Wasn't starting any argument.... Answering a previous point criticising the administrators.... Should that comment remain unchallenged?

We don't know that. Legal advice may have been that there is no chance of winning the argument.

Or that the EFL planned to drag things out until The money ran out 

Funny how nobody was bothered about him being a red dog or were dismissing his tweets until the last few months.
"I won't believe it until Percy tweets it" was a bit of a mantra for some.

You go watch who you want.
I'm a Derby County supporter.

Or...
We are staying up say we are staying up..

I'm sure the wrist slashes are out in force tonight but it's been obvious for a while now.... We need a total reset.
First and foremost - let's stay in business. Number one priority - get a new owner and as soon as possible.
Points deductions.... The squad is so poor, we'd struggle to avoid relegation even without a points deduction. That could be offset slightly by Bielik's return and acquisitions of forwards in January but, by then, it may be too late anyway.
So let's accept whatever points deductions the EFL want to throw at us, on condition that they're imposed this season. Then it's over and done with.
Assuming then that we're going down, let's start building for next season in League One.
That means blooding the youngsters that will still be with the club. Not playing each one in every game, not leaving out all the old pros. But giving each young'un experience alongside a mentor. For example Cashin playing with either Davies or Jagielka.
Assuming Bird, Knight and Bielik will go, playing Watson alongside Shinnie and Morrison. That kind of thing.
Rooney has been really dignified throughout these nightmare months but the jury is still out for him tactics wise. After the last couple of games, there are question marks against his motivational ability too. I wonder what Curtis was referring to regards the training sessions.
But anyhow, Rooney is the magnet for investors and deserves "a go" with a clean slate.
So let's put the bad stuff behind us, and start building this club up again. Even if it means losing the current crop of good young players and starting in League One.
One thing for sure, the support is fantastic. The fans deserve a club going forward, not sinking further into the mire. Let's get the crap out of the way. Move on up. COYR ?

Better this season than get relegated anyway and have it deducted next season. Let's get all the painful crap out of the way.
At least Kirchner said relegation would not make a difference to his bid - he's there for the long haul.
(I hope he knows how long it'll be)

Does this mean refs will be allowed to give us penalties now? 

Wrong Thread

Well we need to hear from Kirschner now that he and Rooney have absorbed this news. It’ll make our activity in Jan pretty depressing whoever owns us

Quitter 

Top two`s looking a bit slim this season , concentrate on the cup , COYRs

But only 16 went on to wear the shirt !

Could we win the Texaco trophy ??

Interesting pre season article in unfamiliar shirts.

I never realised that Terry Hennessy captained the side in Roys absence.

The Ram newspaper/ program used to include a colour picture of the visiting team.

Here are some 71/72 players, with Gordon Guthrie as a player. A lot of people won't know that Tim started the Ex-Rams charity games after he retired and also the Ex-Rams Old Players Association (together with Breedon Books who used to sponsor the evening). Third from right kneeling is Malcolm Edmondson and next to Kevin Hector is John Bowers Jnr in the tracksuit, both worked at the Telegraph. I think this is Northcliffe United?

Just caught up on the last 3 pages.
For someone who just missed out on the halcyon days (Technically, I didn't, as my first game in attendance coincided with the lap of honour with our second league trophy v Carlisle), this is turning into an absolutely bostin' scrap book!
Hat's off to all you old codgers (?), for not only remembering the many finer details, but also for being caring enough, and generous enough to share them.
 
Absolutely top drawer, this!

 

Middle name George?
 
Anyhow, big congratulations to @Yani P, partner and family.

You are so right about Derby and Derbyshire Brailsford. When I moved up I was immediately at home in a City with an identity. Much as I miss the coast and woods of Essex I was always associated as being from London. I moved up for college and have never left, Derby gave me identity in a way but more it gave me Derbyshire and it’s beauty. Whatever happens for the club, god forbid liquidation, it must not change from being County.
