  1. That’s not his squad number that’s his price tag…in pence ?
  2. The stupid thing is had Mel not lost patience and accepted the -9 points, they’d have stayed up, they’d have probably kept Rooney, Ebosele, Ebiowei, Plange, and all the other young diamonds they had, plus a few others. But his reaction to the impending likelihood of -9 was to think they were likely to go down, so he pressed the panic button and went the whole hog into admin for another -12. But Morris knew he’d already bought himself some security with the stadium being separated. But he complicated the sale of the club as a result, and made it less attractive as a Lg1 club rather than a Champ club fighting to stay up. Rooney actually did a great job in giving optimism that even with -21 he’d give it a go. Morris has gotten out of this lightly, how Derby fans haven’t turned up at his residence with pitchforks baying for his blood I don’t know. So now the new owner will start in Lg1, under a business plan, details we don’t know of yet and a squad of players that are likely to be chased as “of professional standing” and taking up many of the 23 man squad places. We are already hearing talks of Conor Hourihane signing…on what wages, over what term (1yr max?)…hopefully that is just media talk. Looking forward to seeing the actual squad / recruitment position clarified.
  3. Been saying it all tourny, too much dribble, not enough pass and move.
  4. Got to hand it to Israel, they are playing like they did in the final 20 against us in the group game. We are getting players caught pressing on their own. Might hand to gamble with taking one of the CBs off, or move Doyle to LB and get an extra man into midfield. Doyle been ponderous on the ball though, missing passes inside to Chucky 3 or 4 times. Hopefully yellow on Kompelcesky might give Alex that half a yard he needs. Isreal deservedly ahead.
  5. Sky just said under a business plan with restrictions on fees, wages, etc for new signings.
  6. Looking forward to hearing all the next levels of detail, e.g. any embargo’s, restrictions, HMRC stuff etc.
  7. Nice retro kit…memories of Big Cyrille
  8. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/one-loan-many-how-bristol-4461439 For info, Klose is naturally right sided.
  9. Same person as the previous two seasons - Dave Barton. It’s on the OS: https://www.bcfc.co.uk/fanzone/club-information/staff-directory/
  10. I don’t have insta, is there a pic or link?
  11. I’m assuming just a necessity for numbers on the training pitch.
  12. Yep, there were a few more hints on system in that video.
  13. It’s in a piece written by Rich Forrester and has a lot of speculative 2+2 stuff. I wouldn’t be taking too much stock in it until we see how the rest of pre-season goes and the window end approaches.
  14. It might be a crap idea, it might be the next evolution of academy development. The counter to your argument argument is that although one scholar might miss out (decide not to sign), the other 10 teammates develop quicker. We need to open our minds to new approaches. Kaizen! the relevance it’s not just one club doing it.
  15. Was a lot of rumours going around when Rooney signed as player-coach (initially) for Derby 1) that his wages were paid by 32Red and 2) a portion of it was excluded from FFP. Both were incorrect…although with Mel,Morris, god on knows what ended up in the accounts!
  16. For those of you in Hengrove, get down Rigs and Twigs or up Broadwalk to Tandy!
  17. Under current FFP rules you are not correct. Academy costs are excluded, but anyone with a professional playing contract (like Rene) isn’t excluded.
  18. They did a Guernsey Podcast together earlier this season. They talked about practicing together, and that they were close, but I had no idea they were half-siblings. Ben Acey was on another episode of that Pod recently, he talks very well. https://podfollow.com/gpsportpod/view
