Not paying the taxes came long after Maguire sticking his beak in.

This really isn't the ground breaking information that he has dressed it up as and, anyone that paid attention to our situation, knew this was the case.
As for the 'other interested party' this guy does not really know anything that is not available in the public domain, as has been proven many times before, most recently when he was posting false information about DCFC and he skulked off this site when I pulled him up on it.
Still, guess that is not really the jist of your post, however, I like to point out what a charlatan Maguire is at any given opportunity 😂

We won't tell anyone that it's you!!!

Not my faf finger btw.

It's Mrs Badger's.

Thought I'd get that in before @Mucker1884 did.

Any Decision in the two legged European Cup v Juve, still can't abide the cheating barstewards to this day, safe to say if they were playing the gumps, I'd want the gumps to beat them.
As said previously the penalty against Rotherum in 86.

Sounds like the Bubbles price list, so @Van der MoodHoover told me.

Slightly more than Oldben 

I think you’re right in your first statements but the lack of long term planning and investment rather depends on having the cash. Which as a nation we don’t have anymore. This has little to do with the current crop of property people but much more to do with the fact that we don’t have industry that exports thus binging real money in to the economy. How we resolve that in the face of competition from outside the old western sphere, who don’t have our welfare systems tolerance or “kindness” I don’t know. 
 
Think this topic needs to go to the pub ?

generally all busy towns/cities that are diverse and multi-cultural are dumps.

It’s a universal problem. Every town and city I have visited in the last 20 years has similar issues. Over crowding, visible evidence of drug taking, waste management, the decline of retail choice and vibrancy caused by the internet age. Ludicrous parking regulations and costs. The loss of skilled jobs following de industrialisation. I suspect it’s similar in many European towns. All were once fuelled by the Wests old industrial prosperity that is no longer there. It’s a world change not a party political thing. Owners of vape shops and takeaways that drive bling filled 4x4’s from their “enterprises” 
The good bits being our lovely parks and gardens, DCFC and Potts on Babington lane. My adopted home has been good to me but I escaped to Belper last year where the biggest problem seems to be dead sheep seen in the weir and the woes surrounding the mill building. 

Firstly, this thread really shouldn’t be on the Derby County page. Can we move it please?
Secondly, they surveyed just short of 4,000 people. Not a bad sample size but how many of those actually stayed in Derby and also stayed in a number of the other towns and cities in order to contrast and compare? I’ve been to Bruges and might score it something like 8 out of 10. Someone else might have been to Vienna (I’ve never been to Vienna and they’ve never been to Bruges) and score it 9 out of 10. That doesn’t automatically mean Vienna is nicer than Bruges. Even asking the local residents is a bit of a waste of time. I think Tamworth town centre is a bit of a dump (not that I go in very often) which it is apart from the castle but I can’t say it’s worse than anywhere else - it’s the only town I’ve lived in for the past 30 odd years.
Finally, there doesn’t seem to be any scale for the ranking (as far as I can see). Maybe the margins are very narrow and therefore the rankings are misleading.

Not hard to spot the Which? members, is it?😉
Seriously, there's some major pearl-clutching going on with some people. I couldn't argue that the city centre hasn't been badly neglected in recent years (thank you, Austerity George) or that the City Council of whatever hue are responsible for some awful planning decisions since WW2, but to describe the place as "feral" is utter hyperbole. 
I still go out in the city centre at night both with mates and with the missus and the 'threat' is marginal compared to central London at midnight or somewhere like Canning Town any time of day.

Successive city councils have been guilty of gross incompetence for decades. Essentially, as a city it's become a good place.....to leave.

If he hadn't been loyal to us for 10 years, and fought back from a couple of serious injuries, almost everyone on here would think we should get rid of Craig Forsyth as he isn't what we need this coming season.

Paul Warne is a League One Neil Warnock. Great at that level, gets found out at a level above.
 

Alan Hinton?

That would be the bribed ref in our European Cup Semi final 1st leg v Juventus. All our players who were 1 booking from suspension got booked and couldn’t play the 2nd leg. Juventus allowed to get away with butchery as well. The 76 one a close second 

Any Decision in the two legged European Cup v Juve, still can't abide the cheating barstewards to this day, safe to say if they were playing the gumps, I'd want the gumps to beat them.
As said previously the penalty against Rotherum in 86.

We won't tell anyone that it's you!!!

I may have mentioned this before but we were filmed for ‘A Place in the Sun’ last June and have now been told of our airing date. 
 
It’ll be on Channel 4 at 3pm on Thursday June 6th and on catch up too of course. 
 
I realise this will mean me giving up my anonymity on here but though it might be of interest to any travel buffs out there!
