Championship - 2021/2022

[Guest Manini]

I know it’s childish to hold a grudge but it’s also childish of that lot to drag up our own administration and us apparently “****ing over other businesses” and getting away with it because we were unfortunate enough to suffer as part of the ITV Digital crash at any given opportunity (along with their other cretin mates down the road). So quite frankly, **** em. You play with feathers, you get your arse tickled. There’s nothing unfortunate about this, this is the culmination of years and years of dodgy dealings from old man Mel, he’s not laughing now is he?

Obviously there’s a side of me and probably all of us that will enjoy the demise of a rival. But only to a point. I don’t want to see any club go under and the Derby fans are no different to us, they’re football fans that deserve better owners than they’ve had to put up with.

He is yes, well partly they pay a large % of his wage. I was talking to a Derby fan the other day and he said apparently Mel Morris was showing fake potential owners around to prove he was trying to sell the club. Apparently they were just some random people he knew. 

Given his bizarre decisions over the past year or so, this wouldn't be surprising at all..

The 'Fit and Proper' Owner test needs a serious evaluation after his fiasco there.

 

Am sure Morris will deflect any blame away from him.

 

What a waste of a club; a pretty decent training ground and stadium, but a commercially-hideous owner at the helm.

I hope they survive as a club- I know we don't get on but they are genuine football fans like ourselves and at the end of it we all want a team to follow on a Saturday.

 

I wish the fans well- it's a horrible time. 

 

It's incredibly unlikely the club will cease to exist and for that reason I can't get overly emotive - I feel sorry for those employed who'll likely lose jobs and that's about it. I know how much of an arse I sound but I never heard much empathy from the sets of fans we're meant to be a "football family" with when we were going down the shitter.

I have two mates who work for Derby, both with young families, the situation is concerning and I hope is resolved without too much damage caused. This is more than just a rivalry.

They’ve slated us for years for administration so f*** them. Same with Forest when their shambles inevitably ends up going that way.

AFC Derby incoming?

As the post above yours shows, they didn't seem to mind much when they thought they were oh so smarter than the rulebook and were getting one over on everyone else. You reap what you sow comes to mind.

What makes me mad is that they get punished while the big 6 get nothing but a slap on the wrist for literally breaking the law

[Babylon]

Imagine Derby and Forest both drifting off into league one and both having an administration. Laaaaaarvley.

[Webbo]

Somebody will buy them but whether it'll solve their problems long term and whether they'll ever be back as a decent sized club, who knows?

Seems inevitable.

 

Hard to feel any Sympathy for Derby fans, when all the ones I know dredge up our administration and brand us cheats to deflect our recent successes.

Hopefully Forest go the same way and I can rub their noses in it too.

The little signs of money troubles they are in, they can't even afford print off a weekly programme!

[HybridFox]

Derby could well fold as a Club. Crazy!

[LestaFox92]

Thank god finally getting relegated them and forest have been teasing us for years the football gods finally stuck the boot in

I'd just like to say I'd love it if they folded 

[Fox in the North]

It’s an old dream that we are competing on our own in the top half of the premier league with our star ship academy and loaning our players out to derby and Forest respectively so the Brian Clough trophy is competed mostly by Leicester City loanees

What both Derby and Forest fans forget is that, at the end of the 2002/3 season, we were 12 points ahead of the third placed team (Sheffield United) with a vastly superior goal difference. Even if a 12 point deduction had then been applied we would still have got promoted to the Premier League.

Don’t think they’ve even sent out peoples season tickets either.

[Derby Blue]

Perhaps we can buy both Derby and Forest as Division 1 feeder clubs

Too easy, I’d prefer a long sustained period in league 2. Let them suffer to the point ‘the Derby way’ seems as much a fantasy to them as it is to the rest of us.

Now I know we don’t really have much rivalry between derby,Forest or Coventry anymore but I kind of feel a bit sad for them.As we know to well of going into administration but it looks like there going to throw the book at them with points deducted possibly 12 or more. We got relegated and were so lucky that we got the right people in and look at us now, but it looks like derby are in bigger mess and could be the end of them possibly which I find sad we had good games against them and some memories playoffs. The last point is that it’s still baffles me how those so called big six still got away with trying to ruin football and did not get any points deduction
