Three posts in succession...appears to be a mass debate with himself. ?

I thought it was only polite to "debate" with yourself.

@Curtains are you about to have a debate with yourself? ?

I wouldn’t take the punishment out of principle, but then I can understand why the club would just to settle it and be allowed to move on.
Whilst you have the likes of Gibson and Wycombe threatening to take legal action, the EFL will continue to appeal to show they have done everything in their power. 
My concern now is there is genuine tension between the club and the EFL, this might calm once Mel has completed the sale of the club, just fear that we will be scrutinised for any minor infraction now and on their radar.
With the club statements made, we have embarrassed them, shown the EFL up as the incompetent organisation it is, and that will have ruffled some big feathers.
Some would argue, we should have kept quiet, rolled over, but let’s not forget how this tension really all started, way back when Mel was the one actively fighting for better TV deals to benefit the entire Football League gaining support along the way.
I agree with @Dan_Ram, as fans of this club we should be doing our bit to change the narrative to the real issue here which should be a huge story.
Unfortunately though, the vocal fans we do have are using their voices to continue with their anger towards the club from top to bottom.
We have no chance of this happening and I find that kinda sad in all honesty, doesn’t feel like we have any togetherness at all right now. Some will argue that’s Mel’s fault for the way he’s run the club, but that’s missing the point here which Dan has made in this thread.
When you see other clubs like Leeds for example, blatantly cheating with spying on training sessions they were out in force over Derby forums and social media defending their club.
Us? We even had fans saying so what, they spied on our training sessions preparing to play them and that’s the difference.
Keogh, rather than look at what he did to this club, we have fans out there going through employment laws section 2b on page 456 that says we did wrong. 
Forget the fact that the club captain refused a taxi home and stayed out with young lads, one of which had been drinking to get over the loss of his mum, get in a car with them. 
No no, 2b in the employment law, page 456 ffs says we should have sacked them all, wanting us to write off one of our most valuable assets that could still perform for the club and actually needed an arm round him, some support as the young man tries to get over the loss of his mum. 
I really dislike Leeds, REALLY dislike Leeds but I can’t help but respect the togetherness through right or wrong, that is there club and nobody shall attack it.
I’m sure you could link this to the atmosphere between the 2 grounds as well, feels like we’re waiting to boo rather than get behind the team.
As a disclaimer to this I do feel there are times when you cannot support, a player that has been racist for example, found guilty, but in fairness I don’t think he’s been that popular since with them.

Be our guest!

Can’t say I blame him 

Wycombe and their fans are not the enemy here. The EFL have demonstrated their incompetence multiple times in the past. The way this has been managed, culminating in a press release a few hours ahead of the fixture list, shows how unfit for purpose they are. They are not alone with the FA and Premier league providing good company. As always fans come a poor second

Surely that depends on if he met @MuespachRam ?

Lucky sod you mean!
Wouldn't catch me in that dive of a place Florida.

Poor sod, leaving Florida and finding Derby. ??

I think think this is the nub of it. You can take the ebb and flow of the fates, you can endure a grim couple of seasons, reshaping, relegation even. On the other side you might even get to enjoy a few sweet moments when a youngster, played from genuine need, shows some talent t give us hope of better things to come.
What kills you is the waiting, the not knowing. It’s like showing you the instruments of torture while you’re strapped to the wrack and they say .. when shall we start ? Then just as the thumb screws are about to be put on, someone comes in with a tray of tea and biscuits for Torquemada and says “it’s your break” . Then when he’s finished that, his mobile rings so he stops and says “do you mind if I take this” 
 
 

If this happens, I for one will want to know if you are ITK. 
You wont get much for thruppence hapenny.
I truly think that the EFL probably don't have much grounds to punish us but they can delay the outcome in the meantime keeping us under an embargo. - The downside from that the potential new owners are maybe hanging on until the outcome of the EFL findings are published. 
This way the EFL can hurt us and really ruin our season without actually giving out any real punishment.

Ughhh! Filthy students.

You shouldn’t take offence B4, nor will I about you calling me a git bag. Just looked it up in the urban dictionary. It made me smile, and my wife thinks you have nailed it.  She often refers to me as a simple country boy, but with a few less syllables.

Only a mindless vandal with dyslexia would go round slashing tyrees. 

Interesting thoughts.
I would argue we do currently have half the team of academy players, the problem is they aren't good enough as a collective.
To achieve this you would need to churn out at least 5 or 6 players every couple of years that are of championship standard and hope we keep them all.
Any academy would be lucky to produce one or 2 that are capable of staying the course in the championship in a decent team, every few years. 
All young players develop at a different rate and most will never make the grade.
I personally think that if you want to be successful you should intergrade one maybe 2 academy players at a time not 5or 6 9unless they are Will Hughes standard or above)

As long as he remains a Derby player, we should sing knight

If he knows what Man U should do, then it makes me wonder what his role at Derby really is. 

I hope it was battered as well
