I’d rate Clowes’ ownership abilities better if he accepted that it was a mistake/misjudgment/whatever and cut the losses, rather than just continue with the hope that things get better.
Performances are poor. They haven’t really been great during Warne’s whole tenure, but now the results are poor, there’s nothing to fall back on.
The longer we wait, the more chance we have of a third season in League 1. I don’t think there’s any chance of things turning around, everything is against him now.

I am grateful for him stepping in for his company to buy the club. I think the time has come for him to sell at least a controlling share to bring in new investment. In football terms he hasn’t made good decisions and is holding the club back. In long or even medium term, fans rarely make good owners, that has certainly been the case at Derby. 
The potential of the club is a great opportunity for investors to get a good return, particularly if we can get back to the Premier. I would hope that feelers are being put out for potential buyers / investors. I doubt it though, but if that was the case, we may as well hang on to our inept manager & his coaching team until a new owner gets shot if them.

Followed rapidly by relegation. His football has never been attractive. 
Rosenior had us playing football (on the grass stuff). I was never bored by it. Warnes non football keep giving the ball to the opposition bores and frustrates me. It is an offence to football. 
He is not building for the future, and with his record of relegations he never has done. 
Everyone to their own eh! 

Goodness if he's only just realised how poor and un-coordinated Warne's football is then we have to worry. Get a DOF in now.

At this point I just need to know we have an owner that can understand football. Warne is a busted flush, he’s gone, it’s just cruel prolonging it, if the owner can’t see it then we have another issue that is much much harder to fix. 

His first mistake was not taking any advice and making every decision himself. Should have hired a DOF

As far as I can see Clowes has made three shocking decisions since taking over. He turfed Rosenior out, he employed Warne and his team and Warne is still here.

This is the average player positions from last night:

That's clearly a standard back 4.  I'm not saying Wilson didn't help out defensively or anything, but we didn't seem to be doing the thing where Niambe tucks in as a 3rd centre half and Wilson drops back to wingback.  He was playing as winger who helped out his fullback at times.

He also put in a shift covering across to allow Bird the freedom he had tonight. It's not just about what he does on the ball, it's out of possession too. And he's doing this off the back of no pre-season at all.

I don’t believe our anonymous Mr Clowes is strong enough to replace our inept manager, his clearly inept coaching team and recruitment team. I would be happy to write off this season if we found investors, formed a proper board, got rid of Warne and his immediate team and start again. We are heading nowhere at the moment. I can take a loss but our football is disorganised and woeful.

I would just love to experience something similar to the Jim Smith era again.
Going into games against Man U and Arsenal expecting to get something from the game.
Seeing players like Eranio, Wanchope, Taribo West etc etc....being linked with the likes of Baggio, Costacurta, Suker etc etc.
It would be great to have a fairly long period of time where Derby County are in the headlines for their football, rather than for controversy.
Although I would settle for Derby to actually start selling Singha lager, finally and for Zan fish to return to the north stand!
 

Absolute rubbish, Ipswich, Sheff Wednesday and Derby are all regarded big clubs at division one level, all commanded plus 25K gates in this division Derby was 27K, and is around the same again this season, all teams have played at the top level for a good chunk of there history, as for Wrexham 10K fans, and spent most of there time out of the top division. So no way does Wrexham have the biggest pull, a ridiculous comment to make. 

For me, Derby is a craphole. It has become worse over time. The city centre is ugly apart from one small area the cathedral quarter and sadler gate. Outside of this is dreary, with either a despairing or aggressive atmosphere. The theatre is in an all but abandoned part of an indoor shopping centre. The assembly rooms stands empty on the edge of the most boring and featureless market place. There are hardly any decent restaurants, few independent shops and derbion is soulless. We've not opened up the river in a pleasant way and the river gardens are not safe. We blocked the view of St Mary's Church from some approaches with a ghastly hotel.  It is badly planned and increasingly barren.  All that is being built are apartments and university buildings that dont seem sustainable.  There is little to do there.  It looks like a town in recession. Its in a hideous spiral of decline. Sadly, I'd prefer to be in almost any other city. For me, its only saving graces are DCFC, its proximity to the  Derbyshire countryside and the people i love. So, in your view, why isn't it a craphole? 

I agree that sometimes the service he gets isn't great, but he has to take some responsibility for that as his positioning where they can find him is also appalling, as is his movement in front of goal.
 

In one fell swoop, you reveal yourself for what you really are, and acerbic and asinine little troll.
