EtoileSportiveDeDerby reacted to Kathcairns in The Administration Thread
That would be brill. The kids are the next generation of fans, get them interested when young. Started taking my son when he was 4, he takes his 4 year old son now.

Complete the sale.
The club must survive.

Can you lend us your recruitment team for a couple of seasons?
Up the bees - how a football club should be run.

EtoileSportiveDeDerby reacted to JoetheRam in Finance thread 2022.
Tax relief
Make sure you're claiming any tax relief on job expenses.
Working from home allowance, cleaning of uniforms, professional memberships, purchases of tools, travel and overnight expenses.
All can be claimed via the Government Gateway website and all are pretty simple.
Most if not all of those can be backdated for several years too. My Mrs hadn't claimed the uniform cleaning relief for five years and got £60 back. Not bad for five minutes work.
Claiming the WFH allowance for anyone who did so during the last 2 years is worth about £125 to most people (but is changing for this tax year so most hybrid workers will become ineligible).
Internet/TV/Phone
Renegotiate your Internet/TV/phone tariff if you're out of contract. Most places have increased their prices by CPI + a certain percentage (so about 10%). I knocked about £200 off BT simply by getting them to better Sky's offer to new customers. You don't need to play hardball, just say you've seen a better offer for similar services elsewhere, can it be bettered or matched. Most of the time they will do something for you. Don't let them flog you something extra that you don't really want (BT Sport, Halo etc) for a short period of time because you'll just need to ring up again in 6 months to cancel it once the price balloons.
Water Bills - surface run off.
Especially if you live in a new build - walk round your property and check whether your drains run into a main sewer or if it drains elsewhere - soakaways, a nearby field, grass, one of those open reservoir things... even if you're not sure get in touch with your water company (Severn Trent for most Derbys/Staffs folk I'd guess) and ask them.
https://www.stwater.co.uk/my-supply/waste-water/surface-water-drainage/
Takes about 5 mins to claim, 6 weeks for a man to come and have a look and say yes or no, a week for a cheque to come and then the charge disappears from your bill forever. I got about £100 back and that only covered 12 months. You can backdate until 2014 with STW so could be touching 4 figures for large houses that folk have lived in for a while.

EtoileSportiveDeDerby reacted to angieram in Phil Bardsley
It wasn't a policy, we were under transfer embargo.
Firstly, we won't have money to bring in players on transfer fees.
Secondly, I think Rooney has done pretty well with the players he has been able to bring in, limited as he was.

Hardly surprising the under 23’s have struggled when the first team has taken so many of their top players to keep us going this year.

Wayne told us when he became manager he'd bring back the pride. Well he's done that.
Proud Derby fan here.

EtoileSportiveDeDerby reacted to IslandExile in Rooney, staff and squad: legends
We're on the cusp of relegation but the manager, coaching staff and every single player come out of this season with enormous credit.
I am proud to be a Derby County supporter.
It has been a privilege to witness the effort of all those at the club this season.
The staff and the supporters do not deserve what we've been through - and football has to restructure itself so this does not keep happening.
But what we've seen on the pitch - against all the odds has been staggering.
Rooney, Ram ?
Rosenior, Ram ?
The whole squad, Rams ?
Those behind the scenes, Rams ?
Thank you to all of you. COYR ?

EtoileSportiveDeDerby reacted to Millenniumram in Rooney, staff and squad: legends
Hear hear. The result is the inevitable one when you have all those points deducted and a paper thin squad - relegation. But that isn’t the fault of the current players or manager. This relegation is purely on the head of a certain Mel Morris. Everyone at the club has done us proud on the pitch this season. To keep fighting as long as they have done is remarkable. I’ve certainly not felt a Derby team has cared this much in a long time.

EtoileSportiveDeDerby reacted to i-Ram in POLL: How have you traditionally shown your support for Derby County?
I have stopped attending as a protest against the lack of transgender toilet facilities at football stadiums. It’s a disgrace.

EtoileSportiveDeDerby reacted to DarkFruitsRam7 in POLL: How have you traditionally shown your support for Derby County?
While I respect your experience, I think this season has been anything but "draining", "miserable", or "pointless" on the pitch. The pride I've felt when the lads have given absolutely everything has been huge.
Even if we do go down, this team will be one that will stick in the memory for a long time. For me, that's the opposite of pointless.

EtoileSportiveDeDerby reacted to Rev in The Administration Thread
Maybe to save money next season, we could ask Wayne to go part time, and just do the home games?

EtoileSportiveDeDerby reacted to Elwood P Dowd in The Administration Thread
Perhaps the best thing for CK to do is avoid reading Twitter etc untill the deals gone through, there's no point in making himself a target for the trolls and the social media loonies. If the deal goes through then that single event on its own will prove the trolls and the social media loonies wrong, after all the proof of the pudding, has always been, in the eating.
If he needs any pointers on not communicating he simply needs to ask Q ?

EtoileSportiveDeDerby reacted to Eddie in Kirchner- A risk or a potential reward
It might be a risk, but it's an absolute no-brainer.
No takeover, no club.
