Best of luck. It's a horrible position to be in for any supporter. What we went through literally nearly broke some on here, whilst many so called supporters of "certain" other clubs mocked, gloated and sang for our demise. We can therefore very much empathise with how you feel. Really, really hope you come through it.

Seeing on social media that there are a few of you buying tickets to come and show your support for my local side, Scunthorpe United-who are getting ran into the ground by an incompetent owner- on Saturday. We are drinking in the last chance saloon with a winding up order and no money left in the pot to pay any wages.
Thank you chaps, it’s much appreciated by our supporters. 
 
Up the Rams.

Well that was a bit of alright wasn't it. Been out all day for the eldest's birthday.  Home soon and shall be cracking something open to celebrate.  Onwards and upwards you Rams. 

This League 1 is quite fun isn’t it.
 

Very well done today guys thoroughly deserved the win and really it was men against boys. Your physicality, nouse and experience completely undid us. To be fair we’ve been like this all season, pretty football but no cutting edge and we need a couple of old heads to lead the kids. Unfortunately Evatt is so far down his moneyball route trying to find young players to sell on he completely ignores the fact that you need some grey hairs in the team who’ve been there and done it, unlike your man who knows exactly how to do it and is doing a cracking job. There may have been a few questioning his appointment but I think he’s more than answering them now. I think you’ve every chance of making the top two now if you keep up performances like todays so best of luck for the rest of the season. ??

I do wonder if PW had been our manager last season we might have stayed in the Championship. PW does have the ability to wring out the very last drop of performance from his players, he has made us into such a resilient side ???

I hope you'll make some soldiers to dip in it.

They'll need it. They'll be chasing shadows for 90 minutes.

Excellent ball by Barks. To put that in first time like that, quality. He’s really stepped it up recently, very important player for us.

"I'm delighted to be here, just look at my face, I swapped the Champions League next season for a chance to play Olympiacos in pre season. 
 

I think from what we learned of MM's ways, if SP had stood up to him, or overly challenged him, he'd have been sacked.  It may well be that SP came up with the idea of changing our accountancy policy - it was, after all, legal, but just didn't fit with the EFL's view of things, and all other clubs to be fair.  We may well never know.  Q certainly rated him and publicly defended him.  If he was that bad, and they were cutting costs left right and centre, he'd have been gone surely? David Clowes is nobody's fool.  If there were any doubts he would have asked SP to leave I'm sure.  The fact he remains says to me he must be valued and has a place/say in the running of the club.  

Yeah I know, and I'm sure he did where necessary.  The fact he is a professional accountant is why I was alluding to the fact it may even have been his idea.  But with everything else that went on, with MM being the apparent dictator he seemed, then I suspect it was like hitting a brick wall.  He may have been complicit to a degree, (we'll likely never know unless he writes his memoirs) but the fact Q valued him, and more importantly DC now seems to trust him says a lot.  Anyway, it's kinda old ground now and I'm doing my best to move on and focus on our amazing resurgence.

Then there's a few weeks to get match sharp and fit again, by then it's into April with a few games left of the season. Time to cut our losses. I'm sure we can offer him physio and a place to recover from his injury but be off the books. This allows a fully fit Flint to come in to play.

that's the thing isn't it.  You have PL teams, even the "average" ones, spending 10's of millions on a similarly average player, a %age of which could save a club. Isn't Scunny going for something like £3-4million? Admit I know little of their issues, which won't be unique by a long shot, but again, it highlights that there remains a massive issue with Football, and whilst the PL continues as it is (and of course the big leagues abroad) buying players for £100 million, and paying exorbitant wages, nothing will change.
