The square root of bugger all

We will stay up. 110%

Apparently , the admin lads nipped out on Xmas eve dinner for a “cheeky pint”. With every intention of making the imminent announcement when they got back. However they ended up going Out Out and not been seen since.

It is not in administrators remit to "stall a bit" they are there working for creditors not the club. As soon as there is a suitable agreement for the creditors then the club can be sold unless the debt to be serviced is too high, the administrators won't bother what league the club are in and people have to understand they are not working for the club but for creditors.

I'm afraid the administrators are just as incompetent than Morris was. At least Morris was hoping for clubs best. 

If anyone looking to become owners of DCFC had any serious thoughts that we might be playing in the Ch'ship next season, people might already question their judgement. 

It's a fact that the EFL didn't prescribe what form of Amortisation clubs should use. It's reasonable to believe that DCFC should have had their change of Amortisation method approved officially by the EFL prior to applying it. But it's also reasonable to believe that because the method to be used was open to interpretation, the consequences for DCFC should have been more proportionate than 18 months of embargo, more than 2 years of uncertainty, denial of pandemic relief funds, loss of potential take-over transactions, and ultimately Administration and potential liquidation. 
Some posters are concerned about the lack of balance on here, fair enough, but where's the balance in the reporting of the issues outside of here? 

Until today, it seems!
Have an angry face reaction on me, for opining what people can and cannot discuss on here.
 

Is that Enoch Powell in the middle?

I saw an item on one of our fourms where Marcus Evans may throw his hat in the ring to take over at your club.    Listen up and do whatever you can to ensure this never takes place.    Evans may be a businessman, he may have involvement or control within other aspects of industry but has never, and can never, hope to succeed within ownership of a 'football' team.
His 14 years with us came at a heavy price.   Took the club name down to third league status for first time in some half a century, appointed one crap manager name after another, time and time again, did not invest in new players  and never spoke out or was seen to be seen when the fans really needed help at it's most.    At times it seemed he just didn't care.
Was kept in place with us for far more years than what was necessary.  Came on board after Sheepshanks in 2007 and was expected to steer the club back to something achieving, but took the club in the opposite direction.    Fans were overjoyed when he finally left in the summer although some were thankful for his services.
Don't allow Derby County to follow this route, forewarned is forearmed.    It looks like we'll be playing you again next season and while i'm looking forward to it and wish it once again at higher level, do whatever you can to make sure Evans is not coming back to Portman Road when you make the trip over and do the right thing, hire someone else to take ownership.    Mike Ashley too, can't really speak for that name but realize he has amounted a lot of hostility and anger with previous clubs he's been involved at.  
 

Mike Ashley - 
We actually know who he is and can vouch for his net worth- check
Experience of running a football club - check 
Experience of getting a football club promoted multiple times - check 
Experience of running a football clubs finances and operations on a sound footing, proven over a prolonged period of time - check 
Has the proven finances to run the club with no danger of running out of cash - check 
Is not Mel Morris - check 
 
it’s a yes from me 

When things go wrong in a company, the best organisations avoid blame culture at all cost and look at things objectively. Too many people think its normal to associate events with attacks on character.

He's a generous bloke, £1.2m for a robotic surgeon to Derby Hospital that helps the city, saved lives and pumped millions into the football club.
People can dissect his running of the club and they will, but honestly having talked to him on many occasions, he's a decent guy that does care.
I would receive calls just to check up how I was doing during my bad days with anxiety. Was hard to read that he was going through his own health issues.
I'll get hammered for this post but I'm gutted for the guy with how this is ending. Always will.
Won't ever feel comfortable reading people laying into him as a man, but accept that others haven't been as lucky I have to have been able to see that side of him.

I like the analogy.
I think for paying gas, electric and water bills on an empty property could represent paying wages to Ikechi Anya.

Bants?

Thought you were starting a Steps song then Angie. 

Last christmas, you gave us the Sheik, the very next day, he faded away, this year to save us from tears, we're going to league 1 football....

Yep, but we only spend 10 million on a player, not 20 and its UEFA cup not champions league 

None of the things we can do in league one are things we can't do in the Championship. We'd just be poorer. 

Stream god awful. Audio skipping and buffering constantly and regular 404 errors mid stream.
They are using a CDN to serve the content so the problem is not related to too many people/bandwidth -- its corrupted MPEG stream coming from their equipment. (used to work in video).

Mine started working properly just in time for Keogh's goal!
