Don’t be daft nothing could survive that long unless it was covered in bandages

Insert obvious “he’s a Defence Secretary” / “can he finally sort out our zonal marking” joke .. ! 

Or the FA have contributed for the euro’s being played on it ?

That's Mel's P.A.
Known within the club as Miss Haps.
 

Yes, but we’ve still managed to make one play off final and two play off semis since Mel took over.
Football is a game of incredibly fine margins. If Bryson had got on the end of that cross against Hull, we might have gone up in Mel’s first season. If Roos had caught the ball at Wembley, we might have gone up slightly later than planned.
As it happens, those things didn’t happen, and we’re left in 21st place and worried about our club’s future.
Mel has made some terrible mistakes, and his last act might well be to sell us to someone who destroys the club. His tenure has undoubtedly been a failure.
But if one or two tiny things had happened differently, he’d have been a club legend.
Such is football eh?

It’s a beautiful crest though isn’t it. Iconic. As bad as things are now and as polarised and divisive as fans might be, the good times will return. Admittedly we will probably be dead by then but still..
As for nothing to cheer us up or make us proud, I disagree. Curtis Davies. Let’s make him what this club represents rather than Alonso, Keogh, Pearce, Morris or Billy Caskey. 
 
We are Derby. Super Derby. Super Rams. 

I understand your sentiment but please don’t forget the fans. We ARE the football club. I remember Clough on ITV, speaking in front of fans protesting against Maxwell, saying that we would be here long after Maxwell was gone. He was right.
Maxwell, Morris, Keogh, Glenn Skivington...we have and will see them all off and will be left standing. We are Derby. We are here because we care and all the mud and poo being thrown at us from all sides can slide off as far as I am concerned because, as much as I dislike it at the moment, I am bonded to and love this football club. So Gibson, EFL, bitter Leeds fans and the twitterati can all sod off. 

Of course he is. How dare he post footage of MoodHoover Towers claiming it as his own! 
?

When we was near the top of the form table, this is the McClaren effect.
When we’re losing, what would McClaren do with this team.
Couldn’t have seen this coming from a mile off, not at all.

Same here. Been to four of them. Life goes on and I'll still be there next year whichever league we're in.

I TRUST Wayne Rooney. He is Derby County Football Club.
I TRUST Joel. He is Derby County Football Club.
I TRUST Derby County Football Club. My Football Club.
At a time when our club needs us supporters the most, at a time especially, supporting them for supporting us in our community.
D.C.F.C. Love, Life & Unity.

Had a couple of shirts made up using standard Umbro team apparel to mark the achievements of Clough & Taylor and also Dave Mackay, mainly to add a chapter into the book the colours of the Rams if the club and Umbro don’t do something.
we used the basic template matching the 1971/72 shirt and the style of the charity shield shirt badge, on the second shirt we went for the blue and white and the Umbro tapes on the cuffs, both finished off with the blood red no 10 as a nod to the king, also used the Derby County font for the wording.
the cost of these shirts from Umbro was £11.
we then added our design, can’t sell them due obviously to copyright infringement but would be nice if the club could do something similar.

I'd just love to see us play in the Champ one day.

The ball from the 1968 league cup replay v Chelsea, the match that got the Clough & Taylor journey well under way !

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. 

Deporting immigrants who break the law is a standard approach in many countries.
Angela Merkel recently voted against same-sex marriage in the German Parliament, where the ruling party are her Christian Democrats and therefore religiously influenced conservatives. 
In my experience it's standard for anyone on the left to label anyone who disagrees with them "far right". It's the nature of the polarized societies we live in, driven in large part by social media algorithms. 
I'll judge him as I find him.

I lost the stadium once.
mind I'd had several pints in Jorrocks, The Tap, The Alex, Brunny, and the Merry Widows beforehand.

Yup, Cocu out.

Witchcraft! 
What is this "cross" of which you speak? 
 
?

Yeah he still hasn't got a new club but what's he got to do with our relegation fight?

To be fair he's probably lost a bit of his sharpness these days. In fairness he's probably in decent shape from all those years delivering the mail though and he's still likely to be quicker than Chris Martin. I agree that would struggle to match his Post Office pension in our current state.
