Derby County so tame as they make Cup exit – and even boos are half-hearted

“Thanks for that Stivians,
I think it's certainly worth a few quid, although I'm not going to splash out and buy every other Club's accounts to check on their wage structure, guess I'll rely on common sense for that.

I wouldn't normally dream of posting as aggressively as that, but I too will not be patonised and won't accept people's self-inflated opinons being constantly rammed down my throat.”

“No BnW you can only view either on Director check all the relevant details of that director and load officers. On the company search you click on the company and the details of that company will come up with the option to buy certain copies of the certain aspects of the accounts you require by clicking on further information. In you go and the documents are sometimes free but more than often £1.00 each. Good luck its a good read. I have been called an idiot by Derwent at least three times and my response was probably reported and then deleted from the forum. I also apologised to other readers but refuse to be patronised by him/her. Fellow Ram or not I will not accept that kind of response without having my say. Up the Rams!”

“First of all Tramway, I hear what you say about everyone having the right to an opinion, and I totally agree.
I was simply exercising my right to an opinion over Derwentx's condescending way in which he constantly tells us that he knows all about the Business aspect and finances of DCFC as if we are all financially clueless naive idiots.

However, judging by your crack, 'Better also to be an informed fool rather than an uninformed one !!' then maybe you think that's true. You are of course entitled to your opinion.

If you read his post again, you will notice that it was he that resorted to insults with,
'So don't get out of your depth son and get back to your homework." at someone who dared to even question his statements.

Maybe my annoyance at this, did get the better of me and I over reacted. If people feel that's the case then I appologise unreservedly and will rein myself in a bit.

Stivians 11, yes I agree anyone can access Companies House for free but can you see the actual balance sheet which gives information on expediture, 'wages' etc without paying?
I'm not sure you can but I'll certainly stand corrected if I'm wrong.”

“GSE are not in it to win it or to make friends Wicklow! They are here to market a commodity and grow their reputation to that end. When they disappear into the sunset I can only hope that DCFC has not suffered as a result because the club is more important than anything to the fans. We are still a big club with long term aspirations but so are the rest of the clubs in our league and below. You just have to look at the FA Cup and what a disaster the defeat to Blackburn was on Saturday and see the clubs still in the competition to realise where we are as a famous club with brilliant supporters.”

“I am reading lots of claptrap flack designed to distract from the core issue which is that The Manager and his crew are simply not up to the job of getting The Rams promoted - not even close. So he must go and go he will, but only when or if the slothsome GSE wake up and smell their Starbucks.
Are we supposed to watch other clubs strive for success through change but just keep turning up to watch this bumbling effort? The club needs invigorating and GSE can win back many friends with a change of strategy on management. Sam Rush please take note.
Change may make things better, it could make things worse, but one thing that is unforgiveable is the suffocation of our aspirations due to the indefensible intransigence of the owners.
TFC...long since passed.”

“BlacknWhite
Better also to be an informed fool rather than an uninformed one !!
Everyone has a opinon and you are out of order in your attack on a fellow Ram.”

“Wow Blacknwhite that was really a humdinger at our friend DerwentX. Anyone can log into companies house and also director check and believe me they are both worth a read! It is free to view details but if you require further information ie. year end accounts you have to pay a small fee. We often use these services to check out potential problem customers and also defaulted directors from the past which you know the name of and want to check them out. i have recently queried derwents rants to be responded by him/her by being called an idiot. The DET deleted my response but I felt better for saying it even though I was reported. I have also viewed DCFCs accounts although my interests lie on the field of play and gaining promotion to the Premiership asap. I am not fixated with the clubs finances i just want to see us do well. This exit from the FA Cup is a massive retrograde step financially for DCFC and our loyal supporters. Lets not hide behind GSE have or GSE are pumping money into DCFC lets give them the rest of this ordinary season to sort the club out properly all of our sakes.”

“My god Derwentx, you have to be the most unintelligent idiot I have ever had to converse with.

And yes, I will get below my depth to reply to you.

So you're sitting there with all the football club's accounts in front of you from Companies House.
So how much has that cost you?
If you know anything about that, (which obviously you don't sonny boy), you'd know Company House charge a fee for that.
Maybe you've saved your pocket money up to buy it.
Unless of course you're some junior book keeper at DCFFC looking over someones shoulder.
Either way, what sad ***t would even do that?

In your past boring posts, you've quite clearly eluded to the fact that you work there, so stop trying to be someone who knows more than others.
Try to have an honest, unbiased opinion for once in your life.

As for the statement of 'no expectation of repayment' these people are business people, they invest to reap reward for goodness sake!!!!
why else would they do that!!!!

Christ, you're so thick, do you actually think the people on this forum are as stupid as you?

Listen to me pal,

Better to be silent and thought a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt.”

“PS Blacknwhite - cut the 'employers' ****. Just because I don't believe that money grows on trees it doesn't make me an employee of Derby County. It just means that I think about where the money has to come from and why we got into a mess in the first place.”

“I don't base my thoughts on guesswork or assumptions Blacknwhite, I have Derby County's accounts in front of me and I can view the accounts of every other club on the Companies House website. The figures I am giving you are from the last published accounts of the clubs concerned. They are not fanciful, not made up, not a hunch.

Yes, I support the owners because they have pumped in £36.6 million SINCE they bought the club to keep us from going into meltdown. In the last published and audited accounts they put in over £9 million and since those accounts, which cover the period until last June, they have put in a further £3.5 million. What's more they have guaranteed to keep funding the club and, for the 4th year, they have voted not to take a dividend. Out of the £36.6 million they have put into the club we owe them £18 million which is an interest free loan and we do not make any repayments off the capital. We do not have a large overdraft and the revolving oan is all but paid off. By taking on the debt themselves ('with no expectation of repayment') they have saved us nearly £1 million per year in interest payments. Only one Director takes a salary and that's the Chief Executive.

So don't get out of your depth son and get back to your homework.”
