No one likes our interpretation of financial standards, we don't care

Pearce is an accountat, wears an accounting hat, changed amortisation policicy, said FS102 that, depreciated down the left side, amortised down the right, he'll never straight line method, the figurs add up right.
 

"You're going home in a linearly depreciated ambulance ".....?

‘We amortise how we like
we amortise how we like
we’re Derby County
we amortise how we like’ 

Spare a thought for Morecambe, who are now unable to sell their £80mil stadium. They should have taken the opportunity quickly when it was revealed that the EFL's 'expert' valued it the same last year.

We are now getting more daily cases than the rest of the EU put together. I can see some countries putting the shutters up.

I hope we are one of the clubs who voted in favour of this. Boil a little more piss when other clubs see our name in the list.

I don't think any of us could have foreskin this development

For a laugh?

Unlucky Gibson you big fat curly haired duck! 
 
 

Nick De Marco reaction on twitter
Delighted for Derby County. The idea of any points deduction, let alone a retrospective one, was a nonsense in the circumstances. The full written reasons of the DC make clear why any points deduction would be wholly disproportionate and I urge anyone interested to read them.

Here's what saved us from a points deduction last season:
"62) Before we leave this section, we record that, had we taken a different view of the Club’s conduct – and in particular, had we concluded that the Club had indeed been reckless or dishonest in its decision to implement and operate the amortisation policy, that the Club had acted other than in good faith and/or that the Club had deliberately misrecorded or attempted to conceal the amortisation policy that it had implemented and was operating – we would have taken a far harsher view as to the gravity of the Club’s conduct."

Would make a refreshing change from paying £20million for players who are worth 20p

Booooooooo! I'm only getting excited when they go on twitter and say they will pay 20 million for players who are worth it.

Alas I think it might be true. I just spotted a different friend of the person who posted this on the Wycombe messageboard buying patio furniture in B&Q.

Take this as it's meant, this has come via two pretty influential figures in DCFC history over the past 30 years, not claiming to be ITK and am just repeating what I've been told from sources that I rate highly.
Been told today that it is a Washington DC based consortium/investors that are behind the bid for the club, knew Rooney when he played for DC United, and are just waiting to see which division we are in next season, it's expected to be the Championship.  Led to believe that one of the investors is an agent.
IF we are relegated then Rooney walks, that is not thought to be expected though.
All ready to go and waiting on the EFL appeal and conformation of Championship status.
 
No idea of money to spend, but given the past few years spending then maybe that doesn't really matter and frugality could be the key.

Ed Dawes usually stays quiet unless he is confident something is happening.

Apparently Chiquito is going to be an Indian Tapas/Grill and cocktail bar. Sounds interesting.

Bunch of bankers!
 

Maybe without live football, pubs and indeed opium, then there is no opium for the masses.

I find it strange how many people are just realising that wealth and status brings privilege. Like it's a new thing. 

Thanks all, managed to put a few of these to him!
Can confirm Igor is as legendary and terrifying as ever. But he still loves this club as much as he did when he wore the shirt. He also loves a cigarette, the genius.

Finished Snowfall in iPlayer last night, really good.
4 seasons that follow a local kid who was selling weed in South Central LA but decided to branch out into coke not knowing people in the black neighbourhoods where he lived couldn't afford it.
So when he heard about crack (or rock cocaine as it was called then - the word crack isn't used in any of the episodes so not sure when that came in) he decided to start cooking that.
He then found the mega-dealer (who was a CIA operative bringing in it to fund cash to supply arms to the Nicaraguan contras, but he didn't know that until the 3rd of 4th season) who was supplying his dealer and started spreading out into other areas of South Central LA.
Fairly violent and sometimes the accents were tough to understand, but I thought it was a brilliant portrayal of people sliding down a path that would have previously been anathema to them.
He went from this nice super-smart kid-next-door to a violent criminal mastermind, a couple of the characters got hooked on crack and it all went south. and even the CIA agent started using and got more erratic.
In that respect it had an almost Breaking Bad feel to it.
As far as I know the story is entirely fictional, but the way crack took over in the 80s and how the CIA were shipping coke into black neighbourhoods to fund the fight against the Sandinista's was very much was a thing.
It also did a cool job of bringing the Colombian, Mexicans and even Israelis into the picture and to show how complicated it all got.
Well worth checking out of you liked BB, Narcos or even Zero Zero Zero. 

Watched it when it was on originally. Didn’t find myself caring about any of the characters - particularly Norton who came across as a bit of a wuss….Perhaps my expectations were too high though it seems there’s another series in the offing so I might need to re-watch it….
