Derby Gone.

Good, I will never forget nor forgive the pitch invasion,  it was our neighbours who put the final nail in. :005:

[rebel]

They might have more points deducted next season. They had momentum, came so close, then Reading just motored. Tom Lawrence always seem to get sent off. A stupid non challenge.

[ffcne]

Good.

It was Reading's extra time goal that did it.

It should have been us doing the nailing.... :016: :022:

Considering the points deduction they did a great job of trying to stay up. Shame when business and off field crimes lead to a clubs downfall. Without the deductions they would have done well even with all the problems of fielding a team.

Teams in league 1.
Derby
Bolton
Ipswich
Sheff Weds
Sunderland
Portsmouth.

Have all been top flight not too long ago.
It's a hard game when you drop down lower leagues to get back.

Well not that great,add their 21 point reduction,and they would only be 17th.

Yes but they were scrabbling to get players signed. A pretty good season would have been 17th.

I agree, if you look at their actual stats, a pretty solid defence, offensively a problem scoring goals.
Knowing that you are going to have points deducted has a different mindset, then a clean slate.

[FacundoSavasfacemask]

Bit gutted to be fair, Rooney has done a sterling job there. Playing lots of kids.
I dont really dwell on distant past like others on here, and dont like seeing teams potentially going out of business.

Sunderland and Shef. Wed. are big clubs with big grounds, and good fan bases, really should be in the premier league, there must have been some bad management there.

oh dear, how sad, nevermind

[Andy S]

It's not a case of going out of business it is a case of being punished for attempting to break the rules which would have affected other clubs while giving themselves an advantage. They have done it more than once

they would have been better to take their points lost last season going down and rebuilding they basically put it back a year at the cost of Wycombe

[MartyFFC]

He sounds as thick as mince when being interviewed, however Rooney has done a decent job there I'd say. That said, nice to see them drop

[St Eve]

I don't want them or any other team to go out of business, but they broke the rules. They cheated. No sympathy at all

[FFCFOREVER]

Just relegated.

Lol. Great stuff
