With the additional TV money in the champ from next season and if I'm right all our restrictions lifted!? then seems disastrous we've not gambled.

At some point we’re going to have to come to the realisation that with so many players out of contract at the end of the season, and with Warne turning Derby into a short-term stop gap for footballers, we’re going to have a complete rebuild to build a culture within the dressing room. 
How on earth can you have faith in Warne/Thomas/Pearce.. to oversee that based on their body of work up to now?

Don't care what anyone says we are embarrassing and we have screwed up any chance of promotion.

I hope those who can start to ask some questions now, if the club is still restricted then on what terms? If it isn’t, then why are not making signings when it’s painfully obvious we need to? 
 
 

The club and Warne said last January was a mistake, well this is worse. You fear for Collo. Even if he is injury/suspension free he is going to be shagged. 

We’ve had 6 months to line up targets and a month to get them finalised. 
Without knowing the full inner workings of the recruitment process it’s hard to pin blame on one person, but the manager ultimately will be the one that will need to go if we fail to be promoted this year.

Completely and utterly disgraceful.
Everybody involved in our recruitment process should be thoroughly embarrassed and out the door before the start of next season.
This is absolutely not acceptable. Fuming doesn’t cover how I’m feeling 

The players have to be interested in coming as well. Come on there was easily time today to get a better striking option than Lee Gregory if we had a manager with a pull factor would have jumped at the chance to play for us. When rosenior was here players turned down championship clubs to come here 

People saying we're stronger now at the end of the window, but before it opened we said we needed a striker, we've since lost our only two backups in TJJ and Brown, and only have one fit centre forward at the club.
People joked as we went along that we'd reach this point and say "we tried but couldn't get it over the line", but I didn't think anyone was serious. For that to be the eventual outcome smacks of a remarkable level of incompetence. Is the recruitment guy still in his probationary period? Surely not worth keeping on. And such a shame Warne has no ability of his own, or contacts in the game, to attract players. 

Just read this, too late to check accuracy but pretty damning fact. 
"The transfer window has officially slammed shut, meaning that Derby now won't have signed a striker under the age of 30 on a permanent deal for SIX YEARS."

This is my worry that Warnes been tunnel vision on a lump to put crosses into and potentially missed some good options by not having a plan b

Depends how much you think he's wasted on signings who don't improve us or whether you you believe he's been too picky in terms of which players we could sign based on factors beyond their footballing ability (or whether he's a rubbish judge if character and/or ability), I guess.
Personally I don't think this is really on him, but bloody hell Paul shut your f****** trap until your sure you can deliver on the the things you talk about.
 

‘Tried’ ‘couldn’t get it over the line’ we’ve had all month pathetic 

And there it is, exactly as I predicted. What a shambolic club we are. 

Broken promises from the management.  I can't believe a word that comes out of the club now.
Shambolic approach in the club's attempt to strengthen in the forward positions despite previous assurances they would.
Jesus, how the mighty have fallen☹️

I don't care what they say about transfer window habits and practices. If you have a priority need, you don't chance it to the last day of the window.

Didn’t know they are an item

And a manager of football is needed

The inability of this club to deliver on its actions is concerning. We went into the window wanting a striker, publicly stating for a long time how we need extra men upfront, spent probably 6-8 months identifying strikers, yet despite raising funds through a player sale on the final day - still can’t get the job done? 
It’s this exact approach why unless there are changes this club will struggle to be successful. We are without direction and conviction. 
This is not me moaning we haven’t signed a striker BTW, I’m not sure I trust the club to sign one with quality anyway, but this is a unequivocal example of how the club can’t even follow up their own actions. 

The recruitment strategy at this club is absolutely pathetic, it’s needed sorting for years and here we are yet again.

The end of Warne so there could well  be a silver lining

I do think us fans Simmo deserve a bit better …we pack out every away end and have fantastic support so b club should be a bit more honest with us 
I could honestly say if the club said we can’t afford to buy a striker at the quality we want then fair enough …but I thought we were lead to believe we had a few quid but now January has gone and nowt!!! But we’ll all still be there on Saturday all 3154 of us ….disappointing 
apologies I sound very ungrateful we do at least have a club blahdy blah
