Indulge me on this post - this just came on the radio & sums being a Derby fan up for me!

 It’s called Fool again by Westlife.

this is the chorus:

Can't believe that I'm a fool again
I thought this love would never end
How was I to know?
You never told me
Can't believe that I'm a fool again
And I who thought you were my friend
How was I to know?
You never told me

(if you’re feeling really melancholy you could substitute love with club!)

i just don’t have any words to contribute to this debate other than Mel will not want the club’s demise to be his legacy & you can’t believe what some papers print. 
 

I am clinging on to that hope

Not added to this thread for a long time but had the pleasure today of meeting up with one of the last legends on the list, Mr David Nish round at his house, took the old man along and had a great chat with “Nishy”about the great days of the 70s, no side to him at all, in fact he spoke more about his love of his allotment than football, he still follows the Rams and like the rest of us is sad to see what is happening, he was a great servant to the club joining straight after the first championship season, went on to play for England and was part of that legendary defence with McFarland and Todd, was our highest transfer fee as well at that time, classy defender who always had time on the ball, was also one of the British mafia who took over the NASL, it was great to see my old man reliving those special memories with him !

David Nish was my favourite player 

Apart from anything else, it must cost us a fortune in legal fees & other advice

The EFL need to understand their own rules & apply them consistently. It’s no good for us or any club to keep having to go through this

In my view, he secured legend status at the club yesterday 

I was impressed by Curtis after the joiners debacle. He just stepped back in after a period of being sidelined & brought a real calmness when it was sorely needed.

Then today, talk about selfless; he could have risked serious injury but chose Derby over that.

I don’t think Rooney, the club or us will, or should forget what he’s done for us.

Definitely give him a new contract. He’s the sort of character we need.
