He's my hero. Saved our club and looks like undoing the bulk of the damage endured under MM in only his second season as owner. Deserves all the plaudits he gets in spades IMO.

Personally I think a pitch invasion for reclaiming our normal place in the Championship would be a bit tinpot.
Letting the players celebrate together and then having a lap of honour is a far classier move than invading the pitch and swarming the players, including opposition players who are left in a pretty vulnerable position in the majority of these over-glorified pitch invasions.

Hi Duracell, we have a pair of ideal seats for you, we picked the seats because we're close to friends on the opposite side of the aisle.
We're stair 41, row kk, seats 398,399 immediately next to the aisle in the lower east in line with the edge of the centre circle on the south stand side of the half way line. Row kk is about 4 rows down from the entry stairs and the seats are on the right as you walk down to them.
We could meet you at the bottom of stair 41 in the concourse or you can just let me know your seat numbers.

The football this season has been tough to watch, even when winning. There's definitely cause for concern when thinking about how we're going to do if we go up. 
But if Paul Warne manages to get us promoted with a squad that has been plagued with injuries all season whilst having next to no money to spend, then he will have more than earned the right to take us into next season.
He'll also have earned the chance to spend some money and mould this squad into what he wants.
Quite what that might, in theory, look like worries me slightly, based on what we've seen this season. But that's just an assumption. Maybe with some money to spend, Warne can overhaul the playing staff and get us playing some nicer stuff? We'll see.
The bigger question will then be: what money has he got to work with? 
The club and ownership will need to back him if he's going to have a decent chance.

It's crap, cringey and completely unnecessary. 
That is all.

Always been a fan of Fozzy a great servant a great guy who deserves goods stuff 
but my does he deserve it, 5/6 weeks out just slots it like he’s not been anywhere, 
Hope we’ll see him see promotion with us he deserves it

The Rams with the Warne & his side
Behind the hatred, there lies
A murderous desire for love
How can they look into my eyes
And still they don't believe me?
How can they hear me say those words
Still they don't believe me?
And if they don't believe me now
Will they ever believe me?
And if they don't believe me now
Will they ever, they ever believe me?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
The Rams with the Warne & his side
Behind the hatred there lies
A plundering desire for l-l-love
How can they see the love in our eyes
And still they don't believe us?
And after all this time
They don't want to believe us
And if they don't believe us now
Will they ever believe us?
And when you want to live
How do you start?
Where do you go?
Who do you need to know?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Enjoy the ride. 🐏
Love David Clowes 🐏
Love Paul Warne 🐏
Love Derby County 🐏

What a great post and may I ask what brain cell number 2 is up to this evening.

For me, Warne is absolutely right in his messaging.
We are in a good position but nothing is won and so much can change in 1-2 games, never mind 9.
He would be foolish to over-promise at this point. It’s a tight, topsy turvy race with five teams battling for two places. We’re not 10 points clear, after all.
I think Warne is right to encourage the fans to unite behind the team, fill the ground, and enjoy the ride rather than brace ourselves for potential failure and consume ourselves with the hang ups surrounding the manager.

We're 12 points ahead of Oxford in 7th, same games played. Although mathematically possible of course, there's no realistic way they finish above us with only 10 games to play. Making up over a point a game on any side near the top of the table is a tough ask, especially when you don't play them again this season.
Hopefully that gives us the confidence to throw everything at going for 2nd place. We don't really need to look over our shoulder, and it makes little difference whether we finish 3rd or 6th. Let's go for it.

I reckon that if an applicant for the Supporters Board said that they have wide approval from this forum, then it might be seen positively during the application process.
I think it would be great if a well-respected poster ended up on the Supporters Board because it would be a brilliant channel between a significant group of fans and the club.

You're right. Him signing a 3 year contract is awful news. Terrible news. He clearly doesn't want to play in league one, despite signing a 3 year deal with a league one side.
How can you read news like this and conclude "well that's him gone then". Absolutely incredible stuff. Honestly.
 

This was what it was. I was swore to secrecy so I couldnt say exactly what it was because its not fair on the person who told me. I just recognised people were unhappy yesterday so wanted to try and say look good news is coming.

Best midfielder at the club. Leaving as won't sign a new contract. Good fee. Keep the player for the rest of the season.
He came through the ranks, stood by us when we were on our arse, does his best, good egg arond the place, getting a bigger wage in a higher division, club doesn't lose out.
Max Bird comes out well, Derby County come out well. 
Moaners, please shush. I'm embarrassed by you.

f*** me give the kid a bit of respect
Stuck by the club when it was properly properly s***, could have done a Buchanon or a Byrne but didnt
Time for him to move on.. No problem with that, he's earned a move. Going to see out the season so that he doesn't leave the club in a tougher spot for the rest of the season and gives some money and time for Clowes to get him replaced, good on him. Best of luck and hope he gets a big pay rise! 

He hasn’t forced a move? He’s told them he won’t sign a new deal and Clowes has accepted a deal he believes to be good value which is probably just under tribunal fee (a discount for it not being a drawn out affair?). 
 
Some derby fans are such babies. 
 
‘turned his back on us’ ‘forced a move’ ‘don’t come back’ 
 

If ever anyone deserved a round of applause,  it's Curtis. 33 minutes, anyone?

Isn't TJJ the option, more athletic, better touch? Just not 100% fit yet, and when Waghorn and Washington are fit, aren't they different?
And if Collins got injured we would need a replacement, or rotate to keep them both fresh, although I believe Smith is more of a brute and better in the air to be able to Bully the defenders anyway.

He got 18 goals 7 assists last season in league 1, he’ll scores goals. Isn’t that what we need???

I know this has been said by many today but: 
1 - this is a brilliant signing on paper, and I can’t wait to watch CBT + NML on each wing
2 - first transfer fee since 2020? It’s nice to know we’re a normal football club again.

Suppose you want money for nothin and your Chick's for free too ?

Blackett-Taylor, Mendez-Laing and Barkhuizen all rotating and chipping in with goals and assists will be a game changer for us in this 2nd half of the season. It allows us to keep them all fresh and shouldn't have big dips in form (which often comes from fatigue). We also have Wilson terrifying full backs. Good options  to have.
