Are you really trying to push an argument that Warne has faced challenges at Rotherham this season that are similar to those faced by Liam at Derby. I doubt Warne had a squad of 5 players on 1st July.
Rotherham's away form this season is only marginally better than Derby's and yet an argument is being made that it is right to replace Liam as our away form isn't good enough. If poor away form is the problem then Warne doesn't seem the obvious answer.

Paul Warne is a Ram, is a Ram, is a Ram
Paul Warne is a Ram, he hates Derby ?

Disappointing decision for me.  I'm not sure that we'd have been promoted under LR but I'm not sure we will be promoted under the new man either and LR would at least have tried to do it with class and dignity.  After the MM years this would've been enough for me. 
Obviously easy for me to say as I'm not the one who has used my own money to save the club so understand that things are totally different for DC.

Well the noisy minority have their way it seems. Can't say I'm looking forward to us playing like Rovrum, promotion or no promotion, but the doombots assure us that this is the way forward and Liam had to go. Let's see how it plays out. A side note perhaps, but it would have been classier had we allowed Liam to announce he was stepping down. Think we owed him that much, at least. Likewise, have to say that coming off one of our better performances and currently sitting just outside the play-off slots, this does seem an odd decision and an even stranger choice of replacement. Appeasement, knee-jerk, or calculated brilliance? We shall see.

Not a fan of this decision. It absolutely stinks of short term thinking which I thought we'd all had enough of under Mel. In the long term Warne has not shown he can do an adequate job in the second division which is where we want to be. As a result of this we're ripping up the playbook 11 games in and giving the reigns to a bloke who's style of football is antithetical to the one we've been playing? I just can't make it make sense. I agree Rosenior could have done better, I've felt at times quite critical of our tactics and performances even when we've won games but this is a damn stupid appointment. 

Way too early in the season to make statements like that. All to play for.

Would also add that had Warne been at Derby under Mel’s tenure with the money that was made available, I’m not so sure he would still have a few things to say about that.
Never once heard of a manager complaining that they have been backed too much.

Heartfelt thank you to you Liam. The way you helped bring the club together and your work bringing in so many quality players in a short space of time will not go forgotten. Disappointing and sudden end but you'll always be welcome back at Derby.

I hope this does not unravel in the same way as the Nathan Jones move to Stoke City. He went there from Luton and tried to implement his “Kick and Rush “ style. The players gave it the thumbs down and he was soon back at Luton where they love him. He did end up with a nice wedge in his  back pocket . That would not be a good outcome for us.

Rotherham have managed 1 goal and 3 draws in 4 away games this season.

If we'd brought Warne in at the start of the season, and allowed him to sign players that he wanted for the system that he wants to play, I'd have supported that, even though I might not enjoy the style of football (assuming he'd play similarly to his Rotherham team). But given that we've got a squad 80% of which has been signed by Rosenior, I'd have stuck with him for the season at least, unless it was made clear that the squad wasn't happy with him and his coaches. 

Oooops ?

I thought i'd show a comparison to our promotion season from this division in 1985/86 for a bit of fun. I'll try to do it game by game if there's any interest to read it.
Game number 9 was a 2 - 0 away win at Cardiff City & took us to 13 points - so we're ahead of that. Attendance was just 3,435 at Ninian Park
We'd just beaten Div 1 Leicester City 2 - 0 in the 1st leg of the Milk Cup
It appears that you could only name 1 substitute then as well which surprised me
Starting lineup:
Goalkeeper Mark Wallington
Right back Charlie Palmer
Central defender Rob Hindmarch
Central Defender Ross Maclaren
Left back Steve Buckley
Midfielder Steve McClaren
Winger/Midfielder Gary Micklewhite
Midfielder Geraint Williams
Forward Trevor Christie
Forward Bobby Davison
Winger/Midfielder Jeff Chandler
Substitutions: Paul Blades for Steve McClaren
 

No thanks. We dont have hundreds of millions of pounds in parachute payments to help him out

Budgie - what a band, criminally under-rated.

You can get that one on vinyl.  
 

Always thought they had a style similar to the first Rush album (specially vocals). That is a compliment.

Seen Schenker a number of times in both UFO and solo and his performance can be extremely variable depending on his 'state'. He seems to have got himself well sorted over recent years and the last few times I have seen him he has been outstanding. If you get another chance I would go and see him, even better if he gets Ronnie Romero out of the band!

Wow - great recommendation.

Ah man that’s an incredible list of bands . You into any modern bands ? I couldn’t recommend a new welsh band called florance black enough , they’re brill 

Thanks for sharing that. Aye, big metal head (hence user name) and whilst I prefer more traditional stuff your song was good. Hope the band is a success and please keep posting on what you are up to.
Any plans to record / release anything?

People keep giving him a hard time and calling him out, but he’s got far more right than wrong this summer and I’m happy that he keeps sharing his info with us when he doesn’t have to.
