He's taken us to the top of the table.

IslandExile got a reaction from EtoileSportiveDeDerby in The Paul Warne Poll - Part 2
I see Mrs Warne has voted.
EDIT: I was going to say Paul, himself, but I'm less sure how he would vote.

IslandExile reacted to JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta in Derby v Lincoln Match Thread
I know this is tongue in cheek but I also hate the idea that people can't criticise Warne without the assumption that they want him to fail.
On the contrary, I want him to prove me wrong

IslandExile reacted to Sweetness34 in Can anyone actually name a single improvement Warne has done since arriving?
This topic makes me sad because I've just sat and thought really hard about it and there isn't a single thing.
That's not me over reacting, without agenda, the reality has just sunk in that absolutely 100% of the footballing side of our club is worse than it was.
I was bored at the match on Saturday. And barely felt the excitement of a 85th minute penalty because deep down I knew there was a chance that our players would be tired enough to give them a few chances. I still think it was a point stolen rather than 2 lost given how bad we were.
Pride Park is dead. That's not because the fans have just suddenly turned rubbish, it's because like me, once optimistic people are just expecting nothing.
It's the worst it's ever been. I'll never not go, but it's hard to get enthused and last week for the first time ever, it felt nice to have a weekend without Derby County being at the forefront of my Saturday.
I think I'm depressed by how bad it is. I was more optimistic when we were on the verge of going bust.
And to end on a slightly more positive note, I still think this squad is good and should be a top two team, we just have a manager making them look dreadful and it'll only get worse.

IslandExile reacted to Shipley Ram in RIP Colin Murphy
RIP Colin Murphy, rather thrown in at the deep end at Derby. He was appointed with the intention of keeping the managers seat warm while Clough was persuaded to return. If only.

Can it not go straight to penalties. I don’t mean at 90 minutes. I mean at Kick Off.

IslandExile reacted to BathRam72 in Dream managerial combos
If you read many of my replies on here. You will see most of them are fairly tongue in cheek. I try not to take life too seriously and often see the fun in things. Having said that I wasn't actually sure which Clough you were alluding too. Clough junior might be good as head of recruitment as he unearthed a few gems

IslandExile reacted to Millenniumram in Summer Rumour Mill
Only told he’s the one we want, not that he’s signing.
Also, was told today by a different (and much more reliable) source that David Clowes has absolutely not interest in sacking Paul Warne and wants him to be in charge for the long term. Which may be even more depressing than my exam tomorrow.

Tony Pulis and not scratching our eyes out with a rusty spoon (or being a stokie...and not scratching your eyes out with a rusty spoon)

IslandExile reacted to Gee SCREAMER !! in So who would we have then?
Chris Powell as assistant ? Worked together before. Just left Spurs academy where was U21 head coach.

IslandExile reacted to Bris Vegas in Don’t be too dismayed Rosenier ball is still painful
Rosenior’s last game in charge:
Yes, it was excruciating watching Derby dominate the ball and pepper the opposition goal with shots.
Give me long, rushed chaotic forward passes, 40% possession and one shot on target over that rubbish.

More happy for PW to stay knowing Billy Davies and Colin free

IslandExile reacted to angieram in Paul Warne Poll
I like the polls, because we can only vote once in each one. Whereas some posters want to tell us a hundred times on each thread why PW should stay/go, they still only get one vote in the poll.
It's the most accurate reflection of where the feeling of the broader membership of the forum is on a particular issue at any point in time.
I haven't changed my vote between the polls so far.

Clowes would have to weigh up the immediate cost of sacking Warne and his team vs the potential future financial impact on not winning promotion and the lack in development of our academy players.
