I know this will trigger some people! But I was reading Simon Jordan's book and he talked about Palace's promotion to the Premier League and all the riches that awaited. He then dissected all the promotion bonuses he needed to pay, all the fees for players with add ons, then the agents on within an instant asking for an increase in wages, then the additional costs for being in a higher league. Before getting into buying new players who want more money because they know they are needed to take you to the next level.
Obviously it's a different scenario but as the link @oldben sent shows, all the clubs who compete with the parachute payment clubs are pretty much spending more than their turnover on players/players wages 
It's a pretty desperate picture for an owner and I really hope fans aren't going to start to turn on Clowes if/when he doesn't fancy throwing away many more millions of his own hard-earned cash.

Not sure spending close to a million on a keeper would be my priority 😊

Wednesday nights when I was younger.

He needs another loan at a higher level too. 

Attack attack.     attack attack attack
A nail a nail.        a nail a nail a nail

I rated Jack Taylor as probably the best / fairest referee in the country, this game and his decision totally blew that theory out of the water, and most likely cost us the chance of ever lifting the cup in my lifetime. Still hurts, 48 years later..

Attwell handsdown I still talk about this I was right behind it in the north stand and it still gets me mad 
How he refs in the premier is strange 

Jack Taylor 1976 FA Cup Semi final v Manure when Dave Nish chipped the ball over the defence and ran on to score when the game was 1-0 but disallowed for a mystery player who was supposedly interfering with play. 
Roger Milford in the play off final v Fester not giving a blatant foul on Martin Taylor for their equaliser and letting Steve Walsh and co kick our players all over the park . 

Atwell v Forest. Addison’s header. Awful decision.
Agree about Martin at Burnley too. Should’ve had a penalty but was booked for diving. Sent off later for 2 bookings. Pure rage as the ref walked past Derby fans at half time. Bobby Madley had a shocker.

Martin being sent off against Burnley. Still raging all these years later.

I seem to remember one involving Harry Kewell. 

My old man tells a story about the 3rd Div North promotion team. We'd won away and the opposition manager complained to Harry Storer that some of our lads had been 'clogging'. Storer asked for the names of our dirty players. Opposition manager asked if he was going to give them a bollocking. Storer replied "No, but I am bollocking the others".
So, in answer to OP, late 1950s probably.

Anyone think ebiowei could be worth a loan? Not seemed to go too well since leaving us, had tons of talent though. Love to see him again personally.

Likely that money helped us get Ebou as well... and we don't go up without him.

nobody is mentioning our marquee jan signing,who for one reason or another,failed to force himself into the match day squad,cbt.for me,i think i'd be looking to let go if we could recoup our money

i think this would be a no brainer, despite the amount of goals he has conceded he is a very good goalkeeper and at any age where he could be here for years. 
 
lets be honest if a player avaliable for 900k is "far too expensive" then its gonna be a difficult season, since when have we been so skint. this squad will need upgrading, you arent gonna do it for peanuts. we will be competing against teams that have 10m+ players

good job you don't run the club alarm.

Best example of this in my opinion was Geraint Williams. 
He was just a bit better than the opposing midfielders when we played bottom of the table 3rd division teams. 
He was just a bit better than the opposing midfielders when we played top of the table 3rd division teams. 
He was just a bit better than the opposing midfielders when we played 2nd division teams. 
And then he was just a bit better than the opposing midfielders when we made it to the top flight and played 1st division teams. 
He never appeared truly a class above the level he was playing at, yet he clearly was. 

It's completely understandable that DC, having saved the Club by spending a significant part of his wealth, will want to seek outside investment in order to continue our progress. Assuming next Saturday goes to plan, being a Championship club is going to make Derby County a far more attractive proposition than has been the case this last 2 years.

For a struggling Sheffield United

God no. Get it over with ASAP. I really don't get this desire for a mad, stressful, day against Carlisle. Id rather be turning up knowing we're up and having a bloody lovely time of it.

Does anyone else hope we just match their result on Sat..

Listened to the round up on sportsscene last night-really enjoyed it-

I'd be onboard for that
