Ghost of Clough

@Ken Tram, it's as Carnero says up until we clear the HMRC bill.
Then restrictions loosen, allowing us to definitely sign some players.
We won't be able to pay a fee for players (loan or permanent) until we also submit the accounts and P&S calculations for all relevant seasons.

We were  talking about the list if we excluded the Chorley game.

19 iirc

From left to right: Baldock, Kazim, Hutchinson, Liam Thompson
Hutchinson is the one I thought was Plange from the brief clip yesterday

Just JBrown, Cashin, Wilson and Duncan left to spot

2 first year scholars, 1 second year scholar, and 6 first year pros starting. Plus 2 trialists
3 first year scholars, 3 second year scholars, and 4 first year pros on the bench. Plus 1 trialist.
 
JBrown, Cashin, Williams, CDixon, LThompson, Hutchinson, Wilson, and Duncan not part of the squad. [All 2nd year pros or older]

He's still got 1 year left on his contract

Professional Standing = is any Player who has made one first team appearance (including as a sub) for any Club in any first team competition (EFL Trophy appearances do not count).
Duncan does not count
I'll be surprised if Clarke does as it's before the 1st round proper
Robinson likely doesn't count as it isn't a professional league.

Just listened, not sure how any of that could be seen as directions from the top.
Just sounds like Cocu’s reasoning which is perfectly understandable.

Hutchinson + JBrown = 19
If we include Wisdom and Davies = 21

2 first year scholars, 1 second year scholar, and 6 first year pros starting. Plus 2 trialists
3 first year scholars, 3 second year scholars, and 4 first year pros on the bench. Plus 1 trialist.
 
JBrown, Cashin, Williams, CDixon, LThompson, Hutchinson, Wilson, and Duncan not part of the squad. [All 2nd year pros or older]

Embargo limit of £600k pa

Its an interesting one but I do think players like Davies, Shinnie & CKR dont need an armband to be leaders.
This could be a really good thing for Lawrence. I felt when he returned from injury he looked to take on the responsibility of being our main attacking threat & stepped up to the plate at a crucial time of the season. Maybe he is a players who thrives off responsibility. He doesnt need to be someone who screams & shouts but he can lead by example on the pitch & he certainly has the quality to do it. 
People say alot about his attitude on the pitch but I think thats just how he comes across, he doesnt get enough credit for his workrate and the defensive side to his game. He also clearly has the respect of the other lads.

They'll be pending up until we get out of a hard embargo
Short-term options - as we're restricted to offering just 1 year deals under a soft embargo. Low wages and out the door again at the end of the season. They'll also be playing. The deadwood you refer to - Butterfield, Blackman, Anya, etc... - were all on high wages, long term deals and not playing
Which promising 20-something player is available on a free and willing to sign a 1 year deal?

No, but they have been given squad numbers which I believe is an indication that they will be signing when restrictions are lifted
Jagielka - 6
Stearman - 16
Morrison - 29
Aluko - 24
Baldock - 18

Luke Plange is the academy player
I didn't spot Sibley, Watson or Stretton from the Luke Jenkinson clip.
Jozwiak still on an extended break.

well it doesn't stop many of the posters on here ?

Definitely too young. My first game was when I was 4. You're too young to consent to a lifetime supporting Derby County at that age, a burden I will take with me to my deathbed. 

I was 4 for my first game. With it being a reduced capacity friendly I don't see any problems.
A full capacity league game can be a bit intimidating for some, so it's a good chance to test.
I second this suggestion
