  1. Serious question, given that the club has to be financially self supporting, where do you expect the extra cash to come from?
  2. Who can forget the highly catchy song dreamt up by their fans “derby’s going down with a fiver in the bank” and the way we were showered with photocopied £10 pound notes at their Nottingham slum, Karma is a bitch and I am loving every second of their misfortune, come on Luton!!!!!
  3. In the infamous words of the Liverpool legend that was Alan Hansen " you cannot win anything with kids", he was wrong when talking about Man united, but I believe his comment is correct when talking about the current Rams Team. Looking at last nights game our goal scorers were Barks aged 30, Collins aged 33, and Hourihane aged 30. In fact our top 5 scorers this season include those 3 plus Waggy aged 33 and NML aged 31. The latest great new young sensation JJ flattered to deceive and is absolutely not an answer to lowering the average age of our goal scorers ( he may however win a prize for falling over dramatically), and I can see no youngsters in the squad who come close to the abilities of our OAP mainline scorers. I have been a quiet critic of Warne's managerial style, but I now accept and believe we need experienced journeymen to achieve promotion, we definitely will not get promotion playing kids.
  4. I believe it has to be decided before April this year and sanctions implemented, so as the Premier league does not end up with the EFL Derby/Wycombe/Boro situation and law suits flying around
  5. They check your ticket on a flight if you are turning left instead of right on boarding
  6. I don't believe we are up for sale at the moment I get a notification whenever a football club goes up for sale, Fyi I got this one below recently, FWIW I cannot see DC selling unless he gets all of his investment back including the funds he is injecting to cover current running costs, therefore no sale until at least in the championship. Finally I would point out that being owned by a billionaire is no guarantee anymore the most successful are owned by countries (Man City, PSG, etc) or Private Equity (think Chelsea)/Pension funds (think Ipswich) Football Club UAE Third Division League Businesses For Sale - Sports Teams - United Arab Emirates - New Arrival - $5,000,000 Member Rating: Premium content.

  7. As DC owns all of the shares any sale of the shares, then the cash would go to DC and NOT THE CLUB The only way an investor could put money in would be for fresh shares to be issued and then the cash raised could be used by the club, however as DC owns 100% of the shares with a face value of say £1 per share then someone investing £25 million at a pound a share to match DC would only own, 33% of the club. No outside person(s) is going to invest, it will be all or nothing before DC relinquishes control. DC owns the club and he can run it as he wishes so all his critics out there can suck it up. FWIW DC probably has got buyers remorse with PW but will not throw good money after bad at the moment.
