Meanwhile over in Derby

Apparently they will run out of money next month. Maybe this run they’re on still won’t be enough for them to stay up.

A lot more serious than relegation.
Liquidation is in the pipeline it seems. Middlesbroughs ongoing claim against them may well finish them.

This has a Rangers (1872) feel about it. They all expected someone to come along. They died and had to reform as a phoenix club and be granted permission to enter the Scottish league structure.

Mel Morris has screwed Derby to the brink of oblivion, I think they’ll cease to exist.
 
Bit cunty of wycombe seeing as they got promoted the season before by dubious means
think they were in 6 or 7th place and the efl done a expected points scenario & they got lucky
 
I can see why Wycombe are pissed off about what happened last season but Middlesbroug’s case seems flimsy to me.

American family wants to buy them for £28m! Bargain. This bit made me laugh though.

BBC Radio Derby reports that the bid does not cover the Rams' Pride Park stadium, which is owned by former club chairman Mel Morris.

This saga now really makes me laugh. The sheepshaggers have cheated & broke every rule in the book, but are now being looked on as victims & attracting sympathy.

I think it depends on your own memories of the particular club in question. As stated many remember the sheep having a great laugh at our expense when we stood at the abyss. Thanks largely to two former players, both local lads, who felt a great debt of gratitude and gave hugely from their own pockets we managed to turn our situation around. We were vilified as we were 'the first' and insufficient checks and balances were 'in place' to stop it happening. Relegation, new stadium in progress, ITV deal collapse. All well documented. Subsequently various new rules were implemented to stop a similar thing happening again. Yet here we are nearly 20 years later and step forward the sheep shaggers. Remembering the build up to Wembley in 94, money bags super rams, Leicester is 'not a footballing City like we are, Wembley tickets are easy to be had in Leicester cos nobody is that interested (real banana up their arse whoever came up with that one). So for me, although I'd rather it was the red filth, I say fuck em.

You can say what you want but has a whole of a football community up and down the country our rivals are the other 91 clubs I still would not like to see any other team go even if teams lorded it over us when we went into admistration be the better person even if is derby cov or florist.i remember 94 going down the motorway and them being cocky that they were going to beat us but even though I hate every other east Midlands and west Midlands clubs but still would rather have our local derby's that's my opinion you may not like it but I don't care because its the fans who miss out on the banter and rivalry

I don't really know why I'm replying to your silly statement but I know there is no chance they will get liquidated. If it comes to the crunch some wealthy bloke in Derbyshire will bail them out. I'll just say that if you lived in NW Leics in the 1970's you would be able to understand why I wish that. They were a nothing club until Clough went there, it must have been about the 50th away ground I went to as we just never played them. They were the equivalent of Burton Albion, nobody really bothered about them. Then Clough goes & they have a bit of success & loads of people in Coalville & Whitwick are suddenly Derby fans. Worse thing was, although we had a great side we always lost to them, & my life on Saturday nights was a misery. I have never forgotten that & I hate them & I desperately want them relegated. I hope Forest hammer them tomorrow.
I'm delighted to say that NW Leics is now pretty well a shaggers free zone

I don't really want to see them go either but it seems to me Bury were liquidated for crimes which were less serious than Derby's. Just because they are a bigger club doesn't mean they deserve special treatment. If they do go, their fan base is big enough to form a new club, just as others have, e.g. Accrington, Halifax, Wimbledon, Bournemouth, etc.

I don't give damn where you lived in the earlier days in leicestershire everyone was our rivals in the east Midlands I lived in the middle of the county and has I said before hate all of the clubs around me but still would not wish any of them not to exist know .
 
Derby County under Mel Morris, cheated and overspent and if they get liquidated then so be it.

Their fans were happy to sit there and lap it up during those times, consequences follow as a result.

It’s no different to Woolworths going under a shame for those who work and shop there but the rest of the world carries on and their spot will be filled by a well run business. That’s what will happen here should Derby go pop

At least in England the football authorities won’t break the rules to shoehorn them back in. They can take the well trodden AFCW path.
