I mean if folk discussing stuff with you is so meaningless then you could always refrain from posting. Not sure why you're defensive, nor why you're so dismissive of people's opinions when they don't match your own. Anyway, sorry to have bothered you with my meaningless posts! ?♀️?

Derby is effectively a one club City; we are a founder member of the football league who have twice topped the pile; we have a large and loyal fan-base and a comparatively rich footballing history. Furthermore, I'd venture it is the very fact that we are in such a mess that makes us an attractive proposition. I struggle with the fact that so many fans are unable to grasp the notion that you buy stock when it's cheap, not when it's already peaked. Why one shitty season, when we've been challenging for promotion for nigh on 10 years now, is being taken as the only viable metric. Who said it? Nobody....

BTW - you do seem to feel strongly I am either aggressively defensive or dismissive of your views and unhappy to accept any point of view other than my own. Yes, I have a view and I agree it's unlikely to undertake a road to Damascus style transformation but please don't be in any doubt I'm not that bothered if you hold a different point of view (other than debating back and forth with an anonymous avatar on some forum in my spare time). As for refraining from posting - yeah, I'd worked that one out but thx for the suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said it's a facet of the club that might make us attractive to potential buyers not that they'll buy us exclusively for that reason. It's all there in the very post you've quoted!

Probably better if you read what is written and react on that, not on how it landed in your mind - it will probably help all on here not to have to trawl through pages of bickering on interpretation.

Just wanted to check what aspirations are acceptable and which are not ? Let's be honest here. Nobody is suggesting that we're going to do a Leicester and top the Premiership, only that there are as many plausible reasons for us securing an owner who is a good fit, as not. We're probably due a change of luck anyway, for those that believe in such things. Honestly, I think it's very odd that something so simple is such a massive stretch for you, but if a half empty glass is you tipple of preference, so be it. Perhaps pessimism is how you insulate yourself from the bumps in the road, who knows, but not everyone wants to think that way and no matter how dismissive you choose to be, it wont change the fact that you've been presented with arguments that are every bit as plausible as your own. And FWIW, even if the possibilities being mooted were as outlandish as you portray, others will still dare to dream, irrespective of the outcomes and no matter how much anyone rubbishes the club or sneers at their relentless optimism. Why? Simply because for many, the dream is what being a supporter is all about. Exactly this for me ... yes this is what it’s all about. DCFC supporter since boyhood. Now a bloke pushing 60 and yes my head tells me we are in a mess, a shambles of a club & the big time is as far away as it’s ever been BUT to follow the Rams is in your blood and if there’s nothing to strive for, to dream to achieve then what is the point. To look forward to the days when you can introduce the mighty Rams to the grandkids and accompany them to the games, to see the excitement on their faces, this is what I look forward to. Yes, I may be a sentimental old fool but it’s the escapism from the stress & strains of everyday life that draws you to the dream. Is my heart ruling my head ABSOLUTELY .... but if the dreams & aspirations are nothing but fantasy and we accept that they are a million miles away then what is the point?? eezzeetiger, Comrade 86, Long Time Lurker and 9 others 2 1 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With your reaction I think you miss my point. You can substitute DCFC\the mighty Rams with any football club you like buddy. I’m sure even you lot down the A52 aspire to better things. We are all part of the bigger football family regardless of our allegiances & rivalries, who want the best for our respective clubs. I respect your dreams for your team as I do the dreams for supporters of any other club. Isn’t that why we are all here??
