Curtains

I think Bradley is a solid signing. 
I am no way giving up on him or Nelson 

Looking forward to Warne getting us up the League.  Additions to squad would help.  
Dave Mackay did once tell me I didn’t know what I was talking about lol 😂 in his Scottish dialect

Forget where he's coming from, he's a top player at this level and to get him permanently is a real coup. 

Good manager was Tim Ward. One of the best 

You’ve forgotten to mention the main man who was at the club when cloughie arrived “ King Kev”

We’ll half of the surprises for today, expect Fornah on a permanent tonight. It’s done and sealed 

And 3 from top!

You have a real downer on Paul Warne mate .
Where does this stem from .
The club was in a mess so some patience is needed IMO .
 

I hope they do. Honestly.

We're 3 games into a 46 game season - if we are in a similar situation say by the end of October then perhaps more fans will be sharing the same concerns as a few in here currently are.
Last Saturdays' win, although not a particularly exciting or controlled performance, nevertheless brought 3 points and a clean sheet  - surely less of "a mess" than the previous week? Granted no new players in but the window is still open.

Cheers . Just got mine .

1).  Yes absolutely, otherwise we've got some sort of cult on our hands, rather than a football club. I'm sure Clowes is a man than can handle some people disagreeing with the decisions he makes. 
2).  As soon as he took over in my opinion. You don't want the top decision maker in any club or business surrounded by an echo-chamber where ever thought they have is automatically beyond reproach. 
3).  I have my doubts about Warne, and the style of football his teams play. But I think we should all give him this season and see where we are then.
Clowes is the man that saved Derby County.  He's got that in the bag forever.  I'd expect that everyone on the forum is still grateful to him. However an owner of a football club being beyond criticism would surely be a unhealthy situation for any club to be in. I'm guessing, but I don't even think that is what Clowes would want. The fact that we might respectfully criticize a decision our owner makes, doesn't mean we are less grateful for what he has done, it just means that we still care about the direction our club is going in.  

Cheers . Just got mine .

Surely it's possible to be eternally grateful to Clowes for his actions in saving the club and at the same time have some questions or reservations about the way he runs that club? These are quite distinct. However well or badly Clowes runs the club, it won't affect my gratitude for him saving it. Equally, however grateful I am for him saving the club, it won't affect my assessment of the way he runs it. 
I don't see why it's somehow disrespectful to discuss the way the club is being run - choice of manager, budget, etc.
It's a football forum. We have to be able to discuss Clowes the chairman as well as Clowes the saviour.

I listened to that interview and he said appointing Warne was a no brainier. 
I love David Clowes and will back him all the way but I don’t have to agree with everything he says

Clowes has made questionable decisions but he saved the club .
I’m very  conficted at the moment .
I think we have to except the situation the club is in for now. 

Yep. The title was rushed and clumsily worded. I don’t blame him for anything, and certainly not yet. Wanted to have a discussion of the following:
1) Is it ever acceptable to respectfully criticise Clowes’ decision making?
2) If so, when does it become acceptable to respectfully criticise?
3) Are there any decisions that Clowes has made that give you some cause for concern in regard to our ability to get out of League One and push for the Premier League, which is presumably the ultimate goal?

This 

So why sign Nelson and Bradley? When there's Fozzy and Rooney for cover.
Why sign Wilson and Ward? When again Rooney or Bardell could cover.
Did we need to sign Vickers, or could Loach and an U21 cover?
It's how you spend your budget.
Why sign no pace? No CDM?

True, but he could only get what was available within a budget constrained by so many things. We can’t buy this league because we can’t afford it. I think we need to be a bit accepting about age and recruitment “failings” and start working out how best to use what we’ve got. We do have good players for this level, they need to start playing as a team.

Why have a go at the OP he’s just asking a question 

I like you flip flopping Curtains. You often make me smile one way or another. Keep the faith. Sack the Manager.
