    That 13m will cover everyone at the club from the first team down to the laundry ladies at moor farm and the army of match day hospitality staff. 
    i think it’s safe to say our expenditure on non playing and coaching staff will be considerably more than most in the EFL. 

    That's why Rotherham are bottom.

    Their match day staff is Madge from Pies....

    Considering how monumental it was, beating Forest in The FA Cup replay in 2009 isn’t spoken about anywhere near enough as it should be.

    Two down inside fourteen minutes. Win 3-2.

    First win at The City Ground in 37 years.

    Commons scoring the winner on his first return back.

    I’ll even add Savage’s scarf nonsense.

    I remember it as I was spending a particularly sordid evening in a dodgy hotel just outside brum.....my first experience of "working away"......😎

    What a brilliant interview.

    Anyone who has been negative must admit he's a class act here.

    Get the f*** in.

    He and his team have achieved everything we wanted for this season.

    That's simply a matter of record and can't ever be taken away from him.

    Congratulations to them all.

    Weird thing is, it’s a record nobody will really think about. They will continue to assume it’s us as we have the worst tally.

    They got off lightly here.

    In our infamous season we were well adrift in the awfulness stakes whereas this season there has been 3 or 4 shocking sides really.

    As one - of what felt a relatively small minority at times - who urged patience earlier in the season,  I'm obviously glad we were, and that the outcome justifies it.  I aleo don't subscribe to the 'with the squad we have it was the least we should expect/we should be walking this league' mentality either.

    However,  we have been slightly fortunate that other teams have stumbled so much and/,or that 3 good teams went up last year that would possibly have finished above us again this year. It doesn’t feel like a particularly strong League 1 - the Championship looks ridiculously strong though.

    All irrelevant, we go up and we deserve it. Warne deserves a crack at the Championship. 

    But it's inevitable if we continue the style of play when we are bad that he will come under pressure. This year the mantra is 'he's done it 3 times' and that calm experience looks key now. Even the way we accepted a (vital) point at Wycombe whereas Peterborough have taken a couple of hidings in amongst their wins.

    Next season all previous experience is relatively negative so it won't be long before the pressure is on. Bottom half there will be a lot of groans, near bottom 3 close to Xmas and I expect he'd be close to gone.

    I can't imagine many teams go up with such a divided fan base around the manager but almost everyone will agree he's done his job this year and so understand why he's going to be given the chance again. How long that patience last is going to variable!!

    So where do you stand on Paul Warne?

    Yep. 2008, over the self-declared enclaves of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Resulted in ethnic cleansing of Georgians from the two enclaves, establishment of russian naval bases in each enclave on the Black Sea. They're still technically part of Georgia, but the Georgians can't enter them or else.

    That's the badger!

    The irony of course being that Josef Stalin was Georgian I believe.

    I found this thread on page 2, which I guess is a fair indicator of how the war sits in the consciousness of people at the moment. But hang on folks! I get a sense that, with Russia resurgent thanks largely to its support from China and Iran in the provision of weapons, Putin "could" soon turn his attention to a former Soviet state with a population opposed to its government seeking to introduce a "Russian-style" agent-of-foreign influence law. The parallels with Ukraine 2014 are uncomfortably close, and the comments of the Kremlin spokesman in this article have a familiar ring to them. Look out for social media posts alleging oppression of Russian minorities in Georgia in due course. I hope I'm just being paranoid.

    Didn't they give Georgia a kicking a few years ago whilst we all tutted and watched on?
