Carnero Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 10 minutes ago, RoyMac5 said: The suggestion is that Mel is making decisions after Chief Exec and EFL were negotiating. I think Nixon is just putting together his own guess based on the various tweets he's read. Mel has apparently said that we're trying to agree on the conditions with the EFL, presumably re the level of wages as if they have set it unreasonably low (for a Championship footballer) then we are in an effective transfer ban. Points deduction by stealth... r_wilcockson, The Scarlet Pimpernel, RandomAccessMemory and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Points deduction by stealth... Well it would have been a good opportunity last night to give assurances over some (cheap!) signings, rather than go on about how the Academy hasn't been used enough?

Leeds Ram Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 33 minutes ago, angieram said: Yes, this is what Punjabi Rams said and Wheeler said similar. Why is it assumed the fault is all Mel's? We all know the EFL is not being co-operative with us. Once again it's people interpreting what is said to suit their agenda. Because Mel overspent so much that we had to use numerous loopholes that we eventually fell foul of one that led us to this mess in the first place. atherstoneram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 If the players sign contracts ( without wages on them currently) I assume that would be save time with the administration of it whilst they should all actually be training and preparing for a game? - it’s a mess but we are where we are and the EFL want to continue to squeeze our gonads for as long as possible r_wilcockson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they all sign, what do the ones who have signed but who's form we keep and so not sign, get to do?! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at the striker situation last year, was CKR, then brought in Gregory, then he played Lawrence... all over giving any of our own a go. Yes, otherwise we probably would have gone down. r_wilcockson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We desperately need a couple of centre backs then the rest can be sorted out before the end of the month. Sparkle and r_wilcockson 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomAccessMemory Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Nixon’s article I think https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/15787710/Derby-eight-players-free-transfers-crisis-rooney-morrison/ Quote Veteran centre half Curtis Davies is set to sign, but will also join the coaching staff. The others include Ravel Morrison, Phil Jagielka, Richard Stearman, Sone Aluko, Tom Carroll, Ryan Allsop and Sam Baldock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I wouldn't sign Stearman or Baldock. Carroll marginal. Allsop only if Marshall is going. Rich84 and Ellafella 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how bad we are at the moment. Still, it could be the difference between relegation and survival Chester40 and Srg 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only players out of that lot I'd sign are Morrison, Jagielka and Davies. Possibly Carroll. The rest are useless. What's happened with Wisdom? I haven't seen anything about him anywhere. The guy has just disappeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
