    Could be a wonderful bit of kidology… get to sign Gayle due to a perceived urgent need. Collins recovers in record time and we secure the League one trophy with a Collins / Gayle spearhead. I’ll start Gibbo’s letter ‘Dear Mr Parry, it’s just not fair….’

    NimonicRam reacted to Ambitious in One year of Paul Warne   
    Let’s start with the pros, as it’s only fair: He’s an intelligent tactician and theoretically astute. He can talk a good game, clearly has a good understanding of the game, feel even though he’s said previously he’s not a student of the game that he understands it very well. I see him as man-manager, emotionally intelligent, albeit not to everyone’s cup of tea (but who is). 
    cons, for me, as a tactician he sees players on the pitch as pieces on a chest board rather than players looking to develop. He will help players gauge an understanding of the game, evidently he likes to make sure his players are aware and they obviously do their home work. I don’t see him as a technical coach, like McClaren and Cocu, more-so a fitness, psychological coach and that’s where he feels comfortable. It makes his quite stubborn, at times, we’ve all seen that with formations this season. I also feel that he has struggled with the size of the club and the weight of expectation, he’s almost played it off but incorrectly at times. Lastly, in contrast with the above, I believe he is incredibly aware tactically of what he wants to do and how to be successful - I’m just not quite sure he knows how to achieve it with the recruitment required. What he wants, how we recruited were at odds - clearly there was someone compensating so I won’t hammer him as ultimately it falls to the recruitment staff to find the very best players available to us. If he was dead set on three CBs then he needed to add speed and lateral quickness to the wide CBs but instead signed Nelson and Bradley. Doesn’t add up. 
    Overall, 5/10, the club isn’t really better or worse off. We will get into the playoffs, I’m sure, but without significant improvement it’s a wasted ticket. Philosophically, he sees the game in a lot of ways different to me, but a lot of people do, but it’s the reason why I’m not right behind him currently - like I was McClaren and Cocu.

    You only needed a handful of games under Rosenior to understand what the plan was.  A year into Warnes tenure and I've still not got a clue how he wants us to play.  We're never the same from one game to the next.

    He's also stuck on 49 appearances for us according to Wiki.... 50 seems a round number for an 'add on'. His Derby career could already be over.

    How differently we're operated now... By all accounts we've been in for 2-3 players. Almost nothing in the rumour mill! We have no idea who's coming in and any links are tenuous at best. Previously every sports journalist had the inside track on Derby, particularly the 'not so' reluctant Nicko! Just another example of how we're being run professionally in my opinion. Wonder if it will change in the summer when the FFP / business plan shackles loosen?

    There's a difference between the Sheikh, Alonso and CK compared to AA and MA. The latter 2 have a track record in English football and are not complete unknowns. I would hope that the fit and proper persons test should be a slam dunk and that their finances are a lot more open.

    Would love to be there next season. Sadly I can't be, as I'm relocating overseas. Will give them the £100 or so for Rams TV overseas. Hopefully Kirchner comes through today but suspect Ashley is our man. As long as we have a club I will be happy. That's what we need to keep coming back to when we are deriding a particular option. At least we have some options!!!

    I'm with Ambitious but also very hopeful. No celebrations till it's done and Mel Morris is past tense where Derby is concerned.

    Creating leverage without increasing liability is exactly what good business men do - and that’s what CK has done here. 
    All signs point to this being completed, of course, but I’ll be interested to see what next week looks like when he takes over funding. If there is no movement, at all, then this is effectively an extension to the extension and the ‘conditions’ will keep his nose clean from any potential backlash, unfortunately another pretty significant kick of the can down the road. 
    I’m not sure there’s been any breakthrough with Mel Morris selling the ground. I have a feeling we would’ve heard about it from one of the many news sources we typically hear from, especially with something so big and with so many leaks. 
    I don’t want to temper expectations, but reading between the lines and there’s still plenty that could go wrong.
