    This is down to that deal the EFL did with the PL isn't it?
    Where they can just come around academies, whisk them away and leave a curly whirly on the side for us if they haven't played X number of games on a first team contract.

    It wasn't plucked out of thin air.
    It was predidted by Paddy Power on the assumption of promotion.
    And that's the Truth

    If true, the fact that we are being pressured by the EFL to sell young players for minimal fees with no sell-on clause or add-ons when their wages are hardly crippling, is a disgrace.
    And TBH, if Rowett is a party to such a scandalous bid by Millwall, he needs to start looking for a new place to live outside of the Derby area, because he's not welcome.

    If we had accepted the original charges (stadium and amortisation), we would have...
    less than a 12 point deduction (due to promptly accepting the charge) finished 16th in the table had a business plan put in place by the EFL to get losses back within acceptable levels for future periods. Chances are this would be a form of soft transfer embargo for the remainder of Jan 2020 and the summer 2020. We only needed a £2m drop in wage bill for 20/21 to be back on track. been able to have new owners However, because we had the audacity to appeal against the charges:
    21 point deduction business plan put in place transfer embargoed for 5 transfer windows (including 2 hard embargoes) gone into administration looking at the prospect of League 1 football Been forced to sell players at a fraction of their real value Cut the squad down to just 11 players over the age of 21 Been unable to play youngsters Been forced to release promising youngsters due to not being able to play them Been blocked from extending contracts of players Being prevented from having a new owner

    Someone called Adam Boddington (very possibly on here) has created a petition asking for the Sports Minister to look at the situation between Derby, Middlesbrough and Wycombe. The EFL is mentioned in the petition title:

    Well done Adam for starting something off.

    Forcing the Administrators to settle spurious claims before approving a takeover would be an affront to natural justice IMO - denying a Defendant their right to have their case heard in Court through coercion goes against the core principles of English Law. The EFL appear to be actively colluding with the Claimants. 
    These duckers need sorting out.

    Nookiebear1 reacted to Leicester Ram in Wayne Rooney   
    If the club survives I think Rooney has the potential to be the most influential Derby manager of my lifetime (I should mention I'm only 24 before you start twatting the keyboard). Even if this is his last season with us, the siege mentality he's created could have a lasting effect on the club.
    I'm particularly thinking about the relationship between the club and the fans when I say this. I'll leave the tactical stuff to our resident football geniuses.
    I hate Leeds and their fans as much as the next Ram but the relationship they have with their teams is almost second to none. They went to hell and back but on their way down the divisions they gained a siege mentality. They have a bravado/arrogance to their fanbase that can seem distasteful to the outside but is incredibly galvanising for the players/staff. They also don't boo them.
    Pride Park is different this season, the fans still showing up are generating the best atmosphere I've been a part of and there's 10,000 less of us. If we keep that, a club the size of ours will be successful without having to chuck too much money around.
    If we're getting results now with washed up free agents, academy players and 39 year old CB's, imagine what it's going to be like when we have a decent team again. The supporters getting an extra 10/20% out of the players will only get us so far and affect the table so much now but if we'd had more of that in those season's with promotion potential (13/14, 14/15, 15/16, 17/18, 18/19) maybe we wouldn't be in this mess.
    I don't take what Rooney's doing this year for granted, under the leadership of a lesser man the atmosphere could be utterly toxic the way it has been in recent tough periods. No offence to a great servant to the club but imagine if Darren Wassall was in charge of this team! Rooney's got this hopeless team in a hopeless situation playing with more guts than anyone else, if he wasn't doing that we'd be gaining nothing from our fall. 
    Maybe Rooney isn't a tactical mastermind but he's used what he has got to keep everyone's heads up; despite everything going on we feel like a "big club".
    I'm an optimist but I'm hoping we'll look back at the Rooney years as the period in which our support went from quite good to up there with the best in the country. That's something that will attract players, get us results we don't deserve and make the experience of watching Derby simply more fun, even if we're poo.

    The EFL will wait to see what plays out between Boro, Wycombe and Derby and yes they will be loving it.
    Immediately after a settlement is reached the EFL will create new rules stopping clubs from charging each other, IE: us charging QPR and Villa.
    As for liquidation. As soon as the name Gadsby came up it was enough for me to realise we won't be liquidated. Gadsby isn't the best option, but he is the insurance option. He won't allow the club to go under, him and other rich fans he will know will chuck the bare minimum in to keep the club afloat before selling us on eventually. Can't grumble at that really.

    Don’t go to anymore away games this season . You won’t be filling the coffers of other Championship teams. Save the cash and use it next season to buy a friend or relative a season ticket . The players will understand.

    I thought this as soon as we went into admin and started selling out away ends. We should say we aren’t selling away tickets as we haven’t got an operating ticket office and then keep the money in our own club by purchasing home tickets.  
    whilst we’re at it, put all away tickets in our ground upto £40-£50 and fleece other fans. They hate us anyway so may as well add another thing to their list. 
     
    we should definitely not sell any boro tickets !!!!
