It'll be better when the top teams in the championship form the premier league 2. 

Sky probably need it because they no longer have exclusive prem rights and the teams in our division need it because the EFL arnt fit and proper. It would be the lesser of two evils  

Make sure the new accounts pass FFP then draw a line under it and move on hopefully 

Duck the EFL

G Star, we are not arguing with them, we are just not allowed to accept our independently given sanction because the EFL will appeal. So many are saying that we should take the punishment so we Can move on.......if only that was possible. It is the EFL that are ensuring the fight never ends.

But thats the point hopefully new owners and draw a line under it and move on 

Im hoping that when the takeover is done & morris is out of the picture that us & the EFL can become friends.

Yeah they're incompetent but its no good keep arguing with them. It only affects us negatively with embargo's and bad press. Im hoping it gets done and we can all move on 

Ive heard he still keeps turning up to the training ground like David Brent when he gets sacked in the office

Read what you want into it...Wazza has got a column in the Times discussing the Euros and I find it reasonably interesting and try to see if it gives me an idea whether he's more of a Keegan than Roy Hodgson. When he was appointed i thought, he played most of his career under Sir Alex so we are going to attack. Did not work out that way but then again we are not exactly blessed with lots of attacking talents, we were in a relgation scrap, so i still wasnt sure. So back to the Times column and his analysis of England vs Germany, his choice of midfield is Philipps, Rice and Henderson if fit, if not Bellingham. That midlfield with the fact that he kept leaving Sibley on the bench has made up my mind, steady Roy it is, functional, organised may be. Attacking, me thinks not. And Mount should be available as well...

Also wants to drop grealish & play Rashford ? 

We'll potentially be in league one, were under an embargo & have no money to buy players. Its a tough first gig

A part of me feels sorry for wayne. He has zero backing to bring players in & the club has been a clown show. Its not good for his managerial career but there is a part of me that thinks he could do better with what he has. 

Im not bothered if he stays or goes. Id like him to stay and it all work out, but at the same time i wouldn't blame him for walking.   

Had enough now & cant be bothered. Between the EFL and Mel this is a clown show. We keep bending rules and they are intent om sending us down. Just want to sign a few players and enjoy football again which none of us can at the moment 

Go out put in a performance and win. No good not wanting to win its a losing mentality. Cant imagine france, germany or portugal are bothered about playing anyone in our group 

Unless we get taken over, sign some players we'll finish bottom three

From the very little I've seen of him, he is those horrible players that are sly and cowardly, puts a boot in after the ball has gone, always late with challenges, elbows anyone who challenges him for a header. Always feel like he is going to injure someone everytime he steps foot on the pitch. 

Its the sort of horribleness we miss. Too often we get bullied and beat by physical teams. I wouldn't be against having some spite in the middle of the park.

Not just you @NottsRammy I’ve felt the same for a long time. Neither have done anything special since leaving for me. Same for Bogle & Lowe as don’t believe they will achieve much more than lower end of PL clubs at best either. I agree we’ve been so poor for many years compared to our past (which is old ‘uns can remember) that any player with a modicum of talent gets put on a completely unrealistic pedestal I’m afraid. 

We overrate anyone that comes through our youth system as the next saviour, pablo mills, miles addison, that rawson fella was going to be the next john terry, why arnt we playing callumn ball (think he's pottering about the pub leagues now) paris simmons. The list goes on. 

I do think giles barnes had talent, but injury & attitude prevented him from doing better. Was never going to be a future england star but could have been a mid - low prem player. Hughes crime was not leaving Derby sooner when he had the chance. Staying here too long he stopped developing or hit his level and more talented players have emerged at other clubs who play in the same position    

Other than running around a lot im not sure what else he brings. He seems to fall over a lot if that counts. He looked a bright prospect and best of the lot when he first came through. Now id be willing him to move on.

i think he's a box to box player so not sure why we insist on playing him wide. However shinnie is better and offers more in that position but playing both in the same team means there is a lack of creativity. Not saying he isnt any good but just because he came through our youth system and had a couple of caps for ireland he isnt as good as we make out. If selling means we can bring in a couple of players in critical areas then im all for it 

If we cant find a buyer we might as well just start again in non league at this rate. Or sell any sellable players at a cut price and be left with a side of low earning under 23s. We'd be relegated with the lowest points total but might just survive 

I do still reckon Rush and co are coming in to save us. Surely were worth 60m to get the club for free & wipe the debts.  

Set up a holding company to own 100% of the club, training ground and stadiums companies so they're effectively all the new owners. Clear the 60m debt on purchase, take out another more manageable debt against the stadium for player purchases and have some sensible recruitment in the summer

Sure it's not a parody account?

To be fair its pretty hard to tell the difference between his real account and a parody ?

Bloke is an absolute chancer so will probably pass the EFL fit and proper persons test with flying colours 

Play like we have this season any points deduction will send us down. But just show any sort of midtable form and 6 points shouldnt be an issue. 12 is a different story like 

I thought there was american interest and a 'dream owner' but they were waiting to see what division we were in.

Wonder if any of them deals will potentially become live now we have survived 

Its a toss up for me who plays against wednesday. Both are equally poo

Cant wait for mels next fans forum down the local pub when were allowed back in ?

Its mental to think we could finish on the same number of points as wycombe when they win on the last day and we get beat 

I don't see stans tweets because like thousands of other people I'm blocked by collymore 

Maybe the EFL are just spinning it out on purpose ?‍♂️ we're In a position where Mel wont sack Rooney but also in a total mess.

The longer the mess goes on the more likely we will go down or fail to pay players again etc.

If Alonso took over tomorrow we might sack rooney & co. Put mac in charge and stand a chance In the last two games. If they can't dock us points they might try to derail us any way possible. After all didn't the independent report suggest a vendetta against mr morris 

At least he's making the right noises. Im excited now for the takeover to happen. 

I respect mel spending his own money but he he has been a disaster and that's how i'll remember his time here. Some good moments, done well with the academy but as a whole not good. Can't knock him for trying and heart was in the right place but certainly nieve about footballing matters 

Im happy about Roman Calderon's involvement. I'd like to think someone as high profile as him wouldn't be involved in another three amigo situation. Also a criticism of mel was that he should have got a football man in to help him run the club especially early on. If Alonso has calderon for advice then id like to think were going to be in a good position
