This seems the most viable option, although I'm surprised to read that we have no recourse to appeal? 
Whatever the punishment, we really need to know where the line is going to be for survival. Ironic that the overspending on the likes of Bradley Johnson, Jacob Butterfield, Darren Bent and others is going to be left to a bunch of 18-20 year old academy players to pick up the pieces.

Hello Kieran

He was definitely the lad at school that would remind the teacher that there was homework due in at the very end of a lesson.

The financial side of football really does bore me to tears. How can a Bristol City, presumably with a life outside of the internet, willingly want to get into nitty gritty of the finances of a club that has absolutely no link to his own other than they’re in the same division? It seems very strange. 
The laughable thing is that this club is literally running on fumes. We are completely potless. Do they think we’re doing them a disservice in some way? The club is as close to death as it possibly can be at this level — and could’ve been tipped over the edge after relegation. I would’ve thought even as a self-professed financial investigator there would be more egregious things to monitor than the slowly rotting corpse of Derby County. 

It's the Hope that kills you...

I'd take Fawaz all day, every day and twice on Sunday over Erik Alonso. Make it happen. 

Football is dead fun isn’t it? What a lot of poo.

In the thread 'Rooney In', @Highgate argued one of the reasons we should dispense with Rooney's services is:
"Sacking him will mean we won't have to look at the 'Wayne Rooney's DCFC fans' anymore."
To the mods.... Help us reclaim our club. Even if we must have a celebrity in the managerial hot seat, and it seems we must, then at least let this forum lead the way in showing the world that the club is bigger than any individual.
Derby County Football Club.
Then we can say things like "DCFC's manager Wayne Rooney..... needs to get wins".

I agree with what's been said, almost word-for-word, but what can the fans realistically do? 
Morris wants to leave so badly that he's willing to sell to literally anyone. We've got no one really running the club. I mean, it's the end of the season and we can't even buy tickets for next season yet? We support a football club where the football has been a secondary issue for the past 12 months. It's so difficult to enjoy at the moment. The NFL season was a happy distraction for a small period before the new year, but since that's finished and I've only had Derby to focus on I've become so bitter towards the club and the whole sport in general.
I wish I could take a break from everything Derby County until the club starts taking itself seriously again. It's not that easy.

Agree with a lot of what you are posting there, although I still retain some trust that Mel will get it sorted. I think he has been more unlucky than irresponsible, but things don't look great currently.
I don't agree with criticising @therams69 /Nick for claiming to be a super fan, or a self-appointed spokesman for all fans. I don't know Nick at all, but he is not an anonymous keyboard warrior, but someone who actually tries to do things and make things better.
As @Ambitious says though, what can we realistically do? Mel is trying to get out and sell the club. I think I'd rather him stay until he can sell to someone trustworthy.

Rooney: "Regardless of where we are at my future is at Derby County. I am never one to walk away from a challenge."

Can someone please superimpose Mel's face on this? 
Thank you. 

Whatever happens, relegation or survival, he needs to be gone. I'm not sure I can stomach another Rooney-led Derby County for another year, along with more talk of financial instability and ownership issues. 

If you take the hair away and the baseball cap, he looks like Sam Rush
