For the umpteenth time can we please wait until the window closes before this ridiculous petulance is released!!

He's not irreplaceable but I'm sad to see him go.
More than anything I just feel a bit gutted for him that it's not a bigger move. If we go up and he's still knocking about at lower mid-table then he's just gone sideways.

Wish him the best, but still think this is a massively meh step in his career for him personally. 

I bet we didn't get him because he saw that Warne interview about Jason Knight and he thought 'i can never sign for someone with such rudimentary negotiation skills'

Admire the sentiment behind this and knight always gave it everything for us. Genuinely hope he cracks on and has a good career.
However if he was as good as you proclaim would there not have been more clubs in for him? Especially at this £2m price.

Ooh, interesting!
I love a new name.
Gives everyone the opportunity to 
a) elevate him to celestial status 
b) write him off as a terrible example of Warne’s incompetence 

Isn’t that our previous Head Of Physical Performance? 🤔

Has Wayne Rooney been edited out of this gif?

Hang on, I thought the argument was that Paul Warne couldn't attract players? You can't keep moving the goalposts of your grievances to suit your anti-Warne rhetoric.
So far Warne has signed 6 players, including Washington who is about to be announced. Of the 6 players, 6 have come from sides who finished above us last season. 5 in the Championship, 1 from Peterborough.
Your flawed argument is that players don't want to come here because of Paul Warne. Whether the quality of the player lives up to your standards is a different question, but I just found it very funny that you came here yesterday to brag that your incorrect point was true, only for two more signings to be announced the very next day.

Yer but lets ignore that fact from a guy whos in football and has done this thing before and bash the f*** out him instead 
u know what i thought our fanbase we’re better than this or certainly had been humbled a little bit after what weve been through, clearly not in some quarters 
Not aimed at u @Topram

It's really simple.
If he took a single ounce of responsibility for the position he found himself in, displayed even the slightest shred of self-awareness and didn't instead play the woe is me card (even after he'd got his payout) with sob-story interviews then the ill feeling would have subsided.
He's still got ample opportunity to do that should he wish, it would cost him nothing. Maybe one day.... 

‘I think you do need to appreciate that many on an internet forum, me included, often post for reaction rather than necessarily having any serious conviction behind the point being made’

To claim I am a disciple is pushing it somewhat to say the least 🤣 but I do try to take heed of where forum members are coming from when they post. Some of us are deadly serious in our opinions others are more lighthearted, so when those who have a tendency to prefer the banter choose to be serious it’s not always easy to discern 🤷‍♂️. For what it’s worth I tend to disagree with your assumptions. My opinion is that, as he has stated previously, Mr Clowes likes to do his business away from the glare of publicity likewise Mr Pearce & Mr Warne will be expected to do so also. They will be working on the targets they want not those in the merry go round of an agents, journalists & ITKs gene pool. When the deal is closed they will announce until then we will just have to be patient. That’s my opinion, rose colored spectacles? Quite possibly … time will tell. Have a good weekend 😉

Okay getting a bit deep now. Can see where you are coming from but who knows. Is Mr Clowes the ruthless strategist who has appointed Warne to simply get us out of this division only to then dump him for a more ‘polished’ manager who can take us onto the promised land or has Mr Clowes recruited Warne because he sees potential beyond that which Rotherham could offer Warne and thus he sees that Warne can develop\grow (along with the club) into a manager suited for the higher echelons of the football pyramid?? I really don’t know. All I will say is that if Warne storms the league next season and gets us promoted that will do for me. How we do that I do not really care. Shortsighted?? Very much so … I’ll trust Mr Clowes to make the right decision once we are in the Championship. My heart says I’d love a good fairytale and for Warne to be the one to take us back to the PL and prove his doubters wrong, my head says football is a cut throat game and as soon as it’s deemed he has reached the limits of his ability he will be replaced. 

Going straight to the last part, it depends what I've had for tea. Sometimes if a pasty is far too peppery, but I get through it.
Seriously though, if another side in this division had Washington as their main striker, then no I wouldn't be too worried. But then I look at the top scorers in this division from last season, and there aren't too many there that would "excite" me if we signed them, but if they come here and score goals then job done.
Some of the players on the list we've had suggested, players like Alfie May, Freddie Ladapo, Sam Smith etc. None I would label as overly exciting. Washington scored 11 goals in both of his last two seasons at this level. The same amount as James Collins got, two less than Sam Smith last season, but I feel like people would be a lot happier with him than Washington.
What I will say though is that I have been happy with Warne's signings so far this summer. Yet I'm pretty sure we didn't even have a thread in the Transfer area of the forum until they'd actually signed, and if it wasn't for the man, the myth, the oracle, the legend, @Big Trav then they would have been names that came out of nearly nowhere. I'd hope there might be a name of a striker nobody was expecting come out and sign too.

A very good interview from a clearly very dedicated supporter who has clearly very deep roots into the club, much longer than when he took ownership of the club. He clearly understands business, people and has a vision of how he sees the club going - hopefully for him (and all our sakes) that he’s successful. It would make it all the much sweeter knowing he’s the beneficiary from it all. 
Interesting to hear him openly slam the figures involved in the Bielik deal, obviously one that he had a particular distaste towards, but also very interesting to hear that Warne has a sizeable budget available to him - even prior to the Bielik sale. I didn’t believe that was the case, honestly, also I thought we were within a budget agreed by the EFL. In the interview, it didn’t seem like that was the case. 
I guess we will see how it all pans out - I do like that Clowes seems to have an expectation this season too. Definitely feel like there is an expectation to be promoted and that he is funding that to some extent. It seems like this season we will have a more professional and expectant approach in our club. Thriving rather than surviving, again finally - it feels good!

And yet, without tourism, there are large parts of North Wales (and other parts of the country), that would suffer enormously. It is a dilemma but not necessarily a moral one as to whether we should have them as sponsors IMO.

White, Blue, White with Red numbers all day long for me. Childhood memories. Two league championships, Charlie’s hatrick against Real Madrid, Bruce’s free kick against Newcastle in the FA Cup and Franny’s ‘just look at his face’ goal. All in the  White, Blue, White with Red numbers. No contest. 🐏🐏🐏

And the bloke in his 70's with the gold pants that won't stay up leaves everyone eating his dust.  Fantastic and I'm not a mega fan

I would suggest that Yevgeny Prigozhin is very careful what he eats and maybe open his door with lead gloves.

Some of their contributions were minimal. I’ve raised this point many time before, regardless of his frustrating lack of finishing Dobbin had a direct hand in us collecting points last season. He scored 3 and assisted 4 in the league during his first season of men’s football. He had raw pace and the ability to panic defences. Whilst he definitely could have done more given the chances he wasted, there’s plenty of reason to believe a 20 year old with those raw talents could improve. 
We might find better loan options, or at least more consistently effective ones, but he wasn’t the disaster some people like to paint him as.
