There have been two key moments under Mel Morris' ownership that have defined us - and neither were his fault, just terrible luck
1) The pre season knee injury to George Thorne in 2014/15 - we'd have walked the league with him playing but we had to loan in Omar Mascarell as cover
2) The 1st game of the season in 2015/16 at Bolton when both Will Hughes and Craig Bryson did their knees and were out for most of the season causing Mel to 'panic buy' Bradley Johnson & Jacob Butterfield and triggering our spiral of FFP overspend
 
Both of those seasons we still managed to hit top of the league but lacked the quality of Thorne, Hughes & Bryson to see it over the line
We've been fire fighting ever since

I don’t hate him, he gave me some great memories. But I am disappointed in him. That’s about as strong as I would say my feelings are 

They will put another type of embargo on us - super special secret embargo. 

Interesting stat for you all - we've been ahead at some point in the 2nd half in the last 6 competitive games - and won none of them
So we are capable of getting ahead but can't maintain it
Is that down to Rooney or the players switching off ?

Rooney could always put his boots on as he is still a registered player isn't he ?

Found the RD interview pretty interesting, more because of what was not said than what was said.
My take on it, my thoughts after I've looked at what is in the public domain.
I posted a while back about what I'd heard re: an American consortium taking over, I have heard nothing to suggest that this is no longer the case.
I've experience of dealing with due diligence for American companies, and boy do they love an NDA personally I've signed around a dozen, and what Mel couldn't talk of last night leads me (hopes) to believe that the silence through official channels is as a result of an NDA between Mel/DCFC and the consortium. The NDA between the club and bidders will also be separate and differ to the one between Mel and the fans groups last night.
I understand that a  lot of us are upset/frustrated/disappointed/angry and it's only human nature to want to point the finger and find someone to blame, but I'm hoping that it's more a question of cannot rather than will not when it comes to the lack of direct engagement with the fanbase.
I'd also suggest that the consortium are waiting for the accounts and actual level of debt to be finalised before moving forward, as I understand the accounts have to be submitted at latest in 13 days, so I reckon that it's more end of month/transfer window rather than start of season before we see proper movement.
I know we all want answers ASAP, but it might just be a question of wait out on this and when there is news then there is news.
I'd also ask that we remember what we have in common, that we are all Derby and want the best for the club, my view is that sniping at each other, different groups, posters and dismissing with terms such as wrist slashers or happy clappers does nothing good bar possibly making you feel better for a few second., Whilst people may have a different view debate is good, sarcasm, anger abuse in my view is not. I feel the club, with the dire straights we are in, need the fanbase to step up show why we are amongst the best in the country and support the club, manager and players during what is going to be a testing season.
Jesus, I've rambled a lot for a post that is just my opinion and not fact. Sorry.

Cardiff have Peterborough after us and they aren't selling tickets yet either, so it may be Peterborough's end where the issue is. 

I have tried emailing club about this but as yet not heard a thing.

Over here in Ireland I have met at least 100/120 different rams fans on flights over to games 

I went to see a game there a couple of years ago. The ground isn't in the centre of Salford, it's to the north of the centre.
If you're driving, Prestwich, to the north, was safe to park & has a few decent pubs but is about a mile+ walk from the ground 

Bannan was dreadful when on loan, but I’d have him here in a flash given the opportunity.
 
beggers can’t be choosers and all that 

Whenever I see a video of a seriously injured player doing some tough exercises, like Bielik in the clubs video, I go all daft and think they're only a couple of weeks away from the first team squad.
If only that were true

Don't forget, getting 5 players in will still leave us on a par with last season - at best - & look how bad that was
Still, it's a must needed start though
If I was Rooney & I could bring in 5 players, i'd be looking further than just the current trialists  - there's an awful lot of players out of contract around the country
