I think that's the issue. No problem with going for it..but we were never creative..we didn't have an overseas scouting team we didn't seem to have anyone expertly looking over lower league players..we didn't have stats guys identifying undervalued potential...we pretty much just bought high and sold low. It was amateur hour ..that was the big problem..

Mel already tried the same thing as Leicester and Wolves - i.e spend loads of money, break ffp and hope you go up before the EFL can touch you. It just hasnt worked in our case
Or are you referring to that time Leicester went into administration and shafted all the local businesses around them, because we might be able to do that soon as well if you want.

Villa are one that annoy me. They had to sell their stadium to remain compliant (as we did), but they've had to do that even with parachute payments. The villa fans i worked with at the time really wouldnt shut up about them battering us multiple times, but it would have been embarrasing if we'd been able to compete with them after the money they spent.

Recall them having the gates locked at the start of that season till they settled a massive tax bill- then they spent another wad of cash and didn't have to sell Grealish.  There's a lot worse fans around to be fair though and they did save us 5 million quid and 40 k a week on Lansbury.  

The one that gets my goat is Leeds.  The club clamouring all over social media for our relegation, would very likely be in the same boat if they hadn't gone up and were the only club to my knowledge, allowed to finish one season in administration and start another one in the same state. They should by rights have been removed from the league so they can balls.

If you don't want to see us play in the Champions League, that is your choice!

The scariest thing is Morris will probably take you seriously 

I'm sorry, but this club is no place for someone who hits the target with such frequency.

On the plus side, I'm putting together a credible bid to buy Derby County.
I don't have any actual money. I don't have any experience in running a sports team, or in fact any business. I don't have a financial backer, but I hope that by having a deal to buy a business that makes massive losses every year, I will attact some financial muscle.
I am willing to create a tiktok account to engauge with fans.
I don't have a website.
I expect to be on Talksport tomorrow morning explaining how I am going to buy the right players no matter the cost and bring forward a new golden age.
I do not intend to retain the managerial services of Mr Rooney or the current coaching staff.
 

Isn't his boyhood club Portsmouth? 

Nah. I've made peace with the fact that we'll never compete with the parachute teams and we'll probably be in this league or lower forever. 
As i said i'll take a few seasons of mediocrity if it gives me some exciting games/players again. Slow buildup is the best we can hope for, so no point losing patience with it. We're not going to do a Leeds and appoint a world class manager or run the club the same as Brentford or cheat like Watford, so we have no other options other than slow really.

Read my second post. Maybe I am misreading the rules, but they can still give us a points deduction this season as long as it doesn't relegate us.
You are entitled to your opinion, but a points deduction is still very much possible and I'll discuss what I want regardless of how much it has been discussed over recent weeks - that is the point of the forum. Until the EFL verdict is finalised you are going to have to live with the consequences being discussed on here.

I feel like i always say i'd just like some stability, but i genuinely wouldnt mind a few seasons of mid table if we could have some more memorable games v Forest or even some players i feel some connection to. 
Other than maybe some of the youth players none of the players we currently have really make me think they are someone worth keeping. The likes of Bucco, Hendrick, Russell, Keogh, etc all played in some pretty dire seasons for us, but i still felt we were all in it together and a lot of those players will be remembered for a long time. In the current team i wouldnt be that bothered if we got rid of all of them.

Barnsley for the giggles.

Very ordinary team, could go very bad very quickly.

Given in goal, Rosenior, Wassall and Bucko in defence, Steve Mac in midfield and Wazza upfront...sorted...

Hopefully with a new owner and new Manager we can start afresh and a rebuild and start getting those sort of players in again...

There have been times I've been a little wistful for the days of mid-table obscurity under Clough Jnr - The days when we weren't sure if Theo Robinson could somehow turn himself into a good player (spoiler, he couldn't) and when we'd pick up such bargain legends as Craig Bryson (hero) and a little known, unfancied midlands lad from the back end of nowhere could be plucked from (essentially) non-league to become a folk hero (GodBlessBucko)

I'd take just winning a game at this point.
If we somehow stay up i'd imagine it will be several years before we ever get close to challenging for promotion again
