Do the maths. Without the points deductions, Derby would have stayed up. Therefore they weren't relegated due to the quality of team, but because of the quality of previous ownership. This isn't complicated. Derby were a poor team away from home, but that's not the same thing; they were a rather competent side at home, just lacking a cutting edge up front, or I'd say a good team at home. You can't discount that - you average it over all the games played. When you do that, you have to reach the conclusion Derby were rather mediocre, but certainly not poor. Except financially

Last season we underachieved away from home but overachieved at Pride Park.
Regardless of where they came from, we acquired enough points to have stayed up had it not been for the deductions.
Stoke were in the PL for about five years straight due to their home form.
Doesn’t really matter where the points come from, it’s the overall tally which counts.
We could win League One this season losing half our away games IF our form at Pride Park is dynamite.
For further context, Mansfield reached the League Two playoff final last season yet they only won 7 away games all season. They lost 9.

I've done a little research and relegated Championship/League 1 team's home records last season were - 
Championship - Derby 40pts/Peterborough 25/Barnsley 22
League 1 - Gillingham 20pts/Crewe 20/Doncaster 24/Wimbledon 20
Our record is the outlier because we weren't as bad a side as the others.

Selective stats again though.
Last season, two of the three teams (Crewe and Doncaster) were indeed in the bottom three for points accrued away. But, all three teams relegated were also in the bottom 5 for points accrued at home (with Crewe and Wimbledon in the bottom three). If any of them had gained enough points at home to be in the top half of the table on that measure (as we were) they would probably have survived. 
So, it's not as simplistic as just looking at points earned away from home. 

Jesus wept!!!  Does it matter how we accrued our points total??  The inarguable fact is that we gained enough points to finish outside the divisions relegation zone if we hadn't been docked 21 points due to bad business practices.  There's nothing in the rules that state that a certain number of those points have to be gained in away fixtures, so why does it matter that a majority of them were won at home???

It strikes me as a team that were poor away but reasonable (mid table) at home (only six teams lost fewer home games than us so, using your logic of only making an assessment on limited data does that mean we were a good team?). Overall, I would say we were an average (or just below average) championship team.

I think you can attribute it to loosing a number of players in the January window, especially Jagielka & Shinnie.  Two big characters on & off the pitch. 
We weren't a brilliant side by any measure, but the fact remains that without the points deduction we would've finished 17th.  And as I've said previously I believe that if we had a decent striker, playing the majority of matches we'd have stayed up even with the -21.

We weren't relegated because we were a poor side. We were relegated because we had 21 points deducted. Without the points deduction we would have finished well clear of the relegation zone.
We were by no means a fantastic side and yes you could argue what ifs and whatabouts all day, but we were not one of the three worst teams last year. Not that it really matters though - most of that team doesn't even play for us now - won't really help us next season.

I imagine he's still got most of the money that was in his personal account, the amount he cashed out and used as his proof of funds (however much that was) but isn't willing to part with it because it's now all he's got, since his one big business idea has flushed itself down the toilet.
Likely he didn't want to / couldn't face up to just how f***** his business accounts were after crypto-crash, maybe even got distracted with all the goings on here and simply took his eye off the ball.
Possibly once reality dawned on him he was in too deep with promises & commitments made to people at Derby he could no longer realistically keep, instead of accepting / owning his mistakes and dealing with the situation properly, he doubled down on the excuses, hiding from responsibility.
A bit like like Mel Morris really, the intent may have been honourable but the actions haven't followed suit.
We'll simply never know.

Ron Webster and Peter Daniel too.

I've always wanted us to have a roofeless strike force and I'm pleased to see that isn't going to change anytime soon. 

Could Roofe be our apex predator?

Not again, thanks

Thanks for everything King CKR, you arrived in our hour of need. We will always remember you fondly and you will always be welcome back at PP 
ONCE A RAM ? ?????
 

One of my favourite ever Derby players & very sad he's gone. Arrived with ridicule from some quarters but quickly proved what a good player he was...big, tough, worked hard & technically very underrated.
Arguably his greater impact was his presence as a leader. We struggled horribly throughout 20/21 but he led the side by securing good quality possession in the final 3rd & grabbed some crucial goals/assists. Without him, we'd have been in League One last season & God knows where today. Was class off the field too, his charisma endearing him to fans & younger players. And without wanting a debate about it, loved his stand against the Millwall fans booing the knee.
Loved his leaving message & glad we made as much impact on him as he did on us. A class act to the end.
Go well King Kazim ?

Don’t worry B4. If Colin so chooses, he can still link up with big boys, even though he’s left Derby.
 

As I said above, I'm not sure he ever scored in a game where we lost?
 

That's how you write a leaving message. Think I've got something in my eye.
Thanks for the memories CKR. 
???✊

Top drawer goodbye that.
Mo great surprise but sad to see him go.

Not the same after his injury sadly but never gave less than 100% for the shirt. Best of luck mate.  Once a Ram......
