Like with Knight, how do we know the Bird money will be reinvested in the squad this summer?

I don’t

Any of them nice people though?

For what it's worth I think the reason we are all so racked off is that Warne has been going on about adding a striker for weeks, and the club have done a crap job about being explicit with any restrictions we may or may not be working within.
The perception will be that the club has over promised and under delivered and it looks like we'll be limping home this season having apparently learned nothing from last season.

At least Warne hasn’t wasted the club’s money on a crock. And wendies didn’t hold us to ransom

And a manager of football is needed

Perhaps Clowes didn’t want Warne to waste what was in those pots …perhaps he’s seen enough

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."

So we're just staying up now to see our best midfielder being confirmed signed in a Bristol jersey. 

Does feel like we spent far too long playing footsie with Sheff Wed. Should have speed-dated our way onto other options much earlier.

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

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