I know that we shouldn't care so much, but genuinely believe that the EFL, Steve Gibson et al. may well be playing with people's lives now. Unlike many I don't blame either for the mess than DCFC are in - that's down solely to Mel Morris BUT the aforementioned will I fear, by their actions cause severe problems to many, even to the point of the worst conceivable outcome.
Yes its only football but to many thousands its their life.
To those that harbour such feelings seek help and support from those you trust.
To those of you who have it within your gift to prevent real human suffering, (if any of you are reading this, which you won't be!!) think about the consequences of your greed and act accordingly!!
 

I assume this basically means any gardening leave period is over / any contractual restraints related to DCFC are now no longer applicable.
It didn't work out for him, but i've nothing but respect for the guy and I hope he has a successful time coaching back in Holland.

Let's not forget the whole point of this forum is about providing a canvas for our opinions - we all have our own experiences, we all have our own lives, we're all different and this all results in all having our own opinions. 
So the OP was making his own opinion on how things look, you've responded with your opinion - they differ.  What I always have issue with (and yes, this is my opinion hence a strong desire to comment on the post) is that because someone disagrees, why should this then elicit a more personal attack from them - I don't think that's right or fair,  especially where retorts are clearly personal and don't look at the big picture: it's not about MEplc. 
To elaborate:
Comment: Where are these minutes from the meeting? After they were submitted back to the club we haven't heard a single thing. See above comments about stupid requests
I thought this was a reasonable statement personally - again my opinion. Why the duck hold the meeting with a select few but then hobble everyone so no-one can say anything.  Absolutely pointless, so to question it is valid I think and is in no way stupid. 
Comment: It's an absolute shambles. In your opinion
Nowt wrong with this - perfect response where you clearly disagree although obviously felt strongly enough to call it out BUT...
Comment: I've seen people respond to this charge be saying the EFL have it in for us. Yes they do
Is your opinion that they do have it in for us, perhaps no different to calling out the "absolute shambles" statement, i.e. an opinion?
Comment: No ticket office all tickets available online
Maybe so but does it work well? Is everyone able to afford the time, or have the technical skills to do this? Factually I think this is no hence the statement was fair
Comment: no mascots, really you are whining about this!!!!
It's important to some, if not you and is a statement of fact.  All teams have mascots so it's factually just one more thing the club is curtailing which will upset one element of the fanbase.
Comment: no roadrider so you can't organise your own transport
As I said at the top, big picture here.  Kids? Non-drivers? Disabled? Drivers who aren't confident to travel on their own? Pretty insular I'd suggest....obviously in my opinion! 
Comment: no communication see multiple comments above I assume when you play poker you show all the other players your hand
I don't think anyone's asking Mel to tell us everything, none of us expect that, maybe just some of what he told a select few and then told them to shut up. Or maybe just a statement of empathy and reassurance to long suffering fans. I don't see that as unfair.
Comment: I love this club. But right now I hate everything that it has become. There is always a team the other end of the A52 you can support
A bit flippant? Why would someone support the dogs who's just declared their love of the club. When you add up everything we are seeing, and being told (or not as the case may be) I'd suggest a lot of us (me included) have a lot to hate about what the club is seemingly doing right now.  Are you telling me that you're happy with where we are and everything you're seeing? If so, I take my hat off to you.  We can only cast an opinion based on what we see - constant embargoes, missed payments, no communication or explanation - nothing that supports a view of positivism about how the club is being run. 
Apologies I've rambled - I usually just smile at such posts, and leave it to other, more thick skinned members to comment, but I guess this time I felt like diving in.  Maybe just getting a speeding ticket has put me in that frame of mind!

Let's be honest between all the crap Derby fans put up with its hardly a surprise and I wouldn't blame them , the price for a season ticket is just not worth what we witness on the field , and then they added a none disclosure onto a meeting that was to give fans information,  sad times and very poor club management 

If Jozwiak is so rubbish, why did Poland play him at the EUROs ahead of players playing in Serie A, La Liga and the Bundesliga?

OUT
Marshall
McDonald
Forsyth
Knight
Bird
Shinnie
Hutchinson
Brown
Jozwiak

Where will Morris be on yours? DCFC's death by a 1000 cuts is down to him.

We shouldn’t sell Sibley because potentially he can be something special, young lads are going to make mistakes, on Tuesday I think it was Morrison who had a right go at Sibley because of him losing the ball stupidly and Salford were about to break big time on us, which could have finished us off in the game.
  I don’t know if he has been told he can leave, but hopefully Rooney can nurture his talent at our club.

I'd rather Mel spent 100% of his efforts in sorting out the mess with the EFL and selling the club, than got sidetracked sacking managers.
What happened to getting behind the players and staff until that happens?

Got to smile. I think it might be quite courteous to pay up the last management team before we sack the current lot.
In Mel we trust.

I'm not sure you can blame the club for this.
As has been the case for many years, we have a small minority of fans who are racist, homophobic, sexist, ageist, disablist, foul-mouthed - you name it.
However, we are now in the best position we have ever been in with the club encouraging us to report the offenders and they will act on this. These aren't Twitter keyboard warriors,  these are real people with a ticket record. I understand the club are already aware and taking action on today's abuse.
One 'fan' is one too many. Do what I do, report it. 

I seem to remember, although I've been watching so long my memory has gone, that we are often notoriously slow starters to a season.
Is it a recent thing, or not a thing at all?

I am pround of young rams kepted fighting to bitter end delighted for jack stration fact he scored 1st goal for Derby county but just could not hang on to the lead. But I hope Richard's is not to serious one. He looked like he was crying I saw his flew hand to the ground. But us the fans were fanstic once again.

No. 

This is a big season for Max Bird , a chance to nail down a place in the first eleven and work towards becoming a future Derby County captain , he has all the tools in his locker to make a success of his career and hopefully the Premier League with the Rams , i for one think Max will grow in stature this season and some fans will realise what a good footballer Max is

That's not about technical ability - That's about effectiveness
There's a whole thread for talking about Jozwiak - Most of which is the same few people having a pop at him - I think people are just saying why not talk about Ebosele in here and Jozwiak over there?
But for me:
The lad is 23 - Moved to a new country where he doesn't speak the language well - Trying to settle into a bottom 3 side and a relegation battle when he'd been signed as a player to help us challenge for the top end - Went through a change of manager and (arguably) two changes of playing style - Alongside his best mate and key link up player getting a horrific injury (for the 2nd time in 2 years) - Oh and on top of that it was all during a period where the entire country went into lockdown and he had to try and settle in a new place isolated from everyone he knows, unable to even visit home or have any friends/relative visit him
Given all that it's not a massive shock that he's taken a bit of time to settle

Why does everyone hate him ? thought he was class tonight. Made some lovely passes and nice dribbles in tight areas. He created the space for our first goal aswell. Give the lad some slack 

@B4ev6is, Alfreton Supporters Club do a bus to all away games that picks up outside Pride Park. I will send you a PM about how to get in touch. 
They still had places for both Peterborough and Hull two days ago, so I think they would be ideal for you. They're a good gang too!

The ‘let’s get behind the players’ lasted long for some ?????

If anyone wants anyone to be sold right now, you must be insane. We're going to struggle to put a team out in just a few weeks. Every player counts.

Sibbo, with the right type of manager would be an unbelievable player. 
 
The one thing this lad does is play without any fear whatsoever and for somebody of his age, is very rare. 
 
He still has a lot to learn but he’d be one of the first on the team sheet if the majority of Derby fans were picking the team. 

Cheers for the explanation Wayne 

Couldn't agree more either. 
This is not a criticism of David. He's going what he thinks is right. 
I am to be told I am wrong. But if at the meeting Mel has answered questions he can answer and then refused to answer anything he can't. Then I'm not sure why the minutes need to he submitted back to the club for them to check on what he can and cannot say?
But either way. I think we've all established that the meeting was to please the EFL.
If Mel honestly cared about the supporters he would have spoke to all of us either on Radio Derby or a recorded interview with RamsTV.
But why should we be surprised? Mel Morris took over this club after we lost to QPR. 
He thought this would be easy enough. Get us up in 3 years. No problem. 
Being a successful businessman is one thing, being a football club owner is another. 
Everything he has done is wrong.
We have gone from being a well run club, getting 27-30k every week.
To a club who has started the season with-
A bench full of academy players.
Fans that don't know if a player can come on the pitch or not because it might take up a space!
No season tickets
No ticket office, no way to get through by phone. Only way is to hope it works online and that you've got a printer at home (which I imagine a lot of people don't) this would have had a massive impact on the crowd on Saturday. I know people that couldnt get it to work and never got a response to emails sent. I mean I had to register with a different email and start again to get my tickets to go through.
A club that fans look at and say we deserve it.
He criticizes the fact we've don't have enough academy players coming through. But sells Gordon and Delap for peanuts. (£1.5 million for Delap is criminal) all it takes is for a player like Delap to come through the academy 18/19 and have a good season or 2 of 15-20 goals and you're talking 20 million. (Look at Adam Armstrong. They're talking 20 million for him after one good season)
Happily sanctions signing a player like Scott Malone for £3.5 million and block the path of Lowe and Buchanan. Rather than a loan to cover until they are ready.
When you look at where we were to where we are now. 
He has absolute ruined this football club.
And the fact that he doesn't have the decency to even acknowledge the whole supporter base sums the bloke up.
