Day Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I understand that tonight many questions will be asked, both of the club and myself. Tonight as the news was broke, I was sat in the pub, still am, it's hit me hard as I'm sure it has you all, I was not expecting it, there was no pre warning, no hint of what was to come. I also understand that over the years my opinion has been questioned, it's something I have had to deal with, sometimes poorly, but with the best and honest of intentions. Tonight I am hurting, just as much as you all, this is the club I love, the club I adore, the club I have tattooed on my hand for all to see with pride. I love this club, please just think when posting over the next few days, weeks in anger, myself, the moderators, we do not deserve to be on the end of your anger or frustration. Today is a dark day for the club, but as fans, we need to to stick together. We are Derby County, every one of us and we will move forward as one. Once a ram, always a ram ?

hintonsboots Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 The most important thing is that you keep this Forum going mate. It’s a brilliant resource, where we can all feel part of the Rams clan. Hope there is no chance of administration at dcfcfans.co.uk.

Leeds Ram Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 It's not your fault and there is no need to defend yourself Daveo. I disagreed with you about Mel some time ago and have continued to do so but it's obvious no-one but Mel knew we were so close to the precipice. The blame lies with his absolute shameful mismanagement not anyone else. eezzeetiger, Fla Ram and Rammy03 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Ram Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 You should have titled your thread WE Are Derby, emphasising it’s us that’ll be there through thick and thin. Some players and management may want to still be part of the club in the near future but may be forced to move on to pastures new through no choice of their own, who knows ? But WE will still be around because you can change your car or your Mrs but you can’t change your football club.

To be honest, I would probably advise that you don't treat meetings with Morris as a legitimate source. The truth is unlikely to come out. i-Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 We can all believe totally that you had no idea what was to come I'm not entirely sure Rooney or players had any idea Nobody is pointing a finger in your direction, and if they are, point an upturned finger back in their direction.

Gritstone Ram Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I still think this move has been done hopefully with the best of intentions. May be it’s the best route to take at this moment. Not nice but hopefully we will come back stronger. Let’s give it our best tomorrow Come on You Rams!! hintonsboots and Premier ram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont want to blow smoke up your backside but you and your team do a great job and keep a lot of us informed and entertained. Shame the same cant be said about the people running the club.

JPRamFan Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Longtime lurker on this great forum and decided I would say how absolutely devastated I am by this news.

Great sentiments in your original post - not sure why anyone would be abusive to you or the moderators though. With regards to not seeing this coming, I think the writing has certainly been on the wall. The whole not selling season ticket thing rather set alarm bells ringing in my head as to possible administration. Coupled with the bizarre lack of communication from the club and concerns being raised elsewhere it was certainly discussed in my circles. Had hoped things weren’t really that bad but clearly they were. At least I know why they haven’t been answering my emails now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ariotofmyown Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 @David you conduct yourself with absolute dignity always. When we take over the club, you can organise us. I'm not saying "lead" deliberately! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
