    Can we please retire the Collymore song forever? I was in nappies when he played for Forest and barely in school when during his short-lived Leicester career, and I can't imagine many of the fans there even really know who he is.
    I promise you, nobody cares about Collymore in 2021. Please drop it

    It’s my wife’s birthday soon and she’s really difficult to buy for, so I asked what she wanted “Get me something silky”
    No doubt this tin of emulsion will be the wrong colour for her.

    That's not about technical ability - That's about effectiveness
    There's a whole thread for talking about Jozwiak - Most of which is the same few people having a pop at him - I think people are just saying why not talk about Ebosele in here and Jozwiak over there?
    But for me:
    The lad is 23 - Moved to a new country where he doesn't speak the language well - Trying to settle into a bottom 3 side and a relegation battle when he'd been signed as a player to help us challenge for the top end - Went through a change of manager and (arguably) two changes of playing style - Alongside his best mate and key link up player getting a horrific injury (for the 2nd time in 2 years) - Oh and on top of that it was all during a period where the entire country went into lockdown and he had to try and settle in a new place isolated from everyone he knows, unable to even visit home or have any friends/relative visit him
    Given all that it's not a massive shock that he's taken a bit of time to settle

    Rooney has had multiple interviews now, where he has been asked the question about walking away. He consistently says no. We have been crying out for stability and loyalty from a manager since Nigel Clough. He arguably has the toughest job of any manager for as long as I can remember supporting Derby (22 years) and despite having a bare minimum squad and having all the problems above him, he continues to show that he cares and wants to do well. 
    We are starting to see a style of play which is exciting and attacking with the handful players he has. 
    I think it's about time everyone starts to show respect to him instead of wanting him out. Any other manger would have left us in this mess. 
     
    He's sticking with us, we need to stick with him !!

    Bigfella reacted to Mick Harford in The latest from the club via Chris Coles   
    Found the RD interview pretty interesting, more because of what was not said than what was said.
    My take on it, my thoughts after I've looked at what is in the public domain.
    I posted a while back about what I'd heard re: an American consortium taking over, I have heard nothing to suggest that this is no longer the case.
    I've experience of dealing with due diligence for American companies, and boy do they love an NDA personally I've signed around a dozen, and what Mel couldn't talk of last night leads me (hopes) to believe that the silence through official channels is as a result of an NDA between Mel/DCFC and the consortium. The NDA between the club and bidders will also be separate and differ to the one between Mel and the fans groups last night.
    I understand that a  lot of us are upset/frustrated/disappointed/angry and it's only human nature to want to point the finger and find someone to blame, but I'm hoping that it's more a question of cannot rather than will not when it comes to the lack of direct engagement with the fanbase.
    I'd also suggest that the consortium are waiting for the accounts and actual level of debt to be finalised before moving forward, as I understand the accounts have to be submitted at latest in 13 days, so I reckon that it's more end of month/transfer window rather than start of season before we see proper movement.
    I know we all want answers ASAP, but it might just be a question of wait out on this and when there is news then there is news.
    I'd also ask that we remember what we have in common, that we are all Derby and want the best for the club, my view is that sniping at each other, different groups, posters and dismissing with terms such as wrist slashers or happy clappers does nothing good bar possibly making you feel better for a few second., Whilst people may have a different view debate is good, sarcasm, anger abuse in my view is not. I feel the club, with the dire straights we are in, need the fanbase to step up show why we are amongst the best in the country and support the club, manager and players during what is going to be a testing season.
    Jesus, I've rambled a lot for a post that is just my opinion and not fact. Sorry.

    He is paying for  the club to carry on running without him it’s definitely Administration or Liquidation and we don’t want that.

    Bigfella reacted to Tamworthram in The coronabrexit thread. I mean, coronavirus thread   
    People’s rights should protected provided they do not endanger others. You could argue that you should have the right to have a few pints and then drive your own car or, you should have the right to drive your high powered car at what ever speed you choose on the motorway, or carry a loaded gun but clearly those are personal rights that need to be restricted. If (and it’s a massive if I know) that it is widely accepted that wearing masks in certain circumstances, track and trace and vaccine passports for certain limited situations really do help control the spread of the virus then, for the greater good, perhaps it’s not unreasonable for them to be considered.
