Derby to win.

2/1 to the rams.

First scorer will be Corey Blackett-Taylor.

Is it me or does it always seem to be a defender. This season why not NML. For me he was the surprise package and he’s been so effective with assists and a few goals. Plus a crowd favourite and a regular. 

My vote is for Mendez.

Derby to win this one. 
I can see a few goals going in. I’ll go for 3/2 to the rams. First scorer … Sibley.

I reckon Paul Clement was the last one who got us there around Christmas 2015 - remember us playing at Leeds just after Christmas & we were top then. So just over 8 years since we could last sing that

Don't believe Rowett ever had us top but sure McClaren did in 14/15 before the collapse. Previous to that, Billy Davies had us top for a period in 06/07 before Sunderland & Small Heath overtook us late on. Jim Smith also had us top for a lot of 95/96 before Sunderland again pipped us

 

Great info. Just as I thought. 8 years! It’s about time isn’t it. If we can just  overhaul Pompey and stave off Bolton.

Win again. This time 2/1.

first scorer … NML.

Can I just throw this one in there. 

I’m not a Paul warne fan, but I strongly agree with Clowes that we need stability and the shocking fact is that Paul warne is about to become the 4th longest serving manager since Jim smith. Doesn’t sound that great I suppose but considering we have had 25 managers in that period I think that probably tells you something about how bad we have been at retaining talent at that level.

I have already said he needs this full season and then we can make a judgement. I stick by that. The guy needs until May at least.

COYR.

Can someone help me. I would like to know the last time DCFC were “top of the league”. I mean one of the EFL leagues, not the Johnson’s paint trophy qualifying league or anything like that. 

I guess I’m thinking it’s about time we actually finally got there. But perhaps - like I suppose lots of football fans - I’m forgetting a recent time when we were top (possibly only for a few weeks??). 

It’s about time our fans can sing about being top. Don’t you all think?

I am also be interested in how many times we’ve been too of the league since, say our first premier league season (was that 1996/7???)

thanks for you help. No other reason than I’m just curious.

Derby to Win 2/1.

blacket Taylor to score first.

We will win this one.

3/0. Collo first again for us.

We lose today 0/2.

no rams goals scorer.

We grind out a win this time

I will say 2/1. First scorer mr reliable for goals, aka Collins.

The club purchase was an acquisition of assets not shares I believe which presumably allows revaluation ? 
 

Rental agreed under the stadium lease between the club and 202 would determine how losses are shared between the two companies 

The assets are worth whatever was paid for them. The valuation of those assets doesn’t have to be what was on the books of the previous company. However, the accounting policy on the valuation of a player via the length left on a contract might be similar to that on the previous company. 
 

The intangible asset here is possibly Bieliks contract. However this asset, in my view should have been significantly impaired. The carrying value which I’m assuming is around £2m seems too big especially given that he was later moved on to Birmingham at a price much less than £2m. So there must be other players within that valuation.

We just need more detail, we’re just guessing here.

He was only on loan last year, the actual sale occurred in July 2023, which is well after the year-end date in these accounts.  So I assume that accounts for the lack of disposal. 

And I can't see what else it could have been anyway, of the only guys we've paid real money for in the last few years (Lawrence, Jozwiak and Bielik), he was the only one left when we were sold.

No, on regelation you’re probably right. But that does mean that Bielik has a carrying value of £2m in our accounts. 
 

I suspect we made a loss on disposal of him then, which might offset anything we made on knight.

I’m afraid we might lose this one
