Their club is being ruined by a shit owner who doesn't seem to give a flying **** about the club or the fans. It makes me doubly grateful that we have a decent owner in charge of us at BS3.7 points

Really, "window lickers" in these enlightened times - I thought we were supposed to be the neanderthals. ?4 points

Think Barton has brought in 6 new players now, many of them are Scousers & a fair few from Fleetwood or elsewhere in the North. I consider myself a bit of a football anorak at times but I have never heard of any of them.3 points

He`s got those dead eyes that every new signing of theirs has. `How have I sunk this low?`3 points

Agree to this, I won’t sit here and blow smoke up our own backsides, but I think there’s enough people who went through 82 (like my old man) to not want to play this sort of thing out. Let’s be honest, we are lucky in a number of ways when it comes to ownership stability and I suspect we all (myself included) has gone “why can’t SL just gamble one season and cheat the system like QPR or Wolves or Villa” but would that really make us happy? And there’s no promise that it pays off. Of course some fans would rather success at all costs. Of course some fans would blindly back the club even if they were in the wrong, either out of faith or borderline trolling, but I think because of where we’ve been we’d have a better proportion of fans kicking off if we pulled this sort of thing.3 points

Do you genuinely believe that your club have been above board and within the rules? If your answer is Yes, you are blinded by your bias. If your answer is No, you really should be calling it out. Yet you seem to be happy, nay, even arrogant, about the whole situation.3 points

Please refer to previous Gilmartin threads, it's all there. In the context of this thread I was replying to a couple of posters who for some reason 'feel sorry for him'. I don't.2 points

No idea at the moment as we thought he had sold his share but the problem is he has so much debt rumoured to be 13 million and court cases pending its hard to know. https://theswindonian.co.uk/sport/stfc/power-to-sell-club-to-clem-morfuni/?fbclid=IwAR3vLVkD3_GuOP_XdPODpbbIXU5XGWmc_FpOE3X5FQ9M60b0W_RspRjNEzE t2 points

During the 1960's Jersey signed an agreement with Madeira for individuals to settle on the island as 'staff' for the holiday trade. Therefore there is a significant number of 'Madeiran' individuals, and their families, now settled on the island.2 points

3 from 27 at Fleetwood, 1 from 16 at Darlington and 0 from 2 at Hartlepool. What’s not to like?2 points

Ha ha. Couldn’t give a shit to be honest pal. However, if it was my club, I’d be a bit more humble about it. In fact, I’d be happily calling my owners out on it. All these clubs who seem to be under investigation have a fan base in utter denial. The only fans I ever knew who were humble and acknowledged the wrongdoings of their owners were QPR. Get over yourself.2 points

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57604421 Wow, Wycombe's owner has come out swinging! Labels the actions of Derby as 'systematic cheating' and appears to be threatening a legal claim vs Derby for lost Revenue if indeed they (Wycombe) drop into League One. Seems to argue that Revenue hit would be £10-15m though that feels overstated. More like £5-10m maybe? He's American and a lawyer by trade so his actions don't surprise me!2 points

Well I beg to differ; if you were a clean owner you surely go out of town, well out of town, to recruit your auditor. The fact Morris did not sums him up quite nicely. The egregious little ogre should be struck off for life from sitting on a board and should be drop kicked into the rough never to return to the beautiful game which he has so blatantly and flagrantly brought into disrepute. Shame on him and all involved. We are likely talking about criminal offences. I hope they all do time. I used PP as a mere example but thanks for digging around. I was of the view that AA Consulting was still going... No licence to do audits tho.2 points

PMSL, take a look at these daft idea!! https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/37695-sports-minister-emails/ @Hxj @Davefevs @havanatopia The deludamol is strong among some that forum?? Haha, bullying- Wow! High Court? Don't think that it sits well with your Terms of Membership! 'Membership of the League shall constitute' etc... Perhaps we and likeminded fans of other clubs should email Crouch and our MPs to praise the EFL here, for finally getting round to a determination with respect to enforcing the Regulations in the correct manner. They should ask fans of compliant Clubs when it comes to the Football Governance Review Body- the Regulations are too lax if anything. Destruction of a Club? Behave- teams go up, teams go down! Bullying? ?1 point

Honestly can’t be arsed to go back through your previous posts - the whole situation bores me. It’d just be nice if you and your other fans could categorically state that your club has done wrong and to not defend it. I couldn’t care whether you get a £1 fine or a 75 point deduction. Just admit your club have broken the rules.1 point

I honestly don't know to be honest, couldn't have been more than 200-300 there1 point

Doesn't that make you sad? Do you accept in any way that your club has done wrong and essentially cheated? I think that’s the part I struggle with. I completely respect and accept your loyalty and decision to stand by your club, but you are still allowed to acknowledge that they’ve done wrong, tried to cheat and been caught out. Do you also see how Derby not being punished appropriately just means it’s okay for everyone else to cheat in the same manner? I just don’t get it.1 point

I haven't been far wrong so far. I may have even stated it'll be a £100k fine months ago. That somewhat shows my interpretation of events is more balanced than some on this forum demanding massive points deductions, instant relegation, members to be sacked off the EFL board, etc.. Because I enjoy most of the conversations with the likes of @Mr Popodopolous, even if we don't agree on a lot of stuff Face saving from the EFL, based on the 0.0001% chance a deduction could be applied to 20/21. If Derby play L1 football in 20/21 , I'll record a video of me eating Rooney's underwear and post it on here.1 point

Thanks for the message. I believe there are still plans for the club to have a museum, I regularly get offers of memorabilia from ex players and their families. My colleague Pete Smith is on the case as he holds the responsibility for all the clubs historical collection of artefacts. Cheers Jerry1 point

I'm not a big fan of T20 but I popped down last night and my god did Phillips smash it everywhere. That reserve sweep over third man was an incredible shot, but I loved his shots in the V. A controlled, classy, violent innings. Smith also bowled very well.1 point

I saw that a player (Ogogo) that the window lickers released turned down a chance for a pre-season 'trial' to earn a contract in favour of..... wait for it.......... a contract at Non League Southend United. #comingforus1 point

I'm not sure. Perhaps they can ask Nick Higgs for some advice, as he has some experience of such matters.1 point
