    Derby

    Could be quite misleading. Says Derby owed money for transfers. Doesn't specifically say that that money is overdue. Hence why those clubs may not be on a 'bad boy' list.

    Jane Austen vs Terrorists

    Surely the big problem with this type of extremism is Pride and Prejudice. I think it's the lack of Sense and Sensibility that needs addressing.

    U18/U21 Development Thread

    Wonder if the club might do an introduction to the new academy intake on the website over the weekend as first team aren't playing.

    Curl in from a corner challenge

    It's more about his positioning than anything. Defence is only as good as it's weakest link and if you've got one player not keeping to the same message as everyone else it's a big problem. I'm sure everyone wants him to sort it out and be a success here but you'd have thought that having...

    Curl in from a corner challenge

    Given his positional sense I was more worried that when they told him to try and score from a corner he'd be stood on the penalty spot.

    Derby

    Derby tried to get away from 'meaningful competition' by overspending and covering it up with misleading accounts to give themselves an advantage over others. There's still 23 other teams in the division so I'd say that's sufficient for a meaningful competition. If we were in Derby's shoes we'd...

    To make sure he's there in time they told him the game kicked off at 3pm. Yesterday.

    You couldn’t make it up!!

    I take it all back. The struggles you must go through. Don't know how you survive.

    To be fair unless your waitress was Ursula I don't think she'd be in the know enough to take her word as proof, Doesn't mean she's wrong though...

    Bright and Robins

    Decision may have been made and it's just going through the legal process to ensure we are within our rights to terminate the contract and he can't claim unfair dismissal.

    You couldn’t make it up!!

    Fair enough. Just thought if it's not a job you're enjoying at least get paid more and get better conditions for doing it. Is a real shame there are certain people who seem to undervalue themselves, whereas others who do stuff that isn't particularly important seem to think what they do is...

    You couldn’t make it up!!

    Given the current position maybe now would be a good time to look elsewhere at what other people will offer you if your current employer is lagging behind. Drivers should have a pretty strong hand at the moment.

    Was it a good window?

    Sometimes a manager will see a prospect and really like them and end up promoting them into the first team before they're ready. Bapaga is a case in point. He was never near ready for the first team but MR put him in and around the squad anyway. I expect he will be a better player but we've not...

    Was it a good window?

    It is but I think we have to progress relatively quickly due to our smaller budget. At the moment we've got some players on less money than they would ordinarily be on because they signed while we were in a lower league, giving us more money to spend elsewhere. As time goes one those players...

    Was it a good window?

    I remember thinking that transfer tribunals always seemed to fuck us over. Went high value when we were buying and pitifully low when selling. I swear after Atherton one of the board said they were never going to go to a tribunal again because it was such a joke.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    There would be a point where excess deaths fell below covid deaths given the people it affected most. A lot of elderly and at risk people died in a short space of time due to covid who would most likely have passed away in the next few years anyway. Whereas those deaths ordinarily would be...

    Was it a good window?

    Pretty decent. Ignoring any financial implications and just looking at ability. FIRST XI Moore > Marosi Kane > Mason (and Dacosta) Maatsen ? McCallum JCS ? Osti (advantage is a LCB) Sheaf = Sheaf (but looks to have improved) Bright ? Kastaneer (should be an upgrade but when will we get to see...

    21/22 Summer transfer mega-thread

    Would they still be allowed to play U23's if not registered with the club? I assume they could have them down as a trialist but i think there's a maximum time limit for a player to be on trial.

    Todd Kane

    It's not about whether he wants to play, it's about how will he react if he's not? Take it on the chin, put his head down and give the manager stuff to think about or just be a bit of an arse?
