Oh good grief, MNF ?♂️

I remember a Wolves player, Peter Knowles, giving the game up at quite a young age to become a Jehovah’s Witness. Seem to remember it raised a few eyebrows at the time.
*edited as I actually thought he’d become a vicar but a bit of research confirmed the JW situation.

Well done on your perseverance @loweman2. ? He looks a nice older man in that photograph, you’d never think he was a very tough cookie looking at him, certainly not one to take liberties with.
You’ll have to tell us how you got him to change mind after his initial reluctance to your requests sometime.

I must have a warped sense of humour, i find her quite funny at times?
Aw, I’m sorry to read that, but we all have our crosses to bear. ?

Cant see what sarah millican has got to do with Derby though.
The comparison (for me) is that Mel Morris is/was as good for Derby County FC as Sarah Millican is as good for comedy, ie, not very good at all. ?

So there was no need for that remark at all then.
Well I clearly thought there was otherwise I wouldn’t have made it.

Yes, yes, it is my opinion, that’s why I wrote “ in my opinion”

It seems he spent more than 12 million. What do you mean about the sarah millican remark.
Oh for sure he did, but on the 10/12 million, I was thinking along the lines of the Bradley Johnson/Jacob Butterfield transfers which amounted to around that figure and my, at the time, thinking “ nice one Mel” (not that I thought that in retrospect regarding Butterfield, it just didn’t really happen for him here)
Re the Sarah Millican remark, in my opinion, she is not funny and would make a good comedienne sick.

Before everyone starts condemming me i am not standing up for morris, but i didnt hear many fans calling for his head when he was splashing the cash.
Come on Kath, that line doesn’t wash. People saw Morris as a competent and responsible businessman. As far as I’m concerned, if we were spending 8, 10, 12 million quid it was, I believed, budgeted for. There was a business plan.
Yeah, I thought it was great and I was all “ good old boy Mel” but I never thought for a second Morris would turn out to be to Derby County what Sarah Millican is to comedy.

“There weren’t too many fans moaning about how much we were spending in the Clement and Pearson eras” ?
Maybe that’s because they were under the impression the club was being run responsibly and any investment was budgeted for.
And by the way, can anyone tell me if Pearce is still taking a wage from the club ?

They'll probably be going in the opposite direction...
Let’s hope not. ?

Do you think he could be homeward bound then ?
Depends on whether he’s got a ticket for his destination. ?

I can’t make up my mind whether a successful appeal would make me happy for the club most of all or what impact it would have on our friend from OTIB. I wouldn’t rule out spontaneous combustion altogether.

Morris knew the consequences of the rules imposed by the EFL, you make it sound like it was a surprise to be docked the 12 points.

Can’t be bothered to tell you.

I’m wondering who the four voters are that voted for Morris to come back. I dare say he’s basically a nice man, kind to animals and good to his family but I can’t help thinking he’s vexed the EFL and Gibson so badly any return would be hugely detrimental to the club, they want to put him in his place and wouldn’t let go until they’ve succeeded.
Maybe they four people were just having a laugh mind. ?♂️
Anyway, I voted Kirchner. I read a link from a newspaper regarding the Easdale brothers and it painted an impressive picture of astute business acumen and I initially thought aye, they’ll do for me...then I read another one an hour or so later and thought oh-oh, probably not.
For the record, I’d be disappointed to see Moxey or Rush having any involvement in the club but that’s just me.

How long left ? 6 nil is a dangerous score, can’t risk Blackburn getting back into the game. ?

Now, I like the cut of their jibs, “Failure terrifies us, so we don’t let it happen”.
Obviously no fools and got where they are today by hard graft, working in their fathers scrapyard and taxi driving at night, respect to them.
Got no problem with Kirchner, but if these two are interested in buying the club I don’t see that as a bad thing either.
Hmm, might have been a bit previous with this post. Just read another post containing a link which concerned me a little. I’ll say no more as I also read about a bloke getting heftily fined for posting something he shouldn’t have about the brothers.
Better tell the Mrs to hold fire on the tatties and neeps I was planning to have for my tea tonight.
To blame Derby fans for DCFC problems is nonsensical

I’m sure the salary Mr Pearce has earned during his employment at the club plus any severance pay due will ensure he’s more comfortable financially than those who were in the first batch of redundancies.
Forgive me shedding no tears over his fate.
