    He may have shareholdings as a Business Angel in lots of companies. He may have a huge share portfolio being managed by a stockbroker. He may have a substantial portfolio of property assets. He may have cash in the Bahamas. He may have 12 vintage Lamborghini's in storage, and a yacht in San Marino.

    San Marino is landlocked so that'd be another failed purchase by him!

    My wife told me she wanted to leave me at the end of July. I've been thru hell since. Today was the first day since that I've had the slightest smidgen of hope. It probably isn't any real hope, but I don't feel quite as much despair as I have done for weeks.

    Then I found out about this fking sht.

    I'm the halvest of half fans, but can't take it. I can't imagine what it's like for you lot who go week in, week out.

    Sorry to hear about that, stay strong. Sunshine comes after rain and all that, hopefully things will get better soon in all respects.

    I try and keep things as fair and balanced as I can, as I always do when it comes to Derby County, but tonight was completely symptomatic of where we are at as a club.

    Mel, you've been a decent custodian for a number of the years that you have been our owner. It can't have been easy trying to compete with parachute payments and the like and trying to chase the dream with thousands of baying Derby fans full of ambition on your back. I get that. But tonight is a major indicator of the total mess we have now been left with as a club with the unorthodox methods you have employed to try and gain these advantages. Derby fans deserve some finality to the current issues and need to move on to save the club from the inevitable major decline approaching.

    You simply can't expect a squad of mostly kids bolstered by some ageing free agents to compete in the toughest league in the world. By trying to plot and work around the financial fair play rules (as flimsy and pathetic as they may be) you have led this great club into an untenable position at the moment. Squad depth is non-existent and in the odd case that we can stay competitive in games our lack of options shines through when the going gets tough in the 75th minute. It is completely unfair on Wayne Rooney and his staff to be left in this position, and completely unfair on the players who have stuck by and are currently fighting for Derby County Football Club.

    I understand I will personally never be in the position to walk away from a multi-million pound business so can't imagine the problems this would pose, and I have no doubts that you are doing what you can to keep things afloat, but with the club being a proud institution of Derbyshire, it's so heart-breaking to see that things are going the way they are because of what I feel are personal battles and arguments with members of the EFL board.

    To the people of this forum, how much longer can things go on the way they are going without being challenged? We are dying by a thousands cuts in the hope that we may avoid a points deduction and stay up again by the skin of our teeth. In reality, every game that goes by is forcing a points deduction on us whether we like it or not. We can't keep trying to tread water like we are.

    I love your optimism and I so hope your right. However last season we scored the lowest amount of goals in the league 36 in 46 games, and stayed in the league because a team below us had a points deduction. 
    This season so far no one has a points deduction and we haven't strengthen anywhere that would say we will beat last years goal scoring tally . I don’t know for one minute why anyone thinks we’ll be ok. 

    Well it took us 9 games last season to get to our current points total and 14 games to get to 7 points, so we're not exactly performing worse yet

    hope that none of our players are  called up. Risks of injury, tiredness and Covid risk is too high.

    You just know what is going to happen to those that have been called up. It will disrupt our season even further.

    Impeccable timing
