Surely by this point it's just a case of admitting what you said was guesswork and that you actually have no idea what budgets either Warne or his competitors were operating under!

I think these figures help put our own restriction into perspective. The rumoured £12m wage budget isn't overly restrictive LeedsCityRam and ram59 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Always makes me smile to see other clubs struggling as they can’t sell their players for inflated fees - it’s because we haven’t been allowed to waste money doing just that - a bit of an irony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not waiting for him to fail, it's not about him it's about Derby County, I want success for the Club we all support. yes , all of the top 6 or 7 have had a wobble , perhaps the timing of ours makes some of our fans go into grim reaper mode but we are slowly coming out of ours and i for one am still very hopeful we will make the play offs MarsdenRam, i-Ram and RoyMac5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were limited in January as I think the derby telegraph stayed at the time we were near the top of budget and kept it calm to be under the threshold so in the summer we had some negotiating in our favour to relax the embargo. As for getting players what did you expect us to do for pity sake. If a players agent said they wanted a fee we couldn’t sign them we also couldn’t pay any transfer fees or couldn’t pay a loan fee to a club. If teams want a loan fee why should they bend over and just let us have there player if another team was willing to pay a fee and January is bad enough as it is. Unfortunately osula got called back and we had no way to replace him and I don’t think if not under the embargo we would have signed Springett or the other lad. Until we are out of the restrictions apart from the summer when frees come up at end of contract we are swimming against the tide for players Kathcairns and Carnero 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plange off the top of my head could have done that? seems we were let down on a promise, but can’t have literally one option. That’s poor planning. I agree is not loads about for no money or fee, but would expect better than springett. white has been ok I guess. totally get all the restrictions, we’re all aware of them.

Ram-Alf Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Paul Warne speaking about players for next season. He told Derbyshire Live: concerning players who are out of contract, "For many obvious reasons, I leave that to the end. And in fairness, it also gives me the opportunity to change my mind. "So I leave that to the end and we'll get to that when we need to get to it. "Obviously I've got this in the back of my mind all the time. I'm not a complete idiot. And it's difficult because you don't know what plate you are spinning. "Are you spinning a Championship plate or the League One plate? If we're in League One, do I need this? Do I need that? What do I need? What can I afford? "It changes all the time, but you have a rough idea of players that you want relevant to what league you're in. "If we are fortunate enough to go up, we're not going to suddenly turn into a club signing international players, which has happened here before. It will be a pretty firm base that we need to build on and making small steps to get the club back to where it wants to be, but it's got to be healthy steps. It can't be crazy.

Doesn't have the old school bite you get from the Warnocks or general spiviness of the Lampard/Redknapp clan His quote that I posted in Bold is what some posters need to take on board, Out of the 6 that are on 1 year contracts I'm pretty sure he'll ask McGoldrick for another year, The rest thanks but I'm looking elsewhere. Whether Championship or League1 it's going to be a steady build, No splurge on talent but baby steps towards that 5 year plan to establish us as a Championship club, When the embargo is finally put to bed...I think PW would think and think again on where the money is going on players rather than wave it goodbye on those that just want a payday 🤷♀️ Gee SCREAMER !!, Caerphilly Ram, Ramarena and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My whole point is we should’ve signed a striker!!! after that, was just thinking that anyone is better than than the no one we got. Be it plange or Stretton. Just two obvious strikers that most of us have seen play. personally think mcgoldrick as 9, sibley as a 10 is the way to go. But dobbin has pace to offer, Collins actually played a bit better last week too. warne seems very rigid though in is pretty much solely Collins or mcgoldrick as his two options. We struggle to change things much due to lack of options.
