    Pearl Ram reacted to RadioactiveWaste in Supporters Groups Meeting with Administrators   
    I'm still a little puzzled about Stephen Pearce being attach to club as the CFO of a business insolvency. I get that he probably has a unique knowledge of all the tricks he and Morris were using but we're surely well beyond handover duties now.
    If it's because he has to be because he alone has the answers to a lot of the questions that is not a sign of well run business (apart from the whole being in administration sign of not being a well run business)

    I remember when this forum was fun, not a point scoring exercise.
    We didn't even have red numbers on our backs, in those days!

    Somebody should retweet that St John Ambulance tweet to the Daily Mail. They’ve had nothing good to report on us for a while, it would be interesting if they took the story up or blanked it for not fitting their agenda.

    Bertie Mee said to Bill Shankley. “Have you heard of the North Bank High-Bur-Ee”? Shanks said “No, I don’t think so, but I’ve heard of The Pop Side Derby”
    True story that. ?

    When I was about 16 I delivered a single bed to Charlie George, he gave us 10 bob, well, 50p but that was a decent tip back then. I think the shop I worked for was recommended by Colin Todd because we delivered another single bed maybe for Andy ?‍♂️ the week before but I can’t remember if he tipped us or not.

    His contribution to charity has been fantastic. Needs separating from the mess he’s left Derby in ( not just him- why is the financial manager / CEO getting off lightly??).

    Done. Great initiative. 
    Just spotted that a Forest fan had praised the initiative and made a contribution. That’s nice to see.

    Pearl Ram got a reaction from r_wilcockson in Steve Gibson trying to liquidate Derby   
    I work with a Boro fan, great bloke actually, but he loves Gibson, he’s very highly thought of up there so I would think any support from their fans would be as likely as the EFL doing something positive for the game.
    Myself, I think a swift dose of karma (and maybe a severe dose of The Chalfonts) is in order for a man content to deprive the thoroughly decent people putting their hands in their pockets to cover the debt owed to St Johns Ambulance of their local football club. Shame on him.

    Pearl Ram got a reaction from Kathcairns in Staying up this season would be a greater achievement than winning the English League title.   
    If we stay up this season it will be a remarkable achievement don’t  get me wrong, but for me, becoming the League Champions for the first time tops it. 
    A very good Arsenal team had done an almost unprecedented double the year before and Leeds boasted a team of 11 current international players every week at the time, much disliked, they were a formidable team and Shanks was getting close to making Liverpool a force to be reckoned with.
    So topping the table with those illustrious teams behind us was a big deal indeed. If we weren’t skint I think it would have been a nice gesture of the club to give the surviving players some kind of memento to celebrate that achievement but we are where we are and times are hard, more’s the pity.

    Hi
    Bournemouth supporter here and congratulations on the win yesterday. Should have been a draw but that's not what I came on here for.
    In 2008-09 we were on zero points after 19 games - having started on -17. We were also under a transfer embargo, were struggling to pay players and had a  team with several on-league and out-of-contract recruits. For us the rest is History as Eddie Howe stepped up from youth team coach on 1st  January, lost his first 2 games but we stayed up on 46 points. 
    OK! OK! I know it was League 2, and you don't want a Bournemouth history lesson. My point simply is - it can be done. Your home support may just help -it was pretty impressive yesterday.
    Hope you manage it.
    Good luck.
