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....

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.

Rosenior was interim for a reason. He was a short term option for Clowes because it was the obvious thing to do at that time. He has now brought his own man in and we must get behind him.

Been going with my dad to the matches for 30 years and don't ever recall him calling for the managers head.
Last Tuesday after the Lincoln match he said he thought Rosenior was out of his depth and, may be a good coach, just not a good manager.
Just for clarity, I am not David Clowes son either.

Only if we want to let them go, have you need listened to how Warne speaks to players, he will have no problem in convincing them that they are very much part of his plans.

So has it happened ? Or is it just gossip ?
I’ll back whoever is in the seat as long as we play proper football and DC a is no quick fix mug so his choices get my backing 100%.
My heart says LR needs or needed a decent run at it and am not sure he has been given that if he goes, but my head says let’s ride the roller coaster, it’s the Derby way. 

Not for me. His football was dreadful, absolutely dreadful and I said so many times before he took himself off to greener grass elsewhere (thank god). A Rowett mk2 would be insufferable. 

Post of the day - in this thread at least

I might get some pelters here but personally I think the potential appointment of Paul Warne is possibily the best option available to us at this stage of our " rebirth ".

LR clearly was influential in WR's team, some even suggested he was THE tactician in the set-up. Our away form was woeful last season, and continues to be so. There's absolutely no chance of promotion repeatedly making the same mistakes away from home.

If you've not listened the the BBC podcast Moment Of Truth, where he and Oxford's Karl Robinson were mic'ed up for the second half of last season, I suggest you do. He is a supreme man manager. Direct yes - very!  A complete sweary-Mary, but he can get players to run through brick walls for him. He knows what levers to pull for each of his players. I think we're all agreed we have one of the better squads in our division, but Paul Warne has done much more with lesser players and less than half our budget in this division. I listened to the podcast and did think he would be just the sort of motivator that would be ideal for us at this level. As much as I admire LR's loyalty , if you've ever seen the cameras in the dressing room, he's very vanilla and I'd even suggest uninspiring .

" But he plays hoofball doesn't he, Paul Warne? " I hear some cry. He plays with what he's got and the budget he's got.  I think he'd be licking his lips at the opportunity to work with our squad. One thing I'd be confident of, based on what I've heard of him when he was mic'ed ( is that even a word? ) up is that nothing will be left on the pitch. He demands it from every player.

I'll take that with our squad. If we're not good enough in the final analysis, I'll accept that. But it won't be for the lack of Paul Warne pushing them to their limits and accepting anything less than 100% from every player. Oh, and his track record in this division isn't too shabby, so he's not all talk.

I like everything David Clowes has done so far, measured, not knee-jerk, but I believe he's seen enough to be brave when change is needed.

We will certainly be in for a hell of a ride if we do appoint him.

DC, you've got huge gonads Sir. I applaud you.

He’s been removed as Manager…..so not a lot of difference ?

It’s his prerogative.
He has put his neck on the line buying Derby County .
Lets just wait and see what the thinking behind this. 

Any chance you can get the stats on away wins and goals scored away from home?
 

Clueless post.
Wait until we hear official confirmation and reasoning before jumping to such a childish conclusion.

For goodness sake let’s have some dignity for David Clowes .
We don’t know the situation yet 

If theres a two year transfer embargo, how then is the current squad strong enough to stay in the Championship next season, if the clubs promoted.
I think for that the club has to seek more than just free agents, but can't because its not allowed to pay for transfers.
The team didn't exist half way through the summer and now is expected to out perform, ipswich and Sheffield Wednesday?
Sheffield wednesday and Ipswich had established teams before they strengthened in the summer. They have transfer budgets.
They have both previously been in the Premier league and championship.
Warnes doing well in the Championship, given that he's managing Rotherham.
 
 

They're not going to keep splashing the cash when they're back in the Championship.

Kids eh B4, they just get in the way of football enjoyment.
I’d leave them at home with a panda pop and a bag of crisps me.
