It's brilliant. Especially as they're all expecting Premier League in the first series and they go the other way.
And then David Brent changing the stadium music in the second series
I watched that again the other week. It's beautiful.
Football's Mr Fix-It caught in sting to sell cash-strapped Derby
Undercover reporters met with Samuelson on behalf of an investor they called 'Mr X' and they were told how he could help their 'boss' in getting around the Football League's Fit and Proper Persons' test.www.dailymail.co.uk
Anyone else seen this when Derby fans thought it couldn't get worse

I thought it was impossible for Al Jazeera to look like the good guys
Football really is a cesspit at times
I only read this board but just had a quick look out of curiosityThe full AJ story was posted on the ‘Football & Other Sports’ board last week.
Oh no...Derby sign Phil Jagielka.
With his towering stature and youthful energy, we're all in trouble now
going by some of the names mentioned on here I’m surprised we weren’t in for him
Some on here wanted a back 3 of Fadz, Dann and Cranie. I'm sure Jagielka could have played CB and Cranie out to RWBgoing by some of the names mentioned on here I’m surprised we weren’t in for him

39 years of age, had no pre-season to speak of, and hasn’t played regular 90 minutes for 3 years or so. ........ what could possibly go wrong?Oh no...Derby sign Phil Jagielka.

How about Paolo Maldini Im sure he still has a lot to give39 years of age, had no pre-season to speak of, and hasn’t played regular 90 minutes for 3 years or so. ........ what could possibly go wrong?
Or... played more English top flight games last season than our entire squad has in their careers, trained with Derby all pre-season and, let's be honest, is probably there as a favour to a mate until January, in the hope they don't need to use him that often.39 years of age, had no pre-season to speak of, and hasn’t played regular 90 minutes for 3 years or so. ........ what could possibly go wrong?
I fail to understand why Derby need even more time to present audited accounts......it’s not hard..... unless you’re trying to manipulate the recordSee they have an extra week to present their accounts.
And the sad thing is that you believe that.They're a brand that the EFL feels is within their commercial interest to keep in the division. Both due to club size and the fact Rooney is in charge.
It's as simple as that unfortunately.
And the sad thing is that you believe that.
Because it's Wayne Rooney's Derby County.
No it is because they are acting within embargo rules
And you're horribly naive if you don't believe that.
The embargo allows players to be signed - this is clearly within the EFL rules. The issue is around professional standing. The EFL have conceded that the squad only had 18 players of professional standing and therefore had to sign 5 more to an already reduced squad of 23.
Points deductions can only come into force if the FFP rules have proved to be broken on submission of the accounts
The EFL cannot just ignore its rules because it is Wayne Rooney - the rules are agreed amongst all members

It can mould or relax the punishment to suit their own agenda though - which they did with Sheffield Wednesday. It reduced the 12 point deduction when there was absolutely zero grounds for it to be and the reasoning they gave was pathetic.
If they find anything untoward in their accounts then I expect similar leniency.
I don't believe in points reductions anyway unless clubs fail to pay players for a period of time or fall into administration - I don't see the point in the FFP rules

Us and a few other clubs were in embargo for not filing accounts on time despite govt legislation allowing for it. No extension was given despite the club not having to legally submit them.
So why were Derby given an extension? After all their's was only to resubmit parts of the accounts, not all of them and the original fault was the clubs for massaging the figures. Something like that should have been simple to rectify and the only reason it could be taking longer is cos the actual figures don't tell the story they want. Well, tough shit.
It's like a kid being caught cheating in an exam and then been given extra time at the end to finish.
So you're happy with clubs totally taking the piss and running unlimited losses to chase the dragon
