Think you might be sorely disappointed when we’re hit with a 21 point deduction in a couple of weeks 👀

Thought there wasn’t enough pessimism around this place. All these posters are new to the negative game, I’ve been around for years!

The first and last time this season we will be in the top half

Still better than Rooney

6 point deduction next season. Same as the Wendies

This all over. Keogh is an absolute bamford no doubt, but when are we going to admit as fans that our club is a circus? Can’t keep blaming the EFL, this is Mel’s mess.

That’s not what I’m trying to claim at all. All I’m saying is I’ve always had some concerns about him, rather than it just being born out of recent events like G Star seemed to be insinuating. Not trying to claim ITK or anything like that because I’m not. The only piece of genuine reliable ITK I’ve ever had is someone told me the kit release date a couple of years back!

15 actually, I wasn’t entirely braindead (well not much more than I am now anyway!) Just wasn’t sure he was going to run it sensibly is all, not trying to saw I foresaw all of this!

Ffs Erik, not again!

Got a migraine from reading that club statement😂 Are we ducked or are we really ducked?

It’s about what comes next though. The damage done over those 6 years could be irreparable, I’d much rather have stuck with GSE if so. We made the PO final without Mel.

I’ve always had my doubts about Mel, right from the moment he bought the club, even if I didn’t explicitly state it on here. Heard a few things about him that made me very wary of him, wanted to give him a chance but I fear my initial concerns are being proven correct, and then some. This is worse than I could possibly have ever imagined.

Blimey, have you only just worked out that Mel is incompetent?! We’ve had 6 years of evidence!

Will Hughes, he showed how football is meant to be played. Truly wonderful player

Exactly the response I was expecting. Being in the same division doesn’t mean you’re in the same position as a club. And I’m sure you know that, it’s a baalocks argument. Where did I say I didn’t want him to invest? That’s what we want from any owner. But we want wise investment that doesn’t put the club in danger. It’s not hard to see the difference. He’s the owner of the club, he has to take ultimate responsibility for everything that happens within it. The recruitment has been woeful for years, he could have taken action to improve the scouting network and appoint a proper DOF. He hasn’t paid enough attention to it. As for takeovers, I just want our current owner, a self proclaimed Derby fan, to keep the club alive until he can find someone to sell to with genuine intentions, rather than a bunch of potentially dangerous chancers. That too much to ask, really? I maintain that if Mel wasn’t from Derby and was just some foreign investor there would be absolute outcry at the way he’s run the club. He gets away with it because he seems like a likeable bloke.
