Leon Osman, Mason Mount, Harry Wilson, Fikayo Tomori - all examples of young players with limited first team experience who made a real difference 

No idea, I’ll ask him tonight

Cat 1 academy is entitled to 90k for every year he has been with the academy. Joined thr academy at 13.  So 7 or 8 years at 90k

Jesurun Rak-Sakyi from Palace seems most likely. Essentially pushed a bit down the pecking order by the arrival of Ebowei.
You'd expect Palace to have confidence in our coaches to play him and develop him.
Maybe Shoretire from United if Rooney list is still valid.
Or based on L1 last year the Candian kid from Wolves who played at Wednesday first half of season and then went to MK Dons for second half as he wasn't getting used how Wolves wanted at Wednesday. 
Pace and guile with all 3.

Wildsmith - we have a habit of destroying the confidence of our keepers

Roberts is mainly a CB who has played LB before.
I don't see any harm with attempting to bring a more attacking style full back into the squad. I'd expect the wages and fees being discussed to be well within our budget too.
Even if Forsyth signs a new deal, do we expect him to be available for every match next season? Then do we know we can find a suitable long-term replacement after that?
What if Roberts doesn't quite work out at left back in Rosenior's system? This is the sort of signing that makes sense to add more competition and depth in areas we are stretched.

Gives away too many free kicks and penalties, due to his poor technique. 
He puts his left leg in, then pulls his left leg out, in, out, in, out, shakes it all about.

Don’t think we are now, just working to a Business Plan….

Allsop looked ropey first time out. Asked to play a different way and behind backs he didn’t know. Ended up being as good as any we’ve had recently. 

Everyone is going on about Niasse. His record isn't that great.....

We were always going to be under embargo as that was a condition of life after Admin with the business plan. Thought it was for 2 years but it was such a long time ago I can't remember. As long as they are agreed and within the restrictions it will still feel like the shackles are off.

We operate under a business plan, as agreed with the EFL - isn't this the case for all clubs after administration or FFP sanctions (and qualify twice). They're just being nobbers about how they state what is the situation and was always going to be the situation after administration.
EFL cnuts being cnutish about it, but basically nothing new.
We can sign players and we pay fees (just not big ones)

From the outside, Rooney managed to tame him as there was a level of respect both ways.
He’s played the most games for one club in his career at Derby, without Rooney, would the signing have worked? I’m not so sure and for that reason I’m not exactly devastated he’s left. 
Will be an interesting one to follow though, I hope he kick on now and continue what is left of his career at a club on a longer contract. Be a shame if this was it for him.

What a monumental day in our club's history.
Been out celebrating having a few.
Looking forward to a total reset, and us getting back to the old days, where we live within our means. 
I hope we can grow again, organically. If we spend pro rata, we can claw our way back to a club who's size of support will reflect in us, eventually, performing at a level we deserve. 
Delighted with our new owner. No-nonsense, humble and not carried away.
You know who I'm most happy for?....
B4. A ducking legend. Enjoy your day mate. ???
 

Young players' form goes up and down, perhaps more so than senior players. Not worried about Thompson, he'll come good again but a rest won't do him any harm.

Sorry, but the players must cover this from their wages. You can’t expect the club to be able to control the players in situations like this. Once you cross that white line, the player is solely responsible for his actions.

There wouldn’t be a summer auction if he's a free agent

Plange looks to me to have all the attributes to be proper centre forward. He's not there yet, but I could see him being a £20m player in a couple of seasons. Quality no. 9s are really hard to find at this level. For that reason, I'd say he's our most irreplaceable player. I really hope he's still with us in August.
 

We've never been out of embargo...

Said it before and will say it again, Ashley won’t come knocking until we’re seconds away from death. Which for a man of his wealth is taking the pee a bit as he can surely afford to step in now before anymore damage is inflicted?  
Or bell Morris could do the honourable thing and gift the club enough funds to see out the season and then we can crack on with contracts etc. 

Really? I can't imagine how any manager could have done better in the circumstances.
I'm hugely impressed and he could potentially become a very good manager.

The short(ish) answer is twofold.
The losses sustained when Mel was spending too much were costs that he had budgeted for, so sustainable in the short term. But covid losses were not within his budget.
 
Also on a legal point, causation is decided by the proximate events , not the historic chain of events that preceded the event of administration.       


 

I wouldnt pay too much attention to the Geordie nation, self entitled bunch of ricks that they are, even worse than that lot up the road!
Ashley would be perfect for Derby, lots of experience and would put just enough into the club to ensure a steady climb away from the mess we're in. I dont want someone to come in chucking money about and end up with us like this again. For Ashley to make money he would have to be in it for the long haul, if he makes money it will mean we're in the Prem.

I wonder if this stance is a pre cursor to them agreeing to a 'softer' punishment for us.
Also his point on cash being the key to administration would stand us in very good stead when it comes to the administration appeal...if we make one. Acknowledgement that cash was the issue and the lack of cash is down to Covid.
