Rab a dab doo Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 The EFL are well known for making very 'shrewd', well informed and thought out decisions. So employing people like Parry and listening to Gibson's moaning's should come as no surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting when the next accounts come out to see how much of the £80m Derby County have actually received... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EFL in my opinion are running scared of making a decision as it would have to be 100% water tight. Seems we have had guidance from the EFL along the years and that will ultimately bite them on the arsenal. Because of gibson our good name been drag through the dirt because of this.

It's funny becaus the premier league is made up of 20 of the current best teams in England, but 60% of those wouldnt be fit to lace the boots of the likes of Derby, Leeds, Sheff Weds, Sunderland, Dirty Dogs. Bournemouth, Watford, Brighton, Burnley, Norwich off the top of my head, non of which are big clubs, but you cannot argue with their recent record (being a bit harsh to Norwich who have been consistently better than Derby for many years).

I agree with you, personally. Being in the higher league at the moment, or having the most money doesn't make you the biggest club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everton for me are a bigger club than Man City. They'd won less than us in the last 50 years till recently. Chelsea aren't a big club , A club that there fans would think should be in the top division granted, but till Matthew Harding they'd only ever won a turnip at the local raffle compared to some Liverpool, Man Utd etc. Seeing as Arsenal owe there promotion in 1919 to Derby County we must be huge.

So it's all about the brand... luckily Apple is not a football team, their supporters are even more brand loyal to shitty product than Notts forest fans.

angieram Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I am with @B4ev6is on his comments about the club. The media might not like us, but generally speaking, supporters of other clubs we meet at away days are complimentary of DCFC and their history and tradition. I think it does still count for something amongst match-attending fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've grown to hate the money side of football. I realise it's professional sport, and that the money is vital, but I still think it's just gone nuts. Sad thing is, there are Derby fans, well, fans of all clubs, who want their team to do well, get promoted etc etc . Exactly as it should be, but there are some who only seem to want that to happen because it means MORE money. It's like chasing the money has become more important than the actual game itself. I suppose the truth is, that it has. I was 16 when we last won the league. I don't remember even for a second , thinking about the financial side of it. Maybe it's an age thing !
