I saw this the other week but sort of dismissed it but only if NZ reached the final would be be missing all pre-season. The bigger concern is their games in January that could see him miss part of the season. The last of their group games is 28th July. Would we not give him time off, even if they g...

Derby as a club are in an awful mess at the moment , as referenced elsewhere on the board, and you would imagine any decent offers for their players will be hard for them to refuse

Mee, Collins, Philips, Long Thats four I'm not sure we need more than that tbh, especially considering how sparse we are elsewhere I take your point LC , but it may be that Collins perhaps will have to wait 12 months, maybe for Tarkowski to leave, before becoming a regular, in the same way as Tarko...

If we are signing two centre halves, then Tarks has to be going surely?

Gibson hasnt been replaced and it seems Dunne may now also be leaving

I do seem to recall some exaggerated responses on here to those who suggested we had tens of £millions in the bank before the takeover. Just for the sake of clarity, what are best estimates of how much the club did have in the bank pre , and post takeover ?

And where exactly has it bitten the club on the backside? 6th consecutive year in the premiership, core of squad easily good enough to achieve at least the minimum requirement of staying up, whilst other areas of the club, like the academy and U23's are strengthened to provide a flow of players in ...

The only thing that the recruitment team and SD were busy at over the last few windows was in kicking the tin can further down the road. Several on this board posted at the time that this policy would come back to bite us in the backside. No hindsight necessary. Was it the recruitment team and SD r...

We have an awful lot of work to do on that production line over the next year or two given the number of over 30s in the squad who are going to have to be replaced soon. The lack of sufficient activity over several windows will catch up with us if we're not careful

given that the club are actively pursuing matchday hospitality offerings this comes as no surprise - I was shocked that a single course meal and half-time tea and biscuits in the Brian Miller Lounge with specific seating in the Bob Lord (presumably next to the Directors box) - membership by invitat...

We're where we have been for the last 50 years or so, round about the 5th or 6th best side in Europe.

Maybe it's SD's frustration at this one getting away yet again that is causing the delay in him signing the new contract

Well given our owners/directors have a history of failing at clubs and being forced out due to lack of finances I would suggest that is true.

Do they ?

I think Armstrong was the PFA Championship player of the season

Must be quite a thing for the new owners to make their first signing for the club; this is where retaining Mr Garlick's expertise in such matters will be invaluable..

€3m is slightly under £50k a week and as Tony suggests would certainly not make him our highest paid player.

Who will dare to be labelled " thick and stupid " ?

No way

not sure why people fear Dyche leaving. Nothing whatsoever to indicate that whoever replaces him will do better or worse. At some point he is leaving. I suspect its the length of time he has been at the club, and the imprint his way of working has had on the club from top to bottom ,that makes folk...

I don't understand why Scott Parker would leave Fulham. They were relegated because they had a lack of quality, but a bit of rebuilding and some continuity will see them bounce back with just as much chance as Bournemouth, and they might even stay up next season...

Stoke have rich owners, so its not a major panic.

They'll still look to gain maximum value for players

Makes you wonder why they're trying so hard to cut their wage bill

Stoke are in a really good position, they have a couple of good players who are generating interest it's not far off what could describe as an auction I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being more than 3 interested clubs before the players end up leaving. Havent they just lost £80 odd million in...
