Are you Steve Gibson in disguise 

Our academy will be our saviour ......no more talk of scrapping it !

Take a bow son. 
 
50% of the starting 10 outfield players today from the academy. 
 
Somebody said earlier this week that we should scrap the academy - I’m not so sure. 
 
My mates lad plays in the academy and said to me recently how well all the staff have handled the situation and it’s as if nothing has happened since we went into administration. That only comes from great leadership. 

As a business owner myself, I never cease to be amazed at what some company directors get away with.
I suppose it depends on how you were brought up (and how well you like to sleep at night)?

Yep that was a real "up yours" performance to everyone
 

Already posted in the match thread, but the lad deserves the recognition of having a DCFC Fans Forum topic in his name, and for positive reasons.
Like a new signing for us whilst under embargo. Frustrating he's had to wait so long to be eligible to play.
When the dark clouds pass, if we can make it through without losing our young talent, the future is clearly bright. 
 

I know it’s just me and no right thinking person on this site will agree but:-
From now to the end of the season I will consider every point won as vindication of the team I support even if it turns out to be nuisance value by stopping the opposition from picking up points from us. AND one in the eye for the EFL and all who sail in her. COYR!
 

Personally I don't think it's a case of picking one side over another. We are all aware of the absolute carnage MM has created and caused whilst at the same time, it's pretty obvious that the EFL, while having it in for MM, and subsequently us, have been nasty, vindictive and disgustingly protectionist of their own 'institution' and have failed at every step to safeguard the club's best interests (as they say they do) to ensure that this fine club can survive and move forward. Their behaviour, like MM's has been utterly appalling.
I'm staggered that some people can think the EFL have behaved perfectly fine and justified throughout this whole process. 

Except the EFL originally signed off the amortisation approach and then changed their minds after allegedly receiving pressure from other clubs.
They didn't accept the result of the first hearing - so spat their dummies out with an appeal.
Continually pushed to have the points penalty applied last season so thus their actions were trying to punish us last year.
Ignoring the above, and going with the black/white - the EFL's rules are punishing the fans and not the owners who are responsible. 
So yes, whilst Morris and Co have done an unbelievably bad job running this club financially, the EFL have also not covered themselves in much glory.

I was going to get some "we'll be back in '23" T shirts then I remembered the "we'll be back in 81" ones didn't work out too well.......
?

I'd suggest a more muted protest with bedsheets etc daubed with "WHAT ABOUT LEICESTER, QPR, WATFORD, WOLVES, MIDDLESBROUGH, VILLA AND Q-P-EFFING-R?????" or "WHERE'S OUR JUSTICE? #WEMBLEY 2014"

Finally ! Mr Rioch !
?The villa fans will never mock when they remember Bruce Rioch…Rioch…Rioch !?

These people calling for roony head need get a grip he has done a great job considering and with little or no money what so ever.

Always good to have it confirmed that football yobs are just ignorant, thick as poo, fake designer gear wearing ********.

Tell me no teams have gone on a post-Christmas run and made up points? We've still got games against the teams in the mix. We're mostly playing well, showing good skill and good endeavour. The luck needed will soon also be ours. #COYR

I do like this boy, he shows what it means to pull in the famous Rams shirt! Keep up the good work Festy, the championship is scared to death of you ????????❤️

A vile little club that play vile football in front of vile fans.

Derby commentary on the Blackpool game.  Must be Keoghs fault

Think that was a typo at the time.  It should have been backpackers from Indonesia.  

Charlton Athletic are set to sue Derby County for £25 million after the ball burst in the 1946 FA Cup Final. If it hadn’t burst then we might have won or got some good players or something, said a Charlton spokesman. Meanwhile Ipswich Town also announced they were going to sue Derby County due to some reason or other. We might have won more games if they hadn’t beaten us in them, cited an Ipswich spokesman. It simply wasn’t fair that they had better players and scored more goals. We want £40 million and Martyn Waghorn back. 
Meanwhile American fast food chain McDonalds announced that they were going to sue Derby County for fielding a player with their brand name. Flagrant breach of copyright, claimed a spokesman for the evil corporation.
In other news the EFL announced a further 9 points deduction for Derby County after the midlands side finished their 0-0 draw against Swansea with 5 full backs on the pitch. Everyone knows you should have two full backs, said a source close to Rick Parry. Derby ended the game with 5 players who full back could be considered their tecognised position. That is clearly too many. We checked the rules but couldn’t find anything specific about this so we all agreed that 3 points per extra full back sounded about right. 

Meanwhile Wycombe have announced they aren’t going to sue Derby County for getting them relegated by buying Nick Blackman when they were two leagues below after they realised it was totally ridiculous and so far fetched as to be laughable. 

 
*Has anything ever gone wrong with your football club? Not won enough points? Let in last minute winners to players who can’t even drive and park their car properly? Why not sue Derby County? Contact Gibson and Parry Solicitors for your claim form. 

Be a lot quicker after the final whistle though...

I just want a football club that has a chance of staying in the Championship this season and not facing the prospect of selling Bird etc. in January. If not, being run sensibly in League 1 and retaining as much of our young talent as possible. 
Anything else I would class as massively greedy considering the position we are in. 
Couldn't give a duck if he has billions or just enough for us to operate sustainably. His attitude to the future of our club is more important.
