What is the truth? Or is it a mixture of the two? Ok, there was an investigation which we are none the wiser over, legal reasons they cannot go into. The club wasn't happy with performances on the pitch, style of football and the results. The club and Pearson both said it wasn't working out and mutually agreed to part ways before the investigation was completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legal department? What are they counting as abuse here? This whole police investigating people for mean tweets thing needs to stop and I don't want DCFC to have anything to do with it. Depending on what is posted it can be a criminal offence and needs to be investigated. If a law is broken why shouldn't the clubs legal team be involved? Personally I think it's good that people can no longer hide from the consequences of their actions by posting under an alias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall any under Clement or Pearson. Punjabi Rams brought the subject up which sparked a quick discussion how useful they were for both fans and the club and Sam I think said they would resume again next month. I'm not sure if this was already planned or a result of last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for clearing that one up before I go to the pub for a pre match drink and have to listen to 20 different opinions on what has happened. No doubt I'll hear about drones and fights and may be a bit of hanky panky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 OK so I'm quite new here and I didn't realise this forum was actually acknowledged by the club. I thought we were just chatting. I'd like to offer an unreserved apology to our manager Steve Mcclaren for referring to him as a douche (likeable douche), making fun of the tuft, and for suggesting he'd eaten Ready Brek in reference to his hair 'glowing' from his head. I'd like to put on record that I like Steve Mcclaren and I'm glad he's here. I also very much appreciate what Mr Morris has done for Derby and I wouldn't swap him or Mr Rush for anyone.

Haha, it would be very hypocritical of me to subscribe into something I don't believe in, and have been challenging since the days when the RT was trying to get a seat on the board. I'd rather MM did his own thing and concentrated on getting that right, rather than organising things like this every time a group starts to get critical of him. Hope it works, but for me I don't want somebody representing my view via a supporter committee, and I'd be suprised that once the novelty of thinking you may get picked wears off, if you don't see this forum return to the brekky wars debacle that followed once the elect few had posted Mels thoughts.

I also think the concourses need to be made more Personalised (call it "Personalisation" - it's a concept that is very much part of the zeitgeist in health and wellbeing inititives) to the fans...instead of bland walls there should be art-work on the walls, grafitti and memorabilia, the opportunity for fans to record their feelings "on the spur of the moment" so that an archive of memories of the match-moments are captured for posterity.. I think that sounds a great idea, I imagine getting it to work well might be trickier than it sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwram1973 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 3 hours ago, David said: My thoughts are to reopen a board on the forum similar to the club suggestions, one that would be used to submit any questions, raise issues or suggestions to take to the club. As for building relationships I don't want myself and Scott to be seen as cosying up to the club creating similar issues that we saw after Moor Farm visits. You will know Revel that prior to meeting you before the first Moor Farm visit that we had no prior contact yet was seen to be an "elite" member or up my...ahem. I would like 1 forum staff member be it myself or a moderator and one member from the forum decided by a voting process. This for me would be the fairest way possible IF we was to get 2 seats. As yet no numbers have been finalised, could have more or less yet. Tbh you and scott should go every time, with questions from the forum given to you both to ask at the meetings. Putting it to a vote could backfire, have you read some of the stuff on here lately, I can only imagine they cannot talk without dribbling . I wouldn't see it as cosying up to the club, and even if you were, so what?, anything to benefit the forum surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old debate about whether or not Derby County football club want to prosecute people for saying things they don't like? I was to aware this was a longstanding thing.
