I don't believe for one minute that Israel have the intel to know where Hamas commanders are hiding when they didn't even know an attack was coming.

Birmingham weren't known as a decent footballing side under him.

possibly used in the wrong position for us, which makes him look like a slow, immobile passenger. Maybe in a team with more protection, he COULD thrive.

does make you wonder, how, in this day and age, with the knowledge around, how do kids start smoking and vaping?

just drive to the nearest playground and offer the kids some sweeties. What could possibly go wrong?

basically, tell the world that there was a Hamas commander in amongst the innocent you slaughter. Simple. Nobody will ask for evidence.

Wanted to chuckle at this.

But but but the football was dire. Isn't that the point now with Warne?

so.. academy signings then?

not that it makes a difference, I don't recognise any of those names and do not know if they are any good. My point, disingenuous or otherwise is that Warne is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. People's minds are made up, so highlighting his supposed lack of interest in the academy is futile and moot.

I'll give you that on Rooney, we looked to play fast and attacking, but no way on Cocu, we were abysmal and as bad as we are now, if not worse. Tried to play a slow dutch way, and failed badly.

is that Cocu who left us in relegation zone and Rooney who we were relegated under? Make your mind up, do you want a manager to win? or do you want a manager to play kids? You do realise that since Cocu and Rooney, our academy has been plundered/pillaged for the most talented? We no longer have the Ebiowei, Plange and co.

He doesn't need to be. There's an academy director and a staff for that. Warne only needs to be interested once a player from the academy is ready for the first team.

point 1, the season isn't 13 home league games, and poor spells do not define a season. See Sheff Weds run in last season as an example. AS long as there's a good run in there, which Warne has had a couple of already. point 2, I never said playing badly and winning makes a good team, I said it's a positive thing with room for improvement.

Can anyone remember what league position we were in when Rosenior was relieved of his duties? I've got 10th in my head. I also seem to recall fans spitting feathers about how abysmal Rosenior's Derby were when playing away from Pride Park. IN the current situation, I'm thinking the reason Warne is still manager is Derby are well-placed in the league. 5 points off a play off place and 8 points off 2nd place. With 96 points to play for. Whilst the football is not brilliant, we are still winning games (won 6, lost 5). Many experts would state that winning ugly, and when not playing well is a positive thing, and gives room for improvement. Personally, if we keep winning 1 and losing 1, it's better than drawing both, we are still in the race.

I'm sure I'd be happy if I had shares in weapons manufacturer. Definition of wins.

https://clowes.co.uk/2022/07/01/breaking-news-clowes-developments-takeover-derby-county-football-club/ July last year, it was announced that David Clowes had bought Derby County. Saving the club from disappearing into the ever-growing abyss of crushed football clubs. I cried that day. I didn't think it was bothering me that much. As an adult in his mid-40s, I found myself resenting the amount of money I've "squandered" following Derby County around the country. I can probably count all the enjoyable moments as an adult on my fingers and toes, but there are plenty of bleak and miserable memories, from watching Jim Smith's magic-touch fade, Colin Todd's reputation dwindle, John Gregory's over-confidence implode, Phil Brown trying to reinvent the wheel, Paul Jewell signing everyone he could, to Nigel Clough being too negative to try and win. That's before Uncle Mel came along with his mad rollercoaster. A few years ago I decided to squander my money on playing Golf badly instead of football, beer, gambling and a curry every Saturday, that made me think I was detached from it all, that I'd cut the ties that only a few years earlier had me desperately scrambling for away tickets for 0-0 draws at places like Preston on a Boxing Day! I'd consider myself an armchair radio/TV fan nowadays, and my stress level and general health has been much better. I no longer live in Derby/Derbyshire, which has left me further detached from the club and fellow Rams fans. But from this forum over the last few days, I'm feeling some real rage towards Warne, and maybe even Clowes. It's worse that any time on this forum. Even Pearson had more support! Am I the only one who, whilst disenchanted with performances, and perhaps football in general, doesn't really feel Warne needs sacking? Or am I still just glad we have a club to talk about? I think some of the people so enraged by Warne could do with taking a step back and a deep breath. AS for Clowes, he jumped into Shark-infested waters to drag us back onto the muddy bank, shame on anyone critical of a man who had no ambition to own DCFC, only duty. Disgruntled fans could do with finding a way to contribute to the growth of the club, not the demise.

whilst a good point, the cost of paying off Warne would probably offset any difference of revenue avoided by getting rid of him.

fans who treat managers like this bring deserved bad luck onto the club and the fans who don't deserve it. Behave with class. It's one thing asking for better from the club, but to behave like entitled and unrealistic whingers is another.

Bristol Rovers have sacked Joey Barton - less than 48 hours after he called rival boss Steve Evans "fat man" and a "weeble". 😄

Which bit do you take issue with?

Fits perfectly with his character in the remake of Italian Job?

.but....but..... but.... they're now playing without fear!

thought he was awesome in American History X and even Fight Club, however the less said about his Hulk, the better.

I can recall the year after we were relegated, the then chairman of Bolton, the late Phil Gartside(?) suggested, and rallied for the EPL to become a closed shop and remove all relegation and promotion. He must've known what was coming for them!
