It's good that past critics are starting to appreciate him. I've always felt that the main criticisms have been exaggerated, and sometimes people have doubled-down on them to save face. I don't understand that attitude. Now, with so many young left-sided defenders coming through, there's allot that he can pass on to them about playing at this level.
He's always struck me as a decent bloke too.

Fozzy always give 100 percent what been throught Derby stuck by him now he is sticking by Derby now.

Been a great servant to Derby, think the fact that we’ve had so many managers and he seems to be played by all of them shows his character. Fought back from a few serious injuries and still plays just Aswell, yes he has a mistake in him but so does everyone in the championship that’s why he’s a championship player 

The bloke who sits next to me hates him and over the years has never stopped berating him - till this season, he’s mellowed no end thankfully, Fozzy has long been my unsung hero. 
A colleague knows him and his wife and says that he is a genuinely lovely man personally too. 

Lol he launched that at him. Swear he was so bored of Swansea doing nothing he just had a go. 

Not too far away from a testimonial. 
Always liked Fozzy and as some have said, his experience is invaluable for us this season. He is now our Mr Derby County. He's seen a hell of a lot of change at the club in the time he's been here, suffered with some terrible injuries but has always been fit/focussed enough to bounce back. 
Definitely needs his own song, this season more than any other. 

Assuming the club are smart, and will send ST cards with the same address in one go, its still probably circa 8k in postage. If they are not smart and go card by card, its 16k in cost. Right now, that's a lot of money and time.
They should ask fans to collect their cards (up to a date), and in return, say you'd sell an additional ticket for half price to the next game as a reward. 
I'd pick up my season ticket just out of good will.

I hope he was wrong too and not meaning to shoot the messenger but, why would the father of an ex player know enough about the financial situation to question what the administrator is saying publicly? I doubt even the current players know a great deal more than most.

The more I hear from the administrators the more I fear all isn't as it seems and all isn't going to be as rosey as they are trying to suggest.
I overhead someone at the gym, a father of an ex Derby player saying Derby are in a much bigger mess than the administrators are letting on.
I really hope he is wrong and I am wrong.

Or the administrators could maybe say you won the amortisation case because Derby didn't have an accountant expert to defend it. We are accountants so you try it again and see how far it gets you.

I wonder if the administrators will try and strike a deal based on saying the following, at least as a starting point:
"Give us zero or very few points for the P&S loss and in return, we won't appeal the administration under the force majeure for Covid"
I'm sure the EFL wouldn't fancy us being the benchmark case for Covid otherwise, if they lost it, they would be in a lot of trouble.

Exactly. If Lawrence had killed someone when he went off the road he would have gone to jail and lost his job. He would have suffered for the consequence sof his actions.  Keogh injured himself so suffered the consequences of his actions.. he cannot expect Derby to compensate him for that... although according to Percy he has been.

It’s a faff, we paid for a season ticket, not a seasons worth of printing tickets from home. 
why can’t they just re register the old cards?

Only if you have a smart phone or access to a printer which has been discussed at length a lot of the older generation don’t necessarily have. No idea how much it costs to programme a season card but presumably the turnstiles have to be programmed for individual games anyway.

Newcastle and Sunderland have that part of the country pretty much to themselves, which I think helps to explain their continuing strong levels of support. 

It’s all an act though.

Yeah, they also have an extremely negative view of everything connected with club. 
Anyone who saw Bielik play last season and still thinks we overpaid for him is having a laugh.
Whether we should have spent that kind of money is a different issue.

Are you sure you're not talking about Keogh?
No class and pure ruthlessness would have been sacking them all (which would be 5 players, not just the main 3), not trying to find a solution to suit the circumstances. Offering someone a reduced wage, free rehabilitation and a chance to make amends to the club, the fans, their teammates etc isn't being classless and ruthless.
No class and ruthlessness is taking an offer (one which in reality was more generous than anyone should expect given their actions) -  playing the martyr about how you feel pressured into accepting it, laughingly complaining that it "didn't feel like a negotiation" (it bloody well shouldn't have been you entitled berk!)  - rejecting it and effectively suing the person who put it in front of you because you see an opportunity to make some money.
No class and ruthlessness is taking that money whilst the club you profess to love is in administration and people on a normal wage (still less than you would have been offered) are losing their jobs.
No class and ruthlessness is never accepting any culpability for your actions, never apologising to anyone.
Some call Rowett The Snake, but Keogh & his agent are lower than a snake's belly.

Eh? Are people forgetting that Keogh got himself injured? So they didn't 'all do the same' - Keogh made himself useless to DCFC. The others did a very silly thing but were still capable of playing. 
With regard to Mutu - yes, Chelsea successfully sued him for the £15m.
 

I’d say that being treated equally doesn’t mean equal outcomes. Players who were able to fulfil their contractual obligations and play were kept on. Players who were not able to fulfil their contractual obligations through no fault of the club were offered reduced terms but ultimately let go. Dressing up as gross misconduct muddies the water, but as this was only tested in a pretend EFL court, not a proper industrial tribunal, we still don’t know if it was a reasonable position for the club (and Mel) to take. 
 
Personally, I think he’s got his money and his beef is more with Mel than DCFC, so it’d be better if he went away rather than trying to stir up a national press pity party with his compo face and £2m in the week that twenty normal people got made redundant. 

They didn't all do the same thing, in the law books.
Others were in charge of, and driving vehicles whilst over the drink-drive limit.
They subsequently had convictions, fines, bans, public service orders, so there were clear legal parameters on the record for those prosecutions.
In a sense, they 'paid' for their crimes - whilst (as others have said!) Derby ended up paying for Keogh's misdemeanours, lack of judgement, poor leadership, whatever -  in more ambiguous areas of judgement - and that the EFL process contrived to find in his favour.
Keogh was an average player, a loyal journeyman defender, who only ever held The Brian Clough Trophy in his hand as a Ram.
He's beyond contempt for the impact his neglectful, brainless behaviour caused the club, in financial and squad morale terms overall.
 
 
 

For Richard Keogh , the EFL, Mel Morris , Steve Gibson , Wycombe Wanderers , Simon Jordan the message is simple Just Duck off the lot of you

Is he being sarcastic? An enormous honour? An enormous pain in the backside more like 

A mystery British interest you say..... ?
