Rammeister

Depends on which part of the club you mean. 
The academy 3 to 4 years
The first team 2 to 3 years
Behind the scenes - ticket office/admin/recruitment/groundstaff etc 1 to 2 years
IMO we’re on track in all

There was literally a fans forum last month. Bore off.

Huge fan of the Anglo Italian cup - I was 13-14, Gazza and Platt going to Serie A, James Richardson on Golazzo, the memories of Italia 90... What a time to be alive!

Great player, and businessman and was rightly rewarded for his charity work.
Dressed in the dark too.  😊  Then maybe we all did in those days.
 

This really has hit me in the Hunters.
RIP, you brilliant bloke.

I'm trying to imagine a 2023 version of Franny, as Paul Warne tells him to 'lose three stone' if he wants to score goals. 🙈

We were lucky to have him for the last 2 years of his wonderful career. I remember when he signed for us, he said that he didn't need the money as he was already rich through his business, he just wanted to play football in that great side in the 70's. 
Never mind looking 'at the smile on his face', he put a great big smile on my face and that of 1000's of other Rams fans, RIP Franny.

So sad to hear that death of the man who brought me to Derby County. 
Rest  well Franny thanks for the memories 

I lost my wife to cancer 4 years ago.
There are no words for the pain. No map out of the dark. You just keep putting one foot in front of the other, and by tiny degrees it eases. The gaps between episodes of despair get fractionally wider.
In my experience, masses of support from all around are 10% of the battle. 90% is having a reason to carry on. I had two teenagers. I suspect football may be vital for Josh in that regard.
Sending him love.
 

My wife passed away at the end of January from a very rare blood cancer. I cant describe the pain and heartache i feel every single day, and the massive void she has left in our lives will never be filled. I can understand exactly how you must be feeling at this moment, i too have been there,  so  make sure you tap into the help and support available to you from friends, family and those at DCFC. God bless you Josh and keep strong.

After watching Paul Warnes Cambridge interview regarding the Josh Vicars situation, I can't help but feel we have it wrong about what we value in a manager. 
I understand football is about results and success, but sometimes, seeing a managers humility and connection as a humanbeing with the players, especially at times of trauma, beats the lot for me.
I've been critical of Warne, as have a lot of us, but I would love nothing more than for Warne to get us promoted. I know his "let's be mates" mentality can be a bit cringe, and his 352 does your head in, but you can tell he really cares about those around him, and I would much rather be in the trenches with a man like Warne than someone coming here for a quick cheque. 
I'm crossing everything that things go right on the pitch, but regardless of that, I just wanna commend him for the person he is.
 
Salute to you Mr Warne.

Ok.

Ok.

Ok.

Ok.

Ok.

We didn't get to where we are today by plucking 40yard screamers out of thin air!  👀
 

You can play Embleton in a 10 ahead of Bird and Fornah. Something weird could happen, like passing to each other. 

It's quite an unpleasant forum on here sometimes isn't it.
The blokes doing his job,has some time off for unknown reasons and gets personally slagged off by fellow derby supporters whilst he does so.
 
 
 
 

Whilst we bash away, mostly anonymously behind the keyboard, just go take a second to see what Josh Vickers is going through right now, Ed, just like us all is a real person. 
Regardless of how you feel about him as a person or his commentary style there is absolutely no need for personal stuff towards a fellow Derby fan.
Seriously, come on, have a word with yourselves.
 

Graham Richards had a vocabulary to die for and a great turn of phrase.
Ed Dawes and RD do an excellent job for local radio and don’t deserve the vile abuse they get.
Turn the radio off if you have a problem.

That is absolutely heartbreaking news. It puts everything including football into true perspective doesn’t it? I’m sure the club and staff will be supporting him all the way as should we. Maybe we can donate to a cancer charity of Josh’s choice or something. Thinking of him and his family. 

Very sad news for Josh and his family, the support from his colleagues will be needed at a difficult time like this, sometimes there’s more to life than football. 😔 
Perhaps something could be arranged by fans to show support at the home game? Applause at the 31st min or something?
 

Please, can we have one day, tomorrow, where not one post is made about Paul f****** Warne. If you think him great or s****, let’s just have one bloody day on this forum where we can discuss something different. Just one day. It’s doing my head in coming on here and every thread is about him. Thank you.

I think that is extremely unlikely.
Warne wasn't brought in to produce champagne football,Clowes knew exactly what style of play PW would be bringing here.
The gaffer wanted a rebuild of the club from top to bottom.We were absolutely on our arses before the buy out,the academy was decimated,moor farm was physically deteriorating and staff morale was on the floor.
Clowes no doubt believed that warne was the man to remedy the majority of those issues and his ethos to club life appears to align with his.
So,I think,at least whilst the club is being gradually 'repaired' that he will stick with pw,even if that means mid to upper obscurity in this shitty league for this season at least.
I'm no big fan of pw football( or of the crap played under roseniors brief tenure) I'm a Mac 1&2 fan through and through with all the lovely gameplay and flair that it brings,but I do recognise what the owner is trying to achieve and all of this hand wringing and whining on the forums that we aren't being entertained isn't going to change clowes medium and long term plans.
So we need to get used to this reality i.m.o,get behind the manager and team and suck it up,this is going to be a long if slightly tedious job....but better than the alternative we faced a short time ago.
