We've been through some tough times, when you put all the horrendous Covid stuff alongside the financial firestorm of the Morris era together we are lucky to have a club left to support.
But we have a fantastic club to support, we still have our wonderful, stressful, beautiful club to support.
We are averaging 26,000 in the third division. We are selling out most away games, we are Derby.
I love this football club, I love everything about DCFC. I love the history, I love people like @loweman2 doing all the stuff about shirts, @Inverurie Ram with his Rams flag thread, 
Whatever happens this season, whether we make the play offs or even sneak into the autos, it doesn't really matter. 
Being part of the DCFC family is what matters.  We are Derby. Enjoy every game you go to and get behind the team.

It's pretty dreadful that we've now seen two elected members of parliament murdered carrying out constituency duties in a shortish space of time.
People taking the piss need to take a look at themselves.

The reality of DCFC's situation is that it's going to take years to recover from this, and we need someone who will get us to a financially stable position.  Unfortunately the only one of the poll choices that I could see sticking around for that long is Mike Ashley.  I'd rather take his as owner and be financially sorted and stable in a decade, rather than DCFC disappearing by this time next year.  
If there was a genuine consortium that was headed by a billionaire with deep pockets and long arms, then obviously I'd take them over Mike Ashley (does anyone have a phone number for Elon Musk??), but in their absence, Mike Ashley has 14 years of experience with Newcastle behind him and £300 million in his pocket.

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.

We have a few posters who have agreed to gift a ticket or 2 to someone who cannot afford to go. You can PM me if you you want to go but genuinely can't afford to buy a ticket or two. Due to Covid you will need a fan id and an email address. We can get the ticket emailed to you.
Your PM will be dealt with in strictest confidence. We have all had times when we haven't been able to afford to go, we are all Derby and will help each other.
    

I understand that argument.
But I just want him gone.
Didn't want him as a player in the first place. Gave him a chance when he first took over as manager. But his tactics, substitutions, results etc were appalling. Now it's just the media circus.
The club needs a reset. Ideally with a new - football/club focused - manager.

If we do stay up it'll be by the skin of our teeth.  I'm half-expecting that next season we'll be visiting my wife's team in League One, but there's a little bit of me that's still hopeful we can stay up.  But no matter what happens, there need to be some major changes at Pride Park.  The squad needs refreshing in a big way, because this season there have been too many occasions where the passion and pride in the shirt have been severely lacking.  Rooney is in over his head as a manager at this level and needs to go, and we need certainty and stability with regards to the off-pitch financial dealings.  If we also get a points deduction, then I'd expect at least two full seasons stuck in League One before we come back up (one suffering from the deduction and then hopefully spring back up at the end of season 2).

So the 2 main culprits have been given a fine and are already back in the team and playing like nothing happened, but the passenger who's already suffered the most is now being threatened with being sacked? Sure he's the captain and should know better, but if you're exploring the possibility of sacking him then you should have probably done that with the other 2 as well.
