So if we have an £8m spending limit per season for 2 years, and IF we were to get promoted this season, the following season in the Championship would be very tough to compete financially
It would be a nice problem to have I guess but puts into context the issues we face & slaps down the other clubs fans who believe we have 'got away with it'.
 

Balls to that. 
I'm waiting for Spreadsheet Manager 2023 to come out, before hitting it 16 hrs a day.

Took a bit of time out to gather myself, have a bath, listen back to Radio Derby and get a glass of my special occasion drink (White Peak Distillery cask rum, summit local). I hope everyone is having whatever it is they want to drink.
Can’t really add anything that hasn’t already been said. All my thanks for everyone’s efforts last season. From Rooney and Rosenior, the players and staff who kept the club going in the darkest days. You can all hold your head high for what you did.
The fans who did everything they could, from filling the stadium to organising marches etc etc. Also the supporters groups who tried to get answers.
The journalists who kept us informed as much as they could, this was a mess from start to finish and was impossible to report accurately on. Many lessons will be learnt but we should appreciate all their efforts from Nixon, Percy, @The Baron,Simon Stone and everyone else I’m forgetting about. Colin Murray, Dan Roan and the national journalists who gave #savederbycounty national coverage. 
Special mention to Ed Dawes and Radio Derby, who has lived this far longer than any of us realise because Morris was in his ear with his mess 2-3 years ago. He didn’t get it right all the time, I’m sure he can admit that, but he stood up when it mattered and deserves a pat on the back from Derby fans. Also let’s not forget Chris Coles who after so much crap Derby related news deserves his little moment tonight too!
Team Derby! Forkin, the council and the MPs who helped keep this in the spotlight and did a lot of background work. They have helped create a huge positive day for the city.
Thanks to @David, @Boycieand all the moderators on the forum for all their work and giving us the platform. Special mention to @Animal is a Ram for giving us ‘up to the second’ updates (and all those who sought to beat him, yes you @RoyMac5). Thanks everyone for the laughs in here, at some of the most frustrating times they were some genuinely funny days in here that made everything a bit easier. 
Finally, thankyou Mr Clowes. I hope despite inital reluctance this ends up being the best decision you ever make. I hope as fans we respect your privacy, but only after hearing your name being rang out by a sell out crowd on July 30th. 
I’ve probably forgotten someone, despite going on worst than one of those popmaster contestants who won’t shut up and go away, but I’m tired and wanna finish my drink and read transfer rumours like a normal football fan, so apologies to anyone who is forgetten.
Have a great night everyone, it’s much deserved 

The key thing from his open letter was keeping us as a category 1 academy. We've all seen first hand over the last couple of years, when we weren't able to make signings, how amazing the academy players were who stepped up. 

So happy, my dog called Cloughy died last night and it makes me so happy to see the club get saved today. It means so much. 

This is what my Alexa hears when me and the wife are child free on a weekend 

I sign business deals with multiple stakeholders regularly, it's basically my job. Maybe not as complex as this but that's irrelevant 
Even on a smaller scale it almost always takes longer than you think so giving out optimistic timelines is an absolutely ridiculous thing to do and just makes you look an idiot. Q have done that on multiple occasions during this process.
How have these fellas reached a level of tenure and seniority in their profession without figuring this out? Absolute clown show of a firm.

Well that didn't take long - and thanks for posting the gif so quickly as well.....

Can anyone post a link to the finger-tapping girl instead?  Might help with those final few strokes.

Smooth radio is all 1980s stuff, they're refering to the Maxwell take over. ?

Roy?

Can’t you just be grateful that we’ve got a club to support, and worry about the Champions League push when we’ve stabilised a bit? Hmm?

The EFL WILL PUBLISH THE RULES we will have to adhere to (with the threat of a suspended points penalty if we break them or break P&S rules again).  Once the embargo is lifted, we may be able to pay fees for players, bue these will be very low and capped by EFL.
The usual format of these rules (taken from the EFL website) will take the form of ...
There will be an agreed cap on Total Player Salary Costs of not more than £X Million in 2022-23, (possibly reducing to £Y Million in the following Season (e.g. as high earning Poles leave)), with a number of other conditions, including:
the Club will be permitted to have registered at any one time no more than 25 Permitted Players; the Club will not be permitted to pay or commit to pay any Transfer Fee, Compensation Fee or Loan Fee or any other form of payment (other than a sell on fee) in respect of the registration of any Player in excess of the level as agreed with the EFL; the average Salary of all new Contract Players registered from the date of this Agreement until 30 June 2024 (or 2025 depending on 2/3 year creditor agreement) will not exceed an average of the level as agreed with the EFL; the Salary of any new Contract Player registered from the date of this Agreement until 30 June 2024 (or 2025) will not exceed the level as agreed with the EFL; any contribution to fees paid to an Intermediary by the Club on the behalf of a Player will be limited to 3% of the Player’s Basic Gross Income (as defined in the FA Regulations on Working with Intermediaries); Bottom line is we will be run sustainably. No more overpriced crocked Poles or Buttercups. There are plenty of good released players out there this Summer. It's time we need to find and gel them into a team of fighters, not splurging millions on primadonnas.
