The level of pretentiousness in your pompous drivel is genuinely amusing. 
Was she a ''wise head'' when she came out with this howler?

Fantastic. Thanks for the time and dedication. It's really appreciated. 

And there I was, foolishly thinking the period of compulsory royal worshipping had finished for the time being....

Certainly Warne's the pre and post match interviews will be somewhat less considered than those of Liam......  #$@!%  pass the swear box someone  

Do we know the figures?

Assuming that it isn't Liam's idea not to continue, or that he isn't off to pastures new anyway, this all seems a bit sad really.  I don't think he's done anything particularly wrong (I know some people seem to expect us to win every game 5-0 and they're going to continue to be disappointed whoever comes in and fails to achieve that), he's stuck with us when he might not have needed to and he's obviously a bright chap. 
Again, it might all come out that Liam is ok with it and all that, but as with some decisions under Mel, this all seems a bit premature.  I was looking forward to a bit of stability and seeing if he could build a squad over a period of time.
Oh well, while not particularly excited about this Warne bloke I'll give him the same chance I give everybody. I just hope he isn't another Rowett as watching that nearly made me give up my season ticket (in fact, it nearly made me give up on football altogether).

True, but we don’t have any Rotherham style players. Bird for example won’t like it. Can’t help but think - Liams misplaced faith in Collins has cost him.

Do we have the players for ‘winning football’, as you put it? We’ve spent the summer signing players with a system in mind.
This has a bit of the Wassall to Pearson to McClaren to Rowett about it.

I don’t get this one either ?

For the owners there is a massive, massive priority to get out of the division this season. This is everything. I have rolled my eyes as plenty of posters have said maybe it would be better to stabilize this year and go up next. As if such a thing were possible. The consequences of not getting promoted would be terrible and that seems the only priority here. Bring someone in who has a track record of promotions out of League One. It's easier to stabilize and retain players in the Championship, with much higher revenues. The thinking will be that the style of football does not matter a jot so long as we go up.
David Clowes put a lot money into saving the club but we have all known he doesn't have a bottomless pit to fund us. This seems pretty pragmatic. Also ruthless and tough on Rosenior, but if Rosenior is staying, he must be on board with it at a fairly significant level. 

Very surprised with both aspects of this announcement to be honest. 
 
 

Was it Mr and Mrs Morris per chance ?

His style of football has got Rotherham promoted and 8th in the championship.
Do you like us going away thinking we played some nice stuff but didn't score?
We haven't got time to worry about style of football right now. We need winning football.

Very odd, Rosenior was doing well enough to think that you'd only replace him if you could get a top name with a proven track record.
Paul Warne, in my opinion doesnt appear to be a step up, more of a step sideways, but I guess until we get more information, we'll just have to trust that the people in charge have a plan.

Warne also seems like a bit of an accident waiting to happen.
Zero goodwill with Derby fans, only ever had one job where he seems to be good in one league and very limited in the league above. Style of play always struck me as quite Rowett-y and probably more suited to a smaller underdog style club.

More than likely that we scrape a home win against Wycombe or maybe draw, then lose the next away game at Cheltenham. The squad of players we have, should be achieving better results. No question. 

? next away game at Cambridge 

Waited until today to post as I was seething after the match tbh. Thanks so much for @Bossfor the tickets as besides the game me and my gf had a cracking time in Lincoln.  The performance was utterly abject from first to last, mistakes littered the game but tactically Rosenior is either blind or stubborn at this point. I said a couple of weeks ago we were making chances and it was bad luck but I now feel there are systemic issues hindering us. There is absolutely no urgency playing out the back and once a team presses us we look decidedly nervous and are almost bound to make an error. Wildsmith's distribution is also absolutely shocking and needs working on asap. 
In the middle playing both Bird and Hourihane is suicide, both ball players who lack any bite or willingness to track their man or contribute in any way besides spraying slow 10-20 yard passes back and sidewards.  Someone mentioned Bird might be wanting to talk to his agent, well given his start to the season I wouldn't care one bit if he did. It isn't helped by the lack of quality out wide, NML can't cross or finish to save his life (no consistency at all in whether he pings, balloons or gets the ball in the middle at all and misses too many chances) Dobbin too often tries to dribble and looses it and Barkhauzen can't finish. Collins isn't being used properly so I don't want to blame him too much and the service he's getting is horribly inconsistent. 
Our slow tempo, dubious quality, and lack of cohesion are creating a team that are too easy to defend and attack against. Our midfield lacks shape and a willingness and ability to actually contribute defensively leaving the defence over exposed. We've seen this in a lot of games this season and it's partly why Cashin is making so many last ditch challenges. The slow tempo, lack of a central outlet for a ball in the final third and poor quality out wide are all contributing to a lack of clear chances and clinical finishing against teams who decide they're going to sit in and close down hard against us. 

It's embarrassing to lose and put in a performance that deserved nothing against a team struggling at the bottom of division 3. There is no other word for it, utterly embarrassing and I hope the players and staff woke up this morning feeling quite ashamed that this has happened. Yes, every team we play against will give an extra 10% and so will their fans because we're not Sutton United. But the fact that we are Derby County needs to be a reminder to every single player to not only give everything in the shirt but demand a certain level of performance that we ultimately expect of them. Last night was not good enough, Plymouth was not good enough, Shrewsbury was not good enough. We need to get our heads out of our collective ar*** and demand better. 

Lincoln 1 - Rams         Collins 

I, along with many people, am saddened by her death. I never met the lady and am not particularly royalist but she does seem to have been loved and respected throughout the world.
On @Ellafella’s poll (that doesn’t allow comments) I voted no to pausing football this weekend but I would be strongly in favour of a minutes silence followed by the national anthem and players wearing black arm bands. Thankfully, we’re away from home as Derby always seem to make a mess of such things.
Nice thought B4 but I’m not sure there’s quite a need for a massive flag especially dedicated to the event.

I was thinking the very same, but it doesn't explain cancelling grassroots football. Perhaps it's just the football authorities feeling that they're demonstrating some kind of 'moral' high ground for their sport?

…and another hugely historic document connected with the game. The Derby County Committee Meeting notes from 3rd September detailing inter alia the team to play v Bolton. This is the stuff of history {thanks to @loweman2, who else}.
