Arsene Titman

To be honest, I haven't seen any yet, haven't looked outside this forum though.
Wouldn't be surprised if the usual suspects are on it on Twitter.
Just wanted to clear things up which I know the majority of the forum will take my word for.
Appreciate the words. ?

Manager of Fawlty Towers ?

Out of 30 promotions over the last 10 years, only 3 Clubs have gone up without breaking FFP. So, why do we have a system that clearly doesn’t work. The whole chebang is loaded towards those who reside around the top of the top table. The EFL are just a bunch of jumped-up suits who to quote Simon Jordan “ sit around a table discussing the colour of the linesmans’ flags whilst Clubs go to the wall…”. The result is that football is knackered…mired in pointless international fixtures (San Marino 0, England 10 (ten), VAR which also doesn’t work, and a Top Division which only 3 Clubs from this point on can win. Project forward a few more seasons and it will implode, fractured, splintered and bust.

Apologies if this has already been posted elsewhere but the restrictions being placed on the club just reek of bloody mindedness and vindictiveness. There is a salary cap for next season, a limit of 25 professionals, and  no loan or transfer fees to be paid. The salary for each  new signed will be capped and the amount has to be agreed by the EFL. Talk about sticking the boot in.

Chanting abuse aimed at the EFL on Sunday will achieve the sum total of duck all and just make us look like a bunch of mardy twits. How about we conduct ourselves with a bit of dignity and just get behind the team for the rest of the season instead? We are going down to League One but we will have new owners and a clean slate by then so I'd rather put my energy into giving the team the support they deserve for the rest of the season. 
 

Aye it was, but despite his injuries he's an ambitious player, sure he gave a timescale to be playing in the Premier with or without Derby, don't think league 1 matches that

I think that’s only if we don’t pay 25% to our creditors and agree to a business plan. So as long as we find a buyer who pays then it won’t apply. 

That could be Garry Cook. There is a resemblance and someone on Twitter saying they were together at the game

Mel Morris pointed out some time ago the unfairness of the Parachute Payment system asking how was it fair and equitable for a club to be promoted, stay up for no more than a season, and yet be guaranteed payments of c.£200M that would give them massive leverage over the rest of the Championship after relegation. He also criticised the EFL over the supine way they accepted the PL's TV rights carve-up.
He made his own mistakes, big ones, in the way he sought to level the playing field, but I'm sure his biggest mistake was to first make an enemy of the EFL, and then, for a time,  make them look incompetent. People with big egos don't like to be made to look foolish.

Just seen that he’s posted on Twitter that “nottingham forest sucks” from a question a Forest fan has goaded him into not answering.
Im sorry but this bloke has Alonso vibes all over him.
I don’t want any potential owner putting that type of content out on social media. It’s simply not professional at all.
What makes this worse, he isn’t even the owner yet. Appleby is being very professional as far as I can tell. This guy seems to be liking the attention a little too much already.

Feel for him not getting the credit here, no fault of his own but the Reach business model is killing him out there.
I don't follow him on social media, nothing personal, nor do I even have Derbyshire Live even bookmarked anymore.
It's now quantity over quality repeated throughout the day and let's be honest, the layout of these websites are truly awful now.
We have ads here, we need them to survive and have no problem with them, but when an article is broken up that many times it becomes unreadable.
This isn't just Derbyshire Live, it's all of the Reach network, barely even check our own local site up here now for news as it's full of advertorials and national celebrity tosh scraped from the papers in their network.
Steve Nicholson would have been great at The Athletic, not even great but perfect, I'm sure they still have targets to hit with subscriptions, but could focus more on quality, not turning tweets and he she said this into articles. 
Kinda sad to see journalists have to play the game now.

Feel sorry for him tbh 
i know the det has gone a bit clickbaity and it annoys the hell out of me 
but hes Derby, he gives a crap and for me his match ananlysis is pretty spot on
Same goes for ed dawes too 

Morrison is on a 12 month contract so , January transfer window permitting, we have him for the full season

Sorry but you’re forgetting the absolutely threadbare squad made up of ancient players who will tire and pick up knocks, and academy grads who have barely played first team football - we still need to protect and ease these in gently 

Thanks to Ollycutts - a very speedy and accurate summary of the press conference. The bit he missed because of the noise level was that there is a “distinct possibility” of a further points deduction. To me, that was the only downside from a very positive press conference.

This!
It's natural to fear the worst when bad things happen - and I admit the worst may yet play put - but we are all jumping the gun a bit. We're clutching at every bit of media outpouring and building future scenarios that range from a pre-pack is in place and we'll be out of this in four weeks all the way to we are doomed, phoenix club in tier nine and ground sharing with Mickleover Sports.
Give it 10 days or so; let the Administrators assess the debts, incomes and buyer interest and then let's see how the land lies.

Lol. Can we stop this talk of phoenix clubs, you only have to look at Ipswich and Sunderland to see how easy it is to climb back up the ladder ?  Lets fight to keep the club we already have! #COYR

It’s called the Leicester way?

It's rumoured pride Park would cost 81 mullion to buy.
If I were the new owner I'd seek to ground share for a while, probably look at Notts county ground share as that's an 18000 seater stadium.
I would not look to buy back pride Park.
I would consider building a new ground some where around Derby.
Chesterfields 10000 seater Proact Stadium cost around 13 million, I thought it a decent stadium for a new ground.
So a 30000 seater stadium could cost 40 to 45 million.
Half the amount required to buy back pride Park.
 

MM said that it is the ambitious clubs with bigger revenues who are worst hit by COVID, not the ones with parachute payments or clubs promoted from league 1. He also said , I think, that of the last 9 clubs promoted to the Premier League, only 2 would have complied with Championship FFP limits.

Then they should stop the self-righteous indignation when it all goes tits-up!
