Big BIG difference between them and us though SR. They tried to do it by cheating and rule bending.
We did it though sticking to the rules, hard work and a f*****g dogged determination!
And a bit of trial and (big) error....
But who cares, we are there! And sheep are......in League 1 - at best.

I know, and that makes it even more ironic. Not only did they throw £millions at it they also tried to bend the rules and it still didn't work out.
It just proves the point at the end of the day that cheats never prosper.
Too right. Not when you're in some kind of affiliation that relies on all other members playing by rules. If you break the rules and try to do over the others then eventually the others say no more and bite back. That's what's effectively happened. The EFL are all the clubs and the clubs are the EFL.

It might work in their favour. If Steve Morgan can get the backing he looks a decent owner. Didn’t do too bad at Wolves. Surely it’s getting too late though, how much longer will the EFL allow them

Mad Mel gambled with Derby and lost.
Looks like his second gamble with his puppet administrators is in danger of going the same way.
oh dear....

#dcfc in race against time to find buyer after Chris Kirchner fails to complete deal. League One fixtures released in under 2 weeks. Appleby & Ashley interested. Quantuma under increasing scrutiny and should never be allowed to work in football admin again https://t.co/KwDPXPWNY3 ~ Percy

So the person we suspected of being a charlatan, phony, gamester, quack and timewaster actually turned out to be a charlatan phony, gamester, quack and timewaster, allegedly. Very shocking and surprising
And because of his Billy big ball persona that everyone except the desperate and deluded could see through, derby are well and truly up a certain creek without a paddle.
Better?

As of tonight: Andy Appleby group have contacted Quantuma “multiple times” this week with no response. Mike Ashley group, through Lee Charnley, are also saying the same. Mindboggling ~ Percy
