The plan includes trying to reduce the wage bill at Pride Park from the second highest in the Championship last season at £15m. The current wage situation has been reduced by moving on 18 of last seasons highest earners and hope that the £11m bill will be under £10m by the end of the season.
Glick's view of the ambition of the club remains unaltered saying "I am certain where we expect to be but there is no timescale". He assures fans that they will get back into the Premiership but will not commit to when we are likely to be in a position to do so.
Fans are more concerned however with relegation this season rather than any plans to take their place in the Premiership at a time yet to be determined.
A young, hungry and exciting squad is the vision for Glick but fans are not certain that this can be achieved on the restrictive budget that is now seemingly all Nigel Clough can use.
No comment was made on rumours that Rob Hulse and Kris Commons could be others sacrificed in the search to reduce the wage bill next month.
The current debt of the club has been revealed at £15, most of which is the mortgage on Pride Park stadium itself.Glick however made no reference to the £50m investment in the club initially promised when the consortium took over the club. If this had been made available the club would now be out of debt and able to move forward, rather than watching the pennies in the foreseeable future...
