Another 140 page thread of this dodgy Bamford coming up

We have a few posters who have agreed to gift a ticket or 2 to someone who cannot afford to go. You can PM me if you you want to go but genuinely can't afford to buy a ticket or two. Due to Covid you will need a fan id and an email address. We can get the ticket emailed to you.
Your PM will be dealt with in strictest confidence. We have all had times when we haven't been able to afford to go, we are all Derby and will help each other.
    

They weren't even in the league when we did anything wrong and they shouldn't even have got promoted the way they did. Piss off Wycombe.
 

Wycombe Wanderers owner Rob Couhig is considering taking legal action against the club's relegation to League One after Derby announced they are due to go into administration.
It comes after Derby owner Mel Morris' admission the club would have been at risk of a points deduction if it had submitted accounts for 2017-18 without using the club's controversial amortisation method.

My personal view for what it's worth is he sounded deflated towards the end of the interview. A beaten man.
Despite a lack of raw emotion shown on air, I genuinely think Friday would have hurt him massively as this wouldn't have been anywhere in his plans.
I understand this will not be any comfort to any of the staff that will lose their jobs, or creditors unpaid who my thoughts are with right now as they face an extremely tough week ahead.
Tomorrow I will be opening a jobs board on the forum, if any of you have a business or hear of vacancies in the local area please post them.
Also if you know anyone that has/will be lose their job through this process, give them a heads up.
Saturday showed what an incredible fan base we have when we come together, let's help try and make the impact as minimal as possible. ?

What for? Our alleged rule breaking didn't happen during their time in the championship and administration had duck all to do with them. 
They were poo and got relegated. 

what a load of poo. They got promoted on a points average

baalocks to Wycombe

I find it utterly insulting this part ''We cannot stress enough how devastating it is to be forced into this position. We all – the owner, the members of the board, and our staff – are true Derby County supporters.''. Get in the bin. You took a club in a wonderful position and you ran us into the ground. Bamfords. 

I wouldn't who the hell wants to lose 6-0 to any team!

Written by John Percy, Forest fan. Are you surprised?

Actually let me amend that, Kelle Roos is our best player this season after dropping the F bomb on Radio Derby

I like what I’ve seen so far, but it won’t be as juicy as Sunderland til I Die as it’s been done internally.

Should be at Los Pollos Hermanos, saying ' enjoy your meal '. 

Snappy passes all night, the one to Stretton was George Thorne quality.
Quick tempo, this is what we want, and to top it off he scored the winning peno.
Well done Louis!

Club wants attendees to sign DNAs? 
Refuses to put minutes out? 
Agrees after key member leaves to put out a joint statement he knows nothing about? 
Attendees (agree or don't agree, I don't know) put stuff out anyway on Twitter and Radio Derby.
Supporters are left with half stories, conjecture and being none the wiser, while not knowing whether there is more to come.
David, who's clearly been a bit blind sided and wants to take time to ensure he is making accurate representation, gets stick on Twitter for it which clearly distresses him.
 
I'm afraid to say that imo this is solely on the club and it's handling of the matter. It's really hard to see how Mel or whoever it was organised this could have ducked the whole thing up more than they have. They've managed to turn what could have been a positive meeting with supporters into a total PR disaster. It's very noble of you @David to blame yourself but I'm afraid this is totally on the club and its handling of this. You've actually done the right thing and been unfairly lambasted for it.

Apparently we were lucky to get a point against poor old Covid hit Huddersfield.

I would find that quite irritating if I were Wayne in that scenario. The players no doubt feed off the body language of their coach, perhaps being passive at times helps players relax, rather than screaming all the time a la warnock style. Maybe Rooney is purposely being passive to try and relax his players and if so, Liam behaving the way he does wouldn’t help and certainly sends mixed messages from the bench. 

I was in the easy,stand right by the away fans and was really disappointed with the support everyone showed, me and my dad felt like the only one getting up shouting support ( near the away side anyway can't speak for the other side) but the east side definitely weren't a 12th man today , proud of the team performance none the less 

FFS you don't want much on £4.5k/week do you? ? #COYR We can all dream...

Let me try this again, I was forwarded your post and just online replying to say thanks, and I appreciate the concern. Posted and the topic was merged and my post lost as I submitted it. Cheers mods.
I have an apology and what exactly has happened post which will follow the report from the meeting, I don't not can't want to go into detail now. 
What I would say is, this is not the clubs fault, anyone using it as a stick to beat the club with are doing so without the full facts, which is unfair and not helping myself personally as I try to fix the situation and get the information out to you.
I, David, has handled the situation poorly, been naive and been busy working my hardest to get back to you all with what you want.I would like to think that over the years we have built up some mutual respect, if you don't want to believe me that's fine, but please just stop until you have read what I put out.
You must also all understand that the club staff are ridiculously busy right now working long hours on other important issues, whilst I feel somewhat in limbo, I'm more happy that we have an extra 2 defenders in the squad than missing out as they need to read through my emails.
As for tomorrow, I am excited more than you will ever know, football is back, Derby are back, fans in the stadium, perfect.
I'm just gutted I can't be there, but I'm doing the next best thing, taking a flight out of here so I can watch on RamsTV with a. few beers that are chilling in the fridge.
Those that are going, regardless of your thoughts on the ownership, club, put all that to one side and get behind the team, we have a young team that doesn't deserve to play under a negative atmosphere. 
Drop any protests, Mel chants, anti EFL or anti and sarcastic Rooney chants, focus on positive support for the team, this is when they need us the most, the atmosphere is all on us nobody else, if we crush those lads with booing and all that baalocks, we will have to shoulder some of the responsibility.
I'm sorry for the lack of communication, I just didn't have anything to add and felt it would be best to stay offline. But please, regardless of what you think of me, the club, just read the above and take it from a fan that loves this club and wouldn't be saying any of this if I didn't mean it.

I think we all know why he's been sleeping on the couch ?

The s*n

The club is in crisis. On the eve of a new season without a squad.
Steve Nicholson regurgitates Alan Nixon's stories and the Punjabi Rams tweets. With nothing added, no investigative journalism at all.
Ed Dawes from Radio Derby is asking for mock ups of Messi in a Derby shirt.
That's our local press. The ones we should rely on to get answers.
We're a joke.
