Patrick Rams

Quite common in most clubs. The candidates all had suitable CV’s ... None of us were fundamentally opposed to any of the appointments at the time. We might have had a dislike of either Pearson’s 1970’s PE teacher mode or the razzmatazz of Lampard but they were all typical of football. We have had every variety with the exception of trying to recruit the sort of tough guy agricultural manager with a “proven record” (although Pearson might fit that bill) . where everyone would have moaned about the lack of ambition.
The transfer policy “errors” started with Bryson and Hughes being injured in the same match which lead to panic buying at inflated prices. At the time, these were seen as bold, supportive and positive moves. Your are eating hindsight by the KFC family bucket load.
The financial state of the club ? .. Mel filled it with money .. some spent well, some badly .. We haven’t had a fiscal mismanagement situation or anything “taken” from the club by Mel. We got in a mess on FFP and Mel coughed up by buying the stadium and paying the club money for it.
Sam Rush ? Is Mel really responsible for another man’s ethics ? ( or lack of them ? ) 
The fiasco ? .. Someone broke their pledges or didn’t meet their obligations .. it wasn’t Mel. Maybe Mel shouldn’t  have trusted them but good business and life is defined by trust. You have to start somewhere. Has anyone thought about Mel here ? He has obviously had some serious health issues yet he hasn’t flinched from being a DCFC man 
yes, for sure, be sceptical or wary of new owners, we all are, we care about our club, but Mel has been a straight shooter from day one. Some of the things he’s done or wanted to do didn’t work out but he is trustworthy beyond doubt . Now maybe those he has trusted are sharks .. but that’s a different story. 
 
I cannot believe how you have such a judgmental attitude to a guy who has given his best efforts and a shed load of money to this club. Your judgement is littered with an astounding lack of logical analysis. 

Mel's reasons for selling are his own but why on earth should we just 'trust mel' after we've had a failed takeover that lasted what felt like a lifetime because they couldn't come up with the money? 

Please tell me you're joking... the EFL's 'fit and proper' persons test basically led Bury to extinction and got Wigan into financial ruin. It's clearly  nowhere near sufficient enough to ensure proper custodianship of a club. 

Just be thankful it wasn't "most Leeds fans"!  There's a hell of a lot more of them!  

All 4 Derby goals that day were brilliant, I think 3 of them were in the Goal of the Month competition.

Teams very rarely play three games in a week, managers commentators pundits and even fans go on about playing three games in a week when they play Saturday Tuesday Saturday.There is only seven days in a week not eight. Rant over.

In 6 or 7 years' time we are going to be drawn against some non-league team or other in the FA cup and we'll see Kaide Gordon's name among their subs and say, ' Ooh look. remember all that wailing and gnashing of teeth when we lost him for peanuts all those years ago?'

He really did have something about him. Funny but I don’t wish him any ill  will. Managers come and go. I liked him. 

If, as you say, Frank knew how Chelsea and their owner operate, how can he have also have been naive?
I suspect he knew exactly what the likely outcome would be when he took the job, and a few more years of experience with Derby (or anywhere else) would not alter that outcome one jot - look at the calibre of managers they have hired and fired over the last decade.
When its your dream job you take it when it's offered. It might never have come round again.
He could have turned it down, stayed with Derby and seen his playing resources dry up (as has happened since the summer of 2019), in which case I doubt he'd have been in line for the job now.

It's almost fitting that Keogh be the man to bankrupt the club. 
Always got a bankruptcy in him. 

I'd rather bring clinton morrison out of retirement 

Absolutely not. He is proof that you can have all the talent in the world, but if your head isn't in the right place it doesn't matter. 
He has been given chance after chance and it hasn't worked anywhere. We should steer well clear. 

I can’t see them getting enough to beat our tally, I really can’t. 
That team has been playing well  and above their capabilities due to Wilders man management and innovative tactics in that first prem season but they have been well and truly sussed. 
 
They are relying on the likes of 34 year old David Mcgoldrick at times to rescue them and it ain’t gonna happen in a month of Sunday’s, the majority of their squad are top 6 championship and no higher. The likes of Bogle, Osborn, Burke, Mcgoldrick, Sharp, Mcburnie, Brewster, Lundstram  etc are nowhere near good enough to keep them in the Prem 

They are dead men walking and are as bad as our 11 point season
They now can’t even rally the call for big Sam to save them as he’s gone to West Brom
I fully expect them to go down with single figures, they’re that bad

Not that I'm aware of mate. I'd probably push people towards either the club directly or Waterstones/Smith's when it's out there in a few weeks. Jeff Bezos and Amazon are doing okay for themselves already! But to be frank, I absolutely didn't do any of this for money or anything. It's basically just a little project I picked up outside of work hours that escalated further than I ever expected ?

Ducking Sky talking about Ben White’s transfer to Leeds like it was a “big move”
Absolute bum-kissery of Leeds by Sky is astounding. 

You are right. No idea where I got 30 from ?‍♂️?‍♂️

Thanks for the info. Injury did for him. His midfield performance against QPR in the playoff final was simply superb. Feel very sorry for George.
