I just wonder how much compensation doctors, nurses, teachers, shop workers to name but a few essential workers get after suffering covid19 whilst working. Probably nothing ? and yet a footballer,who let's face it was offered a decent amount of money for doing next to nothing and getting the best possible treatment for his injury for which he was partly responsible gets over 2million in compensation.  Absolutely crazy, madness. I just don't get it!

Anyone go to Hector’s last game at the BBG? Was it Watford who we’re going to be promoted? 3-2 with Kev scoring the winner? Or have I dreamed all that?

The one and only Charlie George.
Anyone who gets a hat-trick against Real Madrid is very special!

Apparently there is a club that has an alleged drug dealer , mobster , bakery burner and match fixer as chairman so it’s all good as far as the EFL are concerned 

David Nish 

There doesnt seem to be any rules against chairman who like to intimidate referees with the odd occasional fire bomb.
I reckon we are golden with murder.

Lot of assumptions being thrown around.
A big assumption by the media (and the EFL) that by EFL winning their case and forcing us to restate accounts that this means we will breach the £39m limit and be subject to a points deduction. Club and people on here that have crawled through the finances seem confident we’re actually within the limit, therefore no points deduction and this EFL appeal has been a complete waste of everyone’s time.
Another assumption that Mel is going to stop funding us if (should now say when) this takeover doesn’t go through. Even the Mail are conceding Mel will stand behind the club until a buyer is found.
No points deduction, Mel still in situe, pride park open for business again meaning the much needed return of our main revenue stream, a vastly reduced wage bill, hopefully we can start operating within our means. As for the playing squad, with some wheeler dealing and Bielik coming back during the season, should be enough to put a team together capable of survival even with Rooney in charge.
As for any aspirations next season, anything above 21st is a bonus. My expectations have certainly been reset and hopefully as we start getting revenues back on stream and a bit more stable, a credible buyer will come in to try and take us forward.

Kevin Hector, I was 8 years old when Derby got promoted to the 1st division under Cloughie. My dad used to get me and my 6 year old brother reciting the teams names till we knew them all off by heart. Hector was always my favourite and he was criminally overlooked to play for England in favour of the London boys. I remember him coming on late in the game against Poland and almost scoring when we failed to qualify for the World Cup. In recent years it’s Will Hughes, was gutted when he got sold. 

That'll mean the return of the orange kit then?!

Charlie George for me

This man the best defender i have ever witnessed in 60 years:
 

Only way they could possibly sanction us in this instance is if it was found we deliberately misled them. I believe this panel has said we acted honestly and truthfully.
Therefore no they can’t. If we are within the £39m limit we won’t get a points deduction.

When we lost the great McFarland for a season and were going to be stuck with a reserve who'd been with the club a decade but hardly ever played, I was devastated and extremely sceptical. Yet with this fella playing in central defence, we won the league!

How brilliant Peter Daniel turned out to be that season.

What happened to the other two is irrelevant in my eyes (but clearly not in the eyes of the tribunal) - They were fined by the club and punished accordingly in the courts. It still doesn't sit well with me that they played away at Barnsley two games later but I've got over it.
Keogh was offered a taxi paid for by Derby County
Refused and got a lift in his mates car knowing he was drunk
Didn't wear a seatbelt
Crashed and got injured
Was unable to carry out the works in his contract
Was very kindly offered £5k a week to sit at home and recover and rehabilitate with the club
Refused and was sacked. (Rightly in my eyes)
The fact that he has sued the club that paid him so handsomely for 8 years, in the middle of a pandemic sums the bloke up.
I'd have like to have thought that Mel and Pearce did the due diligence before sacking him but we already know they are incapable of running a football club.
What angers me so much about this is Keogh's lack of remorse and that he doesn't see that he was in the wrong at all. His thick as pig muck agent said as much on Talksport at the time and his wife changed her instagram bio to "married to a professional scapegoat". He got offered £5k a week to rehabilitate for free with the club which was brought about because of poor decisions he made whilst drunk on a team bonding night for heavens sake!!
If I was Mel I would send an Eddie Stobart round to Keogh's filled with 1ps and 2ps to pay him.
I cannot wait to for Huddersfield at home (and away if possible) next season to give Captain Calamity the reception he deserves.

We won under employment law. This was the EFL rules we fell foul of.

It’s fact but wasn’t against the rules at the time ( would be now as EFL changed this after ) just like selling the stadium to yourself isn’t. It’s just “creative “ . Just makes Gibson a hypocrite in my eyes happy to use the ( lack of )  rules for himself but cry when someone else has the temerity to do it. If I was him I’d be bollocking my financial guys for not thinking of it themselves. 
Not having a go at you @Pearl Ram at all just pointing out that a lot of other clubs have been “creative “ as you put it not just DCFC .
Hope that makes sense COYR 
 

Plenty of other clubs have been more than creative in recent years Boro , Leicester , QPR ( which affected us directly) , Wolves , Reading , Sheff Wed , Leeds , Wolves , Forest , Watford , Villa , Bournemouth come to mind without even thinking hard about it. 

I would imagine the Keogh issue is far from done.
Hopefully we can appeal and then neither the EFL nor Keogh can challenge the next ruling. 
I imagine we can even appoint our own people to hear the appeal.
This is how it works isnt it?

David Nish 

I was not happy when we swapped Lee Mills who got a lot of goals the previous year for Van Der Laan. Turned out he became possibly my favourite ever player. 

£10k fine to make the efl happy, but we start the season with + 15 points to make up for all of our transfer embargoes over the last year or so.

The EFL push for a retrospective 12 point deduction for last season followed by a 21 point deduction next season
The commission settle on a £200k fine

I'm going for a fine of 225k..

The rules were only ever introduced to stop someone else doing a Man City and gatecrashing the top table. Any talk of keeping football sustainable was absolute hogwash.

2 were still able to play , 1 rendered himself unable to play . If all three were either fit or unfit i am sure all 3 would have had the same sanctions.
