    Not calling for his head, but don’t think he’s the right man for the job. He’s come to a big club with a small club mentality.

    I have stated the day he signed, he is the wrong man for the job. Can we get Liz Truss in next week instead!!!

    Get Bielik back from Brum. This team is crying out for a midfield enforcer.

    I have to say that there’s a right old mixed bag of views about this game on here tonight. Non-viewers won’t have much of a clue whether we’re doing well, average, poor or what. Funny old game!

    plymouthram reacted to Carl Sagan in Liam Rosenior   
    Much the best thing all round. Had he stayed Liam would have known it was undermining Warne's position. Plus we need to break away from the way of playing that has been ingrained in the players, and we couldn't do that with Rosenior remaining at the club.
    He leaves amicably, with thanks, with his stock pretty high. I would argue Derby were his experimental project and we could not afford to be his experimental project, but I understand he will also have thought he was doing the best thing for the club.
    Look forward to seeing where Warney takes the team, and following where Rosenior's career goes from here.

    Anything less than a top 6 finish in my eyes would mean the wrong call by David Clowes and the board. Also if we did get promoted, Paul Warne's record in the Championship is crap. I hope I'm proved wrong, but I think they have made the wrong decision.

    Pathetic ! So a bean counting civil servant at the palace floated a dumb idea to ministers .. translated as “shock horror Queen asks for hand out”. You really have dredged the depths of the Daily Mail Gutter and the One eyed Grauniad with aplomb. Take a bow.

    A lot of if's but's and maybe's. We, with a little luck could have won away at Fleetwood, Shrewsbury and Charlton. Iffy decisions on a penalty and 2 disallowed goals at Lincoln. Plymouth's 2nd goal a good yard offside. We could have been looking at 9 additional points on our current total. I wonder what Clowes and the board would have done in them circumstances.

    David Clowes took over the business from his father. I would suspect there is people in company that have continued to run the business on the same track that his dad ran it.

    Depths?? We're 7th, one point outside the play-off places after playing most of the season with one misfiring striker and Richard Stearman at Centre-Half (no offence intended Rich) ? 
    You can justify anything on the basis of "didn't meet expectations", particularly when those expectations haven't been explicitly stated. Now we know that it's "promotion or bust" we can understand better why they've gone for a more experienced and successful manager at this level. We'll also know when to start speculating about who's taking over next. 
    I hope this proves to be a bold and hugely successful appointment. If it isn't, we've got another sizeable compensation package to fund so I hope the Board has factored that possibility into the budgets too, because Mel never did.

    Was it Clowes own assessment or was it the boards, or even Stephen Pearce  who under Mel Morris must have known what was going on under his tenure. I hope to be proven wrong but I think this appointment will fail and within 2 years Warne and his coaching staff will be shown the door. We have compensation to pay to Rotherham and giving Warne a contract until the summer of 2026 will be costly if they do axe him. This all stinks of Stephen Pearce's doing, I hope David Clowes has deep pockets.

    My expectations have gone down, unless Paul Warne can prove me wrong. His style of football will have to change with the current squad we have. If we revert to what Rotherham have done in the last 6 years it won't be nice to watch and if he does manage to get us up, standby for a relegation season the following year. I predict the man will be sacked within 2 years.

    Get the interim appointment to some degree but then to appoint someone who adopts a completely different strategy when it comes to football, different to the players we have, and also someone with a long association with a small club with a small club mentality, its random, it does just not fit, it’s the same as Mel sacking Steve McClaren and appointing Nigel Pearson. 
     
    I will back him as i do any manager (I don’t question a manager after 5 games) but I’m concerned this is exactly the approach the likes of Sunderland and Sheff Utd followed and they were down here years.

    plymouthram got a reaction from S8TY in Paul Warne appointed as Head Coach   
    Warne may fit the bill with his previous success at League one level, but does his style of play fit the bill with our current squad. I think this could be a massive mistake by the hierarchy at this club. I hope I am wrong, or perhaps Warne might adapt a different style of play, than his Rowett/ball kind of tactics/style.

    plymouthram reacted to Dave Mackay Ate My Hamster in Paul Warne appointed as Head Coach   
    We all knew we had a fabulous squad for this division. If I'd spent 53 million on our club and we were on the edge of the playoffs early doors with a rookie manager, still not having sorted out our away form, I'd be thinking " for an extra 750K in compensation I could get better ", I'd be twisting, not sticking.

    Don't forget he was a very reluctant fan-buyer. He doesn't have billions. 53 mill is still a massive risk. The only way I would have stuck with Liam at this point is if he was six points clear at the top of the division. Even then I'd be fretting...

    So DC bought the club on the basis that it was s*** or bust this season with autos as the only available option (7 points away with a mere 37 games to go) Really?

    Ironic.
    We're not here to mess around but we're going to give someone the job on an interim basis, let them develop a certain style of play suited to the players we could get (the only players we could get) and then, 2 months after the start of the season, we're going to look to employ a manager who's style of play is the polar opposite of the one we've done all that work on and which doesn't suit the players we've signed (the only players we could get).
    Sounds suspiciously like messing around to me!
