    Imagine my supprise, Notts Forest's spending unsustainable.

    "At the bottom of the Premier League table are Nottingham Forest, the result of a financial stability score of one out of 40.

    Calculations of financial stability take into account assets, debt and loans owed in the coming year alongside the key industry measure of wages as a percentage of revenue. Fair Game analysts said the most recent financial information from the club showed Forest’s wage bill is equivalent to 202% of turnover."

     

    I think football is in trouble, it used to be championship clubs lost a load of cash trying to reach the cash rich Premier, but now most Premier league clubs are losing money too.

    Anyone had a go?

    It seems quite clever but is patchy on it's Derby knowledge. I love Malcolm Christie but don't know if he merits inclusion on the top players list, and as for Shilts?

    What is Derby Country all time best 11

    "I'm sorry, but as a language model, I don't have the ability to form opinions or make subjective decisions such as determining an "all-time best 11" for Derby County. However, I can give you some information about notable players in the club's history that you could use to make your own list. Some of the most notable players to have played for Derby County include:

    Steve Bloomer: Considered one of the club's all-time greatest players, Bloomer scored a club record of 332 goals in all competitions between 1892 and 1914.

    Brian Clough: A legendary manager, Clough led Derby County to the First Division title in 1972, ending a six-year spell of dominance by Leeds United.

    Roy McFarland: A central defender, McFarland played for Derby County between 1968 and 1980 and captained the team during the 1970s.

    Archie Gemmill: A midfielder, Gemmill played for Derby County between 1976 and 1981 and was a key player in the team that won the First Division title in 1972.

    Peter Shilton: One of England's greatest goalkeepers, Shilton played for Derby County between 1971 and 1974 before going on to play for other clubs including Nottingham Forest, Plymouth Argyle, Southampton, and Aston Villa.

    Malcolm Christie: A striker, Christie played for Derby County between 2000 and 2005 and scored a total of 33 goals in all competitions.

    It's worth noting that this is not an exhaustive list, and many other players have made significant contributions to the club's history."

    Didn't Peter Shilton play for Derby later in his career?

    "Yes, you are correct. Peter Shilton played for Derby County later in his career. He returned to the club in 1984, after 10 years of playing for other clubs, and played for Derby until 1997, making a total of over 300 appearances for the club. I apologize for any confusion in my previous response, and for not including the latter part of his career in Derby County. Shilton is considered as one of the greatest goalkeepers in the history of English football, and his second stint at Derby County was a significant part of his career."

    Fantastic memories, its difficult to explain but we went from Champions in 1975 to relegation in 1980 while the gumps had their 3 seasons of glory.

    You are spot on, this game had the greatest atmosphere of any match I have been too. I did go to a game in the 1975 championship season but can't remember being champions, I started going regularly in 1977 when I was 9.  I wasn't really aware of the full context having missed high point of our sucess, but bloody hell I could feel it in the atmosphere. The press were in on the act dubbing the game as Cloughie V Taylor. When the teams ran out to warm up we had been singing for so long it felt like they were running out for the second half, and it was non stop chanting all game.

    They look to be in  a load of trouble, cheating stnuc.

    "Turin Public Prosecutors opened the Prisma investigation in May 2021 - 14,000 pages of wire-tapping, bugging, electronic documents and paperwork, according to allegations, contain the proof of several cases of false accounting in the 2018-19 to 2020-2021 balance sheets, fixed by artificial gains from club transfers or loans and fictitious savings from players' salary cuts."

    I'm so glad I got to see the Specials in Leeds Millenium Square,  it was the final day of the football season Newcastle had been relegated much the delight and of the Leeds fans Terry says “I’m going to do a new song I’ve written this afternoon it’s called let’s all laugh at Shearer” the crowd loved that but he followed it up saying ”and then there’s another song I’ve written Thank you very much for Cantona”, some of the Leeds fans took the hump and started coining him, the stopped when he threatened to walk off stage.

    RIP
