Find the idea of having to show Adams round the training ground (while he’s away on international duty, no less) quite amusing. 

We've shown daryl dike round the training ground. What more do you want?
Sorry I will stop now.
Agree. No panic from me. Hardly any moves at the level we might be looking at. Plenty of time. Keep your powder dry folks.

You didn’t have doubts, you wanted him sacked as you mentioned on numerous occasions.

Just listened to the TalkSport interview. As you would expect he came over really well. I don’t think there are many managers that have his level of emotional intelligence. It’s clear there is lots of thought and planning behind everything, Paul and his team clearly live and breathe and put the hours in. Really interesting there’s two systems he’ll focus on in preseason and basically the players need to know everything about it so have to do their homework and be prepared to talk about it. 
Also it’s clear that he sees good dressing room environment as a potential differentiator and focuses on it heavily,  Personally I think this is why we beat Bolton  automatic, when we weren’t playing well the squad togetherness got us through. Most successful underdogs have strong dressing rooms and togetherness. Look at Luton Cov those sorts of teams. It can bridge some of the gap in quality where teams have bigger budgets. Interesting the whole Warne being appointed was basically Stephen Pearce liking Warne’s interviews, listening to his podcast and basically concluding this is the type of manager we want running our club. Human first and foremost. 
I also found it interesting when Matterface was asking him on Derbys budget last season trying to infer maybe Derby didn’t have the biggest budget and overachieved last season, Warne genuinely didn’t know if we had the biggest budget he saw the team as top 4, not necessarily top 2 which is how I saw it. However more interesting he said that in his 3 Rotherham promotions not once did he have a top 6 budget. I think we need to put some more respect on just what he achieved there. 

This season is his acid test, he will be battling expectancy, but he’s here as he wants to push Derby towards the premier league and go beyond  where he’s been as a manager before so he has the hunger, he creates a positive environment for people to be at their best and has demonstrated throughout his career thus far he can overachieve his budget, something we will need to do if we are to ever get back to the premier as there won’t ever be a scenario until we’re promoted that we have a top 3 or even top 6 budget. He’s definitely the right man for now and I really hope he proves to everyone this season just how good he is.

Conor Sammon, sponsor awards night, invited due to who I worked for at the time, sat on his own no one was arsed about a him, sat just asking what I did etc a real top guy even stayed when the rest of the players had gone! A good guy

Tough start bradley had and that’s why the hate continues, people won’t change their opinions now, he was a stand out for most of our remaining fixtures

Hopefully!
He would be a perfect signing. Local lad, championship experience, within the right age portfolio and a versatile player.

Well he played for Warne before on loan at Rotherham. Since then, on his Leicester debut he saved 3 penalties in a shootout. He won Preston's player of the year season before last, then played 18 games for Stoke on loan since January. Good age at 26. Can't say I've seen him personally though.

Players are starting to be shown round moor farm, heard a few rumours but no concrete names

Brentford released their retained list and have released Shandon Baptiste. I’ve suggest him before on here but now he’s officially a free agent he’s a player we should definitely be after. He came through oxfords academy so I’m sure Mark Thomas knows about him.
Hes a box to box midfielder with 10 prem games (2 starts) this season with 1 goal and 1 assist. He’s 26 so is in the right age bracket and will definitely join a championship club. 
 
Over the 21/22 and 22/23 seasons he’s made 45 prem appearances which nearly all them from the bench so I’d imagine he’d seamlessly fit into a championship midfield having only played 14 championship games in his career so far.

Good luck to all those that have left, being 26 I was 9 when we went up at West Brom, I remember Wembley but this year is the first I’ve been able to enjoy the promotion feeling, everyone of them have given something this season to help promotion happen, some good sides missed out again this year but we did it!

Bloody hope not. Absolutely sick of that middle-of-the-road nothing club.

The more he lets go would surely suggest we maybe have a few more quid available than we all think, I’m not talking ridiculous money at all but if we let the likes of Collo go it’ll cost a bit to replace 

Take 20th and keep building! It won’t be a fast build but trust the process 

Strange if we let Collo go
