Stephen Pearce is taking the transfer kitty to Vegas.
Who knows?
 

My dad loves this pic 🤩

I know this thread was born from an extremely sad place. But the love and positivity that has come from that has been wonderful. It’s my favourite thread on the forum. 
Thank you Daniel 🖤🤍

This is why I love rtv , match commo by people who are invested in the club rather than sky with a commo team that struggle to even get the simplest of facts about the club, players , form ect right ,
you do a great job Owen , thank you 🐏👍

I'd say save Forest and Leeds until we've found our feet, the new players have settled in and we're moving up the table 🐏

I prefer it to the Premier League. 
If you're outside the clique of Premier clubs then each game is just damage limitation. 
I hope the top six or whatever leave for some TV super league (Harlem Globetrotters anyone?) and the top domestic league becomes more competitive as a result. 
Even the championship is now ruined as a competition by parachute payments tilting the balance. 
At least League One was competitive, unpredictable and, in the most part, entertaining.

Thank you @Owen87ITK. Just when I had finally stopped crying, you got me going again 😭🐑

Not disagreeing but just adding Ally McCoist - for his pleasant humour

My opinion has always been spend what you like as long as you lodge 80% of the funds to cover the costs on an annual basis including National Insurance and daily overheads..  If you don't cover the costs every July, you can't spend anymore and indeed will need too sell players to meet that years liability.  That way the mess we got into will be far more minimal.  The general day to day sales and matchday ticket purchases will need to be submitted on a monthly basis to cover the other 20%.  If there is a shortfall the amount you have shown you can spend will be reduced accordingly.  

Derby 3 Eusebio's Benfica 0
I remember someone, maybe Graham Richards or Gerald Mortimer, on the radio saying something like he saw Kevin Hector walking down the corridor, injured, in the afternoon and thought there's no way he could play in the game. But he did play, and he was brilliant 🐏

24th September 1997, Sheffield Wednesday 2 - 5 Derby County. A few days after my birthday, I finished school for the day and when my dad got home from work he asked out of the blue (and out of character to be so impulsive) if I wanted to go watch Derby that night, I of course said yes. So we picked up a mate of mine along the way and drove to Sheffield, watched some Italian magic from both sides with Di Canio and Carbone trying their hardest (and failing) to upstage Eranio and Baiano (scored 2). Wanchope (who I loved) and Burton combined for a goal a piece….can’t remember who got the other but it was a pretty special night under the Hillsborough lights wearing that sexy orange and blue Puma number 😮‍💨

October 21 1961.  Derby 2 Liverpool 0.   Mick Hopkinson from 60 yards !! (well it seemed like it from the 'boys' enclosure !!) and Bill Curry. 27000+ at the BBG. Ron Yeats putting Bill Curry into the railings in frustration.
September 24th 1966.  Derby 4 Huddersfield 3  Kevin Hectors home debut. Boy was that some debut !! Despite having 4 opposition trying to mark him he still managed to score and created the space for Durban to score 3. Little did we know then what the next 10 years would hold !!
November 1st 1969.  Derby 4 Liverpool 0. Can still see Hector and O'Hare bearing down on Lawrence in goal at the Ossie End for the fourth goal. 40993 at the BBG.
January 23rd 1971.  Derby 2 Wolves 1.  FA Cup 4th round. 40000+ at the BBG. 6" of mud and John O'Hare chesting in, in the 90th minute !!
Need I go on. Oh those memories.
