I’ve seen the glory years under Brian, Dave Mac, Arthur, Jim. All legends
i followed the rams in the bad years, and never would have given up
 Now I’d  just like to see a decent team showing commitment and heart and winning a few games here and there
 disillusioned with the club and sick of the so called coaching team. This is isn’t a team I respect and don’t want to waste any more emotion or time on them

Not a shock as everyone has said but just adds to a long list of failings by the owner when it comes to running a football club. We let these clowns have a say in the way the club has been run for the past several months, no excuse for that.

Not for the first time, I'm with @angieram on this one.
I've supported Derby for over 40 frustrating years, sometimes up, mostly down, and recently I've found myself pondering on what it actually means to support the club.  After all, there is almost no link between the Derby of the late '70s and that of today - not the players, manager, owners; not even the ground.  Perhaps the kit, if you squint in a low light...
I think it was Rowett's preposterous sale of Will Hughes that really crystallised it for me - it's through the development of the club's young players that I most identify with the club.  I really enjoy watching young football players develop; like the vicarious thrill of hearing fans of other teams talk about "that young Derby player" they've seen; even more so when, like Buchanan this season, they show it on a bigger stage.
That's why, after yesterday's disappointment, I found myself looking at other results - Will Hughes at Watford, obviously, but also Jack Stretton at Stockport, Farrend Rawson (& Nigel Clough) at Mansfield, Charles Vernam at Bradford, wondering where JH-I is at Stevenage....  These players (and manager) are always "Derby" to me.
And so, after Rooney's ill-advised public comments about Louie Sibley yesterday, I no longer care whether Rooney goes or stays.  For me, Derby County isn't about Wayne Rooney, it's about Louie Sibley, Max Bird, Lee Buchanan and the others.   Keep going, boys.

Been scrolling through the podcasts on Talk Derby to me and came across the Lee Camp series.
Most will probably loath him on this forum,but he comes across very well. Speaks from the heart and 500 plus games in his career so far speaks volumes for dedication and desire.
Certainly goes up in my estimation.

One coming in from Chelsea on loan.
 
 

We'll know the truth on this very soon. Tribunal results are published on gov.uk shortly after the verdicts.
They are updated to January 11th 2021. Sam Rush tribunal makes very interesting reading. ?
 

As he made an appearance against Birmingham would that not have triggered a pro contract,therefore giving him a higher saleable value. Seem to think Mac was quite keen to get him on the pitch.
Some ITK have been saying United have been after him for sometime,so it's no secret he has admirers.
We signed Bogle and JML from Swindon Town's academy. Unfortunately it's football. Swindon will have done well with the sell on fee and if we don't sell ourselves short i'm sure we will to.

Here's a thought. It's common knowledge that the clubs accounts are well overdue.As a consequence are we in another embargo ??

I've read all your posts loweman, as many of us have, with a huge amount of interest as these were the players and heroes of my formative years, never mind the success and enjoyment they brought me, and us as a club. It's great to see so many of them doing well and thank you for sharing it all with us.
I am though puzzled by one thing.  You've made a number of references to the players you've met not feeling valued by the club, and again with the report of your visit to the king. And yet, on the few times I've been behind the scenes at PP there are lots of references to the players of that era; we have Roy Mac on the board and in the bar; other ex players as ambassadors; Roger features regularly on Rams TV and at Moor Farm; explayers meet up at the Yard; we often have ex-players on the pitch making presentations; we have an ex players football and cricket team and, I thought, an ex players association; we have a stand named after Gordon Guthrie, statues of our greatest goalscorer and our greatest management team and an in house TV programme that regularly features ex players from a number of eras including the 70s. And we have an owner/Chairman of similar age to you and I who probably remembers these players with the same affection that we have for them. And who encourages connections with our past as well as our future. In short, from the outside, I think we do pretty well to maintain links with our past.
Given all that (and I may have missed examples or be wrong about others) what has the club done or not done to make the players from this era feel unwanted or unrecognised and is there anything that can be done to correct it? Clearly, from your contributions, some of them won't be interested, but some clearly are.
