    I don’t even know where to begin with this
    Are you suggesting you don’t have massive losses or that they’re somehow overblown?

    Augustus got a reaction from PistoldPete in Malcolm Ebiowei yeah? Gone to C Palace.   
    We're in for him apparently. Is he any good? Can't say I've heard of him to be honest.

    ?
    So because 6 years ago when the fan's patience had been finally worn we got under 16k it means we couldn't easily surpass 30k now? Brilliant.
    Lots can happen in 6 years, Derby of all clubs should know that..

    Would the EFL permit Derby to continue with the massive losses it has currently, while being propped up in some zombie state from local business? 
    Who are these businesses? I hope you get this Appleby bid over the line but the scenario you just outlined seems unrealistic.

    Which I'm actually glad about. Don't want you lot to go under. Can't speak for all fans but I couldn't give a flying about Leicester to be honest, as much as they want to create something.
    A few years down in the lower leagues might sort you out though, and I've seen quite a few comments in your main forum and on social media about walking promotion. League One is a hell of a tough league and you'll either start on -15 or have the budget to only sign unwanted/non league standard players, or both. Can't see you coming back anytime soon even if we drop back down next year.

    Genuine question now:
    Who will finish higher in their respective league, Derby or Forest?
    We'll struggle I'm sure and I'd rip your arm off now for 17th, so will Derby finish higher than 17th?*
     
    *in League One obviously, doesnt count if you're put down into the Vanarama North and rip it up.

    Still actually paid though didn't they...unlike all the Toyota and Bombardier staff getting in for free each week ?

    Righto
    The second watershed was the sale of Oliver Burke earlier this year. The teenager had inspired three home wins in August alone and there was a small flicker of hope. The sale of Burke extinguished not only any hope for the season, but also all remaining support for the ownership. Without hope, the gates began to fall once again – down to 15,864 against Preston just recently – the worst attendance since the League One days.
    A long-standing (and now former) season ticket holder told me that he had accepted that Forest had become a mere feeder club. He complained that any quality player would be quickly snapped up by richer teams after a handful of games. I could completely see his point and there’s no doubt that the sales of Burke and Michail Antonio must’ve persuaded many other fans to reassess their priorities if even the ownership was lacking ambition.

    Attendances in the last few years have been very good, particularly when we all pay for our tickets and don't get them free with phone contracts, or local schools and businesses (Toyota) being given 1000s of freebies. ?

    Plenty of players will be coming in  don't worry.
    With what we'll be spending this summer we could buy your entire club 2 or 3 times over.

    Nobody sensible would suggest 50k.
    I think if the capacity was 40k we'd sell out more often than not though in the top flight, or at least be regularly hitting 37k+.
     
    One things for sure, what we have at the moment isnt enough.

    Could be worse though Derby. Your Premier League keeper might be asking for more money ?

    If Kirchner indeed hasn't been bankrolling the club since 7th May, you have to wonder why nothing has been said or leaked until this morning. It really would be on Quantuma to explain why they allowed that situation to continue.

    We basically gave the league a 21 point head start as well with Hughton in charge and still walked promotion.  
    Just trying to think if any other clubs needed to make back 21 points and how they got on...

    It's a bit of morbid curiosity I suppose, like driving past a car crash and not being able to resist looking.
