The whole squad wants to stay.

I don't think we'll ever agree on whether players will leave or not, as everyone's views co-incide with their own thought processes, mine included! 

I think a fair few will stay, because that's what I'd do.

But I also think a fair few will go, because that's what other people would do.

Have I any idea who's who? Probably not!

That cleared that up then ?

Curtis.

To be honest I'd like to think out of everyone Rooney would stay even if more lucrative offers came which might have done earlier, he's already loaded whereas Curtis could possibly be tempted with a player/coaching role elsewhere unless the opportunity arises at derby and hopefully it does

[DCFC1388]

I think there will be a lot of gentleman agreements with Rooney where he says, sign up, give us a year to see if we can bounce straight back, if we dont and a good enough offer comes in then you have his blessing to move on

Meaningless platitudes. Of course none of the squad will say they want to leave  - who in their right minds would openly admit that - until their agents have sourced them a more attractive gig somewhere else - then they will be unable to turn down the once in a lifetime offer of playing for Barnsley. 

Twice.

I think our u23’s will be stronger again next season as some will be returning to them.  Rooney says we need 40 players, they aren’t for the reserves I doubt.

If it was purely for financial reasons, I could see Lawrence, Bielik, Buchanan, Byrne and Knight getting more money if they left. The average wage for a lower end Championship club is about the same as a top end League One club, and I can't see any mid-table or above Championship clubs wanting any of our players, (apart from the above mentioned). I don't think Davies, Stearman, Morrison, Bird, Forsyth or Roos would gain financially from leaving. (if Roos is on £16k, he won't be offered that again by anyone).

 

Most of the top League One teams have about 3/4 players on about £8k-£11k

Kirchner is hoping to be paying the bills from 7th May. Although we can't offer contracts officially I imagine Rooney can show those he wants to stay the type of contract he can offer. 

I'm sure Chris Kirchner stated he was going to ask the EFL if Derby could get contracts offered before the official takeover.

Can't see the EFL agreeing to that. They already look to many football fans to be a totally inept organisation devoid of leadership and direction so they would appear even worse if they agreed to us offering contracts only to see a potential takeover fail (though I don't think that will happen).

Our second choice keeper on that wage is everything what's wrong with our handling of contracts, absolutely crazy

The EFL rules allow Derby to remain in administration until next March. They can't have that rule whilst also saying we aren't allowed to sign anyone.

Logic says there has to be certain requirements met to allow us to extend current contracts or be able to sign replacements

[Naughty James]

Once "administration" is sorted "we'll" see a fair chunk of our "out of contract" players sign new deals with the club.

 

Then it's frozen Mars Bars on me.

Yes, that list's from 2 seasons ago. He's since retired. He scored 1 goal for Sunderland in 51 games over 2 spells

Just now Rooney is motivated by getting his managerial career off the ground,  not by money (I would think). He has the network and pulling power to assemble a squad that should be a major force in div 1. A return to the championship should be an easier gig than say getting a relegated Everton back to the top flight. And all the while with us he’s learning about management 

what’s more, Stretford is in cahoots with CK so I’d think Rooney jumping ship (if CK takes over) is unthinkable. People have been talking about MM ‘pulling the strings’ in the PB process. Surprising no one has been suggesting it’s Rooney and Stretford
