Manwë Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 3 minutes ago, Owl in Manc said: they have 9 senior registered players who are still under contract! surely they cant ask them to sign a new contract? They can ask, but the contracted player doesn't have to sign. He already has a contract with terms and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box_Man Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Nailed on relegation fodder this season. Lets hope we swap places this time next year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this happened at our club many of our fans would call players traitors if they didn't sign it Wonder how the Derby fans are reacting to all this news and if they're as anti their own players as some of our fans seem to be? 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manwë Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 There's no way anyone would sign a contract with the figures missing, on anything, and if those figures were added later, then it wouldn't make the figures legal, unless re-signed by all parties. I'm not calling bullshit on the journalist as such, but probably more of a ******** up due to sheer incompetence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 It's a mess. Derby owner wants out and his fault ultimately but for sure EFL doing their bit to contribute by their incompetence. Reading Nixon's updates over the summer, they seem to be endlessly waiting for EFL to tell them how many and how much they can offer players and now come to a head given they don't have enough players to put out a team. I said in a thread on the last game vs Derby last season that the club who was relegated would probably be better of long term. We've had that reset, while Derby look totally fizzed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Derby be lucky to get 20 points this season. In someways quite funny but makes you wonder who might be next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sefton owl Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I didn’t think I’d come across a club that is more of a shambles than ours. Derby though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triple O Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 4 minutes ago, stocksyuto said: Nixon saying ALL players not just specific ones No. He's saying all players currently not contracted. This includes some whose contacts expired, free signings they want and some trialists. They are negotiating with EFL to be allowed to sign more than 4 of them and be able to pay them more than £4.5k. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box_Man Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 So they've got 9 players under contract in their main squad, everyone else has a blank contract to sign to be able to put a team out at the weekend, all orchestrated by Mel Morris and the EFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
