Burnley buying Burnley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of them make money and if your strategy is get to the Prem and then sell - well Jesus, you won’t be in business for long. This is what confuses me - the only reason to buy a club is to have a toy. My sentiments exactly. What is the quickest way to become a millionaire? Take a billionaire and get them to buy a football club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy with that. I'd rather risk a mean Mel than unknown 'hedge-funders'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 What a strange week. Did the money ever arrive? did the players get paid? has the takeover gone through? has the takeover collapsed? how are our transfer plans progressing? Where has Rooney disappeared to? Is Mel still of this world? Why the total radio silence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roboto Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Site went down. Thought it meant something important had been announced. I was wrong. Still no news, and the only updates on here are repetitive and boring. The club won't announce anything until it's all complete or it's completely off. The speculation and/or hysteria from some fans is creating a negative spiral of rumours, not just for the takeover, but around the first team COVID situation, the rumours of players and their behaviour/mental wellbeing, the uncertainty of the January transfer window and whether we have a pot to piss in. Just give it a rest, no need to keep banging the drum. I can't wait for us to play so we can be distracted by an actual game of football. Perhaps the young lads will get a result and make a name for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps some fans are struggling themselves in lockdown and this is their outside contact so perhaps be a little more understanding to them also.

An escape from negative comments and arguing amongst ourselves. I'm just bored of seeing the same posts from the same people on here. I tend to check in on the thread when I see the page count bump up, but then find I'm scrolling through the same old drivel unfortunately. If anyone wants to check out the positive thread post I started, then give it a click below. ? https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/35785-a-little-corner-of-positivity/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no permanent manager. Our takeover has failed to materialise and expected completion dates missed numerous times. Players havent been paid, for the 2nd year on the trot. Fans not receiving refunds, or updates to those refunds. Our chairman has distanced himself from the club and no longer communicates with the fans. All this added to issues out of the clubs control, pandemic, not able to attend games etc, is it any wonder that some fans are negative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - The problem is that we know things aren't perfect at the moment, how do we know this? Because the likes of yourself come here and tell us how crap everything is, several times a day. As I alluded to in a previous post, some of you guys are quite toxic and the type that I wouldn't surround myself with if I wanted a bit of positivity.

As I alluded to in a previous post, some of you guys are quite toxic and the type that I wouldn't surround myself with if I wanted a bit of positivity. Toxic? Have a day off. What do you want, a forum where everyone has 1 view, or should I say, a view which makes your happy little self that little bit happier? I honestly dont understand how/why people read posts on a forum and feel personally affected by them? Perhaps, contrary to your beliefs, I am so happy in life and so content, that when I visit this forum I dont feel personally affected or upset by anything I read, if I dont agree with something I will either make my point, peacefully, or move along. But, things with Derby County are fairly poor this year and if I want to make my feelings known on a forum I will, if you dont like what you read please mute/block me, your day will be so much the better. Or, we could just hug it out like real men ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
