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

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.

Very unpopular opinion and can hardly believe I'm saying it...
But I would get the points deduction sorted, get new owners in and hope they say 'Thanks for steadying the ship Wayne' and give Neil Warnock the job to keep us up, with a huge retirement bonus if he does. 
He has proved he can have a big impact in the past and whilst he wouldn't stick around, I don't see Wayne happily toiling away in League 1, surely easier for him to blame us for being a basket case and hope someone gives him another chance elsewhere.  Plus, I have no confidence he would have the skills to get us out of that League anyway. 

Baby Joshua born just over an hour ago..Nice and healthy and the wife is fine too..couldn't be there as have 2 girls under 4 but they are excited..cheers for all the kind reactions..might find time for a beer ? 

Interesting pre season article in unfamiliar shirts.

Although nothing to do with this season, here are some Tim Ward images no one will have seen, they are his personal images.

Throw Morris under the bus??
Behave! Morris treated Rooney terribly. Non existent communication, without a care in the world for what admin meant to people. I don’t think Rooney did throw him under the bus, but Morris definitely doesn’t deserve any sympathy. Terrible chairman. Rooney handled that situation brilliantly. 

So we started the season and played the first ten or so games in this hybrid shirt, a blend of the old design with the hooped neck and cuffs, this was of course the first attempt at Brian Clough’s to replicate the England kit, away from Black and White to Blue and White, also the Ram was new, the snorting ram, it had a bit of attitude about it and has sat there ever since.

Next generation? 

It'll be Appleby and Co.
So far they have remained completely professional and still to this day have made it known there is interest.
My opinion it will be Appleby, Rush and Moxey. 

On another note..my good lady wife has just had the phonecall from hospital telling her to come in to be induced for our baby number 3..(he was due 2nd Nov).
New life..exciting times..im hoping my club is healthy and preparing for a new life as well, one that my boy can love and enjoy as much as I have throughout my life.

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. 

Thank you very much! 

Congratulations @Andicisa fine achievement. ?

I graduated! 

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.

Find it hard to criticise Rooney too much this season. Last season felt different. Derby have fewer options this season, even less competition for places than before, no possibility of buying players and the deduction. 
Apart from a few games recently, Derby have been a tougher team to beat and had a solid defence. Just still the same attacking problems which isn’t down to coaching or management- it’s lack of options - injuries Depth/ lack of quality. 
Can’t believe he’s still here to be honest. He doesn’t need the money. He’s fighting and his conduct has been great. If Derby had a goal scorer and a few more players to add depth, the table would be looking different.
