anyone else feeling bit emotional reading these today?

"We didn’t get promotion but it wasn’t the end of the world". 
what an excellent interview. I love this man and his family. I saw his wife in the toilets at pride park and thought it would be inappropriate to hug her but wish I had!
Hope all those moaning and entitled about everything read this and think on to the absolute garbage they have had to sort in the last year. have patience - it will be so much more special if done the right way

A squad of 5.
Not getting the rub of the green in those early away league matches.
Defeats to world greats such as Lincoln and Port Vale.
An early exit from the one cup competition we had (realistic) high hopes of "Doing well" in.
The torture of a peno shootout defeat against one of the big boys.
The dampest of squibs against Wet Spam.
The false hope as the new year kicks off with a bang.
The reality of a 3 game losing streak as March turns to April.
One final bouquet of false hope in mid-April, before the dawn of reality rises from Leppings Lane.
 
 
... Forget all that!
This past 12 months has been an honour to be a part of, and an absolute pleasure... and all thanks to one man!
Not for the first time... I salute you, Mr Clowes!  🐏🍻
 

That march is quite probably the most signigicant event in the entire history of Derby County since participating in it appears to have convinced David Clowes that if he didn't intervene then we almost certainly would be no more. That thought is frightening!
I've often wondered who the actual instigators of the march were because we, as Rams fans, owe them a huge debt of gratitude.

Reading this piece brings that year flooding back and makes you quite emotional when thinking about it. The bond and unity between staff, players, and fans was unlike any other since I've been a derby fan. The games against Birmingham and Fulham stick out in particular as real 'wow' moments that made you believe there was no way the club could possibly sink under the mountain of debt. 
But it was also the year of doom scrolling at 2.00 am searching desperately for updates as yet another bidder or deadline had been and gone. I'm so grateful to have someone like Clowes at the helm who'll look after the club's legacy and not gamble it on a hope of promotion. 

I can't tell you how happy it makes me to finally have a decent, principled man like David Clowes at the helm, rather than some parasitic venture capitalist consortium, a human-rights abusing nation state or a deluded egomaniac millionaire.
No promise of on-the-pitch success could ever convince me to give up what we currently have for any of the latter.
I can't remember the last time I genuinely felt this, but it feels good to be a Ram.

If she was seated at the time, I for one think you probably exercised good judgment.

Ideally we’ll be playing in the division above them next season.

We all read some absolute s**** on this forum, and for it never have been said on here... kinda shows you how few people have questioned it!
