Rample Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 The EFL have already cost us dearly without any formal punishments. Both embargos and a sense we will struggle due to any potential punishments will probably have cost us free agents/cheap additions, and likely affected the negotiations of existing players, without mentioning the inability to plan beyond the end of last season, and now still living in relative limbo. The ridiculously protracted FFP/Keogh saga has hung over us for 18 months now, and will have cast a shadow of uncertainty that will be felt throughout the club, that has to have an affect on the pitch, as well as keeping genuine buyers at a distance. I sense in terms of current ownership its probably worn Mel down to a point he just can't be bothered any more, yes maybe he antagonised them first, but they do seem to be on a mission to drag everything out as long as possible for maximum effect. Its absolutely imperative that any new owners start to repair the damage and get us out of this cycle.

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? 48 hours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Lampard and Rowett did? ? Of course successful managers don't want to stay at the club in the state it's in. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So by staying here, where he has committed his future to us - more than once already - he intends to do that with Derby. 1 hour ago, RoyMac5 said: Like Lampard and Rowett did? ? Of course successful managers don't want to stay at the club in the state it's in. More contradictory waffle...you either believe he will stay to be successful with us or you don't. Which is it? And your standard whataboutery chucked in too although never seems to apply to tough circumstances previous managers have experienced here (of course).

I believe he should be given chance to be successful here (and yes I currently think he will). You're another one when it's pointed out to them that they are making no sense don't like it and get snitty. You said "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." I pointed out he wouldn't be the only one, nor the first to do that! You 'accused' him of being 'careerist'. Well when his career is football manager why isn't that a good thing for us? ?

Even by your standards, that is a hilariously weak reply ? Avoiding the question again, selectively answering what suits you, desperately scrambling for the higher moral ground (I'M not making sense!?!) , more whataboutery & a laughing emoji for something that isn't funny.
