…then we all die in a major fire. ? 

I have just one request to the players and coaching staff...
Before we leave this fine upstanding division of virtue and glory, can we please, please, please regain guardianship of The Brian Clough Trophy.
Thankyou.

Indeed. Reminds me of John Donne's Devotions upon Emergent Occasions ...
No man is an Island, intire of it selfe; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the maine; if a Clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europe is the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, as well as if a Mannor of thy friends or of thine owne were; any mans death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankinde; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.
In short, those discerning fans know that it could be them...next. ?

Out of 30 promotions over the last 10 years, only 3 Clubs have gone up without breaking FFP. So, why do we have a system that clearly doesn’t work. The whole chebang is loaded towards those who reside around the top of the top table. The EFL are just a bunch of jumped-up suits who to quote Simon Jordan “ sit around a table discussing the colour of the linesmans’ flags whilst Clubs go to the wall…”. The result is that football is knackered…mired in pointless international fixtures (San Marino 0, England 10 (ten), VAR which also doesn’t work, and a Top Division which only 3 Clubs from this point on can win. Project forward a few more seasons and it will implode, fractured, splintered and bust. 

"ask not what the EFL can do for you, ask what the EFL can do to your club."

Seen a mix on social media - usual Florest and Leeds fans mocking, got what you deserved for cheating blah blah blah. But seen quite a few, dare I say more, from the same group of fans, plus the likes of Birmingham empathising and calling out your exact point Alty, that it's the fans that suffer.

I’ve often wondered that in quieter moments…

Just simply wonderful. Beautiful sunny Derby weather, beautiful lush BBG turf, and a Man Ure side with Best, Charlton, Morgan and a host of other household names simply brushed aside. Hugh Johns commenting - a real old master and blow me I bought a coat just like Brian Moore is wearing in the studio just 2 weeks ago. Any youngsters ....just watch this game. In the 70's football was still the "beautiful game" and probably at its apogee...pure football pleasure. Love it.

The EFL should step in and threaten them with a points deduction. Im not sure what for but its complete nonsense of a claim from gibson
The EFL have punished us. We have accepted the points deduction. EFL & Derby can now draw a line under it and move on.
However that clown is potentially putting off other buyers. It should be against the spirt of the game (whatever that is). Its the EFL's job to punish us not gibsons or boro's.
There is no way they can prove they would have gone up if they had got in the playoffs & therefore he can't prove a loss. He should be told by the league to drop it 

This is a good watch, Benjamin Bloom own ELF Channel on youtube...18mins on DCFC and his thoughts on Boro and Wycombe who want to Sue us.
 

Dear Mr Gibson.
Thank you for your claim.
We are sorry you didn't get promoted. Neither did we.

Please Send your bill to the other Stevie G, now newly installed as manager of Aston Villa.
We will add it to the rather larger sum we  are requesting from them, and see what they say.

Unfortunately you will not be eligible to partcipate in our claim against QPR but you could try a sponging off a few other big spending clubs like , er Middlesbro.. oh no that's you isnt it? . 
 
Yours as ever
Lawyer

£20m? I thought it was worth more than that? Sure I read it somewhere ?

I cannot believe the audacity of Gibson the season we went to play off final and lost to Villa we had the following (A) Superior Team who played good football compared to there HOOF ball tactics. (B) A better manager in Lampard compared to Pulis and (C) Better players. So I can't see where Gibson is coming from when he says we stopped them getting into the play-off's illegally the man is pathetic. 

Your chairman misses his team draw with already relegated Rotherham to miss out on a play off place as it took 3 hours to reset.  Do not pass go.  
You blow 16 million on a carthorse from Forest on 85k a week wages.  You have no money left.  Please try the Derby County get out of jail free card.
You take Derby County to court on a spurious and hilarious allegation.  Go to jail, go directly to jail, do not get promoted,  pay a fine of a million pounds.
