The part that claims that homegrown talent such as Tom Huddlestone and Lee Grant were sold due to financial issues needs to be changed. Tom Huddlestone was sold, but Lee Grant is still a Derby County footballer.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.73.34.121 (talk • contribs) 10 May 2007

Lee Grant was sold and then came back to Derby (Since left for Stoke), just as Tom Huddlestone has done.

Who thinks we will stay in the championship 82.132.245.196 (talk) 15:27, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No one. This isn't the place to chat about the club, mate! It's to chat about the page and how it can be improved. Codeye (talk) 01:33, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The whole administration saga has been continuing for many, many months now - yet there is very little mention of it on the DCFC page. I came here to better understand the reasons Derby are in administration and to learn what the present situation is in terms of ownership.

I could write it for you guys if you like, but I'm a Forest fan and I guess that no matter how impartial I tried to remain, I'd be accused of bias and my contributions would be reverted.

Could I respectfully ask that someone interested addresses the issue here, please?

Thank you. Codeye (talk) 01:31, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

HiCodeye. There is a detailed section in the article that is almost solely about the administration process ("Championship struggles and administration") which has been updated regularly over the past six months. I updated it today to include the latest BBC Sport report. What do you feel is missing? Best wishes. Paul W (talk) 12:48, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Paul, How strange! I either completely missed that or perhaps the page had been vandalised when I read it?! Reading it through, I think you have summed it up more than well enough, so please accept my apologies. All the best (and thanks for your reply) Codeye Codeye (talk) 22:25, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. Paul W (talk) 17:18, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Is the history section not too skewed towards recent years? Although the administration fears are very important to cover, it seems wrong that about half of the history section is covering the last two years when Derby County have 139 years of history to summarise. Would it be better to trim this down or move most of it onto a separate article (History of Derby County F.C. (1967–present)) to avoid issues with WP:Recentism?
