MaVilla Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Apologies if there is a Derby thread already...i cant seem to find it if there is! Amazing whats going on with them, they have 9 senior players on the books, 2 of those are GKs, and Rooney has just gone and injured one of his outfield players himself, they will be out for 3 months (Jason Knight). I cant see how they wont be relegation candidates......what a mess, amazing to think they were a win away from the Prem only 2 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wict01 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 From the outside, it looks like Mel Morris has run an absolute shambles. They are a cert to go down in my opinion, hoping to go to one of their games if I can as my Mrs' brother is a Derby fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blunther Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 What's happened to them? Dodgy owner or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I don't think they'll do terribly. Might be fighting relegation but they've got some talent in. Tom Lawrence is a good player and they have Aluko and Morrison on trial soon to sign, they'll end up with 20 or so players in the squad by the time the season rolls round you'd imagine?

They're under a transfer embargo due to submitting accounts in the wrong year I believe. Some wording in that meant that they could only sign free agents if they had fewer than 23 players "of a professional standing" (or something alike), which was brought in to question as they fielded a load of youngsters during a third round cup game last season On appeal or something, they've been cleared to sign free agents but this only happened a few days ago. Squad is decimated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooney has enough contacts to get a couple of loans but not sure they can. Be perfect for a player like Ramsey or even Davis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 What he's done wrong by the looks of it is gone somewhere like popworld and got off his tits drunk and then the "mates" that he's with haven't dragged him away and let him carry on drinking Why would he do that?
