For what it’s worth, I was recently lucky enough to spend some time with David Clowes.
A really great guy who loves everything Derby County. I can imagine being that involved can soon take away the love, but absolutely no sign of that.
He said a few things that I’m not going to share as it’s not really my place, but hopefully the below gives you an idea of what he’s thinking.
He said he’s still expecting/aiming for top 2. He doesn’t think it’s unrealistic and thinks our squad is as good as anyone else in the league.
He said that Warne needs to build his team still. Another two transfer windows before he can be fully judged as ‘his’ team.
Obviously the above would probably change if we lose the next 5 games, but if we’re hovering around the playoffs for the rest of the season I think he will give him until at least 10 games in to next season (just my opinion of course!).
