    Wonder if a possible scenario is payment in full if reach PL, meanwhile an agreed percentage.
    If I was buying would want a full and final settlement now though.

    As a tax payer I'd rather not invite lots of businesses to think they can shirk their responsibilities. 
    Honestly I think a lot of it will be down to the attitude of the business towards their debts. If the tax man thinks we're pulling a fast one I'm sure they'll be much less likely to meet us half way.

    You don't have to be born perfect to know you shouldn't be chanting what was about Billy Sharp ?

    It seems everybody in this forum agrees that the is vile and embarrassing behaviour at Bramall Lane by some Derby fans was unacceptable.
    Of course a few won't really, but I highly doubt they will have the guts to say so in here.
    A lot of people are growing to dislike us as much as Leeds were disliked in the 70s (and ever since tbf) and other clubs at various times like Millwall, Man U and Hope Valley Under-15s. Although the last one may be more personal tbf.
    What Morris has been doing it entirely out of our control, but what those around us do, isn't.
    For example, if a particular abusive chants start up, the majority could respond with something counter.
    I don't mean Kumbaya, although that may very well work, or Imagine by John Lennon, although that too may work, but something like 'your're knobs and know you are etc'
    Not that, clearly, that's lame, but something agreed on.
    Plus, if fans en masse started filming the morons on their phones and the word had been put out that they'd be reporting to the club and/or Police it may help.
    Obviously, I don't want anybody getting hurt, so be careful. And I'm happy to hold somebody's coat at the back if required.
    Back in Cornwall that is.
    We have to make these people thoroughly unwelcome because whereas they may not care when they're high or drunk, they will be after and/or before.
    What they are doing is often illegal, and in all seriousness, it is up to us to do something about it if it's to change.
    I almost want to adopt Millwalls chant of 'Nobody likes us and we don't care' but I'd be lying, I do care and I'd like Derby to be admired and respected rather than despised and mocked.
