Bald Eagle's Barmy Army

agree, imo he's similar to Levy at Spurs. Runs the club and it's finances superbly. It's the fans who are the issue, most demand £40+ million pound signings when the owners know it's not poss.
Both highly successful businessmen who use their experience excellently in applying it to running their clubs.

Whoever it is, they will get my full backing until I see otherwise. 
 
Anybody that is seriously looking at Derby now deserve a chance to shine. 

Im not advocating Ashley, or any of the names listed, but all I think is this. The club has a real chance of going bust. Not existing. No Derby county. It is that serious. The club my dad has been a ticket holder for over 45 years and myself 25 plus. I can't comprehend not going with him to watch the club we both love.
For me, at this moment in time all I care about is this club surviving. I couldn't give a rats about Ashley and his time at Newcastle if I am honest, or evans and his time at Ipswich.
If you are starving you don't turn down boiled pasta because you would rather have lobster. You could be dead before anyone does.
The dream ticket will not arrive.
This will not be fixed in a couple of years. This will take 10 years. I think we have to embrace that.

The trouble is that we aren’t in Spurs or West Ham’s position, we’re in Bury, Macclesfield and Bolton’s position. 
 
As a club we also don’t expect to be in the top half of The Premier League every season. 

May as well appeal, the worst is 12 for admin + 9 for p&s, so new possible owners will know that already.
An appeal means it could go from 21 overall to 15, which we have overtuned 14 of already.
There is no doubting covid has had a huge impact on our income, whether that is 5m or 20m, had we received that money we may have stayed out of admin, how much we were losing a month/year before covid is irrelevant as the club still didnt go into administration then.
Good to see 4 groups (Evans, Moxey consortium, Brit abroad & then Carlisle Group) mentioned with then maybe Ashley & possibly the Gary Cook group who have been sniffing around since Alonso. Shows we are still an attractive club to buy.

Well first of all I think Derby (second highest attendance in the Championship in 2019-20) were most affected by covid than any other team (the team with highest attendance Leeds were promoted to Premier League so got access to a new  money tree) . Many other bigger teams were in receipt of parachute money (which did not reduce during covid) so were also much less affected. Smaller teams not affected so much as they were not relying on big gates anyway, so had smaller budgets. Also of course there is the covid loan that (for disputed reasons)  was denied Derby but not most other teams.
secondly, the club was up for sale, and yes that was probably because Morris was running out of money due to historic overspending. But like I say how do we know that a buyer would not have been found if covid had not come along?  
 

Nobody is saying that. They are saying COVID was the proximate cause of the administration , the final straw.

The argument for reducing the points deduction, rather than claiming it should be withdrawn completely, is precisely because it's accepted that Covid wasn't the only factor, but it was the one that tipped the club into insolvency. It isn't hard to understand that losing 2/3rds of the club's revenue would have a devastating effect if replacement funding wasn't forthcoming. 

Dunno why the Geordies always hated him. Just seems like they had delusions of grandeur.

Can't we just call it Gibbo's bitter and be done with it?? ??

Was it Steve Bloomers father by any chance. 

I hope he was wrong too and not meaning to shoot the messenger but, why would the father of an ex player know enough about the financial situation to question what the administrator is saying publicly? I doubt even the current players know a great deal more than most.

Didn’t Rooney say CKR and Bieliek back very soon? 
 
This IMO is the key to us scoring more and also keeping the defence as strong as possible. 

The DLF need to sort them out

I thought your point was fans shouldnt sing the word England because its not an England match?
By extension, you'd assume with it also not being a Forest match that you wouldn't want the people singing about Forest?

You probably need to lighten up a bit.
Id rather a bit of banter about England/Wales than them singing about Stan Collymore, Billy Sharp or Nigel Doughty.
Do you also find it cringeworthy when they sing songs about being from Derby?

Most stupidest comment ever. 
 
I’m guessing you was at PP to support the lads, yes? 

Highest Champ gate of the day.

Glad you got that off your chest.

I'm in Derby General Hospital ward 51, After having heart surgery, Ther surgeon says i'm a lucky fella...as the amount of blood loss from my bleeding heart after reading this next production of Jackanory could have meant me having no heart at all for fallen football players.
1. He goes into the Joiners Arms with other Derby players...OK
2. He never saw Tom Lawrence...OK
3. He wasn't overly intoxicated after the death of his Nan...OK
4. He gets into a 4x4 as there were other players in the 4x4...OK
5. He didn't think Tom was Rat Arsed...OK
6. Ambulance personel tells him he's been in a RTA...OK
7. He was in incredible pain...OK
8. Derby sacked him for Gross misconduct...OK
9. He never thought of suicide...OK
So in just those 9 short observations...who was actually at fault Mr Keogh? Telling all and sundry might clear your conscience, But in essense it's all down to you...OK!

Wonder if he was paid for the article? ,, his actions that night and the compo he fought for and disgustingly won are along with many other things part of the financial downfall of the club he says he cares for ,, tell you what Richard why not put your compo or some of it in a pot to help those blameless decent people who have lost they’re jobs and livelihood s at the club ,,, nah won’t happen , poor poor me in every sense but the bank account , take your garbage article / story and jog on ( me being polite)

I will probably get absolutely shot down for this but the the club, fans and players have been all though so much I think it’s time to let bygones be bygones.  For a large number of reasons the club hasn’t covered it’s self in glory and we would all cry foul if the wider football world were to condemn us to eternity for our misdemeanours. It’s a personal choice and the world isn’t a very forgiving place these days but I’m glad that Keogh accepts time is a healer and still has a place for Derby in his heart.
