sage reacted to Eddie in Paul Warne
Longer than he got - a lot longer.
The way he was sacked by Sam Rush was nothing short of disgusting, and still leaves a nasty taste in the mouth. Clough had basically kept Derby afloat for about 4 years, balancing the books and operating on a shoestring budget (a string which grew shorter each year) thanks to the almost complete absence of any meaningful investment by GSE, and he left Derby in a far more secure position than when he first took over. The fact that Steve McClaren then took over the reins and took the team forward on the pitch only goes so far in justifying Clough's sacking - and hindsight being 20:20, it's equally arguable that the whole financial mess which culminated in Administration and subsequent relegation would never had happened if Clough had not had his legs sawn from under him following the 1:0 defeat at the City Ground.

You don't have to hate someone to not like their style of play and/or have concerns about how well they will manage in a higher division.

Christ I knew Canada was a bit behind the times, but surely Anno Domini has reached there by now.

As has been said many times, there aren't many who hate Paul Warne. It's the negative/one dimensional football that most reasonable critics dislike. Boiling it down to just "hating" him belittles many valid arguments people have had this year.
There are always those weirdos that bang on about hating him, usually for attention on Twitter. They have about as much relevance as Forest's opinions on VAR.

Excellent again tonight.
It may sound mad, but he's the best English player of his type.
Come on Gareth...

It'll be bittersweet for me come Saturday.
My lads decided to make a new life for himself, literally on the other side of the earth.
So we'll hopefully be celebrating, but in my mind I'll be thinking it may be the last time we ever stand together at Pride Park, at least for the foreseeable.
Still, we've had a good run, what better way to sign off than a promotion?

why?
You can renew with the early bird, then swap as soon as they go on general sale

sage reacted to MaltRam in Peterborough vs Bolton
They won't play a full team and they won't be at full tilt. Bolton will smash them, especially if we go behind and they get their tails up. It's on us.

I know it's their 2nd string but posh have been awful. You would be p***** off if you're a Cambridge or Burton fan.

Also depending on how many years you've built up, it could cost you more money over the next few seasons.

Read 2 books on holiday.
How they Broke Britain by James O'Brien, with chapters on various politicians and advisors who he sees as getting us to where we are now. Thought and anger provoking. If you interested in politics and centre or leftist especially.
The Satsuma Complex, Bob Mortimer's debut novel. Very Bob, very funny with a quirky cast of characters and a tense-ish plot.
