    Our fan base may well make us the biggest club in this division. We may well be generating two or three times more match day revenue than many of the other clubs. This is of little consequence if the financial restrictions we are being force to operate under, means we are one of the smallest clubs in terms of our spending power in the transfer market.  
    Until the EFL allow us to get off the naughty step, this is the situation Warne as to work with. I'm sure Warne was made aware of the budget he'd be working with when he took the job. 
    I think Warne as done well in his recruitment so far but unfortunately acquiring the players that can provide the goals needed to get us promoted, may require money being spent on a transfer fee. Something which as I've already said the EFL seem determined to stop us doing. 
    So yes while not quite being reduced to scrambling in the dirt. I do believe we'll need all the skills of our recruitment team to find the players Warne will need to finish assembling a squad capable of promotion.

    I see the women are equalling the men in one respect. Their VAR officials are just as crap as the mens.

    I always understood the reason why interest rates are increased, was to stop unneeded spending and encourage people to save their spare cash.
    The problem with this is, while the rise may stop people using credit cards and spending their money frivolously. Unfortunately people are now using all their money and in many cases money they haven't got,  just to keep a roof over their head and feed their family. Meaning they have no spare cash to save. If people do have some spare cash what incentive have they got to save? While the banks are quick to pass on the interest rate rises to mortgage borrowers, they seem to be slower in increasing the rates being paid to people with savings accounts.
    I'm definitely no economics expert, hell I struggle to work out the differences between the various types of interest rates. But I think just raising interest rates isn't going to work on bringing down inflation like it as done previously. There probably needs to be an entire new way for how our economy is run and regulated. What that would look like, I have not idea, I'll leave that to the appropriate experts.
    It may require some radical economic agreements with numerous countries,  hopefully starting with the control and taxation of the multinational companies that seem to ride roughshod over individual country's tax laws.

    Didums so  some people can't sit in their own seat.
    I normally sit in the East Stand, for the big FA cup games I'm forced to sit elsewhere, due to my seat being given over to the away fans.
    As for the other FA and League cup games, where only a couple of stands are open and there's no reserved seats for season ticket holders. If I don't buy my ticket as soon as they go on sale, I often end up moving to a different seat in the East Stand.
    So stop being such big kids, just get down to Pride Park, park your bum in any available seat and support the Rams.

    Derby County black and white army. It was black and white, when I started supporting the Rams. We may have enjoyed some great times during the blue and white era.
    It could be old age and senility  but I can't remember singing blue and white army, unlike the many times I've sung Derby County black and white army.
    We may have played in blue and white for a short period of our history but to me Derby County was, is, always will be Black and White.

    The straight forward answer is.  Trust Warne.
    While the loss of McGoldrick may leave a big hole to fill.  Warne will have identified the players he believes will score the goals that will be needed to get us promoted. He'll know how he wants the team to perform and the type of players he needs to achieve it.
