If anything that article shows how much things can change in just a year.

So maybe you should keep the boasting down for now atleast

No, Alvin - it's called 'bragging rights' - and barring the unthinkable, they belong at the less gun-friendly end of Brian Clough Way.

What bragging rights do you have lol?????

The worlds worst Premiership team?



..EVER?

But Wassa, we sold the catering rights.

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITHOUT OUR PRECIOUS CATERING RIGHTS?

That's the cash cow that all owners are looking for. TV money and transfer fees pale in comparison to the most lucrative part of football, the business of selling reheated pies and warm beer in plastic cups for 15 minutes once every two weeks.

Jom and his cronies were right. We're doomed!

'Warm beer' - I wish. It's freezing and gives me hiccups.

That's why I now sneek my own small bottles of Shiraz in.

"I'd just like to congratulate Nigel Clough, and his backroom staff, also Tom Glick"



I think my eyes are broken.

Its ok to operate under FFP if other clubs do. Do Leicester realise they are in the championship and it applies to them too?
For the past 2 seasons Derby have been handicaped with this in mind while other clubs ignore it

Do loopholes exist to exploit?

"All the best to that club down the road in sorting their finances out, and bringing in lower league players."

Alright Alvin, not like you to be so touchy mate!

There does seem to be a sense of karma about the relative states of Derby and Forest when we consider all cr@p we had to take from Jom etc. In fact Forest are in such disarray I find it hard to summon up the 24 hours of hatred that is the precursor to our meetings. With Forest fans not caring if they lose where is the sport.

If the best they can come up with is to recall our last foray into the Premiership then they are weak ground as where were they while we were in the Premiership? They would probably still be there were it not for the dodgy dealings of Ken Bates and the FA retaliation so perhaps they are returning to their rightful place.

A trophy that you've never won and will never ever ever ever win. Must really gripe.

"Also when Derby were in the third tier (1990s) the average gate was 12,000"

You might want to check your facts there homeslice.

Does anyone know how to withdraw Ebay bids...?

I bid on a birthday present for a friend's son who wanted a Mickey Mouse outfit, and I'm 6 minutes away from owning Forest

"Sorry 13,589 average in 1994/5

12,000 would have been embarassing!"

The BBG only had 18,000 capacity. I can only conclude that 4,000 seats were obstructed view or unsafe.

Also, we weren't in the 3rd tier in the 90's. See, our apathy has nothing to do with league position.
