How are you coping @B4ev6is??
You are what this forum is all about, positive, supportive, part of the forum family.
Hopefully it will be more good news than bad from now on.
The players need @B4ev6is cheering them on tomorrow.
We're all feeling pain over this, just keep talking/posting as you are not alone. We're in this together.

Exactly. Last half of last season was painful to watch, put simply we were abysmal. Some of the worst performances I have ever seen. However, as you say , against all of the odds he has galvanised the squad, we look like a team, we have momentum and if somehow we can keep most of the squad together, who knows. He has done remarkably well ???

Hoping the latest news can be the start of better things to come, tried to express what the club means to me:
 
I used to walk to the Pop Side with my Dad 
Now I walk with memories of what we had 
Past the vans and the smell of burgers 
The tribe gathers, the flock converges  
So please don't take my Derby away
 
In the stairwell I give a pause 
Above, the South Stand rises and roars 
Chants and songs that we all own 
As one, together, no one alone 
You are my Derby, My only Derby 
 
The referee was a joke 
Their goal a lucky toe-poke 
Fight on! all Rams say the same  
There is always the next game 
You make me happy, when skies are grey 
 
Suddenly a club in its death-throws 
Is there a future, no-one knows 
Soul of a city with all its history 
Are their hearts so bleak and wintry 
You’ll never notice, how much I love you 
 
A tiny baby inside a pram 
On his chest, proudly a ram 
I dream that one day my son will say 
I used to walk with my Dad down Pride Park Way  
So please don’t take my Derby away

It's hard to quantify how much Gibson has a valid grievance, how much is his personal hatred for Mel Morris, how much is just a need to help MFC's books and how much he wants to see DCFC in ruins.
But, the fact is, his actions are currently preventing a rescue of our club, he has entirely the power to withdraw, he is under no compulsion to continue and was under no obligation to take the actions that he has taken.
If he, or Middlesbrough fans cannot in that context understand the rage towards him then they are failing as decent human beings.
 

Great questions ?You could also say what is the precedent for his actions?

Just thinking out loud here but with all interested parties seemingly now throwing statements and questions around like confetti, should one of our official supporter groups try to engage with Gibson and put some questions to him?
Im thinking of something along the lines of:-
1 - Please confirm how much your claim against DCFC is for, how it is calculated and on what basis it is made
2 - Please confirm why your claim is against DCFC and not the EFL. You will be aware that an IDC found that Derby had not 'systematically cheated' as you claim and had fully acted within the rules.
3 - How many clubs are you aware in recent years that have breached P&S rules and been promoted? Why have you not made claims against any of these clubs?
4 - Is it true that in the year ended 30 June 2016, your club surrendered its tax losses to another of your companies and used the tax saving as profit for P&S purposes? If so, do you believe that this was in the spirit of P&S rules?
 5- If your claim is successful, how do you see it affecting the future of the football league, when league positions are decided in a courtroom rather than on the football field.
6 - In light of your recent statement, it appears that you seem very aware of the intracacies of what is happening behind the scenes at DCFC. Given that, by your own admission, you have not been in contact with the administrators can you please confirm how you are obtaining your information.

Not the number of months we've been under embargo over the past 4 years (which is almost 30 months), but the number of months since our U18s won the 18/19 League title, after beating an Arsenal side featuring Bakary Saka 5-2 in the Final. The young Rams also finished 8 points ahead of a Manchester United side which contained Mason Greenwood.
 
From that squad, 11 have played for our first team making a combined 419 appearances.
Those still with us and are in and around the first team:
McDonald - 8 first team apps.
JBrown - 4 first team apps.
Cashin - 3 first team apps.
Buchanan - Still only 20 but has already played 60 times.
Bird - With him making 97 appearances for the Rams, he'll be hoping to make his 100th app for the club in Feb
Thompson - Missed just 12 minutes of football since coming into the side against Bournemouth, the first of his 11 appearances.
Knight - An almost ever present in the first team since the start of the following season. He has already made 100 apps and scored 11 in the process.
Sibley - Still only 20 but has 7 goals and 4 assists in his 65 first team apps.
Festy - Already a fan favourite after 23 appearances.
Stretton - Limited to just 15 appearances given his injury troubles.
Some are still with us but are yet to play for the first team:
Dixon - Named on bench twice.
Wilson - Named on bench twice.
Matthews - yet to feature in a matchday squad.
Notable players who have since departed the club:
Whittaker - 32 appearances for Derby before moving on to Swansea where he scored 5 in 22 apps. He's currently on loan at Lincoln City where he has scored 1 in 3.
Delap - Left the club in summer 2019 for Man City, he has played for their first team on 3 occasions scoring once.
And the handful of others who have left:
Charles - Joined Mansfield and played twice, who loaned him out to York City where he made 4 apps
Archie Brown - Move to Switzerland in the summer just gone to play for Lausanne-Sport. Has made 2 apps, and a further 2 out on loan.

Liking Bridgen, liking the Daily Mail, cats lying down with dogs - it's the apocalypse!!!

I know I am biased but this article is fantastic and explains the problem exactly.
It is accurate, funny, and places our situation in the wider footballing context to make other clubs fans sit up and listen.
It's the article to share when we are under fire from outsiders who don't understand the situation.
I don't trust the Daily Mail but this is a stroke of genius.

Me too, hits the nail on the head. Shared it on Facebook and with friends.......agree about the Fail too but fair play....

I am worn out with it. It’s effecting my work as I am constantly checking for news. Think I will take a day off checking tomorrow and then check back in before the Florist game ??

I suppose he has seen his mate Gerrard get the Villa job after a few years at National league level...........

I've seen a few comment about the payment to HMRC being the real reason we can't announce a PB, now this is only speculation but dare I say all bidders are perfectly happy to buy with club with paying the HMRC bill but you can't really say for certain if you are up for buying with an undisclosed payment to two other clubs. 

Would be like buying a car, knowing you have to pay the road tax, that isn't a problem but the salesmen has told you it may need a new engine soon, which could cost the same as the car itself. You would probably want that issue to be resolved before you put any cash down.

Hang in there B4. Hopefully common sense will prevail but it will probably be late in the day ?

Chin up mate, it ain't over till the Beautifully Proportioned Artist Formerly Known As The Fat Lady sings. If the Admins succeed in securing funding to take us to the end of the season, there's more time to sort it.

That is total disrespect though sorry. Bury would be as important to all of their fans and its place in their lives as Derby is to us. That is what this is about. We must not forget that esp how their MP spoke so eloquently to help us yesterday
