    We started out with 6 contracted senior players after admin. How much more stripped out did we need to be for you to give Warne any kudos?
    The re-build is a credit to both Rosenior and Warne, end of. Very few teams that drop to L1 escape as quickly as we have and almost none post-administration. I'm proud of that, irrespective of how much you try to belittle it.

    I believe we had 3 senior players after exiting administration, I'd argue this fits with the description of ''stripped back to just about nothing''? 
    I believe the point is acknowledging the quick turnaround from this dire position to achieving promotion as a club, and the part Warne played in this. Compare with how long Sunderland floundered at this level, we achieved promotion quickly, and this deserves credit.
    If the quality of player is the barrier stopping you giving Warne credit, then he was doomed from the start, as he inherited most of the squad. There was never going to be a way for him to impress you as you literally had your back up from the start thinking ''good squad means we should go up, and isn't necessarily a success if we do''. That kind of entitlement and expectancy is what I've argued against all along!

    I said the same to my wife and daughter, you want a cat, you look after it.
    Years later my daughter got married and moved out, but the cat stayed.
    Emily the cat passed away two weeks ago aged between 22 and 23 (104 and 108 in human years.
    You could be in it for the long haul 🙂

    All the best, Conor - right move at this point in his career. 
    Was a good signing for Derby, experienced head supporting the younger players and much respect for him in the dressing room.
    Admire that he knew when he needed to look elsewhere- many don’t.

    Ok, it's time for an update. Will be another long post despite trying to keep it brief as possible.
    Following Leanne's miscarriage, we made the difficult decision to not put ourselves forward as SGO (special guardianship order) which would have meant the boys stay with us until they are 18.
    We did say however that we would be happy to remain foster carers until the assessment process plays out with their mum and if they go back to her or placed for adoption.
    Their mum failed her parenting assessment, however she was given an opportunity to complete some training and take things from there.
    A few weeks later, the boys mum told us she was pregnant. She has the same due date as what we had. You could probably imagine how we felt. She's 23, he's just turned 18, just got his first new job.
    Shortly after we attended a meeting where we was told due to the pregnancy and found her own home, she would be reassessed with her boyfriend, the father of the unborn child. 
    This assessment once again came back negative, yet the boys would be transitioned back to her with more training.
    The reason we were told is basically children services funding is at it's limit, they have more kids in care per 100 than most of the country and cannot afford to keep children in care unless there was a major risk to their lives. Had this case been in another better funded area of the country with less kids in care, they would not go back.
    Few days later it was on the local newspaper website, North East Lincolnshire is the 3rd highest in the country for kids in care.
    We was told they would look to move them back to her by the end of July so the eldest could complete the school term, with a plan that every 4 weeks would increase the contact. Their mum lives on the other side of town, would find it difficult not driving and being pregnant getting across town to get him to school.
    The initial 4 week plan was complete this week and due to be reassessed on Tuesday.
    The plan was, Tuesday 2 hours for tea after school, Wednesday have the youngest dropped off, have him all day and pick the eldest up from school, take him back him and we collect at 5.30pm. Same for Friday and then Saturday collect at 10am and drop off at 6pm. That's it, a 4 week plan.
    However.
    Last Friday whilst they were at their mums, due to be picked up at 5.30pm, we received a message around 4pm to say contact social services urgently, it was decided they would stay at their mums overnight. Something that was not in the plan at all.
    The following day, the same happened again, they were now staying the Saturday as well and would be returning Sunday.
    They returned, everything was fine.
    Tuesday they were due to go to their mums for 2 hours, this was part of the plan, however their mum messaged us to say have you heard they are staying over tonight? We hadn't, contacted social services and said we're not happy as we're trying to plan our lives around this agreed plan and it's just getting changed last minute. We was told they would get back to us.
    They never.
    We agreed with their mum that they would go Wednesday instead for the night, this was last night, she would take the eldest to school in the morning and drop the youngest off straight after around 9am.
    Around 6pm last night, their mum messaged to say have we heard from social services as their is another new plan in place, we said no and tried to contact them, no answer. 
    This morning, their mum messaged again asking if we have heard from social services, we said no as we hadn't, she replied saying basically the new plan is now for the youngest not to return this morning and they would both stay with her until Sunday. Although she needs to come see us with the youngest for an hour before picking the eldest up from School today and again on Saturday during the afternoon.
    1) We would be both at work today during that hour, the boys aunty was collecting and looking after until we got home, 2) Saturday we have already made plans as per the original plan which were in her care 10am till 6pm.
    Anyhow, having contacted social services and fostering this morning, letting them know just how we feel about the levels of communication and incompetence.
    Fostering team have been great to be fair, social services, shocking. The fostering team were not happy as the new plan had not even been agreed with anyone but the boys mum and should not have been active until the legal team signed off on it and we was consulted, after all we are the registered carers, we have to be able to facilitate any change of plan.
    We've now heard the new proposed plan which is to stay overnight with us just once a week now, plus see the youngest twice a week for an hour, prior to collecting the eldest from school.
    We have told them we're withdrawing, the levels of communication are not acceptable and we've had no real chance to explain to them what's going on, say goodbye as such. This transition plan was for everyone to adjust in a slow, structured plan yet in 4 weeks they've blown it apart.
    I don't even know what to say at this point now, I'm just sat here in utter disbelief with the whole process.
