BramcoteRam84 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Too early to say. With the euros on not lots of teams doing business. We also have the takeover and the EFL charge to be concluded. The squad we have today is way too small, assuming we have minimal cash to spend have to sell to buy, and we get no points deduction I think top expectation should be 15th-21st and it will be a real struggle. The only way this will change is if (assuming they’re still here) the likes of Buchanan Knight Bird Sibley step up and get that consistency become top championship players (like Reading’s young talent did this season), Bielik plays half a season and Rooney all of a sudden demonstrates he does have a style of play and is a promising manager. If all of this happens and the stars align we might be 6th-10th. But this is all unknown at this point. As it stands you have to say it will be a season of struggle but it could change.

kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) As it stands,with Wayne as manager,no money for incoming players and the lack of a new owner,it's relegation for sure. If Wayne goes and we get someone in who can utilise,improve and mould our young players then I'd say we could survive. Given a large points deduction tho,then we are down.

Cisse Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 If we don't go bust and stay in Championship I'm happy. If we get a new owner besides that, one that knows what he/she is doing I'm ecstatic. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackworthRamIsGod Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 If the takeover doesnt materialise then relegation is pretty much nailed on and then we do a Bolton for a few years. If the takeover comes through and the Americans give Rooney the funds he desires, then I would expect to achieve a comfortable 15th placed finish.

LeedsCityRam Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Absolutely no expectations whatsoever at this stage & little cause for optimism; Threadbare squad although that can (& will) be supplemented by under-23 step ups & free transfers - some good ones out there Still no news on the punishment following the partial EFL appeal success & what effect that has on next season Still no news on the ownership of the club & whether that brings funds or more importantly better/any strategic direction Worst manager in the division with equally inexperienced coaches around him Fair to say there's a lot of work to be done in the next 6 weeks.

Jayram Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) As it stands, relegation 100%. Just over 7 weeks to the start of the new season and we have no idea where the club is on ownership, we have about 13 first team players under contract, can’t buy a single player, have a very poor coaching team (manager included) and are under threat of sanction by the EFL. It’s so dispiriting - even the 1983/84 debacle was better than this.

The poll is where people think we'd finish at as things currently stand. It isnt where do you think we'll finish after buying half a dozen players. People are being realistic and saying we'll go down with our current situation and most will reassess if we build a new team. Asanovic70 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramarena Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Pre-season starts in 3 weeks or so? Ownership unresolved, several players contracts unresolved, along with huge gaps in the squad. And that’s without talking into consideration the factors outside our control, or abilities of the management/coaching staff and ending one of the worst run of results in any division. It doesn’t look good. We could do ok and turn things around quickly, but at this moment in time it’s looking like another avoid relegation job.

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted June 17, 2021 Author Share Posted June 17, 2021 3 hours ago, JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta said: I'm interested to see where we think Derby will finish based on our current situation. I am aiming to re-run this poll just before our first match to see how opinions may have changed based on any transfer activity and pre-season action that may occur. For anyone saying it's too soon, re-read my comment right under the poll. I wanted to try and get a comparison in place once our transfer window is complete.
