    roboto got a reaction from Miggins in Who will be our first signing?   
    Right. I’ve had time to let the disappointment sink in (we’re all used to it now). My positive spin to get us through the weekend… you don’t have to agree.
    Weve signed some players to fill out the first team for the first fixtures. A couple of experienced CBs and a goalie who is decent enough back up.
    The transfer window is still open for the rest of the month and we have to get this embargo stuff sorted in the next week or 2. Once that is done we are hopefully able to sign more players with less/no restrictions.
    These signings aren’t the end of our transfer window, there is still time to add more quality (which we desperately need) in time for the window closing.

    Pretty sure Marshall will go. Nothing concrete except my feelings that his mysterious injury/illness when players weren’t paid followed by a massive drop in form second half of last season. Not sure he really wants to be here tbh.

    So we've essentially not signed any of the trialists that looked half decent

    I’ve spoken to David, he’s done his report, sent it to the club to check it’s ok with them.
    The clubs not managed to get it signed off yet. One can only assume that they have other pressing matters, players contracts etc if you read what Mr Nixon has said.
    I’m assured that there is some further detail to what’s already been released by the Punjabi Rams and Jim Wheeler on Radio Derby.
    I was worried that everyone was waiting with baited breath only for the exact info to be in David’s report that was already out there anyway.
    Please try and see it from his side, he’s piggy in the middle, and wants to make sure everything is ok with what’s in his report.
    As far as I’m aware, due to David having to leave just before the end to catch the last train he missed an agreement to let Jim Wheeler do a piece to RD this morning.
    But, that’s not what we go to the charter meetings for. We go to ask questions and to report to our members, not be a face to a joint statement. 

    David never put our name to a recent open letter to the club, and will never do so.
    So please be patient, the timescale is out his hands, and he’s getting grief left right and centre on Social Media. In my opinion non of the other groups who were there are.  But that comes with us being the biggest group of Derby County supporters on the internet.
    He’s losing his hair, what he has got doesn’t want turning grey.

    David said he's getting his post fact checked before he can put it out there. I suspect after the reaction to the Punjabi Rams tweets last night (to which they've been really quiet about today) and the guy who got his few minutes of fame on local radio this morning, that the club decided that they need to make sure that the supporters reps who were at the meeting last night need to word there responses more carefully so people don't all jump to worst case scenario reactions.
    I think the intentions behind the meeting are correct - to clear the air and give some answers to people they think they can trust and will be able to communicate well with the rest of the fan base. However, the demand for answers from fans and the knee jerk tweets last night have intensified the feelings between fans and chairman/club instead of putting people at ease.
    I'm sure we'll have some sensibly worded responses/reports from last nights meeting soon and also find out the answer to the important question... Does Mel have pineapple on his pizza? If he does, he can F right off out of here...

    I'm pretty sure the whole meeting, or even just the points allowed to be discussed publicly, can't accurately be surmised within the Twitter character limit. Punjabi Rams released those tweets quickly and possibly didn't expect how much blood the twitter "fan" base  was baying for.
    The phone-in guy this morning seemed a little more balanced and was able to articulate a little more.
    I'm reserving my judgment until we can be told what we can be in a bit more detail.
    I'm not saying what PR or RT have put out there so far isn't honest, just that more detail is needed if possible.
