GB SPORTS

Astonishingly I'm not astonished when anyone is astonished nowadays - bloody snowfllakes are always looking for things to be offended about....

Surely he’s allowed an opinion on other clubs, particularly those that he has previous ties with. 
I like you would prefer to get our house in order, however SM having an option and voicing his opinion cant reflect on his role here. 

A crane required for the open top bus celebration? 

Never mind the fact that Leicester went into Admin and have never paid back their creditors and went up by breaking FFP. It’s all sweetness and light at the KP 

You mean as opposed to Mansour buying City or Abramovic buying Chelsea. Neither were exactly behemoths prior to their current owners taking over, were they?
Now the flip-side; Liverpool were priced at >£2 billion when last under offer and at that price, there's no great potential for ROI, least none that I can see. The only way is down. Would Tepper buy a club as a plaything, o do you suppose he might want to build the club and secure a return on investment?
Let's take emotion out of the equation for a moment; in the good times; we can sell over 30,000 tickets for games. Derby is effectively a one club City; we are a founder member of the football league who have twice topped the pile; we have a large and loyal fan-base and a comparatively rich footballing history.
Furthermore, I'd venture it is the very fact that we are in such a mess that makes us an attractive proposition. I struggle with the fact that so many fans are unable to grasp the notion that you buy stock when it's cheap, not when it's already peaked. Why one shitty season, when we've been challenging for promotion for nigh on 10 years now, is being taken as the only viable metric.
We know there are multiple bidders currently and this without the EFL charges being put to bed. Surely there's a clue there for those who choose to see it? I've very little doubt that a consortium that brings the financial wherewithal of Tepper and the commercial skills and experience of a man like Glick, would be able to steady the ship and put us on back on a road we were already treading until 18 months ago without too much bother. 

My what a day that was, Fun and games in the car park with the Mile End Boys ?

Stig of the dump

I bet this will have been mentioned a number of times but I’ll state the obvious.
MM wants to sell the club but under the current climate the club is not a good investment. Even if there was no pandemic the club isn’t a good investment but it is better with match day income. 
I’m not even sure I would want to buy it even if I won the Euromillions record jackpot. If fans were allowed back in and things returned to near normal then it would be easier to take on. I don’t think people are giving MM the credit he deserves by keeping the club afloat. 

I think you give people too much credit, it might be obvious to you but im sure some people must be capable of getting lost in their own back garden. With the diminishing amount of common sense in our population i could see it being utter carnage without these hero car park marshalls pointing them in the right direction.

I Heard that Mark Davis (co-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders) is looking to invest in an English football club and there is a possible link to Rooney as Davis is good mates with David Beckham. No definite signals and i am putting 2and2 and trying to make 4.

It's about time the young players were cut some slack - Buchanan, Bird and Knight are still only 20 and Sibley 19. You mention Hendrick and Hughes - we knew Will was a special talent, at least at Championship level - but they were 24 and 22 before getting their 'big' moves - who knows what level our youngsters will be at in 4 years time.
They have just had to endure a fight against relegation which would have tested the most seasoned professionals let alone those with very little experience - what a horrendous season in which to try and be fully integrated into the Clubs'senior squad.
One of the saving graces about having no fans in the ground is at least, with things going wrong, the boo boys are kept at bay.

For the billionth time, we cannot get one for this season or for the charge they are disputing.

For those not clicking the link, the headline is about Morgan Whittaker receiving online racial abuse following the game on Saturday. What is wrong with people? In the unlikely event the lad reads this forum, I hope he knows there are thousands of Rams fans wishing him well having come through the ranks at Derby, and only a handful of morons who are sad keyboard warriors and think it's somehow OK to send racial hate off into the ether. 

We have never lost 6 in a row at this level of football we have never scored so few goals at this level of football.
It’s just a freakish season with no fans. People are trying to fathom the unfathomable. Don’t bother just give it up to bad luck. It may change at the weekend it may not but this season just is what it is.
Rooney is just the unlucky bloke in charge.
 
 

Still would give us more than Lawrence even now

Which bit?  We were told by a lady journalist there were problems with the ‘consortium’. We were then told by a UAE journo (SBW podcast) that there was a big backer who had withdrawn. A very big backer. There were no other plausible reasons given for the deal collapsing albeit some wittering about EFl and secured loans. Just the usual chorus on here that the Fake Sheikh had no money and was kicking tyres 
 
we were also told the Oct heads of terms had no end date - ie MM had basically given the Sheikh an option and the ability to walk away if he (or the backer) changed their minds,  say for Covid reasons
so: if MM in Oct had said, sign here and deposit 30m and then we’ll speak to the EFL,  what happens  ? Answer: EITHER no deal. OR ... Mr Big is committed - and then so far as he is concerned he owns the club  And off we go  ...    
The stuff about the fake sheikh and tyre kicking is just silly. Henry was never going to sell Liverpool and got his investment bank (Allen &co) to reject the Sheikh’s proposal to avoid insult. Apparently. And my guess (just a guess) from what Ashley put on the record is that he tried to up the price at the 11th hour which was an insult to the Arabs  
MM’s October contracts were ducked up as was his contractual process. This allowed BZI to back out. MM was furious but it’s his lawyers and advisers he should be mad at. He got it right this time and we proceed with the Spanish pugilist  
what’s your version? One possibility is the Sheikh wanted to take MM’s ‘option to buy’ and shop it around, hoping he could raise the dosh from a yet-to-be-formed consortium.  More likely he had backers lined up. But he didn’t need to bind them contractually because he himself was not bound.
 I’m just reading the tea leaves and may be wrong. Certainly not itk except on the Liverpool bit 
 

I had the AZ and nothing. Didn't stop me faking exhaustion mind to get out of the chores for a few days..... ?

Weirdly, though due to other health issues i have to inject on a regular basis(no dodgy comments please) so i am used to injections both self administered and the big ones at the Docs but the  AZ vax floored me for two days, fortunately i am working from home at present so no days off BOO. 
 

Dedication.
 

People who press the button on zebra crossings and walk across before it changes.
Or press it when there’s only you on the road and can’t wait 30 secs.
Or press it when walking past for a laugh.
or press the ones where they’re part of a large junction when it’s quite safe to cross as we’re all sat at a red and now have to wait longer for you to cross.
(I understand children need to be safe, and them holding me up is fine)
But not bloody adults or even worse CYCLISTS!
don’t start me on the weekend LoonyLycra brigade! ?

Happy Birthday. Although you probably don't do happy, so have an acceptable day.?

Was at that game and sat on the other side of the cricket pitch, my old man got into an argument with a drunken Sheff U fan, who seeing our colours made out that we were the worst side he'd seen all season!!!
Hmmm.
