Nearly all clubs have loan players they want to keep when they come up. We ended up buying Mings and El Ghazi on permanent deals and would have signed Tammy Abraham, but he wanted to go elsewhere.

Does feel like you spend a load just to keep still. Bleeding fortune to improve your side. 

Aye, the main five Forest loan signings have made 185 appearnces (Ave 37) between them this season. They've certainly had their value for money out of them, but the bill is already in the post now if they want to keep them all or find suitable replacements.

That's the Derby takeover collapsed. They must be in big trouble now. 

I just wish it would finish, one way or the other.

This is becoming as interminable as the Rangers fiasco of 2012. And rest assured, Forest fans are no less obsessive about this than Hibs fans were about Hearts' admin/possible liquidation and Celtic fans were about the Rangers liquidation.

Derby fans genuinely believe the EFL is conspiring to put them out of business and fans of rival clubs genuinely believe the EFL is breaking every rule in the book to keep Derby going.

It's just the same story but substitute in the name of any rival clubs. Boring as absolute f**k.

Personally, I don't really like Derby or their fans, but I'd just like there to be some different chat in the pub now. It's Scottish referendum levels of entrenched positions.

I mean, imagine actually thinking anyone cares enough about Derby for there to be a conspiracy either way.

It's hard to know what's going on at Derby - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61792048

"BBC Sport has been told Kirchner took the decision due to the difficulty he has had transferring funds to the UK."

That sounds like an excuse for not having the money yet

"Despite providing proof and sufficiency of funding to the English Football League and passing the governing body's owners & directors' test, Texas-based Kirchner was not able to conclude a deal with administrators."

It's possible that due diligence revealed even bigger debts that were reflected in the original deal.

It's hard to see how, with only five players and little (if any) money to pay wages, Derby can start the new season.

Blackburn Rovers have appointed Jon Dahl Tomasson as their new manager. He did very well at Malmo and should be a good appointment.

Vincent Kompany is the new Burnley manager. They've released a lot of players so he's got a huge rebuilding job.

Expect as many Man City loan players as they're allowed to bring in.
