davenportram Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Clough said the Keogh was his number one target and Keogh said that Clough has been monitoring for a while. How does that make it a knee jerk reaction to fans backlash? I cant remember Hulse ever being declared as not for sale - we accepted a bid for him the year before he left Commons was never declared not for sale - we wanted him to stay, made an offer but he wanted out. Not really the boards fault that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smyth_18 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Why the sudden change of heart b4? In march you thought we still had a chance of winning the league. I know we've lost Callum ball but it's only for a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loweman2 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Let's stop calling them Yanks first. yes its not 1944 maybe its repressed anger 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' /> [size=3]The general resentment felt by local men and British servicemen towards all ‘Yanks’ led to the saying, "We don’t like Yanks because they are over sexed, over paid and over here". There was a lot of jealousy and resentment amongst them because they were more confident, had more money and were much smarter. The uniforms they wore were beautiful compared to the rough, drab, ill fitting khaki uniforms of our army. This wasn’t the whole story though because the Americans were well mannered, polite, gregarious and confident, Most of our British counterparts were shy, tongue tied around women, poor, and felt that they compared badly with the Americans, so resented them even more.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right then B4 I have no problem with your passion but if you seriously want to convince people to turn on the board or owners (I'm not even sure who you want to turn against) then you need to do some proper research and provide some real facts rather than doing posts like this. What am I on about? Well here goes:- 1. A bid had already been accepted for Hulse so why would they say he was not for sale?! At the time TG told us it was a footballing decision made by NC. I have seen no evidence that would make me dispute this. 2. Kris Commons was offered a new contract which he refused to sign. It therefore made sense to sell him in Jaunary for a fee rather than hold on to him for 4 more months and get nothing. 3. Only 30something took their season tickets back, I believe some of these were due to re-scheduling of fixtures. I think anyone who took it back on the basis of Shackell being sold look pretty silly right now. 4. When has anyone said we can not make another 'Barker or Shackell type fee signing'? It has been reported that Keogh cost more than both, this is on top of the Jacobs and Coutts signings. In summary, you have told us all that 'something is wrong and they're up to something which is necessarily not good news' but you have only provided 4 very weak arguments to back this point up. I suggest you go back to the drawing board if you think posts like this will get the majority of people on your side in turning against the board. Just out of interest what action have you taken so far? I assume e-mails to Tom Glick and Andy Appleby were your starting point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRamFan Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 everyone will see in the end that we are being taken for a ride or for a joke, but if i get my way the yanks days are numbered and i think it is time for new ownership. The company GSE is made up from investors that are Canadian, American, Far East and possibly another 'foriegn' person. Andy Appleby founded the company as a way for the investors to work together, Appleby is a very successful sport business man and I doubt that he would willing harm his reputation by taking Derby County 'for a ride'. He has a checkable work history, anybody running a company in the US have some of the most stringent tax laws that where introduced after Enron (Sarbaine-Oxley Act), so I doubt he is filtering away profits... http://www.generalsports.com/ nice pictures.

duncanjwitham Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 So basically a bunch of people spend £16m buying a football club, invest £27m (iirc) into that club, endure protests and repeated name-calling, rumour-mongering and borderline slander, and we're the ones being taken for a ride?

StockholmRam Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Wresling champion!!! Wow... there you go B4. Challenge him to a wrestling match as part of pre match entertainment ( even better for the Florist game live on TV) and if you win then Mr Appleby and his crew have to up sticks and clear out. Sound fair? 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G STAR RAM Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Just hope people have not taken the weekend off for this protest. Just a few more questions which need answering B4:- 1. What is the objective of this offensive? Is it 'yanks' out at all costs or can they stay if they unlease the £50millio war chest? 2. Who have you got lined up to replace the 'yanks' once we have overthrown them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
