The £7-8m quoted is purely from the new TV deal passed down from the Prem. There will be an increase in revenue from sponsorship, and season ticket sales to add on, probably another £2-3m. A drop in the ocean compared to the relegated teams and those like Dog Fingerer FC who have to prop up their massive losses through their mard arse chairman...

If I were David Clowes I certainly wouldn’t give a rats arse about my manager ‘enjoying’ a 80-90% approval rating on a fans forum (no disrespect admin 😬). I would however see how he gets on next season before thinking about a new long term deal…

That’s my new phone wallpaper 📱

Well he went to school with my dad so he’s at least early 70s

I'd agree with letting Collins go cus League 1 looks to be his natural level at this stage in his career. But I'd certainly give Smith another 12 months as he gave some fresh impetuous down the stretch, played some good stuff and it's important to have some senior pros in and around the squad. Plus I don't think the jump to the Championship is that big. You look at the table now and with some astute signings I'd fancy our chances against anyone from Brizzle downwards, especially at home.

Considering Leeds appear to be in all sorts of poo financially if they were to fail, I'd prefer Ipswich to go up...

The fact that when he brought in Cocu he spoke of reading a study that said he (Cocu) had promoted more youngsters to the first team than any other manager in the top 5 European divisions. The study? A sidebar on Cocu’s placement in FourFourTwo’s top 50 managers of the year… I know hindsight is 20/20, but he talked b******* from day one Love this. The guy owns the friggin building, can do whatever takes his fancy, but still shows the humility to think he might be disturbing the work force if he was to pop in… Class act 👌🏻

I never realised there was an area round the back. I always assumed that it was just the bar section. The Twang poster on the wall is a pretty deep cut

Is it the gaff that used to be the fishmongers??

I didn’t get to any away games so I can only really comment on the standard of the football, and to be honest only Stevenage really lived up to the billing of a bunch of cloggers, kicking seven shades out of the opposition. Pretty much all teams play some decent stuff but, like Carlisle on Saturday, struggle in the final third cus good goal scorers are hard to come by, unless you have comparatively deep pockets.

You mean, add Barcelona to the places that just don't get getting sh!t faced at 9am 🤣

Wooooh! Hang on. 1 - There's a decent looking bar in Borrowash? 2 - It's owned by Ben Osbourne? 3 - Surely we should be reading something into this? What with his deal with Utd bout to expire?

I like many others would occasionally give Daniel a bit of stick but it was nothing to do with disliking him, or his attitude towards his beloved Rams, but simply my own, overly cynical world view. I think it’s extremely important, especially during the massively divisive times we’re living in, to be more like B4.

Revived? Yes. Improved? We'll see...

Right at this very second, I couldn’t give a flying f*** whether people like Paul Warne as a man or a manager, I don’t care whether you think his brand of football leave you cold, or you think he concentrates too much on the opposition, or that he’s too jokey in his interviews. All I care about is that today, him & his staff helped provide me & my lad with memories we will never forget, that were able to share as father & son, that I will happily take to my grave. Thank you Paul. Thank you

Great job Daniel. Thank you 🙏🏻

Anybody get much sleep??? Wide awake at 5:30…

Dear Daniel, I know you've been doing quite a lot of work up there over the past few weeks, in helping us get to the position we find ourselves in. I understand if you had a night off when we played Northampton, you were probably too busy having a cuppa with Sir Brian & Reich Carter, but if you can see your way clear to have an unconscious word in each of the lads' ears before they step out onto the pitch at 12:25, to be the bravest, best versions of themselves for the next 90 odd minutes we'll all be eternally grateful. And if we manage to get what we need, you'll be up there, waving your flange with gusto and cheering them on with the rest of us. 🫶

Curtis Nelson. 10/10 - Consistent colossus Callum Elder. 6/10 - Unlucky with injuries, as he was starting to show he's a good player Joe Ward. 7/10 - If we'd had him fit & firing he'd have been a real asset Sonny Bradley. 5/10 - Won us points, but has cost us a fair few as well Josh Vickers. 6/10 - Steady enough in the games he's played, but certainly hasn't been the neck & neck competition for Wildsmith Kane Wilson. 8/10 - Love to see him going at players, maybe with a full season at wing back he'll be even more of an asset Martyn Waghorn. 6/10 - Kept us going in the first few weeks of the season with vital goals Conor Washington. 5/10 - bar a couple of games, just didn't get going. Too injury prone Tyrese Fornah. 5/10 - Not the player we thought we were getting Elliot Embleton. NA Ryan Nyambe. 8/10 - Defensively, the best right back in League 1 Tyreece John-Jules 6/10 - Feel for the kid as there's a player in there somewhere. Injury free I'd try for him on a free Winter: Ebou Adams. 10/10 - Absolute game changer. Plus a really likeable lad Dwight Gayle. 8/10 - Reckon if he hadn't have gotten injured we'd be up already. Brought a completely different dimension to the attack Corey Blackett-Taylor 6/10 - Everyone will remember the miss against Northampton, but I still rate him Max Bird*. 7/10 - Class player but I think we all know he doesn't 'quite' suit a Paul Warne midfield. I've preferred the balance since he's been injured.

It's all well and good having Nunez & Diaz as 'agents of chaos', but it's the complete opposite of what you want at the business end of the season. It's alright blazing stuff over the bar, or flashing one an inch wide in October, when it's all sh!ts & giggles, but you need dead-eyed killers for the run in. Firminio & Mane would never have missed some of the gilt-edged chances those two have squandered in the past few games. I can't see Cit-eh dropping any points now they're out of Europe. Not a chance

Yeah, I think it's something like a tenner. But with it being on Sky any decent pub will have it on anyway

Weds' form since Rohl came in hasn't been that bad. Just shows how poor they were to start off with, and an example that ditching the boss that got you promoted, as soon as you get promoted isn't always a good idea... I think it's their plight this season that's gotten a lot of fans concerned if we do go up, considering how strong they were last season. But it's worth baring in mind that they shouldn't really have gotten rid of Big Dave in the first place and they definitely shouldn't of hired Munoz who was a relative novice in the Championship and worked with a vastly better squad at Watford.

It pains me to say it, but they'll stay up, simply by the virtue of Burnley & Luton being slightly more rubbish than them. Having said that, if Luton grab a point or three at Wolves it'll put massive pressure on the Treetards to pick points in their home-banker against reigning Premier League, FA Cup & Champions League holders Manchester Cit-eh...

Cameron Brannigan, Ebou Adams & Josh Sheehan would be a very decent midfield next season.

I do hate it when I agree with you Bris. I love Warne. As a bloke he's great, and as a manager he's not too shabby either, but if we're languishing around the bottom as we approach Christmas then like any other manager he should be let go. Most fans would be prepared to yo-yo between the Prem & Championship, but not Championship & League 1. But he's done an amazing job this season, and if we do go up, he deserves a chance.
