I still find it hard to fathom that a good number of fans are actively having a pop at our owner.  This is a man who did not want to get involved, but simply had to because he knew what the likely alternative was.  It also pisses me off that folk think he should sell up at the earliest opportunity because he didn't spunk £3m on a striker in the summer.  Only he, along with his accountants, truly know how bad it was when he started his due diligence, so he'll do whatever he can to ensure we don't get in that state again.  If we're moaning at anyone, perhaps we should be moaning at the head of recruitment for not finding the wheat amongst the chaff, in the last transfer window.
As for bringing in, and for the time being, sticking with Warne.  If you had the choice between a novice manager or someone who has 3 promotions from this division, to get you out of it, who are 99% of people going to choose??

Just shows that he's not one of these managers who actually gather information on their opponents, otherwise he'd know that if anyones going to be on the wrong end of a diabolical refereeing decision it's us...  Fat, gobby Bamford!!!

If we're having to reply of young strikers with potential isn't that what our own academy for?  I think if we'd signed a pup on loan who'd only bagged, for the sake of argument 2 in 14, our fan base would be melting down quicker than it already is. 
How can you have the best squad overall if you don't have a good forward line??!?!??!?!??!?!?!?!!!???

I wouldn't go as far as saying we have the best squad, it's very lop sided.  We have very good defenders, a decent midfield, but we're lacking in attack.  But as Warne has alluded to, there has been a dearth of decent strikers available unless you can pay silly money, of which we don't have.  Having said that, if they're played regularly enough I'd expect Waghorn, Collins & Washington to get 10-15 this season

Hello Mr Warne,  It's nice to have you on the forum.
No pressure if we don't get in the play offs?!?!?!?!!?!!  I'll take an ounce of what you're smoking please.  There's no way he'd still be in he job if we don't finish in the top 6 this year.  You would literally half the amount of season tickets we'd sell, reducing income, which in turn reduces transfer budgets, which Mr Clowes can't afford to top up, and we'll be in limbo for years
I wouldn't say I'm worn out, but i'm getting increasingly frustrated because and can see some aspects of his management that's good, but the constant underdog mentality stuff has to stop.  Have a siege mentality by all means, like what Sir Brian & Fergie used to instill in their teams, but being humble servants of a football club, playing for your wife's & kids' respect/love doesn't give you level of confidence (slight arrogance) that you need to go out and thrash the Shrewbury's of this world.  There's no strut to us at all...

Hoooooow 'bout them Cowboys
 

Not to mention the 200ft viaduct they'll be building over Long Eaton.  I can't wait to open my curtains in the mornings to stare at that.  Not to mention the chaos they'll cause for years with just building the funking thing.  
Let's face it, it was a vanity project to begin with, just more typical Tory/Little Englander bluster, and bait to grab Red Wall votes.  Just think the amount of other things the money could've been spent on...

Ince was signed permanently by Clement/Mad Mel.  
 
Gorgeous George would’ve been the best signing the club ever made, if it wasn’t for the eagerness of his boss to play him in a pointless friendly right after he joined… 
Still erks me that Dawkins was so under utilised. Used to knit stuff together so well.

And it's blatantly obvious now that Jody Morris was the brains behind the operation.  It's no coincidence that his Everton tenor was so bad with Clement as his No 2.
I for one voted yes.  I prefer to watch a gung ho, heavy metal pressing game, than endless passes between our back 4.  I think Warne's problem is that he's turning us into underdogs for most games.  It's the same issue that Moyes had when he went to Man Utd.  Now I'm not for a second comparing us to them, or displaying the kind of entitlement reserved for those gimps up the A52, but we're a big club in this division (and the one above) and every team, regardless of whether we're home or away, shouldn't look forward to playing us.  But I get the feeling that a lot of his ethos is based on being a scrappy, "have a good go" team, whereas we should have a bit more arrogance about us.
