Not sure why there is so much concern about players deals expiring today. If they want to join us or stay with us they will be happy to wait, look how many waited last summer.
They are probably already training with us, another couple of days waiting isnt going to hurt them.

Someone didn`t give Real Madrid that Memo then.
They`ve just won the Champions League and La Liga with Modric(37), Benzema (34), Marcelo (34), Kroos (32), Bale (32), Isco (32), Casemiro (30), Courtois (30), Alaba (29), Nacho (31), Carvjal (29).
But hey, footballs a young mans game !!!!
The secret is balance of experience and youth, we need more experience to go with our youth.
I`d welcome Chester and Hourihane.

Deontay Wilder = EFL
Tyson Fury = Derby County

I’m gonna go for a 2.30 announcement because this has been like pulling teeth for the last 9 months 

If we are signing players anywhere close to the calibre of Hourihane, Barkhuizen and Chester after literally being days away from not having a club I think I’ll have to go for a lie down. 
ridiculously good signings at league one level for any club, let alone a club close to death for the last year 

We danced under Morris
When Frank Lampard was the one
We danced past Dirty Leeds
Over the Forest scum
But we came down from heaven
When the Morris bubble burst
And in the end
We came off worst

Clowes, Clowes, Wherever you may be
You've saved the good name of Derby County
And you'll lead us all, wherever that may be
Even if it's in Division 3

We danced under Rooney
Though we knew it couldn't last
f*** the EFL
And that Stevie Gibson t***
Now we're back on level footing
No more crawling in the dirt
We are Derby County
And we'll finish 1st

Clowes, Clowes, Wherever you may be
You've saved the good name of Derby County
And you'll lead us all, wherever that may be
Even if it's in Division 3
 
 
 
 
 
... OH SHUT UP AT LEAST I TRIED! ?
 

Talk sport saying Liam was doing player deals last night, sounds like a few ready to be announced 

I don't know if anyone's said this yet (I haven't read the whole thread) but Liam Rosenior is on TalkSport yesterday at 11:30.

Admins tomorrow to Clowes...

I'd love us to build a young hungry team too. But that's not the pond we're fishing in. Plus, you need some battle hardned veterans in the midst of it.
We were limited to £6k/w whilst under administration. Unknown what it'll change to once we leave admin, but I can't imagine it'll be much above £10k/w for this season at least, if not into next season.
We also don't want to block the paths of the young players that are still here. I'd be amazed if they're all still here, but the team still contains Bielik, Bird, Knight, Sibley, Stretton, with contracts offered to Cashin, Thompson and a host of others.
Hourihane is only 31. Chester is 33. I'd say they're good ages for their respective positions, hardly old. Barkhuizen, also linked, is 28. That's only 3 of the 10 signings quoted. They might also be the three oldest.
I get your concern with wages, the last thing we want is a repeat, but it just won't happen under the EFL's business plan.

Calm down. One of the reasons we did so well under Lampard was because we had a great mix of youth and experience. We had the talent in Wilson, Mount, Tomori, Bogle etc. but they were also helped along by the experience and elder statesmen such as Keogh, Bryson, Johnson, Huddlestone, Nugent, Cole, I could go on...

Omar Niasse is someone we were linked with heavily in the past, played for Burton too, wouldn't be suprised if he was training with us.

We've been in administration almost a year, we've not been able to make a signing for god knows how long, we were on the brink of not even having a club anymore.
We finally look like we might be coming out the other side and some of our fans are moaning about potentially signing Conor Hourihane in league one.
Some of our fans really are something else. Give me strength.
 

Part of the same Hull City side as Davies and Rosenior, as was Odubajo briefly I think. Rosenior could have some pull with former teammates and his own contacts within the game. Hopefully we can get some of these rumoured players signed up…takeover first of course 

So 9n the may wages and how they were paid, I might be being dense (probably) - but the suspended 3 point deduction is for failing to pay wages, but the wages were paid?
The question is, was anything improper done in how the wages were paid?
Even if so, wouldn't that be a separate matter for the FA/League to investigate? You can't just say "it was fishy that the may wages were paid, you get 3 points deducted anyway".
I'm also being dense, even if Stretford footed the bill, how did he do that and what evidence of any agreement is there? Must've been done on the presumption CK was going to successfully but the club.
Sigh, kick DCFC = easy win for sports journalist.

They would be alongside Barkhuizen & Hourihane not instead of so not sure of the relevance.

So we might get the 3 point deduction for not paying the wages even though they were paid, what a load of nonsense, pointless article

Now I’m not saying I have any ITK knowledge but I’ve just been told that the takeover is completed and may be announced this evening.
Here’s hoping ?
 

East Midlands today mentioning Michael Johnson could be involved in some capacity to help Rosenior

Barkhuizen winger, Hourihane attacking mid so in a 4231 would both be in the 3, imo
