    NewquayRam reacted to DCFC1388 in Reducing Wages   
    Fully expect Jozwiak, Marshall & Lawrence to be gone in Jan. 
    Marshall - clearly out of favour
    Jozwiak - not getting game time, potential world cup next year so wont want to be in a 3rd division
    Lawrence - even though he is captain, he is a high earner who is unlikely to renew so if we can bring in any money for him as well as save on wages we should do
    Jan will be too soon for Bielik to go but if he gets fit he will be gone in the summer for the same reasons as Jozwiak.
    Out of contract in the summer - 
    Davies, Stearman, CKR, Forsyth, Shinnie, Allsop, Byrne, Roos, Morrison, Hutchinson, Watson, Buchanan, Cashin & Williams
    Can see Baldock extending in Jan and may drop down to League 1.
    Of those out of contract I can only really see Allsop, Hutchinson, Watson, Cashin & Williams renewing.
    Rooney may be able to convince Stearman, Shinnie, CKR, Byrne & Roos but im not sure. Davies may stay on with a player/coach role but if Luton or a Champ midlands team come calling he will be gone.
    We have the option to extend Buchanan which im sure we will do if we're allowed - dont want another Marriott situation.
    Morrison wont drop to League 1.
    Then our financial position will play a big role on what happens to Bird, Knight & Sibley as well as their desire to stay/leave

    Such a Shame. I probably should have bought one of those for us. I guess they must have a lot of waste on match day programs which is why they stopped them? Plus I guess they are becoming less popular than they used to be as everyone can get up to date news and team news on smart phones.

    For me, I've been frustrated by the ill thought out questions posed to other parties since admin was announced.
    For example, 

    The answers are obvious to anyone who has paid attention to the detail in the relevant cases.
    SWFC were issued with a 12 point penalty because their spending exceeded the P&S limits by £18m. Overspending by £15m or more results in a 12 point deduction (pending aggravating or mitigating circumstances). This was reduced on appeal based on the circumstances of the stadium sale.
    Derby's rumoured 9 points is not purely based on the 3 year period to 2018, which Mel said was roughly a £4m overspend (4 points) according to the EFL's interpretation of FRS102. Subsequent periods would cumulatively take the total to 12 points, but reduced by 3 as a token of goodwill. Of course, this argument from the club's side as that if Derby were charged when they should have been for that period, actions could have been taken to avoid failing future periods as well. There will also be arguments over how failed periods will be adjusted for the future P&S periods too.
    The EFL are in the right in being able to come to an agreement with the club, before charging the club. As you may recall, the EFL was scrutinised (particularly by the club) for charging the club in relation to the amortisation policy. The club were aware of inbincoming charge for the stadium sale, but were taken unawares by the amortisation charge.
     
    There gave been a few other questions I have been critical of. There is also one question which I am amazed hasn't even been asked yet... how has the club smashed through the £81m which we supposedly should have received for the stadium, whilst failing to pay £20m to HMRC and taken out a few loans since the end of the 17/18 season... the numbers just don't seem to add up.

    Whilst, like many, I am clearly interested in how much money he has, has anyone checked out whether this guy has ever been implicated in the murder of a journalist, or the oppression of a large number of people, particularly women and homosexuals? Actually, scrub that. Seems none of those are a bar to evidencing you are a fit and proper person to run a football club. Come on Chrissie boy, show us the money!

    He also said we need to play Sibley off Richards. I completely agree about playing someone there.
    We play one striker at a time and get no-one playing off them.
    He was also complaining that Lawrence never gets into the box, imo because he's always trying to score worldies. 
    I know we sacrifice attacking intent for defensive solidity, I get that, but I would like us to take the hand brake off sometimes.

    NewquayRam got a reaction from Premier ram in Our own song (yes this again)   
    My lads under 11’s team had a day training at Plymouth yesterday and then tickets to the match against Burton. It seems Plymouth have I Just Can’t Get Enough by Depeche Mode and it worked really well as a football chant. At the end they went top of the league and the atmosphere was electric as they were booming this song out. My son is still humming it today.
    I’m not suggesting this song at all but having a song like that, that you make your own can really get the atmosphere going. For what it’s worth I’m very much in favour of Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds. It sounds good when Ajax sing it and if ever a song is made for our predicament it’s that one.

    Being a long serving player he sometimes gets taken for granted. Several managers have bought in replacements and even promoted youngsters to his position.
    He’s seen them all off and he is just getting better with age. He’s been much over-looked for Scotland which, when you think they’ve even played Anya at left back is a travesty.

    Has taken some pelters this season. Form may be temporary but this lad is class and a born fighter too. Absolutely dominant in midfield today and played two or three sublime passes that really deserved to end in goals. In a dogfight, this lad's the first name on the team-sheet for me. I bet he's absolutely horrible to play against.
    A quick shout out to Ryan Allsop too. Tough start to his Derby career, but didn't crumble. He was excellent tonight.

    Quite right. I was in the away end yesterday and refused to join in any of the Billy Sharp songs but sang all the others. I actually like Billy Sharp and wish he’d signed for us in the past. We’ve played them twice this season and lost by the odd goal both times, both scored by Billy Sharp.

    That's my worry. 
    I used to go to football for the tribal pride, the enjoyment of the actual sport and a release of tension to just have a good time. 
    Winning enhances that. Losing dampens the spirit. But still whatever the results I'd be there next week loud and proud.
    Really reaching the PL was only really a goal because it meant more wins, more celebrations, more ammo to throw at other fans. It was never about the actual league and higher costs to follow
    I reckon if you still have the football bug then you're going to enjoy all that the PL offers in League 1 or 2 or whatever. 
    It will still be your Derby on the pitch with you in the stands. Does it really matter if the opponents are Man City or Man sfield? 
    The real worry is that the club will be gone or left soulless and you know nothing better to do on a Saturday afternoon than watching Premier League scores roll in
