MARTIN SAMUEL: Derby are on the brink of extinction and had 21 points deducted - isn’t that enough now? Middlesbrough and Wycombe lawsuits are based on playing fantasy football.

This was my quote of the day
"Derby facing another 10 point deduction due to them daring to move off the bottom without permission from the EFL"

Can't say Mun(c)h about this. ☺️

This guy...

In our current predicament, I'm struggling to believe people would consider Ashley being interested is anything other than good news.

Id rather people just left the administrators get on with their job to be honest.
What difference is them providing answers to these questions going to make to the process?
Any negatives answers will play into the hands of any vultures circling around our youngsters, any positive answers will be passed off as spin or lies.
The only thing I want to hear from the administrators is when a deal is done, I dont even need to know who the preferred bidder is, its completely irrelevant to me and the whole process.

I think Curtis will go down as one of my favourite ever Derby players. He's just a hero. His attitude to playing for this club is absolutely immaculate and he's been a top performer for years. One of the best signings we've made in a long long time. 

Happy New Year to all. 

2021 would have been a whole lot worse without this forum!
All the best for 2022.

2021 hasn't been easy for a lot of people, even tougher for us Derby County fans that have had to endure and will continue to do so the sleepless nights with the unthinkable, the threat of our club facing possible liquidation. 
I just wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year, without you, this community would not be here, the community that has allowed fans from not just around the country, but the world to come together and help each other through these difficult times and I'm sure will continue to do so through next year and beyond.
For any players, management, staff, anyone connected to the club that may also be reading this, Happy New Year to you also, I can only speak for myself, but I'm sure many others will agree, you are all making us so proud to be a Ram, we cannot ask anymore from you.
Let's all go and smash 2022 ?
 

The EFL, Couhig and Gibson right now. . . 
 

 

 

If the club survives I think Rooney has the potential to be the most influential Derby manager of my lifetime (I should mention I'm only 24 before you start twatting the keyboard). Even if this is his last season with us, the siege mentality he's created could have a lasting effect on the club.
I'm particularly thinking about the relationship between the club and the fans when I say this. I'll leave the tactical stuff to our resident football geniuses.
I hate Leeds and their fans as much as the next Ram but the relationship they have with their teams is almost second to none. They went to hell and back but on their way down the divisions they gained a siege mentality. They have a bravado/arrogance to their fanbase that can seem distasteful to the outside but is incredibly galvanising for the players/staff. They also don't boo them.
Pride Park is different this season, the fans still showing up are generating the best atmosphere I've been a part of and there's 10,000 less of us. If we keep that, a club the size of ours will be successful without having to chuck too much money around.
If we're getting results now with washed up free agents, academy players and 39 year old CB's, imagine what it's going to be like when we have a decent team again. The supporters getting an extra 10/20% out of the players will only get us so far and affect the table so much now but if we'd had more of that in those season's with promotion potential (13/14, 14/15, 15/16, 17/18, 18/19) maybe we wouldn't be in this mess.
I don't take what Rooney's doing this year for granted, under the leadership of a lesser man the atmosphere could be utterly toxic the way it has been in recent tough periods. No offence to a great servant to the club but imagine if Darren Wassall was in charge of this team! Rooney's got this hopeless team in a hopeless situation playing with more guts than anyone else, if he wasn't doing that we'd be gaining nothing from our fall. 
Maybe Rooney isn't a tactical mastermind but he's used what he has got to keep everyone's heads up; despite everything going on we feel like a "big club".
I'm an optimist but I'm hoping we'll look back at the Rooney years as the period in which our support went from quite good to up there with the best in the country. That's something that will attract players, get us results we don't deserve and make the experience of watching Derby simply more fun, even if we're poo.

It's going to be DCI Ian Buckles isn't it?

I think some people misunderstood when the Administrators mentioned LBW in the Cricket.  
They took it as Liquidation By Wednesday. 

Hopefully the uptake in booster's will ensure the spread is over more quickly than with the previous waves. Chris witty has said the data from south africa has been overinterpreted in relation to omicron but hopefully a similar thing happens here (a big spread but few hospitalisations). I'm getting my booster with my mum tomorrow as it's better safe than sorry and pretending you're either not going to get this or can easily predict what will happen seems to me like taking a completely unnecessary risk. By getting a booster not only are you protecting yourselves but you're also protecting those more vulnerable than yourself.

What is your pessimistic viewpoint?
