There are 2 ways to prevent it:

1. Becoming one of the giants of the English game and so making us as attractive a proposition as Liverpool, Man Utd etc.

2. Having only dreck in our academy, so nobody else wants them.

this is true and relegation will only make the academy weaker

Wrong decision for who? Whittaker stayed and signed a pro and Derby shipped him out a year into a 3year contract. Nobody seems to be questioning Derbys loyalty but have been slating a 16year old for having no loyalty ?‍♀️

Did he or was Derby the best offer he had at the time. Perhaps he had 20 offers but liked it here as it suited him at the time.  That would be personal choice rather than loyalty. He has had a fair few first team games and then left for a team higher in the table to play for a manager he knows well so it's worked out well for him. If he hadn't signed a pro contract here, would he have the games elsewhere to secure that move.  Derby couldn't ship him out, he had a contract and chose to move.

That is bad news.  Personally think not selling Lawrence... etc in Jan was a hugely bad decision, gambled on staying up and the money brought in plus big savings on salary would have perhaps meant this type of business could have been avoided.

It's daft, but with the ever-increasingly likelihood that we go bust then a sell-on clause years from now is worthless. I'm assuming this just helps with costs and helps us kick the can down the road a little bit longer.

Do we know for sure that bids were actually made for Lawrence?

Desperate times require desperate measures........and we are in the most desperate situation we have ever been.

Only one I heard about for sure was 250k from Bournemouth and the possibility of a free to West Brom freeing up his wage.  None was ever offering 2-3  million for a player with 5 months on a contract .  That was all hyperventilating b******s from those spending 1.5- 2 million more on wages than they bring in per month or alternatively owe in excess of 17 million in tax demanding we ASSet strIPPP CAUSE we AS cHeated.
