Penetration in boxes is what I crave..... ?

Not really sure why their performance in other games matters? And to be honest, if today's mob are that bad every game, they really need sacking. They're paid to do a job after all. 
Every team gets bad calls, this much is true, but when it's almost every game, it's only natural that folk start to ask questions. Some of the officiating this season and to a lesser extent, the 2nd half of last season too, has been bewildering in it's ineptitude. 

I was all up for a lord of the rings discussion thread....

I thought it was going to be Elvis. 

It’s @David - he’s been on the DET Journo half-day virtual workshop course. He’ll “break silence” on it tomorrow, in an exclusive click-bait scoop. Stop press! ?

In the shower

I have to say my respect for Rooney has steadily risen this season.  I just love the never say die he has instilled.
If he stays, and we achieve the miracle of getting the deduction to a manageable level, he has the attitude to keep us up even with a thread bare squad. 
Think of it, we beat the odds, p*** off Gibson, irritate the nay-sayers in the press and he becomes a legend, all in one fell swoop. ?

Be also lost key members of his backroom staff now but that can not be easy.

Do you know what - I wonder if he maybe actually less frustrated.  He no longer has what must have been a huge frustration trying to get answers from Mel, for months, with no response.  I know how I'd feel if that had been me.  Imagine having an issue at work, and you constantly try to talk to your boss about it, but he ignores you completely. Won't answer the door, pick up the phone, respond to emails. That's what Rooney was working with.  I suspect he'll be far more informed now with Administrators in charge.  

Well dont forget he been managed by some of the best but he bound to take bits from each manager been under but this is his first job. He has respect by many Derby fans but I just want let him know that and we are all with him and the lads. We all need to stand strong but I think he must be frustrated as hell at the moment.

He's certainly been the one positive in all of this and has totally changed my opinion of him as a person.
He's also done a better job managing the team this season than he did last.

Hey roony I know maybe you dont read these forums I want to let you know that everything done this club I want to thankyou personal you have gone beyond call of duty but you have probably save our club Derby county with out you I would hate to think what state be in now with out your help keep fighting roony things will get better I promise you that.

I love this B4, because I am not sure if you meant it like that or not 

Let the man embrace his passion. Perhaps a bit ambitious but has his right to enjoy his own emotions, as do we all.

Funny, but that has always been my policy when deciding whether to stay with a girlfriend or not.

Preston 0 Derby 2

Person X hasnt spoken to media in 2 or more days = "BREAKS SILENCE" 
Person X said one banal thing, we've all known for the past week as he got into his car = PERSON X'S REVELATIONS WILL LEAVE Derby FANS SHOCKED" 
Its up there with "FANS OF EASTENDERS WILL BE SHOCKED BY HOW ETHELS PUG WILLIE LOOKS NOW"
Playskool clickbait journalism. It could be done by a bot, or by a trainee/apprentice. More likely its done by a 50 year old journalist who can't believe what happened to the job he used to love....

Can’t think we’ve helped him improve it?

Anyone who can save us from liquidation and steady the ship over the next few years 

Actually there’s one thing that the majority who have voted for Ashley want and that’s a future for Derby County- all the other things you mention are ‘nice to haves’ for a club in a far better position than we find ourselves…..

Whoever it is, they will get my full backing until I see otherwise. 
 
Anybody that is seriously looking at Derby now deserve a chance to shine. 

The name is irrelevant. The background of the person is irrelevant.
Mel was the dream owner in many ways, but he has done more damage than anybody in it's history.
All I want from an owner is for them to give me something to be proud off, a relatable team that tgives their all every week. Stop chasing unrealistic dreams, if it means we have to overachieve to get to the Premier League then so be it. Run the club properly and stop this casino style running off my club. That is all I want from an owner.
 

You have massive passionate fan base that will follow the lads all over country but first thing to get rid of embargo and admin to clear the debts as much as you can. 
2nd thing is try leave roony some spending in jan as he not really had anything to spend.
3. When club start selling them again please keep in mind that need to a bit cheaper so that we get a full pp again but also were the club can make a profit again.
4 when selling food also make reasonable pricing dont make it so experance that nobody buys anything from the ground.
5. When new shirts come try and them around £30 mark for adults shirts and kids around £15 mark.
This way you will sell more but also make more money put into the club again. 
6. Match day tickets you could £15 to £20 mark this will also help to fill pp again and also help long term of running the club in a good way.
7. Get roadriders back at decent prices or if possible get ramaway back on the trains or a discount for Derby county fans that wish to use trains for away games.
Derby county is means everything to me and like to lot of us.

With these polls, I always vote for the one I think has the smallest number of votes. Imagine my surprise when that one in this poll has nearly half the votes.

Exactly. Whatever the ups and downs of the team the club has been a model of stability during Ashley's fourteen years of ownership. He's also left the club in a position which will allow the new despots/owners to spend a lot of money over the next few years without being caught up in F.F.P..
