Derby doomed

A really excellent appraisal by Gary Neville of the Derby situation.... we should count ourselves very lucky and hope this never haunts us...

 

Derby are going to survive in the Championship comfortably aren’t they?

 

Given their form at the minute , yes !

 

I just assumed they wouldn’t go completely under, and if that was the case they’d easily stay up.
Wondered if I was missing something

 

Thats what they do and they make a lot of money out of it.

 

Some American company putting in a bid of £28million for Derby. That doesn't include the stadium.Wonder if the main concern of some of their fans will be semantics about whether or not they are debt free?

 

I thought they were in hock for something like 40 million....

 

Complicated with what is owed to Mel Morris. He has written a lot off kf what was owed to him. He still owns the ground.mDepends what else he will write off. Which he may do as he is not exactly skint and is a fan of tbe club,

 

Given he made his fortune off the back of that very business model he's criticising, his words seem hollow virtue signalling.

 

I think he has acknowledged that.

 

I’m curious as to what justification there is to suggest Middlesbrough and Wycombe should ‘stand down’. Didn’t realise they were charities.

 

Exactly.

Oh that’s ok then

 

I think that is a 'bigger picture' view. I wouldn't stand down if I was either of them. The EFL are struggling, 'marking their own homework'. Clubs have to take what comes if they break FFP rules. Football needs a regulator and you know it makes sense when the premier league come out against it.

 

It isn't ok and I was going to add that at the end of my post but couldn't be arsed. Wish I had now as I wouldn't be typing another reply.

Shall we liken him to a reformed gangster who is now helping young kids avoiding going down the same route and just leave it at that. It doesn't really matter if he has benefited from it other than some can call him a hypocrite. He can see it from the inside and the outside and I think he talks a lot of sense.

 

Tho you don’t agree when he says they should stand down
And clubs have to take what comes
I agree
But I don’t see what you agree with Neville??

 

The need for change.

 

And what would that change be?

 

Smacks of desperation tbh

 

I think if anything Wycombe one has some merit to it as if derby where delt with within the timelines they should have been then Wycombe would have stayed up.
