hintonsboots got a reaction from Abu Derby in The Administration Thread
Quantuma are personally responsible for wrecking their own administration thread by working at a snails pace and allowing the subject to be hijacked . Bring back the AbuDerbycounty thread.

His description of Wanchope as an octopus juggling a bar of soap always comes to mind. What a team he put together.

hintonsboots reacted to HuddersRam in Groundwork
Morning squad. I've been radio silence on here the last few months for two reasons:
I can't add anything on the situation between just sorrow I've been working on something new For those who don't know and for those who don't care (understandable, no complaints from me) I produced a book called Pride in 2020, which went into the last 20 or so years of the club. That was nice, but the issue is that for those 20 years we were pretty awful. So I wanted to work on something new and a bit more feel good. And so...
I'm really, really pleased to say that my next book will go live in Autumn of this year and it's titled: Groundwork: The Inside Story Behind Jim Smith's Derby County.
Just like Pride, it's told from the behind the scenes perspective of those incredible few years and includes insight from around 60 former players, coaches and staff members at the club. From Igor, Eranio and Sturridge, through to Steve's McClaren and Round, it delves into what made that time so special. But more than this it focuses on the work of Jim as a manager and crucially, as a man. I've spoken with the creators of Prozone, the first sports psychologist in British football, the first fitness coach in the game, to evaluate how pivotal Derby (yes, Derby) were in the evolution of football in this country. And there is also a section remembering Jim himself, including thoughts from his family, as well as close friends like Harry Redknapp and Howard Wilkinson. There's even a Graham Richards cameo or two.
I know there's a lot of continuing nightmares around us at the minute, but hopefully this brings a bit of joy and memories of what this club can be. ?

Always check the dedicated administration news thread before trawling through this quagmire pal.

Panicked when I hadn’t been on all day and saw 20 off new pages to go through… only to see it’s been turned into a Knock off Jeremy Kyle thread.

Another crazy busy day and long hours for Quantuma as they desperately try to thrash a deal out for the future of our football club.

hintonsboots got a reaction from Premier ram in CALLING MEL MORRIS
Appealing directly to Mel and reiterating the OP’s post @Cook1988.
Mel, if you still have a reasonable amount of wealth ( that’s subjective depending on a persons current situation) please do the right thing. Give the stadium away to the prospective new owner and honour at least some of the debt you have amassed. This is not a normal business transaction, it’s personal to perhaps 50k Rams fans. Do you really want the ruination of DCFC on your CV ??
I know you read this Forum.

I cannot see any scenario where we do not beat Coventry AND follow that up by beating Preston after a nice break to recharge.

His Gastrocnemius muscles are worth more than that.
