Slaapwekkend P

Well, James Daly MP (Bury) has broken new ground for me today... a Tory I actually respect. Well said ?

Bury MP ramming the point home. Well said my friend. Firmly said EFL found wanting in case of Bury and looking like the same is happening…

30k profit 

A rush GK would be great to see.

Great post. With a few tweaks, you should email as an open letter to the EFL and national newspapers. 
 

It's just reached the point of pure embarrassment, from Boro, Wycombe and the EFL.
All those rival fans that are finding joy in all this when they could easily be next, wake up.
The game is littered with utter BS, we tried to find a different way with amortisation to compete with those awarded millions for failure, which the EFL retrospectively on Gibson's request found us guilty. 
Naughty Derby, grow up.
Rules have been retrospectively added to cover the EFL arses. Google enhanced embargo, see what comes up, Derby County, there was never a enhanced embargo before all this, it's something you came up with as Mel Morris publicly challenged you.
Meanwhile we have state owned clubs when sponsorships for official hotels, soaps and rubber ducks for 10x what they could buy this club for in the Premier League.
Do you not even realise how anti competitive the league that's responsible for your revenue is, do you not realise that the very existence of the Championship relies on multi millionaires prepared to be losing upwards of half a million a month, it's not sustainable even by your own rules.
Derby County reject a bid for their player which could be derisory, yet the EFL are on our case, are we in the position now where we have to sell Jason Knight for a fiver to keep Rick Parry happy, if that's the case then just end the game now.
We lost Kaide Gordon to Liverpool for a bag of monster munch and Freddo over that deal you agreed with the PL, how is that looking after your member clubs when they have to gift wrap the young stars that have been educated both on an off the field to satisfy the greed of the top 6 in this country.
Explain the benefit of that deal to your member clubs, please explain as from the fans that love the game, all we see is our clubs being screwed over.
Out of 2 play off finals which we were beaten, we were beaten by clubs that would have failed EFL FFP, we took it on the chin yet here we are, one club using bookies odds to build a case and another that didn't even earn promotion on merit jeopardising the existence of this club.
Meanwhile the MSM are far more interested in the likes of Man United and Newcastle to even realise what is going on outside the gold pit. The game is dying whilst the "journalists" are far more interested in finding the next tweet to create a clickbait article than actually do their jobs.
Nobody wants to touch it, why? We have a Serbian tennis player refused entry to a country and tournament, everyone, every journalist in sport is weighing in as we're sat here in limbo over let's not forget, retrospective punishment.
The EFL signed off our accounts that we have now been punished for, let that sink in.
I'm sick of it, sick of the rival fans looking to take the piss without understanding the situation, sick of the incompetent governing bodies, sick of Gibson and that Wycombe numpty.
We've rolled over, accepted the retrospective punishment, saved the EFL embarrassment of explaining themselves in court, yet the EFL are too gutless to tell the curly haired one to shut up as they are in fear of landing themselves in court over the utter shambolic way they have ran this league.
Grow some balls Rick, accept some responsibility over how the investigations were handled and do the right thing, tell Gibson to F off, tell Wycombe to F off and learn from your mistakes.

Imagine he’s sent a sealed bid

Without getting off the train...

I don’t think there is any chance that we’ll go into liquidation… but then I:
* Never thought we would have broken FFP rules;
* Never thought we’d go into Administration;
* Never thought we’d have 21 points taken off us;
* Never thought Mel was a wrong ‘un having defended him from pillar to post;
* Never thought we’d need to sell the ground;
* Always thought the powers that he knew why they were doing and believed what they were telling us…
So, perhaps I’m not the best judge!

Can we all counter sue him for defamation, being from Derby I feel deeply hurt he’s calling me a schemer and it’s greatly impacted on my life, I don’t dare leave the house… 

Im mid fourties, iv had 4 exposures to covid (x3 jabs,x1 illness) i consider myself pretty fit and healthy given my age and think id be fine with it if i caught it again
however i know that i can still be a carrier of it, i work with general public and so my exposure to it is quite high so theres a good chamce i could be carrying it at any given time so out of respect to others that perhaps might not deal with it as well as myself i wear a mask when asked to do so 
it aint a big deal .. i mean really it isnt 
not to me anyway 

What's the punishment for deliberately fielding a weakened team  ;-)

Baby Joshua born just over an hour ago..Nice and healthy and the wife is fine too..couldn't be there as have 2 girls under 4 but they are excited..cheers for all the kind reactions..might find time for a beer ? 

Bloody hell DET, Don't do that! ?
I nearly had a heart attack reading that headline, fearing Philip would spill the beans about our never-to-be-uttered-of handshake at the model village in Bourton on the Water.*  Thankfully, there was no mention of it!   Phew!
 
*Did I ever tell you about the time I shook his hand at the model village in Bouton on the Water?  I bloody well hope not... it's never-to-be-uttered-of!  

Maybe he used his incredible positional sense 

Wasn't he a midfielder before he arrived? All this talk of him playing left back, centre half and left wing back - surely it's high time he proved his worth in midfield, or that £150k was a terrible riipoff! :D
Fantastic servant to the club. And amazing resilience to have come back from such crushing injuries.

Parenting is fun isn’t it.

I still don't fully understand how Bennett & Lawrence got away with fines and Keogh got sacked despite him just being the passenger. 
I understand he has a degree of responsibility as club captain, but i still feel/felt the punishment was over the top, as proved in a court of law. Your point about Mel trying to save money and seeing it as an opportunity to get Keogh off the wage bill seems to make sense now. Ironically it's actually ended up costing us a lot more money which pretty much sums up Mel's running of the club to be honest. 
Lawrence was more at fault than Keogh for the 'incident', yet Keogh gets sacked for not being a good club captain essentially. Fast forward a couple of years and Lawrence now gets promoted to club captain?. Could only happen in Football! and even more so, could only happen at Derby?

Every interview with richard Keogh should be "WHY DID YOU NOT JUST CLEAR THE BALL YOU ABSOLUTE MELT?" that's the only question of relevance.
I knwo i should let it go.
But I can't.

Mel issues a statement dripping in a lack of humility and personal responsibility.
Keogh...hold my beer

He was yelled at all match, and scores a late winner.  Then says he doesn't like us...seems pretty temperate to me?
As for coming back to bite him,  he is very much in the twilight of his career and we are certainties to be in the division below for at least another season. Think he will be thinking he's already had the last laugh...except what was sung wasn't funny. Depressing when we are already public enemy no 1 we seem keen to reinforce that image.
In the horrible Premier League season we got a great reputation for just supporting the team regardless,  wish we could go that way rather than spiteful.  I take my kids to away games and the actions of the minority are really putting me off.

He stopped climate change, he stopped climate change, Wayne Rooney, he stopped climate change.
?

Well I am not and never have been from the area so where does that put me. I consider myself as one of our own after making the journey for 52 years and still will be making it until I can’t 

He's adopted us as his own
He's adopted us as his oooooown
Wayne Rooney...
...he's not 'really' of our own but he's not ducked off in the face of severe adversity and he's slagged off the bloke we all currently very justifiably dislike more than anyone else in the whole world and as he's doing a great job this season that means any valid criticism of him last season was obviously completely wrong and even if he did possibly undermine our previous manager and seriously underperform as a player none of that matters now and if you bring it up you must hate Rooney and be a fully fledged member of the Mel Morris fan club because there's no such thing as the middle ground between agreeing with certain decisions which have been made by Mel made and backing him 100% in everything he does and I could probably go on but can't remember exactly what I've already written or would write if I was thinking clearly and hadn't drank a number of beers..
...he's one of our own. 
 

That’s not true, he’s just come on!
