    I agree, Saffy. 
    The interview and all the media around it has made me feel uncomfortable,  it's all overkill at this stage.
    It went on too long - very complicated answers, thought Warne was trying too hard. My comment about the coffee was only partly in jest, he really needs to calm down a bit! Maybe the club could do the same. We've hardly signed up Fergie - and if we have he's more Darren than Alex! 
    From where I sit, the fans were enjoying the fact we were trying to play football, weren't calling for the manager's head, so there's that bit of unease around the way Liam has been treated. He failed his target - so what was that? We were seventh after the start to the season we had, hardly dismissal material.
    As for Warne, I didn't like him before, he's very aggressive on the touchline, a bit of a bully with the officials, I sit above the away dug out so see it every game. Seems to encourage his players in the dark arts, Crooks springs to mind as an example. A good footballer, but playing on the edge of legitimacy all the time - more bullying.
    I think some players will respond well to him, but others? I don't know. I know I wouldn't want my boss texting me all hours with snippets - there needs to be boundaries, imo.
    So, all that touchy feely stuff left me feeling a bit underwhelmed. 
    However, what I did like, was when he started talking tactics. He suddenly grabbed my attention and I liked what I was hearing. My fears about the sort of football we're going to see have subsided somewhat, especially as we've not got those sorts of players available to him (currently).
    If he can deliver what he says, and if he can tone it down a bit, I'll be happy. But I'm not in the fanclub yet!

    Took a bit of time out to gather myself, have a bath, listen back to Radio Derby and get a glass of my special occasion drink (White Peak Distillery cask rum, summit local). I hope everyone is having whatever it is they want to drink.
    Can’t really add anything that hasn’t already been said. All my thanks for everyone’s efforts last season. From Rooney and Rosenior, the players and staff who kept the club going in the darkest days. You can all hold your head high for what you did.
    The fans who did everything they could, from filling the stadium to organising marches etc etc. Also the supporters groups who tried to get answers.
    The journalists who kept us informed as much as they could, this was a mess from start to finish and was impossible to report accurately on. Many lessons will be learnt but we should appreciate all their efforts from Nixon, Percy, @The Baron,Simon Stone and everyone else I’m forgetting about. Colin Murray, Dan Roan and the national journalists who gave #savederbycounty national coverage. 
    Special mention to Ed Dawes and Radio Derby, who has lived this far longer than any of us realise because Morris was in his ear with his mess 2-3 years ago. He didn’t get it right all the time, I’m sure he can admit that, but he stood up when it mattered and deserves a pat on the back from Derby fans. Also let’s not forget Chris Coles who after so much crap Derby related news deserves his little moment tonight too!
    Team Derby! Forkin, the council and the MPs who helped keep this in the spotlight and did a lot of background work. They have helped create a huge positive day for the city.
    Thanks to @David, @Boycieand all the moderators on the forum for all their work and giving us the platform. Special mention to @Animal is a Ram for giving us ‘up to the second’ updates (and all those who sought to beat him, yes you @RoyMac5). Thanks everyone for the laughs in here, at some of the most frustrating times they were some genuinely funny days in here that made everything a bit easier. 
    Finally, thankyou Mr Clowes. I hope despite inital reluctance this ends up being the best decision you ever make. I hope as fans we respect your privacy, but only after hearing your name being rang out by a sell out crowd on July 30th. 
    I’ve probably forgotten someone, despite going on worst than one of those popmaster contestants who won’t shut up and go away, but I’m tired and wanna finish my drink and read transfer rumours like a normal football fan, so apologies to anyone who is forgetten.
    Have a great night everyone, it’s much deserved

    Glory Hunter: When I was a young lad and starting to take interest in football, we were the team (74-75) so here is where I hung my hat. I could of opted to be a Red Manc like the rest of my immediate family but stood firm against the peer pressure. In terms of honours won, I obviously took the wrong path ? but wouldn't/couldn't change that choice.

    Frankly, Mr. Morris, this position you've held
    It pays your way, but it corrodes my soul
    I want you to leave, you will not miss me
    You want to go down in Derby infamy
    Frankly, Mr. Morris, we're a sickening wreck
    We've got the twenty-one points breathing down our necks
    We must move fast, you understand me
    We going down in footballing history, Mr. Morris
    Fame, fame, fatal fame
    It can play hideous tricks on your brain
    But still you'd rather be famous
    Than righteous or holy, any day, any day, Derby way
    But sometimes you'd feel more fulfilled
    Writing Christmas cards with the jobless and ill
    I want to live and I want to love
    I want you to catch something that you might be ashamed of
    Frankly, Mr. Morris, this position you've held
    It pays your way, but it corrodes my soul
    Oh, I didn't realise that you hate Derby
    I didn't realise you were such bloody awful baby, Mr. Morris
    Frankly, Mr. Morris, since you ask
    You are a flatulent pain in the arse
    I do not mean to be so rude
    Still, I must speak frankly, Mr. Morris
    Oh, give us your money!
