Why did that upset you?? He obviously sold the stuff that was worth buying and kept the crud he couldn’t offload 

Had prob used the Forest shirts to wash his car and wipe his ar*e 

Can you imagine the social media meltdown for Franny Lee scoring that goal at Maine Road and his celebration ?

Don’t understand all this faux respect not celebrating scoring against your old teams

Try and get Lee Grant back from Man United going to be a free agent soon. A lot better keeper than Roos. 

No thanks was in bad form when he left as i recall we couldn't believe our luck Stoke paid cash for him and hardly played for years. Still have nightmares about him punching the ball into his own net V Wolves and Leeds .

Fred Motson might also have become a Derby fan, whilst he was at Repton School. His Dad used to take him out for Sunday lunch at the Bull's Head, if he'd commentated in the area, the day before.

Which was run by ex Ram Rex Osman ( Dad of Russell ) for many years 

Centenary Bass Beer that survived unopened. As I recall the ones I drunk were pretty tasty

Yup, and I'm by no means saying that Derby can't be an established EPL club but, in order:

1: Leicester were not £60m in debt, under transfer embargo, without filed accounts and coming off a season where they were three minutes from being relegated when they were bought. Indeed Vichai became a fan after watching them in the 1997 League Cup Final, not sure there are too many billionaires around who saw us at Wembley as their first game.

2: Sorry, but Leicester is a bigger city than Derby and with a much wider hinterland than us, stretching across to East Anglia and down to Northants.

3: They got there first, yes that could have been us but when the deal for Leicester went through in 2010 there was so much less of a gap than there is now.

4: The Leicester owners are, by pretty much all's acceptance, an anomaly in the modern game - there for the city and the club (for reasons I don't quite understand but still).

Life is unfair maybe, but it didn't happen to us and it's much more unlikely than ever to happen now.

Never mind the fact that Leicester went into Admin and have never paid back their creditors and went up by breaking FFP. It’s all sweetness and light at the KP

He has a way to go to be above Pickering for me??‍♂️, longston was the most successful owner in our history so hard to beat 

And the one who let the siren voices get to his head and let Brian go. Both at fault to an extent lots of pride and ego’s in play and others stirring the pot. 
Could also be said that DCFC spent beyond their means under Sam and George Hardy. 
Football is never simple

No, you're thinking of John McGovern's 25 yarder vs Liverpool!

Or Charlie’s 1st at home and away v Real or Zak v Benfica or Gladys v Arsenal possibly Frannie v Man City. So many to choose from ?

Runner-up for me.  Preferred Newton's in the same game.  ?

Simon Jordan not sounding too optimistic about Derby’s outcome with the EFL. Linking financial errors with FFP and possible severe sanctions.

Critical of Mel with the stadium evaluation.

Also critical of Steve McClaren. ‘Christ, some of the things he’s had his hands on...’

And Rooney who in his eyes should not be manager.

Not saying Jordan is infallible but he does have a fairly good take on running football clubs.

Pretty much opposite of what he was saying a few months back re stadium , Mel and FFP.

Novichok our first signing in the transfer window! You heard it here first.

Is the poison dwarf on our recruitment staff ? ?

When we beat Forest 5-0 they were under embargo with a team of loans from Chile and all over the shop. We were on the crest of a wave . We are not laughing now. 

They are not in a much better state than we are and likely to get worse looking at the last set of financial results and ageing bloated squad. Be even better if the law catches up with the owner 

Just now, Tamworthram said:

I know keepers age better than outfield players but at 38 he’s even older than Marshall.

And hardly played any games for years. 
His form for us after coming back from injury was dreadful. Can remember we thanked our lucky stars that Stoke were willing to pay money to take him off our hands. 
Was decent for a while after his 2nd return but would hope we could do better than Lee now .

Lee grant is being released by United. Anybody else take him on a free? He’d easily be first choice.

No thanks still remember him punching them in his own net for fun v Wolves and Leeds

With all this talk from Liddle today and every other tit with an opinion about deducting us points now and relegating us.  Can we have back the promotion QPR nicked from us when they were spending 4 x what they were bringing in and we were as in the black as it's possible to be in this league. Far as I recall they were allowed to go up.

Include Villa in this as well smashed FFP to pieces and would have been hit hard if they hadn’t stayed up via a tech and Var fault.

The EFL is not responsible for our accounts The auditors are not responsible for our accounts. The directors are. And if the DC accepts the LAP’s very damning version of our weasel-y conduct, then there’s every chance of a points deduction for breaching the rules by filing non-compliant accounts in a very shabby fashion. 

Which bit and by whom were we praised for being open and honest then ? Surely we can’t weaselly and open and honest ?

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but the only free agent we signed in the previous 12 months was Ibe whom has played how many minutes for the club? Think MTW was also a free signing, both have turned out to be unmitigated disasters - at least MTW actually played a few games compared with Ibe.

As I said something radically different has to change in out recruitment.

CKR ?

Not directed at yourself per se but how many years have I heard that line trotted out in false expectation.

Something radically has to change for this summer to be any different to the last one and the one before ad infinitum.

Covid has radically changed the financial landscape for all football clubs ,league and non-league this year. With the exception of Prem and clubs with parachute payments i think a lot of clubs will be restructuring playing staff and wages where they can . Saw Bristol City release a lot of players  last week even with their "billionaire" owner and reports that this year could be hundreds of free agent footballers on the market. 

As you say remains to be seen but i think this summer transfer window will be like no other we have seen in regards to players being released.
