Comrade 86 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 When? I've been hyperventilating into a brown paper bag for 30 years already now. After all, who needs perspective when you can have melodrama? What is odd though, is that I'm sure I can recall darker times at the club and yet by some massively strange quirk of fate, the world has just carried on spinning. Go figure... ?♂️ jono, tinman, Malty and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this happens, I for one will want to know if you are ITK. 9 hours ago, r4derby said: I think if the major issues (takeover, punishment etc) aren't sorted by the time the preseason friendlies kick in, we can start to become a little nervous and ask questions. Those are so important for us to know what to do next season and how we are going to approach it. Will we be able to afford wages for new signings? Do we have to sell first? The squad isn’t awful. It just needs some players in important positions (CB, ST) You wont get much for thruppence hapenny. I truly think that the EFL probably don't have much grounds to punish us but they can delay the outcome in the meantime keeping us under an embargo. - The downside from that the potential new owners are maybe hanging on until the outcome of the EFL findings are published. This way the EFL can hurt us and really ruin our season without actually giving out any real punishment. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much potential damage to his brand and ambition & he's already got a ready made narrative of 'keeping us up'. His media pals will do their duty talking up his stint & protesting we're an impossible job. By that I presume you mean someone who wants to do really well in their career path - his being to be a very good football manager. So by staying here, where he has committed his future to us - more than once already - he intends to do that with Derby. Lol. I don't suppose there would be a lot of disagreement from Derby fans about that either!!! How many CBs on our books for the new season? ?

Something needs to change as the EFL battle is one of things that has dragged the club's reputation down so much and hindered us so much over the last few years.

This is as good a gig as he's getting at present given how dismal his record is. That's like celebrating Ikechi Anya committing to us for the 4 years he had a contract here. If Rooney does improve, you're in for an unpleasant surprise if you think he's intending on staying at Derby any longer than necessary. jimtastic56, Ramarena, JustOneBiblicalKazim and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaaLocks Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 11 hours ago, Dean (hick) Saunders said: To old to panic about football at age 47. What ever happens happens. Main problem for me if things don’t get sorted is the football will be a stinking pile of ? so I won’t want to watch it and have to find something else to do. What he said - I've been here more than once, no longer have a life that revolves around 3pm Saturday. Football has become a fickle interest, they have changed the relationship with the fan to one of a customer. The recent events have also given us all so much more to find to do on a weekend - it's sad to admit but I'm really not that bothered enough to panic. However, I do seem bothered enough to post on here about three times a week about how unbothered I am so I appreciate I am likely not being true to myself.

oldtimeram Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 12 hours ago, Malty said: So we are waiting for the result of the DC panel (or whatever it’s called) and simultaneously waiting for a potential takeover announcement. Both seem imminent, but in honesty, both seem to have been kicked down the road so many times you just wonder when and if we will ever see the end of them. Meanwhile DCFC seem in complete limbo …. armed with a selection of academy graduates and a handful of championship or near championship level players, a team which many think are barely capable of staying in the league and a squad that just is simply way to thin. Our manager has barely kept us up and was very clear a month ago that he needed action immediately to prepare for next season … after which nothing has happened. How much patience does he have? Our best youth players are not signing contracts and even mediocre players in our squad are being snapped up by rivals. So as fans, do we continue to sit and wait and play the patience game … or do we panic? Panic I'd say. The whole situation is a complete shambles jimtastic56 and Malty 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuwtfly Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I did so much panicking last season that it has more or less completely burnt me out to the point where I just cannot muster myself to give a poo under the current ownership/management. Much better for the blood pressure but not so good for the soul. Cam the Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 If part of our defence against any sanctions from the DC isn't "You have already cost us dearly with your constant embargoes and the frankly ludicrous amount of time this has taken" then it definitely should be. Another transfer window swallowed up by the EFL and their meandering, glacial paced incompetence. BucksRam, jimtastic56 and 48 hours 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
