I don’t actually think that would’ve happened, or at least I hope not. It’s just convenient for all involved really isn’t it. It gives the PL less of a headache with threats of legal action if a club goes down due a points deduction.
The more all this goes on, the less I actually want Derby to be in the Premier League. The journey to get there would be great, but it won’t take long for all enjoyment of football to get sucked out by whatever this modern elite football is.

Apologies, I didn’t read the post you quoted. I still don’t necessarily think that wanting to spend £250k on Adams rather than £500k indicates how much we will spend. It’s been a while since we’ve freely spent frees on players, but going back to meeting club’s asking price at the first time of asking isn’t what I’d want to see us doing.
Adams has been excellent for us but he still is a player who has never proven himself above the third tier and isn’t wanted by his parent club. If we don’t spend £500k on him, then I don’t think it means we won’t/can’t spend £1mil on somebody else.

Michael Tonge?

Were they not meant to decide this last week? The cynic in me says this is an easy decision given the weekend’s results. No uproar from other clubs when the deduction gets reduced, no uproar from Forest who are now very unlikely to go down no matter what.

When I was a child I used to think that if a goalkeeper got a clean sheet then it meant they didn’t get their shirt dirty in the game & therefore didn’t have to wash it.
Oh, not that kind of dirty?

Living in Uttoxeter i know a few Birmigham fans and on saturday i was lucky enough to be in the same pub as some of them as they got relegated.
I'd done a 15 mile charity walk from 0800 to 1230 and we went to my local, the Three Tuns in Utch for a buffet and drinks. The walk was in memory of a fellow Rams fan who passed last year with proceeds to Macmillan.
As we gathered in the pub some local brummies were there who i knew and their match was on telly. 
I'd done the walk in a Rams shirt so was wearing it in the pub. As the game progressed and we saw that they were going down one of them came over and gave me a bit of stick cos of me Derby shirt. 
I reminded him that my son had given him a good hiding 20 years previously and it would be embarassing for him to receive one from someone his dad's age!
His dad came over and dragged him back with profuse apologies.
 
I have zero reason to be sorry that Birmingham have gone down!

Not necessarily. We got ourselves into a mess by recklessly chucking over the odds money on players. I’d rather we didn’t just say “oh go on then” and double our offer on a player, even if that’s ultimately what we think he’s worth.
If we save a couple hundred grand on a few players just by not rushing to overspend, then that’s the money for an extra player left over.

Paddy McNair available on a free.
29 years old, primarily a CB, but can also play RB, DM & CM. Might be too expensive wage wise, he’s played 200+ Championship games so that kind of experience is probably going to be quite sought after.

The links have started already, Bosun Lawal who has been on loan at Fleetwood this season. With a name like that, he might be more suited to Portsmouth.

Elias Burke took over from Ryan, he left to report on West Brom, and he’s a West Brom fan so probably would’ve moved on regardless of our league status.
Ryan Conway was great, an Arsenal fan who really invested himself into Derby as a club and a city. Pretty sure he even moved to Derby for the role?
He left due to some MH struggles, but has still produced some great Derby content, including books. It would be brilliant if he did come back.

I'll wait for Oldben to post this before reading it, thanks.

If we’ve offered 250k and they want 500k, somewhere in the middle seems pretty reasonable. 375-400k would be a good deal for him, you can’t overstate his importance and I think he can carry that into the league above too.

Missed a trick not putting 4 bananas on your head for the final photo.

It’d be interesting to see what would be “acceptable” to sell him, providing all of it was reinvested into the squad.
His new contract bumps his price up from what we were going to get when he nearly went last summer, so does another season of performing excellently.
If we got £6-7mil, as well as a loan back, then that could make a huge difference to the make-up of our squad.

That On the Beach advert in the airport lounge, every single one of that family are infuriating.

My voice still hasn’t come back, I’m worried I may never speak again.
My partner is asking if it’s possible for Derby to get promoted every week.
