I gave you applause for this because I love it, not because I think it would be a good anthem! 
Although the sentiment of the title is good for our long-suffering fans, any song with "meet the new boss, same as the old boss" in the lyrics is asking for trouble, imo! 

Just not a massive fan of the Heartbeat song - too short for me.
Agree with you on upbeat songs being good ones to go for though. Delilah, Day Dream Believer, dare I say it Marching On Together, they're all great terrace songs.
But then I'd say the ones with a touch of emotion, like You'll Never Walk Alone (sorry @MuespachRam), are probably the best of the best.

Yeah, you got a point but a tune is a tune… There’s something about certain ones .. Go West fits with so many things and it can be repeated over and over, Lloyd George knew my Father, que sera sera etc etc .. it’s those that get grounds really rocking because even the quiet ones can join in. … Sunderland had Day Dream Believer for a time .. with “Cheer up Peter Reid” 
Up Beat .. Beach Boys kind of optimism / good times vibe. .. Sounds old fashioned but the melodies are still here 50 years on for a reason 

633 squadron is another … ahhhh Thunderbirds !!!! ???

I guess Johnny Russell’s Heartbeat came from another club ? … buts it’s adaptable for Derby as a team.. Always loved it and we know it 
Got to have a joyful / triumphant  melody that gets everyone on board across generations .. not angry rap or niche stuff beloved of music buffs. 
 
 

Dambusters.

Sexist Pig. Ban him @angieram   

It’s going to be fascinating how this pans out.
I am certain there are voices in the EFL who know full well that this situation has reflected badly on them as an organisation.and their pursuit of us can’t be seen as entirely equitable 
These are countered by another set who pursue agendas for reasons of their own .. honest application of the rules or from partisan spite .. as they did with Luton .. who got done something like 50 points over 3 seasons. (Not including the 10 for going in to admin) 
 
Personally I don’t think Derby County have done anything that other clubs haven’t done and are still doing. That isn’t the point.   They have simply been microscoped either for breaking the 11th commandment “Thou shall not get caught” or by stimulating EFL oversight by making enemies in the wrong places at the wrong time. The TV deal or Gibson or whoever else they challenged or peed off.
The big question for me is which set of voices gets the say when it comes down to the judgment / analysis ?

The key to your post is following “constructive discussions”. The club openly said they want to work with the EFL, they could have just submitted the accounts, EFL see something they don’t like then resort to disciplinary and legal action, there was potential for extra profit to be allowed for stadium sale amongst other issues, the EFL have probably seen a few submissions that have then been amended to hopefully ensure agreement. The statement you make saying it was the clubs decision to submit late is your opinion based on no facts.
What the club are therefore hoping for here is a quick turnaround due to having upfront dialogue, if the EFL now piss around and we miss the transfer window then (as long as our submission ends up removing the embargo and there is no other reason) then any feelings of wrath towards the EFL are justified. But I agree it’s not time to blame the EFL……….yet!
 

The lad's going to be a top player. It's always astounded me that some folk can't, or wont see it. We've actually got an entire group of really exciting young players at the club right now and it's a delight to watch them maturing into senior football, despite all the distractions and chaos around them.
I'm particularly proud to see the fight and passion they seem to exhibit. Huge shout out also to all of our academy coaches who are doing a wonderful job and have been for a fair old while now. Lots of work still to be done, but some green shoots definitely in evidence.
Here's to a brighter future.

I remain convinced that there are a sizeable amount of clubs with very similar HMRC issues 

My take on that is that the accounts were submitted last week on the original deadline
then “after constructive discussions” we were asked to clarify something or provide documentation to support what we have submitted… which we have now done 

A decent striker and we aren’t miles off a comfortable mid table finish imo. 

Great performance from a side with several youngsters. I expect Sibbo to take this level into the Forest game, he can have a massive impact this season and end up with a big transfer valuation on his head.
 
 
 
 
 

Just what he and we needed. Brilliant … now I want Joz to get one so both of them are full to the brim on Saturday

Just in time to fire him up even more for Saturday ? 

Took the goal well. Joz to Hutchison out on the right wing. Hutch sideways along the deck to Sibbo, 14 yards out, back to goal. Turns and shoots hard and low in one movement. Great time to score and the goal will do him the world of good.

Is Jokanovic one of them experienced manager’s just asking for a friend ?

Don’t care if we lose. Derby playing hungrily. Nice football. Bite. Hunger. Skill. Courage. Haven’t seen this for a while. Great to watch. And this is the reserves.
