Stifler Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Derby administrators say they are not in a position to announce a preferred bidder, saying the prospective buyers have dragged their heels. They have also said that they may have to cancel or postpone their next match if fans continue to threaten to protest at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Totally off topic but does anyone have a single frame cartoon by David Squires, Fella getting hoofed in the back of his head knocking his tab out of his mouth while the blazer wearing pipe smoking ref waves play on? Can't find it anywhere and I'm sure I haven't made it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Derby fans have every right to protest, how dare the administrator try to blackmail them like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 On the 5 subs, I get why the big clubs want it but I assume for it to pass it would have needed 14 clubs to vote for it? In which case there are a lot of delusional clubs out there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I don't want 5 subs just because it interrupts the flow of the game too much IMO but in practice I don't think it benefits the big clubs much more than smaller clubs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 The 5 subs have to be split over 3 slots still, right? So at least there's not the potential for the game to be interrupted an additional 4 times per match. Still a bit shite like, don't even think it benefits anyone in particular either. Klopp has moaned about it on games where he's never even made a sub ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easiest way to get what you want, these days is to drive your customers to complain about the service you no longer want to continue.

The things I love about football are all the time wasting, needless rolling around, fake injuries and some good old added time controversy. Krafth wouldn't have a job anymore ffs and I would have to watch more actual football. Have to respect the forefathers who invented the game when there were no clocks that could be stopped.

Pata Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 How would it add to the advertising opportunities? And would a half-screen ad during an injury break really be such a big deal? They could also do it right now if they wanted to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
