Then those other clubs would also be listed here:

It would be different for other club's but I think the best option for us would be for someone to be voted in by ALL fans (those with customer IDs) rather than someone from Rams Trust of other supporter group.

It's from the one off in December

Unpaid wages wasn't even one of the 5 embargo reasons ?

That's right

Excellent post but I'll pick you up on this one tiny detail...
it was the highest peaking sporting event on a single channel in UK history. Just behind the 1970 FA Cup Final replay (BBC and ITV) and a bout 5m behind the 66 WC Final (also BBC and ITV)

It's been 55 years since we've been to a final and we've only ever reached one semi final before in a European championship. The English team are literally making history, it's not a regular occurrence (literally once in a lifetime for most of us) but yet the broadcasters and us are making too much of it? yes, the coverage has been overly sentimental but you're writing as if you're alien to the world of football- the entire emotional dynamic of football (all sport really) is centered around sentimentality creating an emotional resonance that is by definition overindulgent and simultaneously fleeting. 

Combined with this is the easing of lockdown after a very long year and a half it's creating the perfect storm for a festival of 'cringeworthy joy' in your head I'm sure but for many of us it's an outburst of joy and sentimentality that football does bring in that 90 minutes (and for a few hours afterwards). Yes sweet caroline is an anodyne song on its own but when you have 70,000 people singing it at wembley or 200 in a crowded pub or 1,500 in a town centre at midnight it is not the song but the unity and collective joy that  it's emphasising and expressing giving it its power. 

 Have you not seen the tv viewing figures for all the games since the knockout rounds? The semi final was literally the most watched live event in UK tv history- pretty much the entire country was watching as the audience share was creeping around the 90% figure and I don't believe that even counts the pubs. I mean even newsnight were covering it for a good portion of their show. So, the 'insinuation' that the vast majority of the country were watching and invested was just stating the truth that we were. 

If you don't want to watch that's of course up to you and if you find the entire atmosphere cringe inducing then that's your opinion. Yes, people overstate the ability of football to bring people together (world cup 2018 for example) and yes it is overly sentimental that can be deemed as off putting akin to forced enjoyment. But when the vast majority of the country is watching and celebrating it's not unfair to point that fact out. Personally, I love tournament football precisely for moments like these where people generally let go of big differences for small periods of time, stop thinking about the more important stuff have some fun and enjoy one another's company. Actually, it's why I love football full stop!

What a drag it is...

What a drag it is...

At least all the players will be able to sing a long to it

Clearly WR reads this ??

That’ll do ?

More chance of him having a period than Derby being able to afford to pay him that

In the hope that they don't count our U23 game vs Chorley, I count 19 to have played in a real first team game: Marshall, Roos, Byrne, Ebosele, McDonald, Buchanan, Forsyth, JBrown, Knight, Bird, Bielik, Shinnie, Sibley, Watson, Hutchinson, Lawrence, Jozwiak, Kazim, Stretton
Davies' extension would make it 20, Wisdom's 21.
The Chorley game adds 8 to the list: Bardell, Williams, Solomon, LThompson, Aghatise, Ibrahim, Duncan, Cybulski
I find it strange that a 'professional goalkeeper' is defined as someone with 5 starts, whereas someone of 'professional standing' only needs to have come on as a sub for the final second of a single game.
Further down on the EFL page, it is stated considerations will be given in the circumstances of Academy players. Given 3 of the Chorley 8 are still 2nd year scholars, they should be exempt from the 'professional' list.
They also state considerations will be made for Championship clubs with fewer than 24 'established players' - those with 5 starts. This would actually cut our list down to just 14, or 16 if Davies and Wisdom extend their deals. If excluding those under 21, it's even lower at 10.
Summary: it's up to the EFL if they want to let us sign anyone

I've got to agree with you here. I'm struggling to think of a reason why estoppel couldn't be used in the original case which would mean it can be if we're charged for overspending.
I would say that the submitting the accounts in good faith should result in a reduction in the penalty though.
If we had known we couldn't use our amortisation policy we would have recruited/sold differently to remain compliant under a standard method.

A convenient list for the authorities of people that need their hard drives checking.

Hutchinson - Struggled to get in Forest Green's side in L2, so it's not too surprising that he isn't part of our first team. I imagine he'll be out on loan again this season
Duncan - Hasn't proven himself in the U23s yet and will be 4th choice CF at best by the time the new season actually starts
Taylor-Crossdale - If it is him, then it's likely similar to the Hector-Ingram signing. A bit of a cheap punt on someone who at some point showed great promise (20 goals in 21 U18 games in 16/17 and 6 in 8 U23 games in 17/18)
 
Leeds Ram just doesn't rate any of our academy players
