It’s not often I say this but there’s been a good call on Radio Derby tonight. It was highlighting how our wage bill went from £14m a year when we lost to QPR in the play off final to £40m just a few seasons later! Covid wasn’t invented then Mel! 

All players ask for more money and didn’t Bryson change his mind about going to Burnley?
Some fans will slate Keogh for his payout too but I am one of those who think that he was made the scapegoat for ‘that’ night.

The model for Championship football is "you'll get tons of money if you make it to the premier league" which is obviously not a healthy one. The only alternative model is "accept you are a lower league club, and have lower league players or sell to fund" - there's not a model for competetive and sustainable. Even the much lauded Bretford were on a sell to fund model, they made it work, but you can't run a whole system on the basis of everyone selling to everyone else, Brentofrd only made it work by selling to clubs chancing on the premier league dream, if every other club was trying to pull the same as Brentford, the market wouldnt be what it was for Brentofrd.
The economics of football are hopeless, the championship is a good example of how broken they are, and DCFC are an example of what happens if you fail. Take all the moral hand wringing out of it (for i do believe a lot of it is partizan and somewhat flexible), Derby's main crime was to fail. If we'd succeeded apart from a few grumbles, we'd have been welcomed to the Prem and talk would only be of the team that did it.
 
 
 

Clickbait, if we hadn't got Englands and Man United's top scorer managing us it wouldn't get a mention.

It'll get paid. Could do without the never-ending brinkmanship to be honest, but this just smacks of more histrionic clickbait for their terminally gullible readership.

I’ve lost a bit of love not interest in football due to money creating an uneven playing field, the parachute payment seasons being extended benefitted the Premier League and nobody else.
Fulham have spent £20m, the rest of the championship combined £21m.
Why do clubs like Bury fold when the Premier League are swimming in cash, wasn’t their issue just an unpaid tax bill of £170,000 or something?
Families are being priced out of going to matches and the big clubs are only interested in tourists.
McClaren and Lampard showed though that the feel good factor does put bums on seats proving that some people expect value for money rather than being ‘loyal’.

I think Wednesday onwards will tell us more than that meeting to be honest!

I’m not Rooney’s biggest fan (as the Manager) however, as he wasn’t removed following a poor end of season he has to be given a run of games to prove himself under very difficult circumstances.
the first game wasn’t a classic, we showed character to beat Salford and we were closing in on a tight away win until Sibley had his usual mad one and Jozwiak decided to mark the linesman.
We’re not going to take the league by storm with Lawrence and Jozwiak as our key creative players and such a thin striker department so it’s crucial that Rooney improves tactically to pick up points.
Lampard should’ve done better with his squad let’s be honest, when we are taken over we can dispense with the vanity project and appoint managers based on ability not commercial value.
Until then, the fans need to be positive and hopefully Wednesday won’t be too damaging for us (the accounts deadline).

Errrr, nope. I don’t think that 18 players picked up the ball, then mouthed at the ref and got themselves booked trying to get a free kick that never was…. Just the usual suspects. 

I’d replace Tom Lawrence with Jennifer Lawrence. Unlikely to be any major change in performance levels, or results, but shirt swapping at full time would cheer me up.

At the end of the day, the club should’ve communicated with the fans better and the output from that meeting rests with the club. 
Don’t worry about what has happened, those ‘fans’ who have abused you should stay off this forum and go forth…
Hopefully the wait will be worth it!
