Our average age is going to go from like 20 to 32 at this rate 

I honestly think as time goes by we may become a bit disappointed and underwhelmed as the reality kicks in.
to summarise…. Weve just lost louis watson to luton… let that sink in.
a lad whos played at about 15 times still has a lot to learn has been drawn away from us cos he sees a greater opportunity and probably more money at luton town.
i hope like many have already said we dont end up filling the squad with aging journymen whos legs have gone. But then again perhaps thats all we can get atm.
we’re restricted with wages and so any semi decent young talent we have our eye on (eg watson) may be drawn to the champ if offered the chance.
Its going to be a real test for the club 

You’re spot on. The EFL can’t be forgiven for their role in this. I agree with other posters, without the pressure from our fans on local MPs and the government the EFL could’ve created another bury. It’s not the EFL hierarchy per se, it’s the fact it’s the clubs regulating themselves. Descends into mob rule protecting self interest so it becomes about making sure a club stepping out of line doesn’t get an advantage and ensuring it’s penalised and not about helping a club in difficulty survive. We have been more than punished and the EFL business plan will continue that punishment.
That being said, I think the business plan would hurt us more in the Championship. I think in league one we will have enough headroom to build a competitive side.

To be honest, that sounds like being given the keys to the transfer sweety shop compared to the last couple of years 

Our friends at the EFL didn't take long to point out we remain under embargo.
https://www.efl.com/news/2022/july/efl-statement-derby-county-exit-administration/
The relevant extract reads:
"As part of the conditions of continuing membership in the EFL, the Club, whilst remaining under a registration embargo, will be permitted to sign new players in accordance with the terms of a business plan. The plan, which has been jointly agreed by the new ownership and the EFL, includes restrictions in respect of transfers fees, player wages and agents’ fees. Any application to register players must comply with the terms of those agreed plans."
I guess we all knew this was coming. What the statement does not say, is how long this will remain for. Is it the whole season? Is it the following season as well? 
And what the terms are will dictate how competitive we can be. As before, we cannot even extend registrations for existing players without meeting the EFL's demands. While I'm grateful we still have a club, I will never forgive the EFL for what they did to us. 

When do we think the first signing either new signing or a contract renewal will be announced?

So… whos up for it then ??????

Ed dawes is a f****** legend 
welling up on radio…. Nothing but total respect for the guy 

thing u have to question though is how much does he want it.
if he had a burning desire to find a club he would have got himself fit.
he could have trained with numerous clubs im sure in order to do and he decided against it
tbh he was a bit of a boy wander growing through the ranks at liverpool and i wonder if hes mentally got himself enough out of the game and doesnt need it 

Ed Dawes crying on Radio Derby. No one can ever say a bad word about him again!

Massive thank you from me to all of you lot on this forum. This club has impacted my mood, it's given me highs and lows over the last 18 months but you lot have always cheered me up.
I've thought about binning this forum off, I've thought about binning football off entirely. 
Two things changed my mind, taking my three year old daughter to a couple of games last season (she loved it and the thought of not being able to do that again was a killer), and this forum.
Perversely, it's all sparked the love of it all in me again and I cant wait to see where we go from here.
Thanks everyone. Me and my little one look forwards to attending games for years to come.

Sums it up perfectly for me. 
 
I’d shout it from the rooftops if I wasn’t currently in Nottingham city centre!
