A number of individuals who were trusted to the club nearly killed us. We were treated unfairly by them. As mich as we can blame the EFL, we knew the rules of coming out of administration and we are still under those restrictions. Personally, I think that is fair and I would much rather be here not being able to spend fees, than having no club to watch

Yes we were treated unfairly by the EFL. Changed the rules retrospectively then punished us with -9 points, other clubs allowed to circumvent FFP with no come back (our neighbours down the road being one), changed the rules to help clubs out during COVID, we should have had our points reduced, we didn’t. Throw in administration-12 points and then a 2 year business plan which has no purpose other than to restrict our ability to compete, it’s nothing to do with whether we can run sustainably. I agree with a points deduction for administration but the 2 year business plan as well is ridiculously harsh. Yes we have been treated unfairly.
The reason we have been treated unfairly by the EFL is Mel Morris, he pissed them off, he pissed off Steve Gibson and the EFL allowed him to wage war against Mel and Derby. We also now know the reason Derby didn’t file their accounts for years was not really due to the EFL action, it was Mel concealing the real situation from the outside world and fans that he was no longer paying the bills.
 
Yes we were treated harshly and continue to be, All roads for our plight lead to Morris, if he’d never darkened our door we’d still be a championship club, possibly better. Thankfully we are now on the rise again with a sensible relatable owner and a relatable passionate and capable management team. I really hope Clowes and Warne can take us all the way to the prem and keep us there with team spirit and work ethic alongside a sensible transfer policy and not the ridiculous approach Forest have taken (it will come back to bite them if not this year then at some point in the next 2 or 3 - look at Everton)

We have through Wigan went into adminastion and as soon as they came out they were allowed to spend what ever they liked.

good post

Very impressed last night. He ran miles and miles, gave everything. You could see he’d drained every reserve as the game ended. By no means flashy but skilled and works so hard for the team. Seems comfortable in every area of the pitch. Good player ! 

I can’t do anything. 
The horse has bolted .
Doesn’t mean Derby County and MM we’re fairly treated does it. 

I will never get over what the EFL did to my beloved club.
Surprises me why other readily accept it

Welcome to DCFC fans Hilary..

Correct, it isn`t a guitar lesson, its a group who claim to have the best interests of DCFC at heart, which in itself is fine, and something that I`m sure 99%-100% of DCFC supporters want. However, it seems, that unless you agree completely with their mantra, and have a certain political viewpoint, you wont be welcome.
This surely is bordering on authoritarian and discriminatory?
Up to them obviously if they want to make it like that, but equally they cant complain when sections of supporters criticise?
 

It not the discussions it’s the voting that’s the closed shop. Probably a bit similar to the way Putin get voted in to power.

I agree, don't care what they do as they represent such a tiny minority of fans. 
It annoys me they get behind this fan-led review which had 77000 replies, not all positive. Not 77000 from Derby, but the whole of the country. As a % of interested football fans that attend or view, that is very very small number. 
As a business you would not base your sales strategy around such a small cross section, many of whom will be members of a trust/FSA and in favour regardless. 
Hopefully it never comes in

It certainly seems to be doesn`t it?
I dare say that you would get the standard soundbyte reply of "All are welcome to apply to the board" but in reality as the history of RT suggests, unless your face fits and you vote a certain way, you don`t stand a chance.
Its a closed shop, or at least that`s how it seems. I`m sure that they preach diversity and agree with it, so why appoint people to the board with different politcal perspectives? After all, this should be about DCFC not politics?

I hope so. The players deserve a sell out, but I just think that some fans don`t see the FA Cup as being important anymore, which is such a shame.

I`ve done the same. I`ve booked a lodge near Camelford and a few rounds of Golf (Sun-Weds)
Deffo not missing this game.

So "anyone can join as long as they agree with the aims and objectives!!"
Basically no free thinkers or new ideas allowed. Its our way or the highway? Sounds fantastic!
