I remember digging through dusty glass plate negatives in Winter's cellars decades ago and unearthing an early Rams image thought to be around 1885, an assortment of shirts they had on; it was printed in the Winter's Collection book. So sad that during the Second World War many of their negatives were cleaned and used for greenhouse glass, such was the need back then, those images lost forever. And if you look at the 1946 Cup Final shirts and shorts the players had to wear, tatty and having seen many seasons' wear – one size fits all – nothing like the official kit with colours they had on for the posed team photo later.

From the Athletic Article:
"When speaking with The Athletic in September 2020, Ian Burchnall, former manager of Swedish side Ostersunds, where Morrison had moved following an unhappy spell at Lazio, said he had no problems with the attacking midfielder when he worked with him in 2019.

“I had a good experience with him — I liked him,” Burchnall said. “He never missed a training session, never arrived late, never went AWOL. He was polite, he was grateful for everything, he was gracious. There was humbleness.

“I talked a lot to Ravel individually. We’d talk about life, his background, his brothers, his nan. He’s unbelievably misunderstood. It’s so flippant and easy to say he has thrown his talent away and wasted everything when, I tell you what, he hasn’t had it easy throughout his life.”

The same could be said for Morrison’s time at Sheffield United during the 2019-20 season. Though not a terrific timekeeper at first, manager Chris Wilder paired him with more established members of the team to ensure he got to training and meetings on time. Morrison would even stay over in the club hotel to ensure he did not have to make the drive from Manchester and risk lateness.

That he did not feature much at all was less to do with application and attitude and more a tactical decision. With Wilder opting to play a flat 3-5-2, Morrison looked like a square peg in a round hole as it was determined his best position was as a No 10 rather than being deployed deeper in midfield.

That assessment of his character has followed him to Derby where, even though he has only been with the group a short while, people have described him as a “lovely lad” and “a breath of fresh air”.
It's not like we can offer him a long contract anyway. So if it's not worked then in January we can replace him, but if it has worked then we'll both have benefitted.

For a player that is rated in Europe as the next Erling Braut Haaland, that Real Madrid had already enquired about, he's got to be a step above anything else we can hope for. He could well do a Mason Mount and make it to the England squad if he lights up the Championship as Abrahams did. I saw his Manchester City debut and he is a Wayne Rooney at the same age, physically strong and a proper striker. His development since he left us is immense.

On The Tilehurst End Podcast in April, football finance expert Kieran Maguire said: “The thing that Reading have got in their favour is that I don’t think there is any desire from the clubs in the EFL for their fellow clubs to end up with points deductions. We could end up with eight or nine clubs being on the end of points deductions, which means from a sporting integrity perspective, it would make a nonsense of 2021/22 as a season.
“I suspect there won’t be any profitability and sustainability points deductions for the forthcoming season. What the EFL will probably do is assess clubs over two years. Take the losses in 2021 and take the losses in 2022, halve them and use that as the basis for the three-year assessment. So things will be really challenging in 12 months’ time.”

After that last game end of season with the greatest of respect to him but I don’t want fozzy anywhere near our first 11 

Firstly, it was an 18-month contract he signed when coming here as a player, Derby paying him £42k and 32Red £48k. That is now over. 
 
At 90k as a manager, £4.7m, he would way above several other managers wages-wise in Britain, those in the PL. I'm sure discussions were had when he hung up his boots between the club, Rooney and sponsors and he is now on a more realistic £1m a year, in line with our managerial pay structure.
 
Here's the list:
 
20) Chris Wilder, Sheffield United
Wilder earns a reported £14,000 per week with a base salary of £675,000 per year.
19) Slaven Bilic, West Bromwich Albion

15) Sean Dyche, Burnley
Sportekz claim Dyche’s salary is £2.4million per annum, but the Lancashire Telegraph have previously reported it could be as high as £3.5million.
14) Steve Bruce, Newcastle
One of the league’s most experienced managers, Steve Bruce is said to be on a weekly wage of £57,000, which translates into an annual salary of £2.75million.

12) Scott Parker, Fulham

11) Nuno Espirito Santo, Wolves
The Portuguese boss is said to now be on an annual wage of £4million, with weekly earnings of £85,000.
10) Roy Hodgson, Crystal Palace

Salarysport is used by journalists and funded by newspapers to gather the information, it takes them around three months to collate each and every year, they have been producing these figures for six seasons now; it's not just so that people like you can do a ha ha ha and choose not to believe it. It also matches other websites doing similar. The only information it does not include is bonuses and signing-on fees. I'm guessing you query the weight on the back of your packet of biscuits and how quick your internet speed is. Have a great life.

But they did get ultimately gain an advantage, a huge one, no transfer ban meant they were able to bring in loan signings Shane Ferguson from Newcastle (made permanent), George Saville (two years later signed for Boro, £8m) and Jed Wallace from Wolves and Chris Taylor from Blackburn. Eight permanent signings, Romeo still there, Carlos Edwards many will remember, Steve Morrison (went on to score 40 goals for them), Tony Craig, all of whom played many games and helped them back into the Championship, so they did get a massive and unfair advantage, 12 players were added to their squad that generally was their side for that season. Forest, Bolton and Fulham could not do that, and Bolton were relegated the next season. Millwall also got to the Football League Trophy Final that year.

It's interesting that someone commented that Millwall were found guilt of FFP, in that same season that Forest, Fulham and Bolton were, but they deemed that Millwall were punished enough by relegation. The next season that advantage allowed them to make the play-offs and the season after they were promoted.
 
Surely, the legality, the unfairness, the inability to follow even their own rules is enough for some lawyer to make mincemeat out of them? If the EFL have signed off the accounts and was aware of this format, at worst a warning, just like they did with Watford, and Wolves who found a way to the Promise Land.

It does show what a difference a year makes. Many here thought any bid below £15m for Bird from Chelsea should be turned down. They thought Leeds would have to pay £25m for Knight and £20m for Sibley in the August Window. If that had happened, £60m for those three that fans rated 12 months ago, then the academy would be the best in Europe. The only way to make this happen is to have a manager that can make them worth that amount, play them, play them where they are best and play them often if the academy plan is to succeed. And don't keep making them captain would help too. Ebosele looks the best of the bunch for me, I'd have had him in at full-back half a season ago and played Byrne as a winger, especially considering Rooney and his chums make five changes every game, win, lose or draw.

Cairney - Joined Fulham 1/7/15 for £4m. We already had Thorne, Hendrick, Hughes and Bryson... and before the injuries to the latter 2.
Canos - Joined Brentford 31/01/17 for £2.6m. We already had Ince, Russell, Weimann, Blackman, Camara, Anya and Bennett at the club. Another winger wasn't a priority.
Judge - Joined Brentford permanently 1/7/14 and left 14/1/19. Ince, Russell, Weimann, Dawkins, Camara, Blackman, Anya, Bennett and Lawrence as winger options during that period. Again, not a priority.
