I’m sure 23rd June was the EFL deadline

Yeah, deadline today to send in to the EFL but I'm not sure they have to announce it to us today. I vaguely remember one year we announced it after the deadline date.

Just for confirmation as it’s pretty much all already been mentioned in other threads:
Rovers have offered deals to five out of contract players as part of the official retained list following the end of the 2019/20 season.
The club were unable to reach an agreement with winger Kieran Sadlier and he will leave the club at the end of his contract. Devante Cole, Alex Baptiste and Alex Kiwomya will also leave the club.
James Coppinger and Matty Blair have both been offered the opportunity to extend their stay at Rovers, as have Danny Amos and Louis Jones. Rovers can also confirm they have taken up an option on promising young midfielder AJ Greaves keeping him at the club until 2021.
Several members of the U23s squad are out of contract this summer and will not be offered new deals. These are Max Watters, Shane Blaney, Rieves Boocock, Myron Gibbons, and Rian McLean.
Everyone would like to wish all the players departing the club at this time the best of luck with their future careers.

Strange how it was released last week and now seems like new to DROS

Most of the DRFC staff are still furloughed though, meaning the work load for those who are still working is incredibly high.

Wonder if we have a few deals lined up with giving players a deadline of today to agree new contracts

Fair comment

Not that I'm aware of.

How many players will DM need to bring in as he’s shifted out a fair few (11) not counting loan returns or Stadlier.

It depends. The vote on accepting salary cap levels and restriction on squad sizes will not be made until the end of July, so I would expect little or no movement between now and then. If the squad size is restricted to 22 then it won't be many!

The bloke they brought in to identify potential incomings has be taken off furlough so that he snd DM can get down to looking at the squad for next season says Free Press

SM, the time lapse and total lack of clarity and urgency is the reason people get frustrated, lot's of people have laid out hundreds of pounds for next seasons season tickets, lots of them money they can ill afford, and without these people the game is nothing as the current situation should be showing the powers that be at the moment. Without them there is no big money transfers the Spivs can skim off, no players on high wages, and basically no clubs.
The EFL should be working on an A,B,C, plan of action and getting it out to the clubs, to give the clubs who are all in danger of their own making with overstretched finances it must be said the confidence to lay out future plans. But to show a complete lack of urgency and forward planning is just another pointer to the fact that the current top brass at the EFL are ineffectual, incompetent and need to be replaced and a new constitution drawn up that will benefit all the clubs and not just a influential few.

Who’s the top brass at the EFL (not) making decisions.?
Is your comment on lack of clarity or urgency aimed at the EFL or at DRFC.? If the latter, that would be unfair as the club won’t know hat it can do yet, with no season start date, transfer window nor plans to have fans in the ground or not..

Selby, I agree with IDM, if its a dig at the club then I think that's unfair. If its a dig at the EFL then there is some justification for what you say. But I have to repeat yet again that the EFL is a members organisation, the top brass cannot move forward without the agreement of its membership, i.e. the clubs themselves.
And for clarity, they are moving forward. In May the clubs received the initial proposals for the planned changes, since then a working party has been looking in more detail and revising the original proposals. This week (I think) has been the 2nd review of the law changes, and they will, after board approval, be sent to the clubs for further approval. The votes will then take place towards the end of July and everything should then be ratified by the 29th July.
That date will see the clubs themselves actually making changes and some kind of progress should ensue.
