Really? When he was appointed we were told Warne was 'adaptable' and that he was 'happy with the squad'. Who knows what was said in the interview with regards his thoughts on the Academy.

Did Gill play in the latest RamsTV covered game? I seem to remember the name. On the 'are they ready' discussion, would 'we' have picked Bogle for a Championship season?

And the other bits that fans are expressing grave doubts about? That's the point being made. Taken individually then each point might be excused. But taken together? Where do you see Warne progressing the club to?

Has Warne decades of experience in playing youth? I suppose he must have brought some players through Rotherham's academy?

Too many games, all for the coffers of EUFA. The higher ranked teams shouldn't have to play the likes of Gibraltar - 14-0 vs France ffs! But money is killing the competition. So we were through already, who expected much gassing out from the England lads?

None coming through the Academy then?

The same league position an 'in-experienced' interim manager got us to? February is too late. Another transfer window along the lines of summer? Neither the ins nor outs from then have made us much stronger - maybe, finally, a right back. Where is our 'long-term strategy' and our Premier League ambition after more than a year of Warne?

Have you taken this statement into account? I find it very depressing to be honest. I'd be interested in another statement from the Club on how they think this is being implemented by Warne. "Derby said in a statement: “Derby County Football Club are delighted to announce the appointment of Paul Warne as head coach. “Warne has joined the club with immediate effect on a contract until the summer of 2026. “As was made clear in the summer, the board intended to take a period of time evaluating every aspect of the club and having done that, we believe Paul’s track record of success at this level fits perfectly into our long-term strategy.” From another quote: "Upon joining the club, Warne showed a lot of enthusiasm saying that his end goal was to help the Rams get back to the Premier League, he told Rams TV: “There’s a handful of clubs that aren’t in the Premier League that will get to the Premier League. “Whether I can play a part in that, a big part, a small part, whether I’m the lucky one that takes them back to the Premier League, that is the ambition of the club.” So. Long-term strategy and back to the Prem. Can't see much in the squad to reflect either of those points.

But he didn't get a penalty so maybe he didn't get a challenge on the ball.

There he is.

Where's 'arry?

Offside by a distance? VAR having a wobble. 😄

What constitutes a penalty is a vast area of vagueness now. Does it even have to be deliberate?

Maguire with his head at waist level wanting a penno. 😄 Wasn't gonna hurt him anyway.

All you laughing boys who didn't see the challenge for the penalty. That's the modern game.

I was more interested in the first para about Rotherham owner looking for an established Championship manager and wondered whether Warne would fit that description! 😄

Lol. The Chuckle Bros who follow my posts around disagree. 😄

If you watch Lewis is looking towards the man coming and then there's the challenge. I'd give it.

Nope. 😄

Him and Sonny Bradley separated at birth! 😄

Maguire! FFS. That was a stitched on penno. 😄

Really interesting. Reading that and considering where we are supposedly going with a Cat1 Academy I just do not understand how and why Warne was chosen.
