In a way, the reduced expectations of this year may make for a more enjoyable season than chasing promotion.  If the club average one point a game, they will be in a position to stay up at the end, which is the goal of this year.  In any other recent season a home draw to Huddersfield would be met with concern from Derby supporters. This year, it feels like a win. 
- Thank you for your contributions to the forum, which I have enjoyed reading through the years. I hope to meet up with some of your some day either at Pride Park or the next time Derby launch a summer tour of the US.

Quote me where I said they are. Just saying how it used to be back in the day that's all, so don't be surprised if some older people still live by those etiquette rules. Doesn't mean they are being patronising, just how men were brought up in life before the Internet.
To this day I have never swore in front or to my mum, I'm not sure that kind of respect exists today though.

Not in grownup's world, swearing in front of women and children is boorish lowlife behaviour, patronising is "Now little lady let me explain the offside rule to you again".

I have had a seat in the West Stand since Pride park was opened, as have the friends that I go to the game with, obviously now I live in the USA the number of games I can attend is limited but I can say the following about my experiences sitting there on my padded library seat.
* In the immediate vicinity, there are a number of women and young children, mainly young girls and anyone swearing gets reminded of that fact, bad language in front of the opposite sex and children is way out of order and perpetrators need to be cautioned as to their behaviour and language,
* We do not stand throughout the match as that means that the person in the seat behind cannot see and if anyone in front of me stood and I could not see the game, they would be forcefully put in their place. standing is acceptable for applause when we score 
*A lot of the fans in my area of seats have ailments which precludes them from standing ranging from severe arthritis, replacement joints to having cancer, so sitting is vitally important to them.
* The south stand singing is sometimes amusing but occasionally crosses the line, as did the singing about Forests owner when he died which was bang out of order and disgusting.
* South standers are welcome in the west stand, but need to behave in a civilised manner and have some regard for the older fans who are regulars there.
 

Verbally forceful of course, no violence in the west stand.

As the accounts will very soon be in the public domain, I cannot see how there could be an NDA in place, much more likely is a "Press Embargo" 

I believe that our younger players far from being demoralised have been lifted, motivated and enthused by the experience of playing the major part in beating all of the arm chair critics, doom merchants on twatter, media experts, and bookmakers , by coming back from losing 3 times during the match to win against a very physical bunch of cheating aoles and showing a will to win, their superior skill, and a determination to prove their manager was correct in showing his faith in playing them.
I think you owe Rooney an apology.

Loans are a balance sheet issue, not P&L which is the trading position of the club, the loans would be used to underwrite the excess spending and keep the club solvent.
As they were not, it would seem interest bearing they would not affect the P&L or cash position negatively.
