IslandExile got a reaction from Reggie Greenwood in Your top 3 Hopes for 2021/22
Oh, you mean football related.... Ok then:
1. Long term existence is secured
2. Attacking entertaining football
3. Focus is entirely on the pitch, not off field "shenanigans"
Of course, winning games, promotions etc but I assume that's a given. Ditto a return to navy blue shorts and red numbers.

Leicester of course just continued to cheat and did very well out of it. Avoiding any points deductions.
A club now lorded as the plucky little underdog who made it big.
A truly detestable club. Their bin robbing fans refuse to acknowledge the complete cheating bastary employed in their rise from div 3.

I'd struggle to think of any Derby fan who would want to do this as death by a thousand points deductions. There is no logical reason, only solution is to take it all, get the slate cleared and move on. Yes, we will have to drop down to League One, yes it is not guaranteed we will bounce back immediately but Wolves, Leeds, Coventry, Southampton and others have shown you can rebuild from that position. Many will quote Sunderland, Portsmouth, Bolton and Sheff Wed but they will all come back in time - as will we.

IslandExile reacted to B4ev6is in Well to the players keep heads we shall stand togather as one
Well lads if efl dudction another 9 points not that I think they should have not done so. But well for me go and play with freedome and no fear and help us get new owners through the door. Yes we are going come up from league one but there competion we stand a chance of winning and we might as well have a decent cup run in the fa cup run.
You have most loyal supporters that will follow you any were we go. But your are our Derby county players and we love you.
As chant goes
Oh Derby we do oh Derby we love you.
Derby till I die
And to efl we shall not ever ever ever forgive you or forget this I promise you that and one other person you know who you are I hope you are happy with your selfs.

If your changing manager, I’d much prefer to be looking at the likes of Ian Evatt or Ryan Lowe than the Pulis and Warnock’s

Another little treat, probably the best interview ever with Brian Clough !! and some great footage of the old BBG.
20 minutes precursor to becoming champions of England !!

IslandExile reacted to Wolfie in To blame Derby fans for DCFC problems is nonsensical
Fans to blame?. No
Happy to ride on the good ship Mel Morris and feel that we were getting one over on the EFL and splash some cash?. Definitely.

May as well go into lockdown whilst we are at it..
Absolutely not. I do get your point about filling other clubs coffers but it really isn't about that, besides pretty sure we get a small % of ticket sales for away matches.
If anything, we should be filling that away end every game. Being proud of who we are and that we are sticking by our city and our football club. That's what we do and that is what will happen. The bounce back starts now. Potential new players will see this and understand what a special club we are.

IslandExile reacted to Kernow in Your top 3 Hopes for 2021/22
I hope we start giving players like Stretton, Williams, Ebosele etc regular football. I hope the EFL also remove the absurd restrictions that stop us playing the likes of Cashin. We’re already down, they’re halting the progress of these players for no reason now.
Players like Cashin may not be good enough, but I’d rather have the chance to decide that now so we’re decided on what we need next season, rather than waste next year too by finding it out too late.
Players like CKR, Jagielka etc, who would definitely start in our best XI are not our future, and probably won’t be here in L1 next season, so I’d favour the younger players for next season.
I also hope WR stays and already begins to implement his plan and style for next year. He’s in a unique position of being able to plan for next season with still 2/3 of the current campaign still remaining.

1 Shinnie stays. He is vital if we are in league one.
2 If Rooney leaves, we don't go for celebrity. Bolton aren't at the top of the league, but Evatt, Eustace etc would still be high up my list.
3 Responsible and sustainable ownership
