Can you give a cast iron guarantee you'll continue to fund the club with the minimum amount needed to ensure survival as a club, until any takeover how ever long that will be?
 

I would like to submit this non football related question, but one that I feel on a human level should be asked.
Mel, how are you and how is your health?

He was out with friends, there was no sexual activity, had a little too much to drink definitely. He's been really silly for a nearly 40 year old who's married. I just don't like the context of how it's acceptable for these young women to post pictures, "having a laugh" on the internet yet if the genders were reversed it'd be scorned upon.

On a serious note, I wonder what the reaction would have been like if that was two young men taking inappropriate pictures in front of a woman who was asleep. The social media reaction would be quite different. Them girls knew who he was and sold the story to the paper. They might have been a couple of girls his mates were flirting with at the club and he wanted to just have a drink, relax and go home the following morning.
The double standards is awful. We need to start treating this sort of behaviour equally.

Me too, I'm always pleased to tick off a new ground and this will be the 84th of the current 92 that I've seen us play at so I'm very happy to have a ticket.

Please note there are 2 activities in Salford the first is taking drugs the second is financing it.
we used to say when the commonwealth games were in Manchester they should have had the shooting competition in Salford.

Hopefully there's some great away days ahead for you then ? 

And perhaps we can also follow the principle of innocent until proven guilty rather than guilty in the court of twitter

Every single manager at Derby said the same - he isn’t fit enough to be selected or start ! 
 
the most annoying thing about this is the fact that the EFL have made us lose this financial asset regardless of us wanting to play him and I think their actions on this are nothing short of disgraceful and it needs broadcasting very loudly around football circles 

I hope you're right but that just proves their vindictiveness. We should be dealt with the same, regardless of who our owner/onwners are. They(the EFL) will hopefully self implode one day. 

Why are some folk so unable, unwilling or both, to assimilate a few simple facts concerning these charges? It's no small wonder that fans from other clubs have a poor opinion of us now, when some of our own fans, who ought to be better informed, are themselves the first to jump on any sniff of perceived wrongdoing. What possible benefit is there in wilfully ignoring what we know to be true in favour presupposing guilt at every corner? We've even got folk using the fact that we've not submitted the new accounts inside 48 hours as the latest stick with which to thrash the club. It simply beggars belief.
For the umpteenth time, there were two charges; one related to the valuation of our stadium and was summarily dismissed by the DC; the other related to our amortisation policy which was signed off on and approved under legal accounting standards by independent auditors, the auditors regulatory body, the DC and the ducking EFL themselves, the latter several times over a period of years. The amortisation policy charge was also initially dismissed by the DC for the aforementioned reasons. This left the EFL so desperate to save face that they appealed the decision, the outcome of which was predicted by myself and numerous others on this very thread: a small fine in order to secure the token win they need to maintain any ducking credibility at all AND NO POINTS DEDUCTION. 
At this point, I very much doubt that even the EFL will be willing to risk further embarrassment. They can kid themselves this paltry fine vindicates two years of unwarranted charges and appeals and get back to their principal role as lapdogs to Sky and the Premiership whilst paying themselves inflated salaries for doing so. As for the DC, I strongly suspect that they only agreed to what is a nominal fine in order to save the EFL from falling into further disrepute and to allow us to finally emerge from under an endless series of unfair and damaging embargos and to prevent the EFL from continuing what has become a spiteful and unwarranted campaign against a club whose chairman quite rightly questioned their business acumen. In doing so, they have vindicated Mel's opinion in spades, though the crushing irony of this has unsurprisingly escaped the EFL's notice and who will doubtless be celebrating spending millions to secure a £100k fine for their members' coffers.
If, as I strongly suspect, the EFL do not appeal this sanction, I think we will 'be the bigger man' and simply take the £100k hit in order to allow us to return to football matters rather than spending every waking hour addressing the embittered ramblings and actions of a so-called professional body that seems more intent on undermining its membership than serving it. 

Then we as a country should demand that Boris let them take it to Hungary where COVID rules are more relaxed.
 
A global pandemic clearly doesn’t affect the Uber rich and FIFA & UEFA statesmen and women and VIPs.
 
We as nationals cannot go anywhere outside of the “Green Light zones” without adhering to quarantine regulations. So why should we bend or break our own rules to accommodate this request. 
 
Makes no difference to us Joe Public types where these fixtures are played. They might as well move them to Mars as we wouldn’t get anywhere near these matches even if we wanted to.
Rant over ?‍? ?

I did all of them on Tuesday with my better half and two forest fans, we all really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone, great job by everyone involved and well worth doing irrespective of any football allegiances, some great ideas and artistic talent on display. 

Don’t see why we should take any points deduction. Fine is quite enough for a “technical “ guilty verdict passed by a panel with no accountants after a not guilty verdict from a panel that includes accountants. 

Not quite the right place to post this i know, but if Newport win today they are going to dedicate it to Mark O'Brien, for that reason alone i am a Newport fan for the afternoon.

I think you missed out an important “n”  in there

Don’t be too disappointed with @eezzeetigerreaction. He probably did try to press ❤️ rather than ? but it must be bloody difficult with a six fingered hand and his two sisters sitting on each knee.

In respect of season ticket sales I think most of us are just waiting patiently rather than over reacting (IMO) by describing the situation as pitiful. 

Jim Wheeler on just been on Radio Derby - as my wife (who doesn’t really care about football) said “he’s very self important isn’t he?”. Came across as pompous and arrogant - claiming to speak on behalf of all the fans. Well he doesn’t speak for me…..

Sign Diedhiou. Loves scoring against us.

Someone else’s would be better.
