dcfcreece1601 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I suppose that if we are signing the trialists that have already been playing and training then it doesn't matter when they are done aslong as they are done before Saturday and eligible to play , where as newer players would ideally be here a while to build chemistry with other players gccrowdpleaser and r_wilcockson 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 To be eligible for Saturday's game signings must be completed by noon on Friday. Announcing players would possibly put some numbers on the gate. If we kept it secret it would definitely give us a competitive advantage when it comes to revealing the teamsheet. The proof of the pudding is always in the eating, and Derby have consistently failed to deliver on their timelines over the last year (eg with the takeover). I'd love us to get Jagielka over the line and, if there is now no limit on numbers, also Davis, but I'm not currently expecting anyone to come in before the weekend. r_wilcockson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer full scale lynching, tar and feathers, stocks and shame-walk (Cersei can stand in for Mel for that bit)... Swiftly followed by news of a few signings and a slightly embarrassed climb down and vague apologies to the board for not taking them at their word.

You've been working on the assumption our Wayne knows how many hours there are in a day - Or even what day of the week it is Actually with all seriousness I wonder if he had just lost track of the days? I genuinely lose track of what day it is if I have a week off and footballers have the whole summer off - Then pre-season starts but you don't necessarily play games on a Saturday - So where's your reference point? Plus no-one accuses players of being particularly well organised people - Watching the doccos on Netflix/Prime somewhat suggests they have a LOT of people around clubs who look after basic things for them like their schedule He may well have thought the whole of Wednesday was within 48 hours of when he was speaking Chris_Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Durden Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 This is totally consistent with the trend of the lack of communication from the club and a case lesson in how not to manage someones expectations. Either the flow of information is non existent or when information is shared there seems to be an eagerness to tell supporters information to appease them without any concentre substance behind it that's it's actually going to happen by those timescales, or just random statements without any forethought that people then will expect the statement to be actioned by that point. I remember working in the automotive sector and my boss used to ring me and ask me when the line would be up and running, one time I stated approximately ten minutes, after 11 minutes he rang again to say why isn't it running yet as you said ten minutes. Because the expectation was you've said a timescake now I'm going to hold you to it. No difference here. NottsRam77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
