Considering Vox run on outright anti-Islam platforms and we have players and fans who are Muslim or have families that are Muslim, It becomes a bit of a problem imo. 

All I can say is Wigan

Matt Hughes is weeping in the corner of their office as we speak.

That first 45 minutes at Bolton cost us so much money it’s hard to describe 

I don’t get it I listened to the whole hour and they didn’t mention cheese once

What havarti you done???
I know these puns are a bit of a gruyere area, but going straight to the boss is too much.......you need to think caerphilly!
 

For now!
Nice to know that in 2024 we can spend what we like ready to embark on our Champions League journey 

Except we follow the EFL's version (known as P&S), whereas UEFA FFP is for UEFA competitions such as the Champions League and Europa League.

Apparently Bucko has been back working part time in the academy, and will be stepping up to fill in for Bowyer whilst he's away (sorry if anyone already mentioned this)

All the commercial savvy of a wet wipe ?‍♂️

I don’t think they’ve forgiven Mel for having the temerity to insinuate The EFL didn’t get as good a deal from Sky as they might have. My understanding and it’s probably wide of the mark is Sky we’re the driving force in negotiations whereas The EFL should have been. They should have opened negotiations with terrestrial channels and BT (even as a bluff) to indicate to Sky it wasn’t a given they’d renew with them. 

Not even their money though is it, they use Championship clubs money to defend themselves in cases against the clubs.

Can't be bothered with this one, I'll always be an Abu Derby County thread fan. Is there any actual news? If so, is any of it not scary?

Harrison Solomon has just signed his first pro contract

It's been an emotional weekend for the Academy players. Good on them for stepping up today in a tough match. 

It's that time if year when there's a bit of a shuffling of the decks across the major academies (of which of course we're one).
We welcome young midfielder Bayo Fapetu who joins from Arsenal: https://arsenalyouth.wordpress.com/2021/02/26/u16s-midfielder-bayo-fapetu-leaves-arsenal-to-join-Derby-county/

Or if their name is Bielik?

Rooney is taking a holistic approach to his job, however. It can be revealed he called a meeting for all Derby’s under-23s and under-18s a fortnight ago to reiterate his demands after he became concerned over an easing of standards.
In strong terms, he told the young players they had much to do before believing they had “made it”. A source said: “He is genuinely interested in the whole club in way that’s not been seen for a long time in a manager.”
 
That's a great sign - A guy who has broken through from the youth setup at his hometown club (at a young age) but showed how important hard work was his entire career - They have to listen to that and great that he's getting so involved in the younger players development 

Makes sense why he had to miss the last game then. Fair play to Rooney for that comment, the door is definitely still open for Sibley. He knows his performances haven’t been good enough this season to break into the team, up to him to turn that around and show what he’s capable of. 

Matt Yates is on trial at Stoke City 

Any idea what position Zion plays?
Also, I’ve always wondered, is Max Bird the younger brother of Jared Bird who was in the Derby Academy two or three years ahead of Max?

Trialist, Trialists, Trialist and Trialust, any ideas? Me neither 

His little cameo on Saturday was excellent. 2 minutes on the pitch, and a great crunching tackle after closing a defender down.
Hope he does well.
