He was only obeying orders, eh?
Obviously he was useful to both the administration and the new ownership, but I'm not sure I'd completely excuse of dismiss his responsibilities under the Morris regime.
Have to trust the Clowes ownership if they're keeping him in post for now, and, obviously by doing so, they're not concerned by previous actions.
 

I suspect they want rid of him, but he probably has a massive Payout if we do get rid. He’s not very well thought of within the club. It’s most likely not seen as an essential use of money to get rid of him. 

well you quite obviously dont know our owners name
 
                                                  

I think that post the Administration notification and the materialisation of what MM had been up to, fans rightly or wrongly assumed that Stephen Pearce was complicit to MM’s misdemeanours. I think that people need to understand that SP was an employee and followed the directives of MM  - yes I accept that SP could and possibly maybe should have leaked what was going on, but for all we know he may have had to sign none disclosure contracts which were legally binding m. 
Anyway, the fact that Mr Clewes retains SP’s employment suggests that SP is very much valued by the owner and may not be the person that many assumed he was. 
We’ll probably never know the full details ,but if Mr Clewes values Stephen Pearce as a valuable member of the Clubs Management Team, then that’s good enough for me. ?? 

For the last 12+ months Stephen Pearce has had to endure a torrence of abuse. 
The one thing that sticks out for me is that he didn't just walk away from the mess MM made. He's stuck around to see the club get back on its feet, he's just got on with doing what needed to be done even though a big proportion of the support was singing his name to be removed from the club and he's now openly said he wants to stay and see the club be successful.
I think it's time we stop any abuse towards him and see him for what he actually is. He seems a good guy with our interests at heart and if we are to become a force again, he wants to be right behind us steering the ship.
MM must have been a nightmare to work with so for him to stay at the club during those years must say a lot about SP and what he thinks of DCFC.
Time we cut him some slack and probably appreciate what he's been through to get the club back to where it is now. 

I agree which is why knight would be perfect alongside him?

There are big differences, DC did not give him a big contract, he's not paid a penny for a player yet either.  I think to compare an honourable man to MM is poor and very unfair.  He made a temporary appointment, gave LR a short run and decided he's not the right man, it's hardly the same as offering long contracts to the likes of Pearson, Cocu et al is it?
Give the man a chance to put his own stamp on the club....  After all he shelled out £53M for a club worth £35m tops to save the club.  I think getting on his back this early is terrible and you should give yourself a long hard, Paddington like stare in the mirror.  ?

Mel was quite successful with online dating which is where he initially made his money, the big windfall was King (Candy Crush) though.
I doubt you will get much from DC TBH other than he feels that PW is the right man for the club at this moment in time.

FWIW I heard that Rosenior was unlikely to carry on before the Wycombe game, hence my comments when we went down. Was told the job was his before the Plymouth and Lincoln games, but players lost faith following those games. Situation needed resolving, so I’m glad it had been.
Warne is a coup imo, and will hopefully get us out this league.

Let’s hope that we have it before we have to endure another 34 pages of speculative guff.

I don't think all the details will come out if he decides to stay as coach tbh.

I don’t think so, but many made the comment on here. I think he got lucky.

Agree with this, disagree with this, matters little now. Liam has gone, Warne is coming in. It is what it is. Only thing we can control is whether we back our new man or not, and I will be. 
 
We’ve had Managers come in before who I’ve expected to do nothing and performed minor miracles. We’ve had other Managers come in who you would have thought were great appointments and ended up with their P45s sooner rather than later. There’s no telling how Warne will do, this will be a totally new situation for him.
We’ve also had players come into the club who’ve been reviled beforehand and we’ve supported them none the less. Once they’re through those doors and they’re our man, I couldn’t care less about any previous.

I was going to post this on the Derby forum, but couldn't be arsed.

I have been supporting Rotherham since 1958. I'm devastated if this is fact, and increasingly it's looking likely. Few of you have done your homework. You share the (previously correct) impression that we are a long-ball team with limited ability to play 'proper' football.

Many of you have voiced doubts that Warney could make best use of your 'talented' team. Fear not. Warney has proved himself adept at utilising the talents of his players. His ambitions have been limited by the resources available to him, not by an ideological devotion to a 'hit and hope' philosophy.

This year we have recruited players who add to the pool of talent we had last year. Except for Warney's first year in the job we have seen a progressive development in terms of player recruitment and positive achievements on, and off, the field.

As a man manager I doubt there are few better at this level. He has personalty and wit. I love the man and what he has done for my club.

Think yourselves lucky.

Feel free to copy and paste.

PS, with any luck he'll be sacked within the year and come back 'home'.
Thats sounds to me the sort of thing I'd love to hear from the Rotherham fans....
 

Very Cocu really. 

All the complaints saying DC is another mad Mel is ridiculous.
He made LR interim manager as he was clearly not sure if he was the right man, much better decision than the 3-5 year contracts MM was handing out to sack a manager a short time into contracts.  It was a astute business decision if you ask me, Warne appears to know his way out of this Division so a 1 or 2 Year contract could be a wise move if its him to be appointed.  
I'd suggest we should all calm the fook down and see who is appointed and how they perform, if this goes belly up DC has invested £53M, therefore he's the one with the most to lose.
Regarding the Ashley rumours, I've heard he is only interested in buying us once we are back in the Championship.
In DC I trust, our away form simply was not good enough and LR did not seem to have the answers, we also need to hit the Onion bag a bit more often at home too.  If LR stays that's great as he is without doubt a great coach, if he goes, I wish him all the best, but, I think he needs to cut his teeth with a smaller club.
 

If 3-5-2 is his favoured formation then, as we saw Saturday, we are well set up to play this way with the squad we've got.
GK: Wildsmith (Anang, Loach)
CBx3: Chester, Davies, Cashin (Rooney, Stearman, Forsyth)
WBx2: Mendez-Laing, Barkhuizen (Oduroh, Roberts)
CMx3: Knight, Bird, Hourihane (Smith, Thompson)
FWx2: McGoldrick, Collins (Sibley, Dobbin, Osula)
*Also players like Rooney (CB/DM), Knight (RWB, CM), Roberts (LCB, LWB, DM), NML(R/L/C) & Barkhuizen (R/L/C) call fill multiple roles within this shape.

Maybe on a par with Colin's pre-game 'you've got to... for 3 points' I thought this was top, top, motivation.
