It was the Derby board, with Mel Morris as Chairman, that took suicidal financial risks with the football club. Therefore, it should be those officers of the company, who put their hands in their own pockets to rescue Derby, and not HMRC (collecting money on behalf of the taxpayer)

Can we keep politics out of this football thread please...especially American politics ;)

Yes, the 'football creditors rule' means football debts are given priority. It has been around a while now, despite HMRC challenging it in court and losing the case. I just don't like how clubs take the piss & seek to improve their cashflows, by not paying over sizeable PAYE debts.

Many football clubs treat paying HMRC with total disregard, often running up big PAYE debts. HMRC eventually got fed up with clubs threatening them with going bust (and HMRC getting £0), and offering a pittance in settlement, so i totally get why HMRC don't seem to want to 'settle' any more. If...

Well said Duffer...my thoughts exactly

If homosexuality was a choice, why would anyone choose to be discriminated against purely because of the person they choose to share a bed with ?

Watched it and thought i was strong by not succumbing to any emotions, and it got me right at the end when they camera panned to him when we won Division 1, and he was punching the air...couldnt hold it back...no dust necessary here :cry:

Lovely guy...very down to earth and happy to chat with anyone. Legend is an overused word these days, but not in his case...he and George gave us our greatest footballing day, with let's be honest...a budget team...a remarkable achievement.

be dum tschhh ;)

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...who you couldnt beat

We really are the 'man utd of the championship' with all these late goals....great effort boys...you didnt let your head's drop after going 2-0 down

Wow, Sheaf's played 10 of 7 👈 Based on that MR obviously rates him highly ;)

Are we talking about the Newton Heath scarves...because they are gold and green ?

Decent point...dullish game. Shef Utd are going nowhere this year with that awful style of play. 3 points at home and 1 point away, if we can keep achieving that, would be good playoff form

Utd players are diving all over the place

Further -3 points suspended based on them following an agreed budget plan for the rest of the season. Bit of a joke really, as why would they overspend their budget for the rest of the season when they're practically relegated...meaningless 3 point 'suspension'

So far, they've only won 3 games all season !
