Kieran Maguire isn’t an expert. He’s repeatedly had it in for Derby and grassed us up to the EFL.

I was present for the first 2 I think supporters charter meetings as the idea was being setup, but through ill health and distance I never attended future meetings. 
The minutes of the meetings will confirm this. 
I surveyed the forum for questions to put forward and posted the meeting minutes once they were provided.
As for my opinion, it’s been a difficult season both on and off the pitch, we have an owner in ill health, takeovers, EFL appeal and a global pandemic to deal with.
Whilst I would love to know what is going on with regular updates, I would imagine hands are tied in what they can publicly discuss, and let’s be honest, when they do come out and talk it’s dismissed as PR spin.
I feel they have always been in a damned if they do, damned if they don’t situation.
To address this here as I know it’s been asked in various online platforms, I haven’t spoken with anyone from the club aside from the marketing team with regards to the adverts displayed on this forum.
I do understand your concerns, but aside from the deleted Collymore tweet, I haven’t seen any credible source to suggest the existence of this club is in threat, so was a little puzzled by the talk of protests if I’m totally honest.  
I have been away for the last week and enjoyed some time offline and away from social media, so apologies if I’ve missed anything more. Taking time to catch up now, but there’s a lot of posts!
At this stage I’m willing to remain patient, not freak out at every Daily Mail headline such as this mornings given their success rate on us recently (21 point deductions).
The next couple of months are huge for this club, don’t get me wrong, and I’m not sticking my head in the sand, I just feel that the club face a number of issues that need resolving and will take longer than 48hrs after the final ball was kicked.
Finally, the last 12 months have shown that football is nothing without fans, I’m hoping the communication level with fans is restored to what they were as soon as possible, with the stadiums look set to reopen, fans need to know the clubs plans going forward before parting with any money.
You look at some of this clubs that were to join the ESL, having never heard or very little communication with their owners, we have almost been spoilt in years gone by in comparison, but that’s how it should be, I hope the club are aware of how important the fans are to this club and as I say, look to reopen those lines of communication as soon as possible.

Completely depends on your definition of what a "basket case" club is, @Ellafella?
I think a club that has cycled through as many managers as we have under Mel, been involved in so many controversies that we see the Corner Flag Tweet more than we see wins, numerous financial issues such as payers not being paid on time and transfer embargo(s), battles with the EFL over and over again (and still going!), drink driving dramas, captains being sacked, games called off for "snow", nearly selling the club to one, two, three different shady buyers...how many reasons do you need? 
If I'm honest, calling us a basket case club is probably going pretty lightly. 

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

I’m not a MM fan but what that really shows is that his tenure has been considerably more successful until the final year.
 

Alonso clearly doesn't have proof of funds, or the deposit required to satisfy the EFL. Bin him. Move on.

Anyone not in league 1 team of the year you think we should sign? (Good suggestions though)

One for the fan club:
