    They will do whatever the EFL need to do to bring DCFC to task. If we have indeed failed these regulations then we have no grounds for complaints. However if we are indeed compliant then we need to seek legal representation and take these imbeciles to task. 
    Don’t know about the rest of you but I am sick to death of this pantomime being played out, Particularly when we are being treated like mushrooms ???

    I declined a ST refund and continued to pay my direct debit all the way through but still haven’t been this season.
    The club only has its self to blame, I will be going Saturday but if I am honest not really that bothered.
    Why do I feel like this? A number of reasons I guess which I would imagine are fairly standard across the board.
    I’ve kept my money in the club but don’t feel valued still, the communication has been poor. Ringing in to ask questions was dreadful, literally getting cut off so far down the line, that actually makes you feel like the clubs going bust in itself.
    I do know a few people inside the club, they say it’s a mess and has been for some time, whilst they don’t know major details or inside news they also feel undervalued.
    MM’s battle with the EFL has ruined us, he’s let his emotions get in the way of business and now we are paying for it.
    For the previous talk of the club being at the heart of the community it certainly feels very broken right now. 
     
    Managerial decisions have cost us badly, Cocu being the worst for me, it was THE time to forget promotion and get a man in to build. Get players from lower levels and really be cost effective with lowered expectations and just be honest with the fans.
    I may request a refund in all honesty as my desire has gone, we pay our money and we expect a well run club in return. Even the accounting situation as it stands makes me feel more pain is coming and then I can see very dark days returning as people will walk away. 
     
    If you are a fan who wants to carry on and go each week good for you, I may join you I may not but for those that don’t is does not mean they don’t love the badge any less, the relationship just needs a bit more time to repair before we go back.

    Byrne    Davies.       Jagielka.    Forsyth
                    Shinnie    Morrison
                              Sibley
    ebosele.           Stretton         Lawrence
                          
    One of my best mates is a Hull fan thinks they are going to come flying at us as its the only way the know how to play. I can’t see us keeping a clean sheet so lets go and try to score a few and back ourselves to beat them on our terms rather than trying to match the opposition for once.

    I don't go to games to be honest, living over a 100 miles away and with no-one around me to go with, plus work/family commitments, it's just not really doable. I do however fervently follow DCFC daily, through this forum, online and watch every televised game. I also catch some of the U23 games.  
    I do have a Rams Lite membership, if not to at least give the club some coffers.  Have I lost interest?  Nah.  Have I lost confidence and feel beaten down by the club I've supported for 45 years. Yes.  Maybe COVID hasn't helped but every time I open this forum, Twitter, Face Book, NewsNow or anything else, I do so expecting yet another problem and generally aren't disappointed.  At the moment it's just one thing after another.  I was so pleased to see Stretton score the other day, thinking and hoping that, do you know what, 4 points in our first two games would be great.  But no.  This is Derby - we not only lose, but CKR is crocked for 3 months. And we then sign a CB who's almost as old as me, and a striker whose goal scoring record can be counted on the hands of a T-Rex. I guess it's a sign of where we're at as a club.
    One day soon, I hope,  I'll only see positive news but right now, supporting this great club of ours is hard on my soul. Melodramatic maybe, but having faced so much personally over the past 20 months, I could really do with us getting a break!  However, I'll keep smiling {through gritted teeth} ?

    No,they all deserve it i.m.o.
    Rooney had been let down by his bosses but he took on a job he isn't qualified or suited to at this stage of his career and he seems unable to learn from his mistakes whilst managing and coaching which is even more to our detriment.
    His worst aspect however is his misguided self belief and he won't admit it's too big a job for him and walk away.

    I understand your sentiments made after a close run win against a lower league Salford side but let's keep our feet on the ground here.
    Wayne,as far as we are aware,has no other club to go to,we are his only "upper" league option.
    To move onto a more prestigious side he's going to need to show he can both manage a football club and then get results from them with the resources he has available.
    If he achieves that (and he has a long way to go) and he starts to attract interest from other clubs,then we will see the extent of his loyalty to the club.
    And I'd be astonished if he didn't say he wanted to do well,I should bloody well hope so if he's taken on a football club as manager.
    Now,hopefully Wayne is starting to learn from last season and will indeed succeed but it's too early to profess him as the new messiah just yet...lets judge him by his results in the league and the tactics and style of play he then employs.

    So, when all said and done, the meeting was a total waste of time with no information coming from It at all. 
    as far as I can see all It has done is further more alienate an already alienated fan base and actually drive even more wedges between them. 
     
    Nice one Derby.

    Saying to someone that you are a better supporter is the most crass thing you can say, other than telling them to go support forest.

    Would that actually be a bad thing? Even if he was just as bad as Rooney, at least he's likeable, which would get more fans behind the team.

    CROSSWORD reacted to Chester40 in Wayne Rooney   
    What really annoys me most - about Wayne and those in a hurry to stick up for him - is the complete double standards. 
    'Oh poor Wayne, if it wasn't him no one would be interested, it's a non-story' etc etc. 
    What a pile of rubbish. He ONLY has the job in the first place because he's Wayne Rooney. He only got the massively inflated player's wage because he's Wayne Rooney. He only got taken on as a coach because he's Wayne Rooney...or got away with disappearing on other ventures or having to self isolate because he's Wayne Rooney. 
    He only got the manager's job and survived the season because he's Wayne Rooney...no other criteria would justify him being manager and getting the platform after the end of season we had, to talk about getting support from the club and them acting with a bit more dignity. To then go and shoot himself in the foot and seem to claim its victimisation because of who he is, really shows no self-awareness of any sort.

    I'm not at all,I'm being realistic.
    My only issue with Wayne previously was my view that the football he was producing was poor and wasn't improving.
    His shenanigans on Sunday morning are disappointing in that whilst not totally unexpected from him with his previous behaviour,I expected more from him now that he is manager of our club and we didn't need any more bad publicity which looks like it will be ongoing.
    As I said in a previous post,if he does stay he needs to knuckle down and show he had what it takes to run this club.
    If he can then all is well and good but it's been a ongoing disaster up to now which is why I'm sceptical.
