I'm starting to wonder whether that is really the aim or if the aim should be to have a sustainable club which plays good football week to week? 
Supporting a football club is unlike anything I can think of. It's tribal. It's a romance. It's a rollercoaster of emotions. It's the thing you have no control over yet yearn for it do the best it possibly can, and shout as loudly as you can to 'help' it do that. 
Ive got to the point that all I want is to be able watch Derby be competitive in the league it is in. Score goals. Play some good looking football. Show passion for badge. 
The current structure of the premier and English football League is so utterly broken that's its untenable to compete in the top league without a billionaire backer who wants to use it as a vanity project. This is now impacting the second tier to the point where it's getting to be the same. You can't compete without rolling the dice and spending above your means. 
As many others have said. Football as we know it is dying. The European Super League will go ahead at some point in the future as soon as fans realize the league pyramid we love isn't a pyramid at all and relegation will only impact those clubs who aren't being funded by billionaires.

He will not be able to show his face in Derby ever again after this. Off to the Caribbean and never return you charlatan.

I'm not suggesting he is at fault, but it would be a legendary gesture.
 

I agree, but could he go on £500 a week so the groundsmen, tea ladies and office staff keep their jobs.
 

Respect and huge gratitude to every fan who will be there tomorrow. Let your voices be heard. Duck the EFL and duck Mel as well. 

Will we have a club to support in a year or two? I’m properly catastrophising right now ?

Just watched the highlights on Sky website. That ball from Bird for Jozwiak when he hit the post was ??

Difference is they have an owner who is a fan, but more than that he has been very responsible for a long time and clearly knows how to run a football club. 

Good result for Brentford, they certainly don't look out of their depth on that performance. 
Gotta feel more than a little envious watching them, they have definitely progressed their club during the last decade in a way I wish we had progressed ? 

Agreed. I thought he was really clever with his runs and thought he did everything right with the one on one. Keeper did well 

Hutchinson also looks an interesting player. Big tall lad, good with his feet, probably the kind of player that Brentford would turn into a proper asset and sell for £5-6m, but he leave us on a free in a season or two. ??

Stretton makes some great runs off the ball. Wonder if he’s got that ice in his veins required to become a regular goalscorer.

Thought Watson looked decent. Can see a pass and isn’t afraid to play it.
