Burn 'em.
A poor club taken over by an incompetent rich man, fans impotent to stop the juggernaut of f.ckery, helplessly watching the tragedy unfold over a long slow agonising but predictable decay.
Surely there's some sympathy towards our unfortunate neighbours somewhere?
2Ws .... I think they set the trend that we are now following ๐ค
I think they need another Fawaz day to celebrate their owner.

"Too nice"
Perhaps if we'd played with a bit more grit and resolve we'd still have something to play for...
Fck 'em up! Get into 'em!

Like #CB4 you mean - 7 yellow cards this season in 33 games but only manages to win 34% of tackles.
Yellow cards do not mean you are any good at winning the ball.
No they don't, but generally they do show that you are at least trying to win the ball or prevent the oppo doing something with it.
We're too lightweight in midfield, and too nice. We're terrier-like and, whilst I have nothing against terriers and appreciate that they have a particular set of skills which can be used in our favour, we've got no rottweilers. We need us some rottweilers.
#rottweilers
Also we have no upper-body strength and get shrugged off the ball too easily. You rarely get booked for using your upper body.
Too small, too lightweight.
Beat me u all you like but if I was to choose one team from the PL that is in the same mould of a club like us, it's Stoke.
They over the course have found that balance of skill and strength and leaders.
Lot's of footballers get sent off for using their upper body.
Kante, too small and lightweight. Only wins about 85% of all his tackles.
Spart, I'm not even going to get into discussion with you, it's seriously not worth it.
It's reported in the DT we're after Wisdom. I like it

Health and wealth would also be welcome.
The signing of certain players now makes a bit more sense from the daily Mail article. Wish it was a reliable source.
So, allegedly, we've maybe been ripped off with dodgy contract deals where the person who offered it might possibly have links with the player's agent?
It's not just about us (Mel) being ripped off, Peeder; if there's fraud been happening than we're potentially looking at sanctions which could run to fines, points deductions, or even the unthinkable
It would explain some of our 5hite transfer business for sure.
Dunno why it took so long to investigate though our transfer business has been failing us for a good few years. If it is true it's fraud that's hurt Derby not benefitted it.
Pure greed, nothing else, lining their own pockets at Mel's (and supporters) pockets.
Seems the way to "do business" nowadays. Harry Enfield would be proud.
If there are guilty parties, lets hope they get banged-up.
It would only be fraud if someone at the club is receiving benefits from Wasserman for signing players for which they are the agents.
Ayrton Wassall is receiving money from Wasserman but that is because he was recruited by them for a specific job and would have to inform the club. If the club was informed and agreed no conflict of interest then that would be OK.
It is also OK for companies to have preferred suppliers so signing a disproportionate number of Wasserman registered players doesn't break any laws.
If we have been signing the likes of Blackman and Shackell on big money and someone at the club has been rewarded by Wasserman for doing so then that is serious fraud as well as hurting the club.
We signed several Wasserman registered players while we had a Wasserman registered manager who was recruited by an ex Wasserman CEO. That does have a funny smell about it.
This needs clearing up quickly.
Mel would have known about Sam's previous though so must have been aware, I presume he thought it was all above board and a useful connection until Bent exercised his contract extension and then in a fit of rage decided to have a closer look.
If Rush has been getting bungs I imagine it'll be hard to prove. Corrupt as fook this game though.
Is Bent still on his silly wages with his extension do people know?

Perhaps Mel left his CEO alone to do the job that he's paid for - running the business on behalf of, and for the benefit of, it's shareholders/stakeholders.
Like you all wanted Mel to do.
Not his fault his agent got him a plum deal.
If there is smoke and fire in this, hopefully this is a chance to sort out the administrative side of Derby. Personally I'd prefer to see Mel in the Brett Wilson role of investor and get some people with proven experience in football administration to oversee the day to day running.
I personally recommend the JA606 Sports and Entertainment management company: JSE.
I'd like to put myself forward as the ideal Anti Corruption Officer Candidate, I could even employ members of A1, PWA, BCT, 38, CLF and if we're desperate Mackworth Mandem to help lean on any employee ripping the Derby off.
Bringing rival gangs together to protect our local football team. Heart warming thug life stuff.
JSE forever
Or alternatively we could try and hire people who know what they're doing and aren't on the take.
