thelovebelow got a reaction from Miggins in Stoke at home
Why is Morrison coming off. He helps control the game. Need that when defended a lead

thelovebelow got a reaction from David Graham Brown in Notice to appoint administrators
The statement was very carefully worded. It wasn't an accident covid 19 was mentioned so many times. It also states the club would have been profitable had it not been for covid. All intentional.
There is a section in the Efl according to the guardian that mentions special circumstances and administration.
A part of me thinks the deal with the investors might still go through and the whole thing is planned.
...Maybe I'm clutching at straws. Desperation does that to a person.

thelovebelow reacted to RadioactiveWaste in Rate Mels tenure from 1 to 10
13/14 - GSE's building finally bears fruit and we ahave a young competetive exciting team. Me goes "oh hello"
14/15 - A second go is derailed by injuries. Mel takes sole ownership. McLaren is sacked for disloyalty.
15/16 - An awful lot of Mel's money is burned on an unsuccessful attempt to get to the prem.
16/17 - Hendrick is sold against manager's wishes. Vydra and Anya come in to little effect. Peason is sacked very quickly. McLaren does a resuce job but is also sacked because ol Sankie has a charming smile.
17/18 - Tom ince and Will Huges are sold. Rowett does on a more limited budget reach the play offs. Derby fans see that rarest of phenominoms, a defense that knows what it's doing, for a season. Chairman Mel tells ol Snakie there's no money left. Before.......selling Vydra...and....
18/19 - sells himself Pride Park for substancially more than anyone previously thought it was worth. Then spends the money he paid himself on hiring Frank Lampard, loaning three very good prspects and signing some "not very good value" players for a last role of the dice.
19/20 - the need to be more rational flickers for a moment, Cocu is signed on a long term deal to bring through youth and start building towards sustainable sucess. moments before he also announces, "I've also signed Wayen Rooney on a really fancy sponsorship deal and promised him he gets to be mananger next" by the way, all the budget is in Wayne Rooney's wages. EFL "Issues" start to hover around.
20/21 - It's bad. Cocu is Sacked. It's still bad. We stay up on the last day. Thanks to a goal at Cardiff.
21/22 - into Admin.
Well, ultimatly, it's been a ride. Ultimatly, it's ended in disaster. If that were all there was to it, it'd be sad, but we'd all live with it.
BUT
This has not just been a ride.
This has been a story of ego, mismanagment, utter idiocy, poor decisions, and ultimatly, the fact that all this is a result of decisions Mel Morris has taken.
On a 1-10 scale it gets 1.
What is most rage inducing is that, with even a tiny bit of sense it couldve not worked out and ended as a 6-7 for trying and failing, it wasn't boring, but it did not need to end in disaster. Even now, as look down the barrel, it's decisions taken by Mel that have robbed us even of a chance to get something sorted.
OK 1 is too generous.

thelovebelow reacted to BucksRam in Embargo.
Have to say the more I read all this, and the longer this all goes on, I really do wonder if it is as simple as blind, childish obstinance on the EFL's part, whilst we're saying "look, I get you're not happy but legally we've done nothing wrong, so what you're asking us to do, well, much as we could do it, we can't actually legally do that so you'll just have to accept that the way we've done our accounts is legally correct, so put down your rattle, take your thumb out your mouth, stop whining and let us move on with our lives please".

Why do stop playing when we take the lead? We've lost loads of points with this flawed strategy.

thelovebelow got a reaction from I know nuffin in Rosenior
Let's imagine if the team were doing really well. I bet there would be a significant amount of fans crediting LR. It's all bias. No one really knows outside the club the dynamic of the coaching set up. Silly thread.
