DeBilde'sTea Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I have affection for Derby as they are the closest club to where I live and I have friends who support them. It's sad yo see thier state but schadenfreude kicks in and it's almost heartening to see a club in a worse state than us. Pretty sure they can barely make a team at the moment.

A Would they? Seems a fair few seemed to be quite sympathetic to the players when our illustrious leader didn't pay them 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerson Thome Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Does seem like EFL are really vindictive with the way they are blocking Derby from signing anyone. Apparently they were insisting Curtis Davies (who wanted to sign a new contract) had to count as a 'new' signing (them only being allowed 4 over a certain wage), having blocked Derby renewing his contract for the past 4 months.

I've no sympathy for Morris, his chickens are coming home to roost. It's the fans I have sympathy for.

Not strictly true. They can only get their squad to a maximum of 23. So that is why he would be included in the 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how many Derby fans did you speak to? Just cus they aren't posting it on I stagram doesn't mean it didn't happen. Derby fans I spoke to all felt same way I did about thier club.

They stopped us as well and we all gave DC a good kicking and rightly so.
