Inglorius Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I thought that most transfer offers were done via a fax machine or nowadays electronically via email? Do Derby have an incredibly old fax machine which makes the submitting of any bids extremely torturous hence Gary Rowetts comments or am I missing the point?

Parsnip Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 There's definitely no such things as fax machines anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inglorius Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 So does Derby employ an arthritic typist to submit transfer bids? An army of one fingered monkeys perhaps? Am struggling to comprehend what is incredibly difficult as Rowett states about the whole process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollycutts1982 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 DCFC's Barbara is currently on holiday and she is the only one who knows how to use the fax machine. She is back towards the back end of this week so expect movement then. ITK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram59 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Forget the fax machine, we're probably still using a telex! I remember using one of those, now that was slow and god help you if you made a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Siri, find me an Ince replacement" "Your best bet is Tom Lawrence, who is valued at £8,000,000 "Thank you Siri. Okay, we'll follow him on instagram and send him a snap of our training facilities and see if he's interested" I have it on good authority that this is how transfer business is conducted in 2017.

secretsquirrel Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Why does everyone assume it is the Derby end that are dragging their feet? There are 3 parties involved in getting the deals over the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'working incredibly hard' - So obviously they hand deliver everything - Rowett takes training and then sets off at a brisk jog south - transfer offer in hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let Mr Redknapp hear you saying that. He will be all over the place when his fax machine breaks down at 11.59 on transfer deadline day when he finally shows up to the office and tries to sign some 'triffic lads.
