bigbadbob reacted to Nuwtfly in Derby County Administration (with the slight possibility of Liquidation still there)
The Wagging-the-Finger Derby fans with their "well, you asked for it!" dribble have got to be the worst of the worst.
Yes, Karen. When I wanted us to sign Tom Ince from Hull I was in fact asking for administration and ruin. Nice one.

£10m less revenue for the year, cancelled out by sales such as Lawrence, Jozwiak, Byrne, and if absolutely necessary the academy graduates.
I've shown my workings out for cash flow many times over the past few months and I struggle to see how it results in administration. That remains the case until we no longer have assets (players) to sell.
To keep us going to the transfer window, Mel needs to find about £500k pw - he has stated he will cover that.

David's report is going to be like the Stone Rose's second coming. By the time it comes out everyone will have moved on years ago.

bigbadbob reacted to Tombo in The latest from the club via Chris Coles
I'm pretty sure David has quite a detailed writeup which will go through the meeting in full and disclose everything that can be disclosed.
Rather than release their own minutes, in which obvious boardroom bias would dominate, the club is allowing him to convey to the fans his fair judgements and observations from the evening, in as much detail as he possibly can.
I suspect for his own benefit and for the benefit of this forum, he has requested that anything from that writeup that violates the NDA is removed before it goes public. This essentially means that all of his notes and recollections are in there in full gory detail, and only the things that are legally required to be removed will be omitted.
I shouldn't have to tell you this, but that is a good thing. Once again, there's so many valid things you can have a pop at Mel for but this isn't one of them

This is the first post I have seen since opening the thread, and the perfect one to say I'm sorry if you have messaged/mentioned me and I have ignored you, this morning has been chaos in all honesty, I'm not being lazy, haven't stopped since 8am.
I am now just finalising things by getting a couple of points fact checked to ensure that what I put out is completely accurate and not spend the day/evening correcting myself.
Feel like I'm apologising a lot lately, it's just I want to you to know I'm not trying my best here, not looking to tease this out, get more views, likes, attention, nothing of the sort.
I'm being sent screenshots of abuse, tweets and posts asking to verify all morning across different platforms, I'm asking you to please stop, in fact please don't even react to this thread as it will only add further to my notifications I have to work through. Never had to deal with anything on this scale before and in all honesty, I'm struggling as I don't want to ignore any of you.
Thanks again to the many for understanding on the forum, love you all and the positive support from last night makes me proud of what we have all created, I just need a bit more time. ??

Would appear a tweet I made blew up in a way I never expected tonight as some of you saw.
Needless to say many have been blocked, no time for it.
Was never intended to be attention seeking, looking for followers or some how trying to tease fans.
There was a conversation taking place regarding the release of the minutes, thought I was being helpful by letting them know it would write ups only as no minutes were being taken. That’s it.
I was on a train with patchy 3G signal and expected to respond to a poo ton of people.
I have started the write up on my phone, well aware even more so tonight of fan frustration, just stepped off the train now, home in 20 and honestly, I’m off to bed and if that pisses more people off, so be it.

Zero point in protesting..Mel is doing his best to move the club on to new owners and we clearly can't meet the efl's demands to allow us to get new players in.
We need to make the best of what we have and Rooney must prove himself or hand over the reins.
We are where we are.

bigbadbob reacted to MACKWORTHRAM in The latest from the club via Chris Coles
How on earth can the manager of the football club expect to have players in this week.
Only for the owner to say nothing is happening.
Absolute disgrace.
Mel Morris has ruined this football club. I absolutely despise him.

An oasis of brilliance in some dark days, then scored the goals in our revival.

bigbadbob reacted to SamUltraRam in EFL appeal
I remember in 1983 when we beat Fulham on the last game of the season to stay up, there was a hell of a lot of celebrating ??

bigbadbob reacted to RoyMac5 in EFL appeal
They were celebrating achieving their goal of staying up. For all we fans think it should have been easy for them, when you heard the manager/players comments it obviously wasn't. They showed they cared and that matters.

Well I was jumping around like a ducking loon yesterday and if fans or players celebrating us staying up is such a massive embarrassment for you, then I'm delighted by your discomfort.

bigbadbob reacted to Eaststander7 in EFL appeal
It was an outpouring of relief. You even mention the word ‘relieved’ in a previous post.
For some on here we were doomed, definitely going down. We didn’t.
Horrific season? Yes.
Stayed up? Yes
It just shows the passion of the fans - all by the way who went down there pre and post match with it absolutely p*ssing down. The players went to say thank you. Get over it.

bigbadbob reacted to Jourdan in Frank Lampard
What an entirely foreseeable situation. It seems the only person who couldn’t see it was Frank himself.
He was so naive in taking the Chelsea job. He should have stayed here and grown with the club. Getting us promoted and re-established in the PL would have reflected far better on him as a manager.
For such a seemingly intelligent bloke, the lack of common sense and long-term thinking was astounding.
He knows exactly how both Chelsea as a club and Roman as an owner operate so he should have recognised that the moment he stopped hitting club targets, he would be at risk.
If no protection, time or patience was afforded to managers like Mourinho, Ancelotti and Conte, why would Roman treat him any differently?

Haha!
Left us in limbo so feck him. Completely disrupted our summer.
But this also ends our "special relationship" with Chelsea?
