G STAR RAM

Because they've become that entrenched in their view of wanting Warne sacked that they will throw literally anything at him?

Comparing a league table is superficial and a much more reliable comparison is you saying whether you think we were lucky or not in games?! 😂😂😂

Because our other strikers weren't match fit?

Agree regarding Fozzy. Think its way too early to be calling JJ some player, he hardly touched the ball apart from the goal. From memory didnt we create loads of chances against Port Vale last season?

The last 2 sets of published accounts were 2017 and 2018. 2017 showed a loss of circa £8m. 2018 showed a profit of £15m, or a loss of £25m if adjusted for the profit on the ground. The cash loss for the 2 years combined was £9m. Net transfer fees for the 2 years was £10m.

From memory, purchased the club for £50m and then injected a further £130m. Total £180m out of an estimated fortune of £500m. Recouped £20m of that from the sale of the ground? Covid/EFL gave him the perfect excuse to get out once he got bored and the fans starting asking questions about the finances. That's why I state it was not bad recruitment that got us relegated to League One.

Only just seen this and it has coincided with me chopping up onions for dinner 🥺

Evidence?

Id suggest you read the findings of the Independent Disciplinary Commission.

Its not the reason we ended up in League One though. That is because MM got fed up of using us as his train set.

Teams that recruit better players have better teams? Thanks for the fantastic insight. Don't think anyone is disputing that, just the notion that the only reason Derby are in League One is because of bad recruitment. If you can't see any other factors that played a part, I'd suggest its you with your head buried somewhere, not necessarily the sand, and not others.

Hopefully we don't have to play Chelsea next season then when they are inevitably relegated due to their poor recruitment.

That cant be plural, because 2 half chances would equal 1 chance and we only had 0.7 remember.

That's a question only MM can answer. The FFP charges may have been the straw that broke the camels back or an excuse to get out of the financial mess he had got us in, I assume, once again, that is something we will never know.

Exactly. According to the xG stat, none of the saves he made were expected to go in.

No, going into administration was the choice of MM?

Maybe he has got xG and FFP mixed up?

Told you there was nothing to worry about 😂

I stopped reading here. We are not in League One because of recruitment.

Yep, if you'd have known about xG you'd have been playing in Europe apparently.

Derby are in the 3rd division because of going into administration and supposedly breaching P&S rules, not sure what that has got to do with xG?

You're just reiterating what I was saying? xG is just a nothingness stat that doesn't mean anything.

xG never has been and never will be a valuable statistic. We scored a goal and 9 times out of 10 the deflected shot from Fornah goes in, so how does that translate to 0.7 expected goals?

And the time to raise this is less than 2 minutes after we've just scored 🤣

Clown.
