And why are we giving a trial to Allsop? If we only have 4 spaces available for new signings then a GK is not going to be one of them when we already have two experiences keepers.

I understand the anger and frustration, hell even shame of Derby fans right now but I'm not sure what Mel Morris is supposed to do at this juncture. 
He wants to sell but if no one wants to buy what can he do?
If he sacks Rooney that's another debt that pushes us back. 
We have to be very careful in choosing who we add to the squad and presumably that will be Rooney's decision. 
The problem for me lies with a bunch of players with no ambition. There's no one really barking at this team. There's no one saying give it to me cis I'm having a go. 
It's all sideways and backwards because that's the safe option. 
We lack physicality. I saw Bird, Aluko, Baldock, Buchanan all pushed off the ball with ease. 
We need to identify the players who will run through brick walls for Derby County and we need a different captain because Lawrence so often goes missing. 
That's not Mel's fault. 

As a club we are desperate for money. If another club has funds, it makes sense for them to circle us looking for talent. Buchanan did far better than I expected last season but in case you didn't realize, we are a club desperate for money.
People are saying we have no replacement but for a start we have Forsyth and Shinnie who can play there. 
If the money is decent we have too take it. End of. 
Some players improve and others regress. I don't know what direction Buchanan will go but if we have to sacrifice him for the good of the club, then so be it. I would rather sell young Lee, promising as he is, than Sibley or Knight.

Davies, Jagielka and Wisdom are definites, we don’t need Mengi as Forsyth can play left CB if needed.
Morrison has to be given a contract, we need better service if we need to rely on young forwards. I can see Lawrence being used upfront this season. 
 

Morrison & Bielik when fit with shinnie & then lawrence, joz and colin as a front three isnt a bad side 

Not that impressed with it but I don’t exactly stress over new kits.
£50 certainly puts me off buying one.
There’s no nod to the league winning kit there in my opinion.
Just release this and be done with it! 
 

The EFL's rule on the minimum strength of a playing squad even for a club under an embargo is there to protect the integrity of the competition. By including the players used for the Chorley game in calculating Derby's current squad strength they would be arguing against the very reason the rule was introduced in the first place.
If Derby had fielded the same team they did for the Chorley game for an end of season match with little consequence to the Rams (but possibly could effect other issues i the division) they would be done for fielding an under-strength team.

Put it in the q!

If the Chorley game is used against us then that will come back to bite the FA Cup in the future, no club will allow themselves to be stitched up like this.
it needs resolving before the transfer window closes.

Relax.
the new owner will be unveiled on Sunday wearing the new home shirt, flanked by a dozen new signings.
If I keep saying it then I might start to believe it ?

Derby are a big draw for signings.
Rooney is the same.
Both rely on the new ownership stabilising the club.
Just my opinion.

There’s nothing in that interview to alarm us anymore than we are already.
We’ve cleared the decks of players that we won’t give a second thought to and I predict that by the end of the transfer window we will have signed a few permanent and loan signings. Rooney will have his squad to be judged against instead of past managers working with players inherited.
I’m sure that there are players willing to wait if it means playing for Derby under Rooney. 
Will we go up next season? No.
Will we get relegated? I don’t believe so.
Things will look better in 5 weeks time.

I think he spoke well, its important to look at what he said.
- Rooney onboard
- Transfer plan for when the new owners arrive, I took its (my take) that this is going to happen very soon
- Only 1 debt (not sure how much)
- I also took it that the comment about small senior and talented youngsters was that we will not panic on getting in numbers but wait for the ownership to change
- After two cockups I don't blame them for for keeping stum over the takeover.
- Needing to build bridges - correct thing to do  
 
Next steps, complete takeover, sort out FFP and move forward, although I am far from convinced Pearce is the man to lead the Rams

Flanked by 20 new signings.
Mel stood at the back smoking a big phat Cuban cigar.
