rezner Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Says here we're getting an 8 million quid cash injection ,wonder if we get to spend it. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13247092.stm We could get a few good players for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burtonianram Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Did Glick know? I wonder when Glick and Co found out about this payment. Did their knowledge of this prompt the "we will invest Speech". Its much easier to promise investment when you have been told your getting an £8m bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NothernRam Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Now It's understood why board have agreed to finance some summer signings. I don't think we will spend a quarter of that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghRam Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Why does it matter why they've agreed to finance some moves in the summer, they've agreed to it, that's all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Hindge Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Now It's understood why board have agreed to finance some summer signings. I don't think we will spend a quarter of that though. Of course we won't spend it all on transfers I'm sure most of it will be spent on wages and signing on fee's but then again that's logical and isn't a moan at the board so can see were your coming from.

burtonianram Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I completely agree the most important thing is that we get the investment. I just wonder whether the board would be as willing to invest without this extra parachute payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NothernRam Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 It would be interesting to know what would they say if they did not have these 8,000,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornwallRam Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I doubt that we'll be the only ones getting this cash. With our poor sqaud, the teams coming up looking pretty good, the abysmal teams dropping out of the division and pretty much half(ish) the other teams in the division having parachute payments, if we don't spend then we are really going to struggle (just for a change).

blackNwhites Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 £2.5m for Graham or Sharp doesn't seem off target anymore. We'd be selling some and off loading others for free, minus the wages. We've got £8m, sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SillyBilly Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 That link has some interesting facts at the bottom. "This is Derby's 48th game of the season in all competitions. No Championship side has played fewer matches." "The Rams have scored five league goals in the final 10 minutes of matches - fewer than any other team in the division." Really is poor.

G STAR RAM Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 That link has some interesting facts at the bottom. "This is Derby's 48th game of the season in all competitions. No Championship side has played fewer matches." "The Rams have scored five league goals in the final 10 minutes of matches - fewer than any other team in the division." Really is poor. In a team full of young players or players returning from injury its hardly surprising that fitness levels appear to be lacking. Compare this to the promotion season when the team seemed to be so fit and scored lots of goals near the end of matches. Just goes to show it really is a game of 90 minutes.

SillyBilly Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I'd reckon its less to do with fitness and more to do with tactics or nouse from the players. From what I've heard of Clough's training, alot of it is off-ball, a stickler for fitness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I think we'll spend around 5 million on transfers, think wages will be low but it'll be good to see championship players coming in. David Norris still unsigned at Ipswich, surely would be a good signing along with McAuley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a look at the Championship players available on free transfers today and highlighted the players I think did well against us last season and both Norris and McCauley were on the list.
