another one confirmed gone...
Looked quality at times at the back end of last season. Only him and Festy over there that looked like great future prospects.another one confirmed gone...
Looks as if they are scraping the 3-2-1 system and going for a radical 3-1-1 ( with rush goalkeeper),another one confirmed gone...

Taking the cash now on all these youngsters rather than having the sell on clauses could cost them millions in a few year's time.
If only there was an opportunity during say... January, for example, where they could have sold under contract players for more substantial fees?No cash for either Ebsoele or Ebiowei apart from training compensation fees which are minimal (think about a month of Lawrence’s wages for both).
They won’t even go to tribunal for Ebiowei, as you have to have offered a contract first. As they weren’t able to offer any contracts, Palace have picked him up for bugger all.
Ebosele of course going abroad (cough, Watford) means they wouldn’t have been due a tribunal anyway. Just more of FIFA’s paltry compo fees….

Nope, they need a new keeper too.Its gonna be a tricky start to the season 5 contracted players - don;t know if one is a keeper but assuming one is - that means there options are currently 1-1-2, 1-2-1 or 2-1-1...
Really don't see why any of them would want to stay.5 contracted players, at least 4 of whom will want away...
New pitch ? Oh yes and there’re founder members of the football leagueReally don't see why any of them would want to stay.
Derby rarely got above 25k last season (they only did so on four occasions; two of those were part of a 3 matches for the price of 2 promotion, one was a six pointer against Barnsley and once on the last game of the season). The away fans also contributed to those attendances; away followings in League One next season will be significantly smaller.Simon Jordan is delusional, 28000 fans at Derby is his mantra
only way yer getting 28000 is if people are offered a season ticket as an alternative to a speed awareness course.
Or time off your life sentence if you go to games.
you’ll have a few going out of morbid curiosity then the crowds will drop quicker than CK can shout “you’re the man” to Nadal.
I get the impression he's wealthy but not loaded enough to bankroll the club, maybe a bit like Doughty in that regard (most of ND's wealth was in DH and though he was rich, he rightly felt the club needed to run itself more than it did, he was a good owner in that respect).I think the takeover will happen by Wednesday (Clowes isn't a pisstaker like the fake sheikh, Alonso and Kirchner), but it'll be far from the end of their problems.
Barely any players (and the ones that are there will want to leave) and a transfer embargo is going to make next season incredibly difficult for them, and the HMRC will surely have a large say over their future too (a repayment plan that will severely limit their spending power for the foreseeable future perhaps?).
Our average attendance during our three seasons down there was about 20k.I expect the 1st few games will be fairly full as the fans will just be happy they have a club - It won't last though what did we get down there? 14k ish?
Will prob get about the same after the novalty has worn off
