    I'm definitely blaming Mel Morris

    Turnstile reacted to TheAllestreeRam in Please don’t blame Morris and Pearce.   
    I appreciate that is what he has tried to do, but he has failed with that miserably. We used almost no acumen in the market and spent like crazy to try and compete. We have been leap frogged by most of the clubs in the league who dont have parachute payments despite spending more than them and they havent had to play with their accounting.  
    Its sad to see because Mel does care... he and pearce are just not very good at running a football club unfortunately.

    They're not goodies either, I don't care about them, but i just wouldn't cast them as being anything other than incidental and any club in thire position would adopt this approach. I just think Wycombe aren't the people to be having a go at - if it was wednesday or rotherham who could potentially benefit, it would be them screaming. That's just a reality.
    Also, Wycombe can't appeal anything between the EFL and DCFC in this case, they are not a party to the dispute.

    I mean there’s literally a set a rules set out for a clubs to follow, the fact that we’ve gone off piste was the decision of the hierarchy. The never ending, drawn out process you blame the EFL for but Morris and Pearce must shoulder the majority for me.

    Or because the Derby County ownership are a bunch of inept idiots who couldn’t organise a *** up in a brewery.

    Turnstile reacted to JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta in EFL Verdict   
    So to be clear on what's happened here, we have been given a fine and asked to resubmit our accounts. Fair enough.
    The EFL have taken it upon themselves to cause an absolute meltdown by releasing two fixture lists. Just poo stirring at this point? Absolutely pathetic.

    Please don't blame Mel and Pearce? Seriously?
    The sooner these two are out the door, the better. Road us to ruin.

    His exclusion is understandable. You cannot continue to be so totally abject and embarrassing at taking free kicks for there not to be consequences. More one footed than Heather Mills.

    Turnstile reacted to i-Ram in EFL appeal   
    If Stoke can offset some of their losses for FFP purposes by saying that a disease of the chest and lungs has caused financial impairment can we not argue that we have incurred signignificant losses over recent years because of disease of the urethra. Just look at the number of ‘piss poor’ players we have bought in the last 5 years.

    Turnstile reacted to Carl Sagan in Shay Given   
    We've had problems in the goalkeeping department for the whole time Given has been with us. Of course Eric Steele was excellent, as was Zuby. Yes we had a brief spell when we became dangerous at set pieces, but then we stopped that for unfathomable reasons. I appreciated his loyalty when Frank and Jody buggered off, but at the same time I was hoping he'd have gone with them.

    Christ how far have we fell when we want a 31 year old back on the wing , jesus he wasnt even a proper winger , we just shoved him there , was actually a striker . But he was just workmanlike at best , he is now 31 blimey come on wake up .

    Turnstile reacted to Ambitious in Kaide Gordon   
    Trying to develop as a footballer, in a team that is complete devoid of quality, under a owner who is trying to sell the club to anyone who will take the financial burden off him, also under a very inexperienced coaching staff regardless of their status as a footballer previously to training with Liverpool's first team, under one of the top 5 coaches in the world who has developed a catalogue of players to the highest levels of the game. I would say that it's a very good move for him. 
    It's not a race to the first team, it's about how you can develop the fundamentals that can carry you to the highest point of the football pyramid. Not forgetting we had one of the most naturally gifted young players that this country has had in decades and couldn't develop him beyond a 'good Championship midfielder' in Will Hughes. If you would've told me 9-10 years ago, when he first came into the first team that he would be playing at the same level at 25 then I would've scoffed. 
    We seem to be very good at developing academy players into the first team, but not many really ever progress any further.

    Turnstile reacted to i-Ram in Rams Trust: A Letter to the Club   
    They are a splinter faction of the Derby fanbase. Their modus operandi is to tie the limbs of a Ram together tightly and roughly with rope to prevent them from moving or escaping and to then inflict their views on them.
  19. Haha
    Turnstile reacted to Alty_Ram in The Pitch   
    It wasn't necessary really but apparently there were some very specific areas of wear, particularly at the back post where opposition strikers have been standing around unchallenged all year.

    The price of a business is all to do with profit and turnover. Burnley, at the moment, have a massive turnover compared to ours and are guaranteed to have for thee years due to parachute payments. The new owners could asset strip and take the TV money and earn more than they spent buying Burnley. Not possible at Derby.

    Turnstile got a reaction from angieram in Can we assume MM is a rich man   
    Yes he’s a rich man and good luck to him.Is he rich enough to run a football club as the sole investor? NO.look at some of the other “sole investors” Phil Davies ,Elliot Short,Jack Walker,Sir Jack Hayward.Eventually they or their families said enough is enough and cut ties with football.why would anyone in their right mind blow all their money on a football club? Obscene players wages plus perks and agents fees have ruined football.I don’t blame MM for trying to sell.

    Turnstile reacted to Comrade 86 in Can we assume MM is a rich man   
    You're missing the point buddy. I'd like to think he could bail us out too, but such actions are counterintuitive to the types of individual who amass great wealth in the fist place. It also speaks to abject failure and that might be a tougher pill to swallow than the financial kick to the nads.

    I think Laurel and Hardy would have been brilliant as our new owners. They’d have brought a sense of normality to the football club.
