Poor sod, leaving Florida and finding Derby. ??

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

Classic Mel if he bought him in as manager

A bit cuter and less ... er ... Goldie

Tim Brooke Taylor RIP

The "chef" should have been.

I hope it was battered as well

Tough start then

Let's hope all his accounts are good

Didn't someone once say. If you want to become a millionaire, start off as a billionaire and buy a football club.
Pretty sure Mel would have realised buying a club would lose him money in the long run

That could have been better written ?
