    Exactly and as Forest are going down they’d like us to join them.

    It makes no difference - play the games and get what points we can

    Which would definitely be crossing borders into the law of the land and put the EFL in a very dangerous legal position I suspect.

    And add in that finances across football (outside the elite) are in a parlous state .. I honestly doubt there are that many contracts around above 10k / week. Despite all the high profile jabber. Most earning above that level will be on legacy contracts. I genuinely think there is going to be a delete and re boot that is much needed. It’s a combo of the pandemic and FFP/P + S ….. but it will happen 
    i think the biggest reason Derby wouldn’t be interesting is the current uncertainty re ownership and points deductions.

    60 points needed but that requires  a goal scorer or serious improvement from midfield in terms of goals 
    the one bonus this season is that I think there are about 16 teams who are equally poor with little money to spend so they will all be taking points of each other probably - is that good or bad ? - so long as we collect points it’s ok

    Ordinarily you might be correct about getting a good forward but when good professionals like Davies and Jagielka are prepared to play for low money for a manager they seem to respect with lads trying their hardest is a very good advert - there will be decent players who can help us willing to come in because some players play for the team, the club, the supporters, the atmosphere at games and don’t need that much money in their bank accounts. One example might be someone like Andy Carroll who could give us the last 15 mins in a game to help win us a decent amount of points.

    Then get given a so called punishment and appeal it and get the proper representation at the hearings to follow through our case. We should use the full parameters of what we are allowed to do.  Especially if we believe we have acted within the law

    I think this is spot on. It's blackmail by any other name. No conclusion until you accept our way, until you accept our way the embargo continues because we haven't reached a conclusion, reaching a conclusion has no timescale...........Surely there comes a point where other fair minded Club Chairmen speak out.

    I wish that MM would actually ride this out and continue to fund the club, pay outstanding bills, challenge the EFL if they charge us again if we haven’t done anything wrong legally, maintain the low cost base but also fund extras needed 
    we wouldn’t be embargoed if that was the case, which would enable us to improve the squad sensibly 
    In turn we would again be a decent sellable club for hopefully a decent new owner because we currently have no idea who wants to buy us currently and what that would mean in the future.

    None of the decisions made by the EFL have made sense to supporters of other clubs - usually because the full details are never released. - basically you should only ever be penalised if the written rules are broken and the punishments are fully known beforehand and are non negotiable- penalising clubs over grey areas is simply not right it’s vindictive and open to Abuse by a hidden agenda.

    Possibly done us a few favours as well - those lads who went to ipswich are not doing much currently - we are playing as a team and the supporters are doing just that, supporting the team - we aren’t wasting any money currently either! - just need the manager to get his man United mate to lend us a proper goal scorer in January at no cost - as Kevin Keegan once said - I would just love that!
