I think every club in the top 4 divisions should be owned by a billionaire. Proper football.

We could've gone out of business. Keeping ourselves afloat in the top three tiers without doing a Portsmouth or Bolton - or even just completely vanishing like Bury - was in itself a miracle.
Instant promotion to the Championship isn't realisitc.

Being competitive while living within our means is what I have long hoped for, Mr. Clowes delivered that, I can't praise the fellow enough.

You don't need to be loaded to get to the Premier League. You need to be smart.
I fear we're not smart.

FIFA, CM and wiki surely count as established connections in this day and age ?

taffyram reacted to David in Looking abroad
He didn't, I don't want to be disrespectful and put it all down to luck, there was some judgement, just think that for every 10 players you sign with no background checks and in depth scouting, 8 out of 10 will be duds and wasted money.
If Warne has no established connections outside of the UK, it's definitely risky business.

By abroad he probably means anywhere outside of a ten mile radius of Rotherham

I'm no doubt being far too ambitious with these suggestions, and I wouldn't be surprised if they're signed by some top division sides within the next year, however...

Sebastian Nanasi - 21 year old winger playing for Malmo in Sweden. 11 goals and 7 assists in 29 games.

taffyram reacted to Bris Vegas in League Football
Since the e-vapers went trick or treating at David’s house we have only played 3 league games.
3 league games in five and a half weeks.
The international break, League Cup, FA Cup lower rounds and the Pizza Cup have seriously disrupted the only competition that matters.
Now we can fully focus on league football again the excitement can resume.
Derby won’t lose another game from now until March when we will be sitting in the top two.
Heard it here first.

Them not winning another game would quite interest me 😋
In all seriousness, I genuinely believe Sheffield are worse than we were and by a stretch too. Sadly, the bottom half dozen are, by PL standards, so colossally shyte, that they'll all take points of each other. Pains me to say it, but I can see the Blades ending up with 15 points despite being materially useless.

I know that we have to aspire to being in the Premier League, but it's numbers like those that make me think that it really isn't worth all the hassle. Forest fans will be saying that they're loving it, but it really must be a little depressing knowing that the best you can hope for is to float around mid table at best and have a few decent cup runs if you're lucky.

I see this said for every league in every season. Is it poor or is it just expectations not being met?
Very rare do you hear anyone say it's a tough league with so many good teams.

Well we've exhausted the "Warne out", "Keogh's to blame" and the "return of Chris Martin" threads so we do need a new long running theme.

Good evening ladies and gents. It’s going to be another chilly night on 5th December for Derby v Fleetwood. Here’s hoping for a decent game and a few goals to warm our cockles 😆

taffyram reacted to plymouthram in Warne Out Out
I am one that did'nt want Warne and had my doubts whether he was the right man to get us back in the Championship. My biggest hate of the Warneball football was playing 3 centrbacks with wingbacks. I did state; hoping he could adapt and try different formations. Last season he was forced to play mainly with a back 4 because of the players he had inherited from Liam Rosenior's hastly put together squad. We put a good run together and looked like we could pinch a promotion slot. Then he started tinkering with the team and trying out his favoured 3 at the back, we fell away and the rest is history.
A new season and Warne brings in players to fit his preferred 3 at the back and wingbacks. Due to injuries and poor results against inferior teams he switches back to 4 at the back. And besides the odd few games where he got his tactics wrong ( Crewe, Stevenage, Shrewsbury and Cambridge) the team have started to get results and climb the table. The Port Vale game even had the team playing out from the back with Wildsmith feeding to defenders (Aka Liam Rosenior style).
Please Mr Warne, drop the idea of 3 centrebacks, please adapt, have some tactical nouce against all these different teams in this awful League One. Don't recruit old players in January, especially wingbacks, go abroad if needs be and bring in some hungry exciting talent. If you fail to get promotion this season, I'm afraid you will gone. Crowds will drop off, good young players will move on and we will be back to how the squad was when Mr Clowes bought the club (Threadbare of players).

taffyram reacted to Jourdan in Derby vs Port Vale
Credit where it’s due. Warne and the players are trying to make amends for previous results. They are digging in and showing fight.
Warne looked dead and buried after Stevenage away, so to notch up four league wins in a row and move into the top six is a very good response and a small reward for those who remained patient and unlike myself didn’t experience a wobble at any point.
In my mind, there was an air of resignation after Stevenage away and I don’t think that has completely disappeared in truth. Current results are largely very positive but it would be very typical of us to drop the baby in upcoming games and doom engulfs the fanbase again. There’s still some convincing that needs to be done.
If we play to our potential, there’s no reason why we can’t go into 2024 on the back of a solid unbeaten run. Four wins and some hard-fought draws would leave us well placed heading into January.
Hopefully Warne and the players don’t let us down.
