Shall we just play nice and wait until a dozen games in before writing all of these newbies off ?? 

Go for it mate, I went to my first Rams game at a similar age. The only possible risk, is that he may end up a Utd fan.?

Definitely too young. My first game was when I was 4. You're too young to consent to a lifetime supporting Derby County at that age, a burden I will take with me to my deathbed. 

Only after the op

No, but they have been given squad numbers which I believe is an indication that they will be signing when restrictions are lifted
Jagielka - 6
Stearman - 16
Morrison - 29
Aluko - 24
Baldock - 18

Sad that only a few teams will be able to sign classy players this season.
Feel for Matt - he really needs a permanent club.

Yes, it was. But it's the EFL that would give the dispensation to recognise the extenuating circumstances.
My feeling is they won't be sympathetic! 

Lech Poznan shirt from 19/20 season. 

That's alright. Instead of being paid monthly, they're now going to be paid weekly 

Unfortunately the season only runs till May!

With his pace & power he would be our version of Adama Traore

Breakthrough player incoming.

In all of our gripes of the squad being wafer thin, some people out there will benefit from it...

"Steve, these accounts are wrong. Find the errors."
"but boss, how do we know they're wrong if we haven't found the errors yet?"
"Young padwan, they are Derby's accounts, and as we've spent a year and half crying about them, they must be wrong."

We'll be back 
 

Downfall? You ain’t seen nothin’ yet kid 

Sorry for such a downbeat title - it's the title of the video below.
It runs through the past decade and a bit. Well produced, and includes a few snippets about managers and players that I hadn't known.
It seemed worth sharing. And a topic that's on people's minds.
PS. Hopefully, we'll soon be seeing threads on "The Uplift of Derby County: How it turned around"

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.”

I know Steve Nicholson has to pump out article after article, most of it rehashes, and the guys at Radio Derby are in a similar boat, but wouldn't it be nice if these guys could really get some decent information against what is going on, either on or off the record! Ryan Conway tries but then I think the Athletic write 1000-word articles but there is nothing of any substance in them.
1) On what date do we intend to publish our accounts or wait until the 18th August?
2) Ask the club directly to comment on whether we are under or over the limit?
3) What exactly does the extra £30 Million that Pearce has found do to the events? 
4) In Lieu of Pearce or Morris giving any interviews or statements, How about employing an expert (Whose name isn't Keiran) to try and put a fine toothcomb over the club accounts from a straight line amortisation perspective to see if we are in or out of P&L.
5) Really dig deep on who Morris may be talking to at present and give us a 'breaking news' here.

The old days of journalism have gone. I remember 20 plus years ago - when Gerald Mortimer was the Derby County correspondence, Jim Smith left a game early to go and watch an 'unknown' striker in Europe somewhere. Now GM got into his contacts, and without hours, he had broken the news and had an exclusive on who it was. The club couldn't believe he found out so quickly.
Where has that type of journalism from the local press gone?

Went on the not fit for purpose line, not independent enough from clubs all acting in self interest, said P&S has been weaponised with too much focus on penalising rival clubs rather than addressing the issues (parachute payments and salaries)
Also said should be greater focus on owners who own multiple clubs and use that as a way to circumvent FFP (had to get that one in!!)

I was quite restrained:
”EFL board needs to be formally reviewed and replaced by officials with comprehensive understanding of business methodologies. Currently it is a hopelessly inadequate mess of egos and incompetence”

At the risk of instigating an unintentional DDoS attack, I thought some of you might be interested in this as a somewhat productive way of channelling dissatisfaction with the EFL
 

I'm not sure changing the pun category so soon is allowed!

Too young silly ?
