Bloody agents.
I would want us to stay clear of any player whose agent advises them against joining us just because it will minimise their own fee, on the basis that should we bring in a player who has a great season, the agent will be immediately touting them for another move, leaving us in the mire again.
We want players that want to join Derby, not players whose agent wants them to join Derby.

I still think Fozzy could do a job for us.
Runs through walls for DCFC.
Any rumours on what his plans are?

We might not appear to have much left, like you say, but somebody still wants to spend a huge amount of money buying us.
He is no mug, and whilst he is a fan, he will also understand the undoubted potential of this club, something that sets us apart from most other clubs outside the top half of the Premier League.
Once season tickets go on sale, and matchday tickets go on general release for the first game of the season, everybody else will see what a BIG club DCFC still is.
I for one can't wait for the season to start now.
COYR ??

I like the idea of a fixed percentage on any future sale, that cannot be bought out / traded etc., but I think it should go further and should include a fixed percentage of any loan fees.
I would imagine that the amount of money recouped by the big clubs through loan fees must be significant, and in many cases, the players are loaned out soon after being bought, so the input in terms of development etc. from the big clubs is minimal.
It's money for old rope, and the whole system stinks.

I'd give up if I were you GoC. You must be getting fed up with correcting people.
What will you do when the club actually announce a squad and there's enough to field a team (albeit a young inexperienced team), and there's nobody left to correct?

Same for me

Still never understood why the 4th official doesn't oversee substitutions, without any interruption to the game. Board goes up (showing number of player coming off AND number of player coming on), player comes off at the half way line - as quickly or slowly as he likes, then 4th official allows new player on. Why does the game have to be stopped? What else does the 4th official actually do? Would stop so much unnecessary time wasting. 
 

As Quantuma installed CK as the preferred bidder, without apparently doing sufficient due diligence on his finances and the likelihood of any problems due to the source of his personal wealth, are they still entitled to full payment of all of their work since naming the preferred bidder?
To me it smacks of incompetence, so surely they shouldn't be able to claim for costs associated with such incompetence should they?

I don't understand why if Ashley or Appleby get the club, in the same timescales as Kirchner is able to, we wouldn't have as good a squad? Surely if Ashley did get us, he wouldn't be happy with staying in League One any longer then necessary, so surrly he would invest?

Be interesting to know what the average away following was at Pride Park last season, and how many times the away end sold out.
As others have suggested elsewhere, an away trip to Derby in League One, especially if we are near the top 6, will be a big pull for away fans of clubs we haven't played, or not played for a while.
Also need the fixture list to be kind, local teams travelling to us midweek, long distance teams on a Saturday at 3pm ?

I hate Leeds as much as every Derby fan (possibly even more so having left Derby for West Yorkshire in 1987 and having lived amongst Leeds supporters ever since), but if they put in a serious offer, Knight would be mad to turn it down. He's exactly the kind of player the Leeds fans would take to, and it would increase his profile massively. I'd be upset to lose a player like him, but it's happened so many times over the years, and will always happen, to every club.
Plus the transfer money could be put to good use. We desperately need lots of players through the door, and a decent fee should fund a few incoming players.
Time for a new chapter everybody, we've just got to embrace it.
