If you’ve gone over, it doesn’t matter what you’ve gone over with. It’s all performance.
Other teams have fed their staff too, and some, including Mercedes, had to lay people off to do it. The whole point of the cost cap is that everything goes within the cap - and if you’ve gone over it, you’ve overspent on performance.

I've seen one report suggest that they've gone over by as much as three times Alfa Romeo's annual upgrade budget.
That is very significant in terms of performance.

This is exactly how I feel.
Decent bloke, good manager in fact, but a totally perplexing appointment. 
If this is how Warne wants to play, it means the players we signed in the summer were the wrong players and the academy is preparing youngsters for a style of play that doesn’t exist in the first team.
So we’ll have to start from scratch. Again.

Like you, I'm really pleased we have a football team to support. The uncertainty has been horrible for the last 15 months. Glad we're still in the game.
To answer your questions:
1. Yes I think he should have stuck with LR. There was so much goodwill around he really couldn't lose (I don't know the financial ins and outs). Signing PW and his team on a 4 year deal in our current situation was reckless imo. We didn't need to do it. Ratchets up the pressure on everyone at the club. 
2. The team was assembled for LR's approach and good enough to compete in the league but not for PW. 
3. Agree. But equally wish Clowes had given LR more time as well. Works both ways.
People are saying give PW more time and rightly so but I'm not sure what more time will show other than being better at the same approach. I don't think I can stomach it. I just don't think this is how football should be played. Once again, just my opinion. Good managers should be able to pick a style depending on the squad of players they have to work with. From what we have seen so far, I don't think PW has the ability nor desire to do this. 
I'm not being alarmist but really hope Cowles hasn't made a massive blunder here. 

A huge chunk of our talent and experience aren’t capable of lasting 90 mins. Big problem with no short-term solution.

How many players out there had played a full pre-season? And that’s before you get to the fact that even if they had, we had a shorter one than most of the league.
There’s absolutely no way Rosenior thought it would be a good idea tactically to remove his best players. They can’t last 90 minutes, or if they could, they’re at risk of an injury that puts them out contention at all.
It’s not like Clownes bought the club and cured every single problem. There’s still going to be a hangover from the chaos off the pitch and the shocking fitness levels is is where it manifests itself on the pitch.
Sadly, once you start behind, it’s very hard to catch up.

Bloody hell!  It's only a game!   ?

No team has an average of 20 shots and an average of 0 goals over a season. Not in the history of football. I'd challenge any team to find one.
It is impossible for this to continue. One of two things will happen; 1.) the chances will dry up completely or 2.) we start putting them away.
At present, short of putting on his boots and finding the net himself, I'm not sure what Liam Rosenior can do other than convince his players the goals will come. Some saying it's a psychological issue but personally I'm skeptical that Collins is missing the goal due to some unresolved childhood trauma. 
If the first scenario does happen, it's a coaching issue and then it would be time to look elsewhere. 
There's lots of reasons to be optimistic that number 2 will happen. Those saying "it's the same story as last season" is only true in the fact we're not scoring goals. Last season, we only really scored and looked competitive against footballing sides with a high-press, where we'd create very high quality chances and would see clinical finishing. This season, we're also able to create chances against sides with a low block, but we can't hit a barn door with a banjo. 
Let's not forget, we're out of administration, but we're still a club laden with debt. Keeping CKR or signing another striker is one obvious solution to what's happening. You cannot blame Rosenior for that.

Amazing that only a matter of weeks ago we were days, possibly hours from being wiped from the face of the earth, we’re still in enormous debt and yet some fans are saying we should go out and buy a striker like we’ve magically turned into a normal football club again.

I asked if anyone could remember a Derby side this wasteful in front of goal. Not sure last season sprints to mind.

Can you think of a Derby side that created so many chances over an entire season and failed to convert them? I can only think of 04/05 where we hit the woodwork 15 times but even then we finished 4th.
My point is nobody is this wasteful for long. Either we start scoring or the chances dry up altogether, but this, this does not last an entire season.
