Straight out of the Arthur Cox philosophy of the privilege of being a footballer-remember you are well paid to play the game you love- the supporters who pay to watch you and work underground mining your coal are nowhere as well paid and most of them will not live as long as you will.

Coal miners? A strange example to use since the virtual collapse of deep coal mining. The last deep coal mine closed nearly 10 years ago.

We'll have him looking ten years older and like he's been going through a very painful divorce whist being in and out of temporary accommodation by February, mark my words.

 

8 out of 10.

Arthur Cox philosophy, not Paul Warne!

Possibly confusing it with bitcoin mining which, as we all know, takes more energy than a mere footballer can ever know.

Oh yes and he can’t lose any hair so unfortunately the beard will go

Derby County are properly back

Mmmmh. I do hope the footballers do deliver for him, because already I am beginning to think shut up man.

But will it fall out, or will it lose it's handsom and well groomed condition for a look that travels through "rustic" before flying on headlong into "trampy" before the first warming rays of spring start to filter through?

He’s a unique character: almost leans into his insecurities which makes him endearing. Despite all that, absolutely no doubt to he’s a very focused, decisive thinker. 

It’s an unusual balance, not often that a person can display, quite clearly, those two particular traits. 

[GeneralRam]

I like the guy, doing all the right things so far.

48 hours from now, I am confident we’ll be celebrating our first away win of the season.

And to be honest, that’s all that matters. We want to win. I think winning football can be played in many ways. In our position, we can’t afford to be so stubborn. We should embrace change.

Personally I can totally understand the excitement from the club and from local media. We have a proven manager with tangible achievements at this level. What is there not to be excited about?

Warne knows what works at this level and how to win football matches at this level. If he has to make us tougher, meaner, more physical, more athletic, more direct, more difficult to play against, so be it.

Personally I couldn’t care less for style points. I want to win the actual points.

I’m expecting full on fan boy for the Warne era now @Jourdan nothing less.

Well, I am not shaving my head.

I am not wearing sliders and a tracksuit.

I am not starting a bobble hat collection.

I am not drinking black coffee.

But I might organise the chairs in my classroom in a 3-1-4-2 formation and start a ‘why’ wall.

I woke up this morning and looked at my bedsheet and thought 'why'? I will let you all know later if there is any discernible improvement in my work performance, or if Owen Bradley gushes about me on Twitter.

I was really impressed with his first press conference, I was sad to see Liam leave but I also have a good feeling about this appointment.

I worked in an office where another team had created a wall display of a tree,  with cut out leaves in a bag on which you were supposed to write nice messages about other people in your team and stick them on the tree.

Suffice to say I thought it horrendously naff and forced in the extreme.

Maybe I’m being too blunt. I couldn’t care less about his personality. Why is this such a big talking point. If he was Mr Charisma or a more reserved chap. Get the results on the field and motivate the players to give it absolutely everything.

Because it’s the international break and we haven’t played a game and there’s so little to go on. What else do you want people on a Derby forum to discuss? The tactical set up when we have nothing whatsoever to go off?
