Why does thinking we'll go straight back up make someone a happy clapper? 

I'd be very surprised if we came straight back up, considering the amount of work that needs doing, but being optimistic doesn't make someone a happy clapper.

I work in an office full of Oxford Utd fans, and from what I gather we are going into a frying pan that includes broken glass. 

Also lets face it, two of the spots are probably pre-booked by Everton/Burnley/Norwich/Watford.

For me its two stage -

a. Stop the rot (not on the pitch but the back of house stuff) - clarity needed on where we stand

b. Rebuild - this could take a fair while.

Not sure Ive seen anyone say we will go straight back up but I assume you are right?

It would be great to go straight back up obviously, but still too many questions marks hanging - the ground, actual confirmation of sale, further points deduction (?).

I will be happy if we just sort our poo out in L1.

There are some happy clappers on here who think we will go straight back up - that would be great obviously - but rather than desperately lunge at it it needs to be done in a sustainable fashion.

Create a model that can then be expanded for an eventual return to the Promised Land.

We go down, and we will lose a significant number/if not all of our players.

We will contract to the size of a L1 team. There might be 30,000 watching but on the pitch that is what it will be.

The league is a bearpit and it will take a while to get out of.

I will be happy if we steady the ship and finish outside the relegation zone next season, especially if we get hit by another pts deduction.

Then its a couple of seasons' rebuilding and then get back up - hopefully.

We could go into freefall ....

I think we're all be pleasantly surprised at the speed with which things are moving.

Where the hell have you been?

That looks like a strong  line up. Lots of free transfers in from Trumpton or is it Camberwick Green

I hope they don't regret leaving those big-time clubs to come to us.

With luck we might also be able to lure Bungle and Zippy out of retirement.

Genuine question: at what point is it justified to start getting antsy? 

TBH ... I am well beyond that now. This is now an absolute train wreck.

Wish we could fast forward to this time next season when Dave Scrubbins is manager (who's he I hear you cry ? - exactly)

and the team is -

Hugh, Pugh, Barny, McGrew, Cuthbert , Dibble, Grub, Morecombe, Wise, Barker, Corbett

We have Gillingham on Saturday, and with a win we can get out of the bottom four.

As long as Dibble's surgical support is back from Robert Dyas we may have a chance.

TBH this is beyond rubbish now.

Are our new owners just being 'In Administration'?

I was doing my usual day dreaming earlier, and it usually leads to what I'd spend my 100 million on if I won the euro millions 

 

If you won 100m would you be prepared to save Derby by donating x amount, if so how much, and what would you want in return?

 

I think I'd be happy putting 20m, I don't want much in return, just be treated like a god, and have free reign to walk around and do as I please

I would keep 20m for myself

40m for the Rams

10m to ring the High Wycombe ground with badly managed land fills sites

10m to buy Middlesborough in its entirety and turn it into a  badly managed land fill site ..

....  hold up, someone has beaten me to the last one.

Are we nearly there yet?

So delays are entirely to be expected and not a sign of poor management on either side. It takes 2 (or three or 4) to Tango

I beg to differ. 

My great fear is that if someone really wanted us, they would have made it happen by now, especially since Mel seemed to clear a path through the Boro rubbish.

I really hope we aren't being purchased as the equivalent of someone's super yacht status symbol/something to do at the weekend.

Anyway, aside from that, sorry to hear your big deal fell through.

What's your next move in cornering the second-hand bicycle market in Tissington?

Mr Tibbles is back. Without the bloody sunflower seeds - they had sold out! - but he did bring the carrier bag back. He seems much more lethargic though. I would have got him to have picked up some Sacatogen if I had realised.

A Tescos lorry carrying carrot sticks has tipped on the A47 ... the sky is black with hamster drones ...

Yeah you’re right buddy. Crazy.

Down our way there have been lots of sightings of animals riding bicycles. My Mrs had enough earlier, and had to forcibly restrain a bear who was not following the Highway Code, and bear left signs. You really couldn’t make it up.

Near me we have real trouble with hamsters using very small drones to get around. They buzz about, the pilot often aggressive and inconsiderate.

All to get to Holland Barratt for the 2 for 1 on sunflower seeds.

I ask you.

We are such an unfashionable club every Rams moment is underrated.

The FA is a very 'London' organisation.

Now, if it was a magic moment by , say West Ham, or Fulham, or QPR ... well ...

Sorry, yes, thought I was posting on my Tinder app.  As you were.

A few times at work I have been day dreaming and answered my work phone as if it was my sidehustle burner ..

"Hello Big Sausage Escorts ..... oh, sorry Margaret it's you, did you manage to get the invoices processed? ....     "

Do you fancy hanging out and talking about Discounted Cash Flow and Consolidated Financial Statements some time?

That's nice dear, but I think people here are more perturbed about counts and ballends ruining the club
