In fairness its a really good, wise and concise message, it also puts the supporters group a bit in their place as well.The boss man doesn't think it's the best idea to lumber yourself with a 42% APR loan either

It is with real concern that I have read about Derby County fans being advised to take out loans to cover the cost of their season tickets.www.dcfc.co.uk
When you see the decisions and advice of that supporters group you start to understand how Mel got away with murder for so long.
He seems a genuine bloke and you can’t doubt his ticker shelling out what he has for a handful of nothing,The boss man doesn't think it's the best idea to lumber yourself with a 42% APR loan either

, people are twitchy about not getting in, we all remember the sold out signs going up at some point eh?
I have been genuinely shocked by the amount of good FFP & financial analysis on this board over the years, and it's corresponding reasonable accuracy + hit rate, and the utterly pathetic ignorance from Derby's fans at their own plight over the past few years has failed to even rival that slightly.
I've said this a few times now, but the majority of us fans were shouting "Fazza, sort FFP out!" and "Vrentzos! Stop spunking fortunes on random punts with no plan!" when there was even a sniff of us overstepping the mark. Even the Lingard signing has seen people raise concerns until the 1-year + 80k deal was announced. But Derby fans seem to totally ignore that, much like they ignored their own situation.
They are genuinely dumb as f***, and in no way put any real thought or effort into analyzing anything before coming to a conclusion. And from the past few years, neither have the crooks who ran them
Won't be too long before the bed sheets come out.
Be nice to see Eddie, and on a personal level as someone who has constantly defended the premier league you’ll be able to bask in the reflective glow

I was just saying the same earlier, I think the forum should be doing a little something in recognition personally …… all the naysayers where are they now Ed?

This presumably allows us to play the victim card as and when needed ?We are a FOUNDING member of the Premier league as well, only 11 others are in the top flight can say the same this year.
Looking in my DCFC rule book for founding clubs we can now avoid paying tax, doing our accounts and all of these signings won't need paying for either, cheers Crewton futures looking

Oldest league club too, win, win.
I already feel sorry for the bloke when he is skint because of them
Its unfortunately a likelihood for him too, honestly looks to me like he could do an Alan Hardy (Not flashing his widget mind) in terms of taking his eye of the family business that has created his wealth as the Derby fans will get increasingly impatient for success and demand more of his time and energy (and cash).
Man City and Stockport.
We have threads for other small local lower league clubs like Mansfield and Notts, so may as well have one for Derby.
