Can’t help but think marking the striker from a set piece would’ve been a good idea.
Never mind.

I would imagine there are all sorts of “externalities” in the figure that we would not even consider. Rates for the ground and the rates for businesses local to the ground who benefit from the footfall, to think of just two

I am afraid I cannot respect or appreciate anyone who released a woe is me interview the week tens of club employees lost their jobs through no fault of their own. I dare say his pay off alone could’ve paid their salaries for years. Everything he’s done since has been to worm his way back into the affections of the Derby fans.
If he cared about the club or it’s fans in any way he would not have done what he did. No issue with a player who isn’t bothered, I just prefer that my intelligence isn’t insulted along the way.
Was good to see him sprawled on the floor as Blackpool conceded his he other way. Brought back memories of him playing for us.

Don’t think I said that did I?
He is welcome to claim unfair dismissal from whomever he likes. I take great issue with him then doing sob story interviews the week many hard working employees lost their jobs as a result of administration. His is not a sob story, he got paid millions of quid for sitting on his arse doing nothing as a result of his own stupidity. If you want to do that then you lose the right to claim you care about the fans or the club in any way. 
I have no interest in seeing him interact with our fans, I have no interest in seeing him at Derby games claiming it is “his club”. I cannot believe people buy it.

I am sure Colin Gibson has sensationalised it slightly but shows the measure of Chris Powell as a man that he accepted that nonsense from Morris.
A season that summed up Morris’ entire ownership. Complete and utter incompetence from start to finish

Well no, no evidence in that any party involved has ever said it publicly, but it is exactly what the thread is discussing and I think was common knowledge anyway.
Maybe it contributed to Pearson’s sacking, maybe it didn’t. I dare say Pearson was paranoid. Personally I think if a player felt he could influence a managers sacking based on being next in line to be sold, it would suggest the player(s) had too much power. I think that attitude may also help to explain some of the behaviour we saw in subsequent years too.

No, I shouldn’t have used the word “fact” but I don’t really think it changes too much.
If Radio Derby are correct, and I doubt they’d veer too far from the truth, Pearson felt the players had too much power / too close a relationship with the owner (delete as appropriate), and sought to fix that by shipping them out. One player in question responded by running to the owner and the manager was subsequently sacked. Said player went on to be dismissed a couple of years later for a serious breach of discipline.
I must stress I am only talking with the benefit of hindsight, obviously. Pearson’s football was crap and he should never have been hired unless there was full acceptance of any decisions he made. I am just saying that he was ultimately proved right. McClaren was a generally good replacement until he was sacked for no real reason, although the treatment of Powell seems shoddy at best.

A bit of a self fulfilling prophecy in a way but I think the fact a player could get a manager sacked because his place was under threat shows it probably did need blowing up, with the benefit of hindsight of course.
At the time I was happy he left. 
That season it was like every decision made the previous one about 10x worse. Each one probably justifiable in its own right but as a collective just absolutely horrendous.

And mostly recouped albeit after it took a couple of managerial sackings to find someone who knew how to use Vydra. But more than you can say for the majority of our signings from 2015 to 2019.
