    To be honest you should at least have to log in to the website or enter your email address to vote. Maybe even give a valid fan id.

    It would just sum the whole thing up if the EFL rejected his business plan because he formatted it in Times New Roman and they only accept business plans written in Comic Sans.

    Quantuma weren't at loggerheads with the EFL when they first came in, but came up against the same intransigence, inconsistencies and manipulation that Morris did.
    Add to that their pomposity and inability to prevent leaks, there's no wonder Quantuma stopped talking to them.

    Because they didn't have an owner who:
    directly challenged the EFL over a number of things, such as TV money, or who then subsequently embarrassed them with a somewhat out of the box (but not illegal) accounting policy, who further exacerbated poor feeling by his arrogant (I'm right) approach to business, such that the EFL saw it their purpose in life to do all they could to propagate the downfall of this club through
    inconsistent application of so called rules, retrospective changes to said rules when found wanting processing dealings in timeframes orchestrated to do as much damage to us as possible, applying maximum penalties and restrictions despite having discretion to be more lenient failing to discourage spurious and malicious claims from fellow members, revealing their lack of impartiality through the use of such phrases as "we are disappointed at the decision...." to name but one leaking (and probably encouraging) negative and detrimental information to press  All of which further fuelled the hate from fans who already bore us ill feeling.
    My one concern remains that L1 is still governed (I use that term loosely) by the EFL.  One can hope this really will be a fresh start for all.

    This ⬆️⬆️⬆️. What is done is done. MM has to live with what he’s done to the club he ‘supports’. Let’s resolve the stadium and move on that’s it. There’s hatred and vitriol towards MM, answering the other questions won’t change that. We as a fan base have been a class above throughout all this and long may that continue.

    I don't have a problem with the letter. It's to the point and simply addresses the one remaining elephant in the room: The stadium.
    I also don't see the point of raking over old ground with some of the questions you list. While I fully appreciate that you/we would like answers to many of these, what we need is a favour from the man. Risking antagonising him with historical and loaded/accusatory questions, rather than focussing on what needs to be done for the club to move forward, would be a mistake IMO.
    We just need him do do what needs to be done and we move on, leaving him behind for good.

    I know beggars can't be choosers but there are certain players I wouldn't want anywhere near my club; after how he behaved in the two games against QPR this season he is very high on that list. Even on TalkSport he comes across as a knob.

    All the very best for the coming season and beyond.I hope Rooney sticks by you with a decent owner on board he has a good a chance as anybody to get you back up.Your fans have been superb through this crap period.Things can change very quick in football and sometimes for the better, look at us in the so called best league in the world the Premier league for another season.Although my opinion of  the PL ( I’ve missed 2 games this season )is it’s the fatal attraction of clubs who risk everything to get to the tv cash when for us fans it’s a bland predictable bore fest unless you are a top 4 club the rest just make up the numbers.I won’t shed a tear when we eventually get back to the championship a far better and more competitive league to play in.Hope to be playing you at Pride Park again soon.

    Plange for £1m has been great business, especially when you consider he was released by Arsenal for nothing. He's shown some ability, but in comparison, he's earned us nearly as much as Liam Delap and Kaide Gordon.

    GB SPORTS reacted to Andicis in QPR vs Derby County matchday thread, Monday 18th April, 3pm   
    He wasn't much of a holding mid, granted. He was still an important part of one of, if not the best, midfields in the Championship for two years in 13/14 - 14/15 and was an excellent player here. To claim he wasn't good enough is hyperbole.

    GB SPORTS reacted to Bob The Badger in To those of you under 50, some good news   
    You’re going to be gutted this morning, and rightly so.
    But it ain’t all bad.
    When we dropped out of the old 2nd division into the 3rd in 1984 things were in many ways, worse.
    We didn’t (quite) have the financial issues, but we had a horrible team and the entire season was utterly depressing and devoid of hope in a way this season hasn’t been.
    My personal highlight of an utterly depressing season was meeting Dave Watson in a Little Chef on the A1 after we spanked Cambridge away 3-0 in the FA Cup. That was pretty much it for ducks sake.
    AND we had not just relegation, but the ignominy of losing to Plymouth in the FA Cup quarter-final to contend with after we had dragged them back to the BBG.
    We all thought that we’d bounce right back when we did get relegated and the arrival of Arthur Cox just emboldened that belief.
    An opening day away loss to Bournemouth, when Bournemouth then were more like the equivalent of Exeter now, didn’t dissuade us.
    Of course, we didn’t bounce back and ended up outside the top 6.
    But we had some BRILLIANT away days that season, Hull, Lincoln, and the last game of the season at Newport spring to mind.
    It was a whole lot more fun than the previous season because we were, for the most part, competing and you could see what Arthur was trying to do.
    There’s something fun about going to smaller clubs and taking the place over. Those of you who travel to away games know that the camaraderie is special.
    In fact, the adversity that we have faced this season has developed that camaraderie, only it’s done it at home.
    I work online and use social media a lot and the admiration for Derby’s support, especially those of you who travel away is a delight to read. I’ve even read genuine Forest and Leeds fans say they’re impressed.
    And what’s not to be impressed about?
    Forget the trolls who are loving this, the REAL football supporters appreciate and understand what Rooney has dragged the club through and the guy is universally respected, exponentially more so than when he was merely an excellent player.
    He’s now an excellent ex-player and an excellent human being. Time will tell if he can become an excellent manager, but the signs are promising.
    The second year under Arthur we did come up and that season was even better for road trips..
    I’ve seen Derby beat Benfica, Real Madrid, every top English club multiple times and Forest many times. But if I were to list the best 5 games I’ve ever attended, Derby at home to Rotherham in the old 3rd Division on a Friday night would be up there.
    That game with that penalty that took us back up to what would now be the Championship was a raucous, intense and then delirious atmosphere ending in an effing celebration comparable with any I have witnessed - although to be fair, my memory is a tad blurry because we did hit the pub hard.
    I doubt there was a Liverpool fan that got anything like the joy from beating Man City in the cup semi or will get more if they win the thing, than we Derby fans got from squeaking past Rotherham that night.
    The fact is, winning is just fun, no matter what division you are in. And beating adversity is fun too. So much more satisfying and enjoyable than just delivering on what’s expected.
    Somebody posted that they hope we're not that team that thinks they will bounce back up.
    I don't really care if fans think that. It's totally irrelevant.
    What is relevant is what WR thinks and what he allows his staff and players to think.
    And I have no doubt whatsoever that he'll not allow that entitled type of mindset to creep in.
    The good news is we have renewed hope for a stable club, a very promising manager in place, an Academy that is flourishing even if it is being pillaged and some wins to look forward to.
    We are where we are, so we may as well embrace it and have fun. And you will have some fun, I promise.
