inter politics

100%. Desperately need this. 

Talked about a change in culture - moving away from a bland all over white colour scheme at the training ground, ensure players respect the badge, on time to meetings, not shaking Warne's hand when subbed, mobile phone use, etc...
Players voted for the club captain (may not be a player who plays every week). To be announced on Thursday.

What's Warney most proud of...interesting response. Inject a bit of fun and a bit of realism...inducing the correct culture. Warney is very interesting when he talks about culture...he's a serious student and what I call a proper "cultural architect" - I'd liken it to what Cloughie used to do ...without actually knowing it was that. 

My concern is another 22 year old going out of the door and the replacements on offer Wood (29), Forshaw (31) and Tunicliffe (30). 
If we're in League One next season, we don't have a Bird, Bielik and Knight to sell and propping up our budget to the tune of £5m - there surely needs to be some emphasis on bringing in players who we could potentially recoup some value otherwise we're going to be recycling through free agency and cast-offs again next year - except with a £5m shortfall in the budget. 

Not happy if true

Wasn’t too fussed about losing Knight, a good player but didn’t think he had much of an impact last season and not really sure what he is and where he fits. If we lose Bird, then I won’t deny, I will be in full on meltdown!! Our best run last season he was at the centre of everything our dip coincided with when he got injured. I haven’t watched preseason but from what I’ve heard he’s looked good, im expecting him to be the standout midfielder in the league this season. Seen comment that he’s overrated, on the contrary I think he’s underrated. Could do more in attacking third but good positional sense defensively excellent on the ball with a good passing range, said it before IMO he’s the best of his generation coming through the academy. Unless we’re going to use the money to improve the team, this makes absolutely no sense to me!!
We’ve got to get out of this league to stop likes of Bristol and Hull being able to take our best players, we’d have a better chance with Bird, price him out of a move and risk him leaving on a free or a small tribunal fee next summer. If we get promoted I reckon he’d sign a new deal!!

Im all for selling bird as long as we can reinvest the money in the squad, if we can't then I don't see the point 

Not happy if true

If Rhodes has pulled this stroke, I would imagine that PW would be reluctant to sign him now. Surely that's not the kind of person that he wants in his squad and nor would I, on principle.

I've had a sneaky peek at his setlist, here's a few highlights.
Up in the Sky - Oasis.
Physical - Dua Lipa.
Run - Snow Patrol.
Out of control - Chemical Brothers.
Something in the Air - Nirvana.
Jump - Kris (hopeful) Kross.
Lump - Presidents of the USA.
Acceptable in the 80's - Calvin Harris.
Whip it (in) - Devo.
 
 

That’s football. Even as a derby fan I can admit he’s one of the greatest English sportsmen of all time. Plus he hates the Aussies 

I find him a difficult person to like but there's no denying his skill and accomplishments.

Sad that Broad has retired but he has been a brilliant servant to England 

Been informed today that Rhodes was due in for a medical yesterday but didn’t show. 99% certain that’s what Warne is on about with people “lying in football”.
He can go swivel for all I care. Been crap for years and messes a club like Derby around. Not the sort of character I want here. Banker.

In his post match interview with Rams TV he mentions about possibly wanting another centre mid as he looked at the bench & didnt see cover if Bird, Smith or Hourihane got injured

Would say midfield as well is very one paced.

Yes and he had a decent half. Were you watching the game?

Nope. Though some would argue Scottish Premiership/Championship could be comparable or worse. If he signed it would be his first season in league one, therefore I’m confident he’d score 25 like McGoldrick last season.
 
I may have been in the pub 👀 still wouldn’t be against him signing up for a year. 

I know there’s a lot of negative talk of Dobbin but frankly he’s what this squad is missing at the moment. Pace and the ability to beat a man. Yes his finishing was iffy, but find a perfect player who’s coming on loan to league one and you’ll struggle. He scared defenders and made things happen, the frustrating times is just a byproduct of the style of footballer he was. We need someone who possesses similar attributes to add to the squad. 

How can you not like him...
 

That’s seems to suggest we’re still crippled by the EFL restrictions but I guess next season that’s £2m we could spend. Just goes to show where we are because of MM. 
if that’s the case £300k then get Rhodes and say LWB and 10 with a loan fee. It’s not great but it’s what it is. 
 
seems to demonstrate why we didn’t go after Alfie May £300k would be all our budget

Listening to him, I think that should be read as "2 or 3 (probably) more in" rather than "2 or 3, probably more, in".

Would be a good replacement for Knight
