A minor point, but for the people moaning about letting Tom Lawrence "freeload" and train with us, while he doesn't have a club - players talk to each other, and having a reputation for being good to players is absolutely a benefit in encouraging other players to sign with us.

Season ticket renewed.
On the off chance anyone has the same issue as me - if you're with HSBC and get a security prompt asking to use either the HSBC App or an OTP to verify the purchase, you can only use the App if you're using the same device the app is set up on to make the purchase.  If you're e.g. on a desktop and have the App on your phone or something, it will error out.  Just use the OTP method instead ?.

I run a subscription-based website (not Porn!).  I've literally seen people fill the "name on card" field in with "VISA"...

It's just not even comparable to the signings we were making a few years ago.
Under Mel we payed extortionate transfer fees for over the hill players with no re-sale value on long term contracts and massive wages.
We are in league one and we've just signed a good player on a free transfer, two year deal and minimal wages. Hourihane is a good character and has never let anyone down. We fought off championship interest to get him. It's not even close to being the same thing. Some fans need to wind their neck in.

It's not really a pay cut when you're out of contract though.  The only real question is what other clubs are offering them.  A lot of clubs are struggling post-COVID, and will be cutting their spending accordingly.  If we're competing with the likes of Luton and Huddersfield, then I doubt they are offering them similar terms to what they were on last season either.

Oh yeah, I don’t expect either have been offered their previous wages matched by anywhere. But I do feel Championship clubs will still be offering decent money, so I’m pleasantly surprised they’ve chosen to come here instead.

Is it embarrassing to sue a club for outcompeting you for players, when that club is in a lower league than you, and under a heavy spending restriction? Asking for a friend…

Adding to our threadbare squad in this moment, days after a takeover was completed and the insolvency arrangements agreed in order to settle the debts, which in turn allows the club to continue functioning according to an agreed plan and with sensible restrictions in place rather than going bust….is not cause to be raising concerns in the media around our spending or questioning the goings on behind the scenes. It’s about the only time in years we should be resting easy with the approach the club is taking.
Derby are recruiting sensibly within the restrictions placed on the club, if we’re not we will be expelled from the league as per the EFL statement.
