Simple answer is 💵💶💷💴💰we can’t afford to pay him off. 
I think that’s the top and bottom of it anyway

Why do people like you insist on making pronouncements like this? You haven’t the faintest idea what we can afford.

Of course we dont. So if the solution is that simple then why hasn't Clowes actioned this yet?

Well I’m sure he believes that you have to give managers time, which is true. He will also be mindful of the cost, which we appreciate. I suppose as well that he has developed a personal relationship with Warne and to be fair although he is proving a bad fit for us, he’s a good guy and an intelligent one. So I can appreciate why he won’t be a hair trigger, knee jerk responder. I’m not saying the solution is simple it’s a tough one. But as supporters we have the luxury of making our minds up without having the responsibility

Motivational speaker ... hm

 

I started to read that then thought Oh no not more of his rubbish and self promotion. Sod off Paul and takes your mugs and your wonderwall with you

That's fair comment.

Weirdly as a League 1 side we seem to have recruited a League 1 manager.

Pep was obviously tied up that day. 

Ipswich didn’t have a league 1 manager last season. Neither did Plymouth. We don’t have to put up with crap at Derby County

Let’s ask a different question. Let’s assume we stick with Warne and we finish 10th after a season of boring, mindless football. Will you renew your season ticket?

Would be happy with any of Eustace, McClaren, Wilder, Rowett, Warnock. All very different, but doesn't matter as Warne isn't going anywhere anytime soon. 

Close the thread, Warne isn’t going anywhere soon apparently

Never go back once never mind 3 times

Eustace

Looks v much like sibbers is playing on the left side of a front 3.

Why does it? He played on the right against Notts and scored 2 goals. Barks has been playing on the left. I think Sibley will play on the right

I don’t know where all this certainty that it will be off is coming from. The only game that’s off so far is Ross County v St Mirren. Far worse weather up there

And Rotherham now

I agree that we could have better strikers, and we are are weaker up top than last season. But how many teams in league one have a stronger forward line than us? Not many, and I'd argue no more than one or two. And there are only 4 teams who have scored more than us, and two of those have a game in hand. I'd argue 22 teams in this league would happily swap for our front line.

I think a lot of the arguments that we have poor forwards are with our poor conversion rate. Collins is at 26%, one of the lowest in the top 10 scorers. I'd be more worried if we weren't creating chances.

Yes, that's me being positive. No, I'm not drunk.

 

I think John Jules will make a massive difference if and when he gets fit. Also I imagine there may be some ins and outs in January

Our squad is more than good enough to finish near the top of this division EXCEPT for the strikers. And therein lies the problem  

I think either Dean Sturridge or Tommy Johnson. They were quick over a short to medium distance which is what counts in football. But I wonder if they would have beaten Mark Wright over 100 metres 

Should we have(or could we have had) two red cards last night? One for Collins blatantly smacking that guy on the top of his head and the other for Sinley's wild, reckless, late and totally unnecessary challenge where he smashed that kid into the sidings right under us?  

Luckily he is one of those who’s big contract runs out at the end of this season

I'm imagining that guy as Chris Kirchner

I am amazed that people are giving so much time and space to the Warne in/out saga when thousands of people are being killed in the Israel/Gazza strip conflict.There are far more important needs to be addressed.

What on a Derby County football thread? 

Lets wait for the next crap result and performance, probably tonight, to sharpen up the debate a bit

There will be a good away following including myself. It won’t go down well if we lose which I think is 50/50

He did. One day very soon he will get the full Phil Brown treatment

We’ve got 2 options; 

A) Warnock, make this season a free hit and have the king of poohouse entertain. Then come the end of the season appoint our long term guy.

 
B) Go long term now and hope we back the right horse this time. Notts County or Stockport’s maybe? Eustace if he gets the sack? I like Evatt but he would be to expensive I imagine and maybe his Snapchat woes are affecting his personal life right now, so steer clear.

Or what about option 3, appoint Warnock or someone like him -  a 'Jim Smith' type, been there, done it older manager - but also appoint his potential successor to work alongside him as an assistant. Someone like Curtis Davies maybe? I could see Cutis learning the ropes alongside alongside someone like that for a season or so and then taking us to the next level

Warne has 3 and a half years left, minimum. Not going anywhere. 

OK thanks. 

I don't disagree with the options discussed on this thread, but I think Wilson is a real player and will go on to shine for us

I remember being at work when Derby were missing Stimac against Leicester and a Leicester fan advised us we were lucky as they were missing Prior AND Walshy.  How we laughed, even the resident plastic Liverpool fan, at the comparison.

  I wasn't laughing when we replaced Stimac with bleedin Prior.

mmm we didn't laugh so loud when we played them at home towards the end of Jim Smith's time
