Would love to see the entire crowd in Gibson masks v Middlesbrough (h)

I hope we are one of the clubs who voted in favour of this. Boil a little more piss when other clubs see our name in the list.

Load of subjective nonsense. From your own carefully selected texts...
"We accept that the club has at no time sought to mislead the EFL"
"In all other respects (bar the one line in our accounts describing out amortisation policy) we accept that the club has acted with candour and transparency in its dealings with the EFL"
If these appear damning condemnations, rather than mealy-mouthed excuses for their inept handling of the investigations and subsequent appeals, then fair enough, but we'll have to agree to disagree. It was openly accepted that the EFL failed to understand the methodology used and the terminology that described it. Somehow, that has morphed, in the minds of some, into some carefully orchestrated campaign to hoodwink the EFL.
The focus should not now be further baseless accusations levelled at a club who have been driven to the brink, but rather on the astounding lack of professionalism displayed by a sporting body who have shown themselves to be both hugely hypocritical and vindictive in equal measures. If their board had an ounce of self-respect, then resignations would be being submitted as we speak, yet despite this pointless and ultimately fruitless campaign against the club, their noses will remain firmly in the trough.
Frankly, I think the club have remained remarkably dignified in the their conduct over the course of the last 18 months, certainly when compared to the EFL, Gibson and that utter gobshite of an owner at Wycombe.

You’re  right, that’s exactly what it is, however, a professional organisation should not look as if it’s on a mission to punish a member club, a bland statement saying following legal advice there are no grounds for an appeal would have sufficed.

Their statement is pathetic. If your own lawyers are telling you there’s no grounds for appeal (as DCFC had said in their own statement a week ago), then carrying on talking as if we’d done something worth a points deduction is deeply unprofessional. 
 
Prattling on about rule changes due to something we’d done is also unprofessional. They drafted the original rules, and could easily have said straight line amortisation is the only permitted method. The fact that they didn’t is their own oversight. 
 
Petulant, idiotic organisation. 

Excellent point. Who's the audience for a message phrased like that? 
Do you think somebody cut and pasted from the email to gibbo? 
?

All the best to him - yes we paid to much but yes at least he actually tried his best for us unlike far too many in my opinion 

I’d just like to say for all he could’ve done better, he was whole hearted, gave his all in a Rams shirt, none more than the last day when it mattered.
He was likeable, specially how he opened up about his demons, wish he’d achieved more for that reason alone. Both him and the club need a change, hopefully he has a good season bar playing us.

He was just being honest - if they were playing a formation they didn’t know how to play that’s on the manager. Who in my view is utterly clueless. 

He scored 5 from 32 appearances last season. He only got his arse in gear after Rooney tore a strip off him - he then got injured!
In the present circumstances (I posted after the EFL decision) he can happily take two years at Coventry. I'm sure I'd rather Duncan or Stretton take his place.

Never a story I'd posted before... But one none the less. When we got tanked against Rotherham back in Feb saw him at a bank in Derby. Heard someone ask him what happened against Rotherham, he told them that Rooney had them playing a formation that they had no idea how to play and no players knew their role. Hearing a player say that, no ownership for being s*#t that day and all the blame on the manager. 
Not the kind of footballer we need at the club. 

I know he wasn't Martin but but he scored us a lot of goals Roy so,in the present circumstances,I'd of been glad to keep him on this season....i really don't think we can afford to get anyone in who's any better at the minute and we definitely need another striker in to supplement ckr.

Decent player, and assuming he was on at absolute max 8k a week. Gladly keep him, but I assume it was much more!
Thanks for keeping us up and good luck at Coventry!

Decent player, think we'll probably miss him.
Still think he's good for 10 goals a season in champ, even after a poor year with us

Sad to see him go, loved his commitment & presence. That said, his output last season was pretty ordinary & probably a good time to part ways given his likely wage demands.
Will never forget his contribution last day of the season though, different class. All the best Waggy & look forward to giving you a big cheer next time you're at PP

Even more good news! #COYR

all the best waggy thanks for keeping us up mate 
 

How can he be any kind of loss when he contributed nothing ...should never have been signed hope he enjoyed being paid a decent wage for doing absolutely nothing ...as much as i have sympathy for people with problems why did DCFC think it was a good idea to sign him in the first place

I have a different take on this I'm afraid. As another poster has pointed out, it was clear from the start where the problems lay.
This whole situation smacks of a complete lack of due diligence, desperation and a finger in the wind strategy. 
 

He's had his contract cancelled by mutual consent. 
No surprise really. It's a shame, but it's been growing clearer that football isn't his focus now.

Why do you see Rooney as any better than Cocu ...I accept you didn't like Cocu that is obvious...you were very quiet when we played well and always found fault yet Rooney with a worse record and seemingly devoid of any direction/progress can do no wrong ?? Why ? 1 win in 15 games was woeful against some pretty poor teams as well

Great post sir....
