Are you referring to the aftermath of the Meeting with MM? If so, I’d say all optimism has drained and realism has replaced it. I don’t believe there’s any good news. We need to get behind the players and WR because they’re going to need our support more than ever. #carcrashincoming JG400, JustOneBiblicalKazim, GenBr and 12 others 6 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I will support the team regardless of anything the club situation will sort itself out but we have no control over that and can’t speed it up the youngsters will need some serious support this season and hopefully we can actually bring in Davies and Jagelka to help with that whilst Forsyth and Shinnie have some serious grand parenting to do on the pitch. jono, Miggins, Tamworthram and 5 others 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmm…At least if WR walked nobody would blame him or be surprised. Just think though if we beat HTFC 3-0 on Sat with another energetic performance things might just click. #blindoptimism Premier ram, David Graham Brown and jono 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodley Ram Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 its a bit like going on a blind date, you know that the other person will most probably be a grunter but you feel deflated when they are. jimtastic56, David Graham Brown, Ellafella and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we'll see that if there are any players signed. Then who takes the blame ie Mel or the EFL if there are none. David Graham Brown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearing Jim Wheeler speaking this morning on Radio Derby brought home the 'human' side of the problem and I felt sorry for Mel, Wayne and the players. jimtastic56 and Ellafella 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 In the pre season I saw enough to give me hope. I am worried about the lack of cover and scoring options but I am looking forward to Saturday far more than I looked forward to a game when we were lost in the Pearson system. Things can only get better as long as we avoid a points deduction Miggins and Ellafella 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 7 minutes ago, Ellafella said: What was the gist @Miggins? We got to hear about loads of stuff, but can’t really tell you about it. And it’s no ones fault but we can’t tell you why it’s no ones fault, but we can blame the pandemic for a bit of it. But Mels happy to get it of his chest even though we can’t tell you what he got of his chest. Oh and don’t think about protesting or displaying any form of anger as it puts buyers off and Mel doesn’t want that as he wants out, we’re aloud to tell you that much.

Miggins Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 6 minutes ago, Ellafella said: What was the gist @Miggins? Mel has been wanting to sell for the club for the last 2 years Right now there are more than 2 buyers with good credentials at the table. Mel said he had been looking forward to the meeting and for some reason hasn't been able to put his side of the story but has had to endure the abuse. He said it was a relief to be able share with the people present. He asked everyone to get behind the club as protests etc at this time might be off putting for potential buyers if they saw the fans turn against the owner. NDA was one of the first questions but by the end of the meeting Jim understood the reasons for it. Wayne was not discussed as the manager was not within the remit of the meeting. Hope this helps. Jim talked for about 10 minutes and gave a very thoughtful view of what had been said which I know @David will do later.

RadioactiveWaste Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Fade to Black (and white) - with appologies to Metallica Prem, it seems, will fade away Drifting further, every day Getting lost with EFL Nothing matters, no one else I have lost the will to live Simply nothing more to give There is nothing more for me Need Alonso to set me free Things not what they used to be Missing one Butterfield Deathly loss, this can't be real I cannot stand this hell I feel Wayne Rooney is filling me To the point of agony Growing darkness, taking down I was me, but now he's gone No one but Steve Can save Derby But it's too late Now I can't think Think why I should even try Yesterday seems as though It never existed Death greets me warm Now I will just say goodbye Bye...
