Well for me if he learned his lesson in the past and not asking outrages wages does not mean he does desevse a 2nd chance.

And a 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th…

Can’t imagine we would bother having all these players at a training camp if something wasn’t close.

Anywhere between imminent and 48 hours would be my best guess.

Been on the beer since 11 this morning. Savour the moment and enjoy it everyone, this is one of the biggest moments of my whole entire life and I’m married with 3 kids. Nights like tonight don’t happen every night. Enjoy it with friends or family, worry about work/school tomorrow. Ive been watching football for 24 years and this is the biggest game of my life so far… COME ON ENGLAND!!

I'm new to all this so haven't had the time to scroll through all the previous pages but I bet I'd agree with most of them. Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but are motorists getting lazier about acknowledging courtesy? It may be a legal requirement to let joining traffic gradually filter in, but when you indicate to the vehicle in the slip lane that you are giving way to them and they are safe to pull out, surely a raised hand is a polite and friendly gesture?

Also, younger people starting sentences with the word 'So' when they reply to a question. Where on earth did that come from?

 

So… people who can’t be arsed reading through 280 pages before posting… just lazy! 

Turned on the Parker fight 3 minutes too late… missed it all ?‍♂️

I would but home and away one but if one was pink I would not buy it I hate the colour.

First I’ve heard of it! 

Personally I’m disappointed I could only give the EFL a ‘very poor’ rating, makes them look good!

I refuse to give any money to the club whilst Mel Morris owns it,il make do with my old retro ones instead 

Each to their own ? I’m not here to preach. But an extra £7 is nothing to someone who would buy one anyway.

Anyone willing to pay £48 for a shirt probably won’t bat an eyelid at an extra £7. If and it’s a big if the money goes to the club we would all probably be more than happy. 
 

I already rarely buy a shirt as I think they are extortionate so tend to get one as a birthday present. People who buy one every year will still buy them though.

U23 coach 

That’ll do ?

I really hope this is announced at half time during the United game… he plays the first half for Man U and then just comes out in a Derby shirt 2nd half! 

I used to work with a bloke who once a year would miraculously have a relative die as our bereavement policy is 10 days. I’m not saying he abused the system but his nan must have been quite popular because in the space of about 5 years he had 6 grandads die! 

‘Wayne Rooney’s Derby County manager Wayne Rooney confirms it’s coming home’ 

Remember Warnock never used to have a keeper on the bench at Sheff u as Jagielka was good enough to be the back up apparently. 
 

cost efficient and means we only need one goalkeeper on the books. ?

Oh and he’s old as duck... it’s the Derby way! 

We have no hope on this one I reckon...

Or did the efl not appeal because they know that are accounts are f**ked. Part of me think they did this so that we hurry up and reveal the accounts… the comes the penalty points = relegation and another year of bad press… which sadly, seems to be what efl want

There’s been quite a lot of people who know a hell of a lot more than I do saying we more than likely will be ok. Even if we aren’t if these people think we will be fine we will probably be just over meaning minimal points deduction. That’s my take on it anyway ?

I certainly think Mel had quite a lot of validity in a lot of his criticism.

I do think he/DCFC didn't play the politics of the EFL well (or at all) - which is fine - but you have to then be cautious of how those politics might bite you. Having Mel's stance and also being on the edge of what's allowable is a recipe for strife.

 

Doesn’t help when the EFL can’t even decide what is and isn’t allowable though ?‍♂️

But did he? I do accept some folk feel this way but to my mind, this all stems from when Mel wrote to the 72 member clubs suggesting that the EFL were not serving the best interests of the it's members. This, I think, has been pretty much ratified both then and subsequently as we are far from alone in the view that they are selling clubs short, at best, and willing Premier League lapdogs, at worst.

Personally, I think the manner in which the EFL have conducted themselves since has been akin to a toddler throwing a massive tantrum and certainly not befitting of any credible governing body. They treat their own membership with utter disdain and I'm not just talking about Derby here. I'd say that when you look at the constraints under which the EFL force all clubs to try and survive (not prosper!), that a challenge to their stewardship was not only understandable, but inevitable and to be commended, in truth.

Cards on the table, I ducking hate the EFL but in fairness to Mel, I never foresaw the fury and vindictiveness such a challenge would unleash either. These guys are utterly shameless and what other clubs SHOULD be thinking right now, is not, 'oh, Derby cheating again' but rather 'let's get shot of the EFL ASAP as they're a bunch of ducking clowns'! Unfortunately, they'd rather bicker over the scraps off their table and so it goes on ?‍♂️

couldn’t have put it better if I tried. They are an embarrassment or an organisation. I thought it when they went after Bolton, I thought it when they went after Wigan, I thought it when they went after us (unlucky losers) and I’ll think it when they inevitably go after another club who were happy to see us go through it because it’s not them. 

this organisation is power hungry. They’re like that kid in school who got bullied and become a bully as an adult.

Spent a brief while perusing a few of our rivals forums and have come to the conclusion “fork everyone else WE ARE Derby”.

????????????

Couldn’t care less about what other teams fans think of us... I’ll support this club until the day I die. 
 

I actually quite like other teams not liking us, it justifies me not liking them! ?
