    Agreed. Literally no one in this photo is still part of the club.

    Yep agree  I was there in the mid 60's and this is the worst I have ever known. It's so cruel on the fans and the club. Owners should be held to account at all times. But we will bounce back

    Agreed. 12 points is recoverable if there isn't a fire sale in Jan. Maybe 16 points at a push. Imagine the scenes if we managed it.

    Totally agree.I remain 100% optimistic I refuse to sink into all doom and gloom..the team need us to give them belief that we can and will stay up and I will not think about relegation until it becomes a mathematical certainty..personally I am confident we will stay up as long as the EFL get off our backs..

    He won't remember FFP and administration, he will remember all the things you mentioned in your first paragraph. The atmosphere at the Stoke game was very positive and will be v Reading and Swansea.

    Take him, took my son at5, now 34 a nd just started taking his 4 year old son. They are expecting a little girl and i hope we will have a club to take her to at 4.

    I just want to say that I am a realist and I know the likelihood involved, but if we're admitting defeat and saying relegation is a certainty only 8 games into the season, we might as well fold the club now
    You've got to believe it can be done. A bit of wild hope never hurt anyone. If we've got this defeatist attitude already, don't be surprised to get tonked every game now until the end of the season. How can the players have any belief if we as the fans don't?
    Call me an idiot if you like but come on. Let's give it a try, no?

    Derby were also in serious financial trouble in 1984 - less than a decade after the second of their Division One title wins - when former chairman Stuart Webb was a member of the board, and he criticised Morris' decision to "walk away" from the current situation.
    "We worked relentlessly to keep the club alive which in the end we were able to do," Webb told BBC Radio Derby.
    "We all worked together to keep it going but at this point it looks as though it's come to the end, and that really is worrying for everyone. Once the administrator is appointed, then we'll really find out what the extent of the problems is and how it's going to be dealt with, and that's not going to be pleasant."
    Under Morris, the only other board members were company secretary Stephen Pearce and former Derby captain and manager Roy McFarland.
    Webb added: "Mel Morris came in as a highly successful businessman but was clueless about the running of a football club. You need experienced people who can manage a huge business. You need to get the club on an even footing and if you go deeper down into a financial mire, take advice but don't walk away."

    Just noticed (if not already mentioned) it's "Admin Andy" of previous Pompey fame (Andrew Andronikou), so at least they have some experience.

    When you look at it like that, with 38 games still to play that's not impossible to overturn. We need to effectively make up 9 points. 
    The thing that will likely kill us off though is a combination of further sanctions and asset stripping.

    An interview with me will be on Radio Derby between 6 and 7 this evening. I'm not going to go into the gift a ticket idea, just going to encourage people to go and bring others

    Our household is isolating and wont be able to go to the Reading game.  I would be happy to gift our seats rather than them be empty.  One adult, one under 12.  Obviously this doesn't add to the clubs income but might encourage someone to but Swansea tickets after.

    Convinced an old mate to get a ticket for Reading. He generally makes about 3 games a season but he's committed to home games until Christmas at least.
    I reckon he'll get the bug and be chasing away fans back to the station in no time. He's 62.

    Historically,  apparently you don’t even have to show proof of funds if you want to buy the club.

    I certainly bear him no ill will, I just fail to understand why he has gone down this route, if he is as big a fan as he says he is?
    I don't think his Radio Derby interview has done him any favours at all, it was about as successful as Prince Andrew's TV interview with Emily Maitliss (except the night at Pizza Express), and look where that got him - sent to Coventry!

    Reading & Swansea tickets ARE available to season ticket holders. I ordered, received and printed mine yesterday with £0.00 charge as expected. Nothing has changed from the previous games.
