Ramslad1992

Newcastle just taken over by the Saudis, we get someone who said stupid things when he was 23......so did I, I'm sure, when with mates, a few beers, trying to be funny or to shock, I can look back and cringe....anyone on here who can't?

For the first time in over 2 years I came home today. Due to work/covid/children I haven’t managed to go since 15/02/2020. 
 
over the last 6 months I’ve really questioned why I bother supporting this club I won’t lie.
today is the reason I support this club, a day out with my dad, beers flowing, singing in the south stand, accidentally elbowing a chap in the head when we scored (sorry mate). 
months of crap suddenly erased in a day. 
 
COYR and enjoy your night guys and girls… the fat lady hasn’t sang yet, we are still in this! ??

Let's again try to summarise our position only this time using visual metaphors . The first one depicts where we are right now.
Imagine all the 'good guys' are pulling on the lead and that the dog represents all of the current potential buyers...
 

 
For clarity, here's the same metaphor would look like if the buyers could actually
see some value in the deal and were keen to buy at the prices being quoted...
 

 
And to fix this problem, here's the erstwhile admins trying to persuade Morris (the dog in this case)
to drop the stadium cost and make all these problems go away forever...
 

 
Meanwhile, here's what we're all doing....
 

 
Hope this helps! x

So...you're a 'maybe'?

If it's Mel Morris then I'm sorry but that is the absolute final straw for me.
That man took over a club in the play off final on the brink of the premier League and had left us with no assets, no young players and on the brink of league one with a very probable 15 point deduction as well as currently having 5 players contracted to us next season.
This is a man that wouldn't answer the phone to Rooney to such an extent that Rooney had to call from the club doctor's phone and then Mel answered straight away.
This club has been rotten to the core since this man took over and the only good thing to come out of this absolute horror show is that he will no longer be anywhere near this football club.
Rooney doesn't like him and clearly has no time for him. The amount of effort, heart, passion, desire that these players, Rooney and the coaching staff have put in this season despite all the circumstances, all the issues. These have all been caused by one man.
If he was to takeover or be part of any consortium taking over that would be a smack in the face to all that these players have done. When he's put us in this position solely to reduce the debt he's caused.
The man is a spineless, gutless piece of work and I want him nowhere near this football club ever again.

BREAKING LIVE FOOTAGE OF QUANTUMA WORKING THROUGH THE BIDS 
 

 

 
 

Over the last 7 years of posting on here, my posts have been subject to severe censure and notices of warnings, etc. Swathes of posts taken down. I was being cancelled before cancelled was such a thing!  So CBR, no I informed Q where they could put their NDA when I submitted my detailed offer.

Yes...he came second
 

With the spiralling cost of fuel and other essential items, particularly the cost of heating your home, it has been been reported that a further million people will be plunged into poverty over the next month, with half of them children. Many families will be faced will the awful choice of eating or heating.
The UK average spend of food and drink is £40 a week. However many survive on a fraction of this. Therefore to shine a light on this, experience a little and raise some money, My lad and I will be living on £1 a day each on food and drink for a week, a total of £14 for the two of us.
We are going to start this on Easter Monday (a kind of belated lent) and hopefully manage the full 7 days. Obviously this won't be easy but I won't pretend this is anything like suffering many people will be going through around the country.
Almost 2 years ago, David and I launched a campaign on here to raise money for the Derby Mission Food Bank when many people were laid off due to Covid. I am looking to do the same again, with anyone who can afford it donating to the same cause. I am hoping we can raise £1000. I will be donating the difference in what I would normally spend on a supermarket shop for the two of us. 
I will set up a specific DCFC Fans donate account and provide a link in the next couple of days.
In the meantime, maybe posters could share experiences and ideas around this area. Many on here will be able to donate but many posters may also need help, so I hope we can come together and help each other.
I will do a diary entry on here on how we manage, how we shop, what we eat and how we feel.
  

And you all laughed at me...

I fear they will be standing by to make the big reveal at 1am on Sunday... and all of a sudden, the clocks rush forward, it's 2am, and we all bloody missed it!  ?
 
 
I'm sorry @86 Hair Islands, but I'm just going to have to laugh at my own joke... what's that like? 
???
 
EDIT:
Ooh... that's quite satisfying, actually!  ?

Please just give us Appleby. 
Ashley and anyone else with hundreds of millions lying around could have bought us in a heartbeat six months ago. Instead, they’ve been dicking about and we’ve lost half our squad in the meantime.
Appleby strikes me as the only who who really, really wants this, and for the right reasons.

I wouldn’t have taken the wife. Keep us in the loop ?

I don’t think it’s strange. Sure MM was wreckless and then Covid spoiled his escape route. He was the instigator of our woes. No doubt about that,
 But the EFL ? Supposedly the even handed governing body has kicked us, kicked us again and spat in our faces at every turn. Where were they in the farce that was Boro and Wycombe ? How come we were forced to field kids in a cup game or couldn’t re sign loaned veterans on short term deals. How come when judgements - made according to their own procedures - by their independent panels did they express “regret” or “reluctantly” accept decisions ? Mel made a mess but the EFL wanted to make an example of us and at the same time has been craven and dishonest in submitting to pressure from the likes of Boro. It’s rank hypocrisy and damned nasty 

99% of the time I feel the exact same as you @24Charlie, then we go and play like we did today. I was nothing but proud.
I have no connection to Derby, never lived there, only ever been there for the football. my grandad from Shrewsbury started supporting us in the mid 60’s, my dad was born a ram in 1969, I was born a ram in 1992 and my son was born a ram 2021.
I hate football to the core, the money us mere mortals can’t even comprehend and the billions on offer for Chelsea is quite frankly disgusting! But Derby County is different… it’s a bond between 3 (soon to be 4) generations. 

I’m  very much done with football outside Derby County, I hate it and it disgusts me to my bones… but I’ll never be done with Derby County (or any phoenix variety) 
This club has given me years of joy with my dad and Grandad and I hope it’s still here when my boy grows up… and his boy…
i couldn’t give a toss about football apart from the rams on a Saturday (and super 6 but money is on the line)
COYR AND DUCK THE EFL!
