Bigger problem is that if I stop, my wife would very quickly find a huge list of jobs I could do in it's place.....

When one player is asking for 500k a week which annually equates to the offers being made for the acquisition of our entire football club then you know things are just rotten to the core. 

The sport is broken. Somebody on here posted a lengthy explanation of why football was broken in their opinion and it was spot on. I'm done with it too tbh.

I can’t be bothered to go today. Or anymore for that matter. Football is lost to me. 
We anxiously wait for some rich person to bail us out. These person/persons have a plan involving making money. But no interest in Derby. At least Mel had a dream. He followed it and so did we. We could have made it. But didn’t.
But make what exactly? Joining a league of Rich men’s playthings. 
 
Billionaires are queuing up to buy Chelsea. Sky are more interested in a subscription from someone in South Korea than a season ticket holder in Southampton.
It not our game anymore, where just there for the sound effects.
Football sucks.

This idea that taking -15 and starting again doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. We assume we’ll be relegated and starting with virtually a new squad. There is no guarantee that we will not be relegated from div 1. Look where we are now. We have been given the task of making up 15 points on Reading and up to now we have managed 10. 
Willingly taking this option to get the team at a knock down price would mean probably a loss of revenue for the extra time in the doldrums that would far outweigh the benefits of getting us cheap.

Exactly. And it’s not just loss of revenue. Some players could possibly stay with us for next season… but if you tell them next season we get another points penalty I think possibly all players and the manager will decide they have had enough of that. This season has tested the patience of players enough brilliant though they have been.

Will give himself this headache when he can just go to Everton at the end of the season? Frank is really messing it up there.

I see a situation where Lampard takes Everton down gets sacked and Rooney keeps us up. The pressure Everton will exert on him to take him off is will be extreme. They’ll offer him a fortune and the cash the build the squad he wants. That will be a very difficult job to turn down.

The only conspiracy theory that makes any sense is the notion that some want this thread to get to 1000 pages. I've heard that reaching the thousand page milestone starts a bidding war between facebook and Twitter for the advertising rights.
It can be the only reason for the posting of such a massive amount of guff.
