Derby latest..... on 20:42 - Sep 17 by Illinoisblue | Heck of a statement that, blaming it all on Covid and the EFL. |
Also, whilst blaming EFL they clearly indicate they'd been financially "unwell" for some time citing pre-covid dates Jan 2020 and 2019. So as well as attacking EFL, they are inadvertently telling the world that EFL should have taken action last season... and Derby should be in our division this season. | |

Maybe we could swoop in with a cheeky bid for Tom Lawrence. We don’t need another winger but it would be fun | |

Is that gambling company still paying Rooney’s wages? Can’t imagine he’s going to stick around for long | |

Derby latest..... on 23:49 - Sep 17 with 1456 views | HARRY10 | Financial irregularities usually suggest money 'going out of the back door' However, as with so much before, the club will be docked points/relegated etc and it will be seen that the FL won't stand for this. And as before, no one will be found guilty, no investigation will be made public - in fact I doubt if there really will be an investigation into those responsible. It will all be quietly dropped as with accusations of match fixing and managers taking a bankhander from agents. Too many on the gravy train for that to be de-railed. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

Derby latest..... on 22:01 - Sep 17 by Horseboy | Disappointed in the lending comments, all Championship clubs received 8.3m during covid bar Derby, odd one? |
The way Sky reporting it is that the £8.3M loan came with conditions for payback and Derby couldn't meet conditions so they didn't get that money. Mel really doesn't have a leg to stand on with the way they have overspent year on year to achieve a dream and still push the boundaries of FFP to get Rooney in but his wages not count to FFP. This all feels like a massive slice of football Karma for the way Derby have operated. | | | |

Derby latest..... on 21:41 - Sep 17 by Lord_Lucan | I've never liked County since we beat them 5 - 0 away back in the early 80's (might have been 5 - 1, can't remember) but I won't go into that. Forest were one of our biggest rivals when we were good so we naturally didn't like them and I couldn't stand Burns or O'Neill - but I loved Clough and Francis. How can you not like Clough? Impossible! Leicester are just one of those nothing teams, well they were anyway. How times change. I'm trying to think of one of their players who wore white tights when playing against us but my memory is shot - I am pretty sure he was their captain. |
I think it might have been Keith Weller, their winger | | | |

Derby latest..... on 20:48 - Sep 17 by Fixed_It | Yep. Absolutely nothing to do with them chucking money at promotion year after year - and failing! |
No difference to what we are doing and we done under Evans then? I’m not sure there’s many clubs that can claim the moral high ground when it comes to this. | | | |

Evans never spent sums that he couldn’t afford to personally cover. He would never have put the club into that position financially. | | | |

Very different. Whatever we may think of Evans, he didn’t set up a new company and sell the ground to it to enable an £80m cash injection to be put into the club in an attempt to contravene FFP. Derby’s a basket case but there’s nothing anyone should be celebrating here. There will be many small local businesses that supply them that are currently going under with this news. | |

Derby latest..... on 21:20 - Sep 17 by Lord_Lucan | Does everyone hate Derby? I forget. The whole East Midlands thing is a nonentity to me, I care little. Hooever - I used to like Forest of late as they are similar to us, they were once brilliant and now sh1t. I'm also warming to Leicester, probably because it's a very good business town for us, also our online sales manager bod lives in Leicester. Here's a thing, he was on our stand at a trade exhibition last week and we got chit chatting about Luton as we were both born there. He is Indian and apparently he was at school with Tommy Robinson Yaxley Lennon, he says that Yaxley was one of the main face drug runners back in the day and used to chill with the Asians all the time. He reckons he is extremely switched on and doing the Union Jack stuff just for money |

We had a debt of 100 million in league 1. Of course owed to him but what would have happened if he had decided to stop funding the club? Same with the current ownership. | | | |

He significantly reduced the amount he put in over time because he didn’t want to overexpose himself. Derby massively gambled on getting promotion. A huge difference in approach. Evans passed the club on responsibly to a better funded owner. An awful lot of owners don’t do that and clubs end up in an absolute state. We should be thankful for that. | | | |

Evans made a complete mess of his time here but, maybe slightly shockingly, we could have had a lot worse. I’m not sure if we’re a set of supporters who should be throwing stones about trying to buy our way to promotion, though, considering the early Evans years (before he checked himself) and now Gamechanger. | |

Need for instant success. No time to develop squads and players, just buy the best you can afford (better offer them nice wages, too), hire and fire managers until you get one which works, flog who you can to try balancing the books, suck in endless funds from outside. Quick, before the media and fans turn against you. | |

I think I remember one of his interviews where he spoke about his son at the breakfast table (son had grown to become a Town fan) and his boy as moaning at him over breakfast for not signing players for £2/3m like other clubs. Whilst I certainly wasn't a fan of ME, for not totally fcking us (financially) is something im grateful for. | |
